BB-8 scoping shit out as they are hauling ass is the coolest
Heh, that's a pretty cool little touch, yeah.

Well at least the acting is still terrible, very authentic ;}
Glad someone's ready to be a mega edgelord already. Her accentissuper thick though. Not sure if I might find that distracting. I guess its kind of cool as opposed to a more sanitized Hollywood approach. Not that this isn't probably Hollywood as fuck in its own way.

Maybe Phantasma armed the Troopers with weapons to counter lightsabers in case the Knights of Ren all get lightsabers and get out of control.

Maybe 10 years ago Luke went fucking nutty and slaughtered some kids and the storm troops built those weapon to protect the kids. #kidslivesmatter

Well Luke is the obvious reason why... But I hope it's not that simple. But seriously, it's not like this Kylo Ren guy is stupid enough to face him alone. His stormtroopers can tank while he DPS's.

@Royal: About mr Plinkett and lightsabers
I'm not sure we've seen enough to say that those complaints are pertinent to this movie yet. Its pretty clear that they basically had to get a lightsaber into a good guy's hands as well as a bad guy's, and Finn is one of the two main characters. The concern is going to be how and why they got it into his hands story-wise. If that sucks then it will be bad to see the lightsaber shit, but if they make it flow well then I'm fine with him using it and with stormtroopers countering him somehow.

i recently found out that movietickets.com was using the wrong seating chart for the King of Prussia Imax where i bought tickets for opening night. instead of having 4 tickets in the back center of the theater, where i prefer to sit and where i selected the seats for when i bought them, my tickets are in the first row center. i am fucking furious. what is my best course of action here?
Kill yourself.

All of Rey's dialogue from trailers has seemed "stiff" if thats the best way to put it, I trust in JJ and stuff but slightly worried at how she will end up being on the big screen, especially with so much riding on her.

I am guessing early in the movie, there is going to be some kind of crazy display of stormtrooper precision marksmanship; seems the kind of thing that JJ Abrams would stick in there as an overly blunt 'these ain't your daddy's stormtroopers' kind of thing.
IDK, it already looks like they can't hit shit with a fucking tie fighter, why would they be better with blasters.

LOL... relax nerds...

During the event, Abrams said he put aside his trademark lens flares for*Star Wars: The Force Awakens*as he believes he may have went overboard with them in the previous*Star Trek*film,*Into Darkness. ILM?s visual effects supervisor, Roger Guyett, was always there to offer Abrams helpful advice that assured he wouldn't succumb to the temptation.*?As you?ll see, I?ve allowed lens flares to take a backseat,? said Abrams. ?Every time there could be a flare, Roger would tell me, ?These are not the flares you are looking for.??
Edit: Jimmy Kimmel has some of the cast and JJ on tonight.

I don't know why that is even news. That is fairly typical in the Movie making business to work on a film all the way to it's deadline to be shipped out

He had to add in the secret scenes at the ends of the credits like in the Marvel movies.

I just watched that scene where they fight Obi Wan. Doesn't look anything like they described in that article. The ones they were using emitted bolts of some kind of purple electricity from each end, and the weapon was not vibrating...

The one the Storm Trooper is using in the new TV spot was clearly emitting electricity too

Not even the point. Someone claimed that Grievous's guards were using Vibro-blades, and they were clearly not....
Right, but the technology Grievous' guards were using is probably the same technology this Storm Trooper is using. That's better than vibro-blades because it's already been established in the actual movies instead of EU stuff

It's still dumb tho, because not once did they ever block a lightsaber.

I stand corrected.

So I guess that is the weapon then. Electro Staffs

You will have to excuse me, I purposefully erased that travesty from my mind
