This was very cool, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was at the LA Premiere dressed as Yoda.

Man I got to remind myself to avoid all Star Wars threads for the next few weeks, I don't want to be spoiled since I probably won't see the movie till January.

So now we know who was The Very First Guy to start the prequel backlash, thanks to that video.

Seriously though, that video's a really good example why the opening night theater reaction isn't always entirely accurate. I always advocate seeing any movie more than once before getting completely married to your opinion of it. I've been guilty of it, it's the whole experience of seeing a big movie in a big crowd on opening day, it just plain brainwashes you. Some movies hold up and some don't but pretty much nothing is ever as good as your initial impression of it. Some things end up actually better and some end up worse.

All three of the prequels had a huge opening week reaction; it really actually took a long time for the public opinion to turn. Lots of people basically loved them until someone told them not to. They're not as bad as everyone says but they're also not as good as everyone said they were when they came out.

I guess I just kinda wish people would wait a little while before deciding things were the best or worst thing ever. Especially Star Wars. You'd think we'd have all learned about hyperbole by now.

The last movie I saw more than once this year was Age of Ultron, and that didn't improve either time I saw it. I can usually gauge my enjoyment levels strictly on the one viewing.

With the prequels, I vividly remember watching Attack of the Clones twice, but Phantom and Sith just once.

When PM was re-released in 3-D some years back, I went and saw that again and actually enjoyed it a lot. Certainly not something I'd watch religiously on the set I have, but a decade between viewings isn't a bad deal either. I've seen Sith multiple times since then, but chiefly through fanedits

Twas 98% a few hours ago. Tis now 95%, 1% higher than Eps IV & V.

Some friends of mine are going to the 00:05 showing tonight. I shall be seeing it during the daytime like a sensible person.

I watched RotJ again today in preparation, then played some Battle of Jakku straight afterwards so it all made sense. I am officially ready; just one more sleep to go.

Probably not. But who gives a sh*t about Reddit? It's garbage.

I got spoiled today.
The guy edited the image out of his post. I informed a mod (fellow nerd) and he said he could only see the edited text.
He asked if it was a big spoiler and me being the dumbass I am told him what the spoiler was.
I f*cking hate myself and I want to die. I feel so goddamn guilty for being a part of the problem.

Don't so hard on yourself. As long as you and Han don't die we will be in for an excellent film.

May I make a humble request to this forum and ask that every post related to this film be wrapped in spoiler tags from tonight through Christmas day? Then post as normal after that.

I'm missing the midnight showing, due to having two kids, but i'm hlgoing tomorrow at 6.10pm. Can't wait! Think the last time I felt this hyped for a film was Prometheus (i'm a huge Alien fan) so hopwfully this'll turn out to be a better experience

I went to four midnight showings, Revenge of the Sith, Spider-Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man, and The Dark Knight Rises. Its just too late when school is at 8am the next morning. Thankfully 7 or 8 PM showings are becoming norm if anything is considered a blockbuster. I have seen ASM2, Ninja Turtles 2014 and Expendables 3 at the first showings, but those were at 8pm.

I am really hyped myself. I wrote it off as the best film I see in theatres all year back in January. I hope I am right.

Probably the most hyped since The Dark Knight Rises for me.

Please agree to my request above about spoilers. People should know before clicking but there are other aspects people may want to post comments about as well.
