Apparently. we'll again see Darth Vader..

Aw yea. Apparently we'll be seeing a lot of him.

Don't care for the TIE striker design...is that the transitional between the old Jedi star fighters and the vertical fin TIEs?

Tried watching the new Star Wars again at home on PPV. I could only get through about the first 20 minutes. Without the big screen and big sound I found it very lacking.

Yeah, just a cash grab for Disney.

Disney needs to get as many recordings of dialog from James Earl Jones as they can before he passes, lol.

Isn't the dude almost in his 90s?

He's 85. Jones did some more voice work as Vader on the series finale of the Star Wars Rebels that was really epic.

Debating whether or not I'll go to see this film since I'm a bit past the plots on the Death Star and thinking the movie's awesome just because Vader is in it. We know who will win in the end and it seems redundant - but that's just me.

Still haven't seen it (probably will this week) and I've managed to avoid any real spoilers so far (yay).

I saw Disney tweeted a screenshot of Chopper (droid) and the Ghost (ship) from Star Wars Rebels in the movie. I also a video from the Film Theorists who had an interesting idea that the cast from the movie become the Knights of Ren.

The reviews I heard were that it's just OK. Slow in the beginning and then lots of action in the second half.

I actually just saw it tonight. It was very good, I like that it was set apart from the core trilogies that make up canon while still being canonical.

I also just got home from seeing it.
I loved it. I'd even say it's my favorite of the SW films. So different from any of the others and what an ending!

Maybe I'll go see it tomorrow. Was tempted to catch a late screening tonight for the heck of it.

I saw the 3D version which I don't recommend. My eyes are wonky so it was a little difficult to process everything going on.

Yeah, I hate 3D.

3D can make your eyes hurt. Sometimes it's like trying to watch something while underwater, lol.

Thought I was the only one who had it where my eyes hurt really bad with 3D. Hate it and it gives me a headache so bad I end up watching without 3D GLASSES in the theater

3D is a pain for me because I have bad vision but only in my left eye whereas my right eye has 20x20 vision. The problem is a headache induced by the constant correction of focus my eyes try to make while using the glasses. No good for me.
