News Round Up 2017

Nah. I just started down this road because I laughed at the office when you said Star Wars fans were discerning and unforgiving. I don't understand your point at all. I'm not good at watching people cling to things when every fact available is against them, but it's a sadly common attribute on the internet.

Some definitely are...I think of our demographic (the core)...many are.

That doesn't mean toys don't sell...but I don't think disney has carte Blanche to go off the rails.

What middle aged Star Wars fans do you know that aren't critical? They have the credit cards.

So it's rumored that last Jedi tickets will go on sale sometime next Monday, maybe after the trailer airs during Monday night football.

I don't think I'll have as rough as time as I did for the force awakens when I was trying to book for the El cap theater.

I will be at WDW though so I'll want opening show at AMC Disney springs. Hope that won't be as hard a ticket to get.

That's what happened when the Force Awakens trailer debuted on MNF. So, I would assume this rumor is true.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

There's been no official confirmation of the trailer and ticket sales...

However it's very likely the trailer will show at the New York comic con on Saturday and likely would then go on abc/espn per pattern this Monday night.

Can we take this elsewhere?

As always great discussion but not really anything related to anything in the news.

Critical? Somewhat. But I bet most of the core went and saw at least 2 of the prequels in theaters and pretty much all of the core went to see Episode VII. So as critical as it may be, it certainly was forgiving following those prequels. Most of it will go see Episode VIII. I don't know too many people that were turned off after Episode VII, certainly fewer were upset about that than Episode I, II or III in my experience. Most of the guys my age with kids are happy to keep showing not just the originals but the prequels to their kids. So the prequels were forgiven in deed if certainly not forgotten. I'm not so sure about Han Solo. That one might be a mistake.

Anyway, I think we can both (maybe?) agree we beat this one to death. It was a slow day, so no harm done I guess.

You know what I'm gonna say:

I know...against my better judgement, I'm taking my kid

Ok...now this is a medical emergency...

Who in the hell have you been hanging out with?!?

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I've certainly never forgiven the prequels. I think it is quite possible that on a technical level, Attack of the Clones may be in competition for the worst movie ever.

 

[skier_pete]

My opinion is Star Wars was damaged greatly - even if it still makes gobs - and that disney dare not make crap...to be honest.

Not that I want to turn this into a Star Wars debate thread - but it was really critical for Episode VII and even Rogue One to be good movies - and they were. Probably even episode VIII needs to be resonably good, but if they have a stinker after that, I think they would survive.

I have really high hopes for Last Jedi. Every time I hear Rian Johnson talk about filming it I get really excited. Carrie Fisher helped him with the script, so it can't be bad

Ok...not to debate

I think one was a "B+" and one That started at a "B" and now has slid Into the lower "C" range...

I get the opposite...I feel like he is in over his head. We'll see soon. Hoping hamill's part is good...that and snoke would probably be enough.
