StormSurge Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I can't be the only one here who grew up a Star Wars fan. Maybe I'm the only one who is still a fan? Is anyone else as excited as I am about The Force Awakens? I completely understand any apprehension people may have but I'm all in. I can't wait.

Rowsdower70 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 HUGE Star Wars nerd here, and of course I'm stoked!Heck, I'm stoked for the new Star Wars Battlefronts. I've been pleased with how J.J. has handled Star Trek, so I think that the franchise is now in capable hands.

StormSurge Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 HUGE Star Wars nerd here, and of course I'm stoked! Heck, I'm stoked for the new Star Wars Battlefronts. I've been pleased with how J.J. has handled Star Trek, so I think that the franchise is now in capable hands. I spent a lot of time last weekend playing the beta for Battlefront and it was a BLAST! I can't wait for it to fully release. There will be a day of hooky in my future for sure. I agree completely about it being in capable hands. It's little things like this that excite me greatly: (The image on the left is a concept drawing by Ralph McQuarrie from Empire & on the right is a Force Awakens Snowtrooper. Such a cool homage that is unnecessary but is eaten up by people like me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJ07 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I was initially unsure, after the Disney acquisition, but after all the news I've heard, I'm hugely stoked for The Force Awakens. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximumRD Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Is that a new Death Star? Not quite, I THINK - Starkiller Base was an ice planet converted into a stronghold of the First Order.[2] The base was commanded by General Hux,[1] and armed with a destructive weapon capable of destroying entire star systems.[2] http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Starkiller_Base I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

StormSurge Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Where is Luke on the poster????????????? They're doing a good job of keeping the majority of the movie a surprise while still enough to get us (or at least me!) super-excited. We know he'll be involved in some way!

StormSurge Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Awesome Dan! I have some vintage figures now too but like all my original 2600 stuff, I gave my entire Star Wars collection away when I was 13. But that's a story for another day (or blog post).

StormSurge Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I hope that jar jar isn't in this one. Man that character is horrible. I don't think you have to worry about that. Even Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams had it out for Jar Jar, he recently told Vanity Fair. "I have a thought about putting Jar Jar Binks' bones in the desert there," Abrams told the publication. "I'm serious! Only three people will notice, but they'll love it." http://www.polygon.com/2015/5/8/8572927/star-wars-kill-jar-jar-jj-abrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenafoot Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I checked Fandango website (when it finally came back online) for the price of Star Wars tickets............ $14.70 per person (regular ticket prices are $9.50) Back to the Future ticket prices for tomorrow are only $4.68 per person.
