    TFA Destroys Box Office

    One factor is they made a big deal at the time about seeing it in Imax or 3D etc and as we all know those tickets are much more expensive. Here's a quote from the wiki entry about the highest grossing films:- "Another complication is release in multiple formats for which different ticket prices...

    Have to admit...

    Its great that a SW film is having such a positive reaction with people, SW fans and non-fans alike. I know not everyone's on board with it but the vast majority of moviegoers are giving it a thumbs up . Its such a change being an existing SW fan now to the dark days of 99-12 when the reputation...

    Reasons You collect

    I think this is why i enjoyed the Secret Santa so much. Getting some surprise vintage SW figs as a gift was a pure hit of nostalgia and revealed that excitement I thought buried over by the layers of time and adulthood. :)

    Reasons You collect

    Same here. I don't have a big collection of vintage so i'm appreciative of everything I have. I can't afford to buy for the sake of it so I'm more selective and buying something that relates to what I remember as a kid appeals to me more. Not necessarily what I had back in the day, sometimes it...

    Lukes Sabre

    It's something we all wondered as a kid - what happened to the blue sabre after it went southwards on Bespin? Surely it would have been sucked into a vent shaft too? It looks like we'll get an explanation maybe in one of the spin off movies if not ep8 itself.

    Lukes Sabre

    Doubt its the same prop but it is meant to be the same sabre.

    Top 5 TFA Moments

    In no particular order:- - The Falcon coming out of hyperspace as it approaches the planet Takodana. One of those brilliant fluid space shots. - The sabre going to Rey and not Ren. Is it me or have they got the sabre hum exactly the same as Empire too? Sweet. 8) - Rey scavenging the Star...

    I think its a safe bet he is. Wonder who the mother was? A yet to be introduced Mara Jade?

    Death Stars - SPOILERS

    One thing bugged me. Starkiller Base must have taken YEARS to build. Why did the Resistance wait till they're about to fire it to decide to attack? They knew about the other Death Stars surely this one would have been harder to conceal? I suppose its one of those things you've got to look over. :D

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

    Totally agree with this Scruffy. When you take a step back and realise its been made for a different generation and release yourself from any expectation its a more enjoyable experience. My 2nd viewing was much more fun than the 1st. :D

    Overall did you like or dislike the Force Awakens?

    A few little gripes aside but I loved it. There's never going to be anything like the OT - its 30 years later and so many movies have come and gone. I'm 40 in March and if this movie gave me the same feeling I did when I was 7 then there'd be something wrong! I'm proud of being a 1st...

    New Collector :)

    That's a good price for a transition bubble MOC. Was it being sold as such or had the seller missed it? Back in the 90's these variations commanded premium prices but the prices have cooled right off as collectors ditched many post 95 collections in the early 2000's. The demand isn't there as...

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

    I heard Daniel Craig was in it but hadn't spotted him. That's pretty funny that he was the trooper :lol: , did he do the voice-over or was that someone else? I'm sure it was the standard US Stormtrooper accent :D

    Ah, I must have missed the Pegg photo :) Pretty amazing for a scifi fan like him to appear in both SW and Trek! Lucky fella!

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

    Don't forget Antonius Block from The Seventh Seal playing chess with Death (not Bill & Ted! :lol) Ok it was the 1950's but an iconic image :D
