Does this mean the camp out lines will begin soon? I hope not.

Supposedly we get the final poster this Sunday, trailer on Monday and there will be a 7 movie marathon starting 4am on Dec. 17th!

Doin' the marathon.

List of theaters

Any other MF'ers going to the San Francisco marathon?

Got my tickets for the IMAX 3D premiere Thursday evening secured just a few minutes before Fandango went down. Not going to do the whole saga marathon... I love Star Wars, but not quite enough to spend that much time in a movie theater.

I just successfully purchased tickets for the wife and I for Thursday night at a Celebration Cinema in Michigan.

notice how it says running time is 2hrs 16 min? is that new info?

Snagged four marathon tickets before Fandango went breasts up.

Getting the tickets was an adventure itself. Seems everyone crashed the servers on release.

So can we finally declare the "The prequels killed Star Wars" narrative to be the piece of shit that it is?

They've already raked in more than $6.5 million in presales for IMAX alone.



Pretty insane.

The hype has been managed meticulously and will be paying off big-time for Disney.

:cheers: Here's to not getting burned again.

Thursday, 10/17 @ 7pm.....my girls will be at their first premier.

Depends how well the new movie is received it might end up being "The sequels killed Star Wars".

This could be as great as the OT, and some asshole will still say that.

No doubt.

From the new trailer I think the tone is noticeably different from the OT. I would even go as far to say it feels "un-Star Wars." It could be partly because of John Williams using a very different tone for the trailer music, but also JJ Abrams' camera movements and style.

This is to say that the OT was a clear product of its time and I don't think it's actually possible to recapture that magic. It's come and gone. It doesn't mean there can't be another great Star Wars movie; it just won't feel like it did. I love John Williams, but he isn't the same guy he was 35 years ago. His style has evolved and changed. The OT scores are magic. They're perfect in every way and incredibly thematic. JW's scores of late haven't had that quality or consistency to them.

Then again, I thought he first 2 trailers felt very OT-like and JW referenced the tone of his OT work very well in them. 2 months to find out how it comes together.

Knew there was something off about the music.

Tickets are bought for the night from December 16th to 17th, 0:00 am. Girlfriend is joining me, even she is excited about the movie.

Got best seats in the house lucky me. Counting down the seconds...
