    *Spoilers* What are your thoughts on Max Von Sydow?

    I forgot about him. There's rumours that Simon Pegg played this character - must have been a bit pissed that he wasn't in the theatrical cut! The Star Wars wiki lists Zuvio as appearing in the film, must have been a glimpse - maybe he'll be the Prune Face of TFA :D...

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    Definitely. I haven't seen it in Imax yet but I have watched the 2D and 3D. Go and see the 2D, the 3D doesn't add anything really but its a bit easier to watch, don't go down too close to the screen either. Go up the back a bit and the fast action may be a bit easier on the eyes. :D

    *Spoilers* What are your thoughts on Max Von Sydow?

    I think this is where the new canon material that's also out may help. I haven't read any of it, but now it would really help to fill in the blanks and set the scene for a lot of the characters that eventually show up in the film. Who knows he may turn up in Rogue One next year? Disney does...

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    That's a shame it hasn't grown on you with a 2nd viewing mate. I've seen it a 2nd time today as well and I actually feel more positive 2nd time around. There are loads of common threads from ANH running all the way through it, it irked me as well. My mates and I have been discussing it all day...

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    One minor thing I'm glad Disney got right was not adding a Disney Castle or Mickey Mouse symbol or some other Disneyesque symbol at the beginning. Just Lucasfilm, Star Wars logo and into the EP7 crawl - as perfect as it could have been for a non Fox film. :D They must have known the Fox...

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    I don't think it was Coruscant, done a quick Google search on folks that have been reading the books leading up to the film:- 1.) Hosnian Prime They said they attacked the Hosnian System. It only makes sense they have destroyed Hosnian Prime, since they almost literally said it. 2.) Chandrilla...

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    I thought Kylo Ren suggested using clones to Hux as an alternative to Stormtroopers as he was questioning their reliability due to Finn doing a runner? From that I took it that the Stormies weren't clones. Finn also mentioned he was taken from his family when younger to be raised as a trooper.

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    I'm still taking it all in. :) A few things that are niggling me - Rey and Finn both seemed to do pretty well with a lightsabre against a highly trained Ren despite never being trained themselves! Also Mark Hamill doesn't utter one word in the film!!? Ships were awesome but as usual the 3D...

    im ready for tfa

    I watched all 6 a few weeks back including the original theatrical cuts of the OT. First time i've seen the non-special editions in 20 years, they hold up surprisingly well. Disney, hear me - please get the theatrical cuts out on Bluray! 12 hours to survive not hearing spoilers before kick off...

    Anyone opened one of these up yet over here? Interesting to see if they're all as bad as the reviews! :D

    What happened to your childhood collection?

    This is like ripping open old wounds! I told the story when I first started posting a year back. http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3797&start=4230 Basically all my childhood and subsequent vintage purchases were in a storage unit my brother was renting. It was our joint...

    TFA Trailer

    The voice about 17secs into the trailer that asks 'who are you?' in a high pitched voice I'm betting is Luke. I think whoever comes to find him, Rey or whoever will find him doing a Yoda - playing a weird old guy that couldn't possibly be a Jedi. Throwing his voice or putting on a character just...

    Told im not a true SW fan... again

    Don't let it get to you Lee, emotions are running high just now. :D If you were there in-between 77 and 85 then that's more important than all the sequels/prequels they could ever release. If you were a fan back then you experienced the magic when it was new - it will never be the same as that...

    TFA Trailer

    It was sensational. The shot of X-Wings opening their S-foils and having the same blaster sounds gave me goosebumps! :D The JW music just drifting in at the right moment. Even if this film turns out to be garbage (and I don't think it will be) you have to admit these have been absolutely...

    When did vintage first start going up in value?

    I mentioned elsewhere on here I naively asked a shop assistant in the late 80's what happened to all the SW stuff they used to sell. About a year earlier i was in the same shop and they had shelves full of discount stuff. That was when the shop assistant said 'are they not collectors item now?'...
