Holy Nerf Herders, were here already!
So has anyone watched The Force Awakens? We never got into any discussions about it did we?

I got it the day it came out on dvd and watched it straight away. Got a bit of it spoiled by Carrie Fisher of all people! As it turns out, it was actually quite a small spoiler.
Also, just realised I've been using the same skin for a whole year now, the Rebellion theme.

The rebellion theme, has been made the default skin for the day as it happens! I enjoyed the film and went to see it in the December having watched one episode of the original trilogy each weekend leading up to it. As I said in the main predictions thread, I managed to avoid all and any spoilers but in one teaser trailer where we saw Rey leaning over what appeared to be a body led to huge speculation about who might be killed off, and even I heard that so: The death of Han
wasn't a surprise. That said I think it could've been built up more and it didn't feel as meaningful as perhaps it should of. Little sad of the lack of Luke in the movie but at least it means we'll hopefully have more of him in the next one. I felt after such a long career, Harrison Ford brought a lot more gravitas tho the role of Han this time instead of just the wit. The sets were impressive to especially the old one like the Falcon which retained it's old look but - I don't know, maybe because it was because of sharper HD cameras these days it just looked so much more realistic?..

Oh man, Star Wars. I have yet to see The Force Awakens, mostly due to the fact that I live out in the boonies and there's no longer a movie theater around here. The one that was a half hour drive away, two towns over, closed down due to a supreme lack of business once movie piracy really caught on here. Shame. But Star Wars has been a part of my life to varying degrees for several years. It really took off for me when I picked up the Wii version of Force Unleashed, when it happened to be on the shelf in the department store I was renting my prom/graduation tuxedo from. And from there I got into a serious Star Wars mood, and found an RP forum. Kind of the Star Wars equivalent of this place, actually! I spent a year there, and that forum helped hone my interest in weaponry and in vehicles, and was the place that made me take character creation as seriously as I do! It's directly responsible for making me the sort of person I am today, and I love it dearly. Also!! I'd be more than happy to host a stream of some of the movies today, assuming that's acceptable?

Not a big Star Wars fan I'll be honest, but I did see The Force Awakens. I thought it was pretty good despite my lack of being a big fan! Think some parts probably could have been better but overall the story isn't bad and leaves me wanting to know more behind the characters, though mostly I am curious about Finn and hope they dwell more into his origins.
But I did hear apparently there was a leak for the next scrip in episode eight, but I would take that with a grain of salt since some of it sounded believable but other parts were too far fetched to sound believable elsewhere.

My sincerest, albeit silly, hope for Star Wars now that Lucas is (apparently?) stepping back a bit is that we may just get more lightsaber colors in canon! Now that he isn't around to argue about there only being so many colors, we may just see canonical yellows and oranges. Maybe even different shades of blues and greens... one can hope.

Wow, I done goofed this year!
A little day belated, but Happy Star Wars day for yesterday, May the 4th was with you? Okay that was terrible... Before you pelt me with rotten tomatoes though, I actually forgot it was the 4th yesterday. With what's going on in the world at the moment, one day/week seems to blend into the next at the moment.
