I'll be 45 in March. And I tear up at every news report and commercial about Star Wars, lol...I will be a mess at the actual movie...

Speaking of, advice anyone-?
I had reserved seats for us on Christmas Eve, but then read the fine print, and my soon to be 4 year old cannot go to a PG13 movie at this theater, they have an age policy. Flix Brewhouse, no 2-5 yrolds at anything but G.
Sooo, getting a refund on those tickets, and going to a regular theater.
Do you think a party of 7 will have trouble getting seats together at a 10am showing on Christmas eve? They have 9, 10, 12, 1, etc... How early do you think we should show up? I've never been to a movie this popular so close to opening day, and on Christmas Eve.

I think it's only the first few days, Th-Sat, probably on Th & Fri, that will be bad. Xmas eve is a whole week away from that, so I think you would be fine getting to theater at the normal time which would be 1 hour before for us, since DH is very picky about his seats Also, your show is pretty early. It might be the first showing of the day at that theater.

There is actually a 9am showing too. My kids would not be okay with that on Christmas Eve.
I am hoping for a less crowded theater, so hopefully this will work at 10am.
Bummed about losing our reserved seats and food while we watch, but now we'll just go to lunch after the movie.
Thanks for your input-appreciated!

That put the biggest smile on my face. I'm planning to take my mom and son to see it after Christmas. I'd take the whole family, but my husband is still bitter about the Phantom Menace. I point out this is J.J. Abrams, not Lucas, and we loved what Abrams did with the Star Trek reboot. He then asks if I remember the series finale of Lost. Maybe there will be enough reviews by then, he'll cave.

I'm 45, for the record. I remember standing in some ridiculous line in the blazing sun (we lived in Tucson) to watch something about which I knew nothing. I was annoyed. Then I saw the movie and I was totally entranced. I thought Luke was adorable and Han was a jerk for calling him kid all the time.

There is an interview in Rolling Stone with Harrison Ford that's super interesting, if anyone wants to read it (and no spoilers!). In it is this gem:

RS: You know, Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner was wearing a recorder during the whole day of shooting the "I love you/ I know" sccne, and the transcripts of your conversation with him have been released.
HF: [horrified] Are you kidding?
RS: LucasFilm itself released it.
HF: Never seen it. Never knew it existed.

Does anyone read this and/or have a link to the transcripts? I'd love to read them in their entirety and I haven't found anything in my extensive 5 minutes of Googling.

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

The only problem I see with this is Epcot closes at 9:30 and the Studios at 11:00. We're planning to stay for the SW fireworks.

If they ship people to Epcot to park (for DHS) - which is a pretty good bet - they'll have to bus them back to Epcot until after DHS closes....

According to my (possibly shoddy) searching, apparently the transcript can be found in this out of print book: http://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Gal...aking+of++The+Empire+Strikes+Back+Alan+Arnold

Yeah - This article says that's the source and includes a bit of summary (and probably why Harrison freaked out) that's described here:

WDWNT is claiming that George was seen at Disney. I tried to tell them that the livestream of the London premiere ended just a little over an hour ago and George Was there....

Seeing as how the Concord no longer runs, that's not likely possible, unless he's really Harry Potter I am sure someone name George was spotted there

 

[Skywise]

Maybe he's a new character at the parks...

 

[hiroMYhero]

WDWnt is confused. The rumors are it's Lasseter in the parks. He often is seen eating in the CM dining area and just blends in with the other CMs.

Chewie update before I forget: I kept looking at photos and thinking that along with strange-colored lips and an odd shaped face, he looked shorter. My CM friend reports Chewie has shrunk from 4 - 6 inches since he was last seen at SWW. I guess non-stop meet and greets 7 days a week causes Chewie shrinkage for staffing purposes. Maybe his narrower face gives the perception of more height?

Haven't posted since we went to SWW in May this year, but have read almost every post and am just as disappointed as everyone else that SWW was cancelled for next year. We had planned to go back again in 2016, but luckily we hadn't booked our flights yet. My 7 year old son actually took it quite well even though he is the biggest SW fan in the family, I think I was the one who was most disappointed. Would have loved to experienced everything again since we had so much fun this year. Mostly thanks to this thread and yulilin3. We would only have been able to do half of what we did if it hadn't been for all the helpful advice here.

Anyway, I just came back from the movie theatre and the movie was sooooo good! I was afraid I would be disappointed after having very high expectations for a long time, but it was just awesome. Didn't take our son today, we wanted to see it first to see if it's too violent for a 7 year old or if it's ok for him to see it and I think he will be fine especially since he has seen all the other movies several times and don't find them to be scary. (The Harry Potter movies are the only movies that scare him) He was pretty upset he didn't get to go tonight but what he doesn't know is that Santa will be bringing tickets so the entire family can go and see it on Christmas Day. So to all of you who are planning to see The Force Awakens soon - enjoy! It was worth the wait.
