I plan on logging on here at halftime on Monday Night Football to see a full review of the new Star Wars Trailer by Barnes and I also want to know how many tears came to the eyes of Barnes as he watched!

Looking forward to it!

Well, I got a little soppy looking at the new poster...

Tickets go on sale supposedly right after the trailer airs.

Yeah...but I probably won't do opening night/midnight or anything like that though because of the kids, aiming for a Sunday afternoon show.

I'm hoping the trailer gives us a few more hints on the actual story. The previous trailer leaned pretty hard on the music and the "Chewie ... we're home" stinger to deliver a pure jolt of unfiltered nostalgia. Now that we've got THAT out of the way, how about we get some information on the actual plot / story / characters??

Dammit, I swore I was done with this shit after the Prequels. They sucked me back in again!!

I'm actually the opposite. I would live under a rock until opening night as to avoid spoilers. But it's too easy to get suckered into reading threads like this one.

I tried to avoid spoiler stuff, but I can't help myself. And it's kind of hard to avoid having no clue as to anything going on. But I think the storyline, if you want to know more, is this:
Warning: Spoiler!


I've probably got at least half of that wrong, but I think half is right based on what I've seen. Check back December 19!

THE FIRST TRANSPORT IS AWAY!

It took about 45 minutes, but I finally got Fandango to go through. 5:40 on Sunday, 3D.

"There are stories about what happened."

"It's true. All of it."

FLOORED.

That was completely NOT the trailer I expected. If the first played on nostalgia, this one offered a lot of new things- but it also reinforced that this is STAR WARS. In 2015. The tone was new. The visual style was new. Even the music was new. Yet only the most jaded or cynical would argue that it doesn't feel RIGHT.

This is the first SW film made by people who grew up with it and love it. It shows. Part of that is having the conviction to make it new and current. It looks like a total victory.

Rey is clearly the lead- this is going to be her story. Can't wait to watch it.

Still no Luke (well, overtly), but I think that's cool. His exile is being depicted, in a sense, by his absence. And by contrast, Rey is taking the unknown hero's role he once had. I imagine it will be a powerful moment to see him in the film, though. Or maybe he'll come walking out of an outhouse with toilet paper stuck to his boot. It seems like Han might be filling the role of Obi-Wan to Rey, so perhaps Luke could be goofy like old Yoda now.

Two months... If only I could get through for tickets.
