How to get a star: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/07/16/how-to-get-a-star-on-the-hollywood-walk-of-fame/ Short version: Have at least a 5 year history in the area for which you're nominated, be nominated by someone (anyone can make a nomination, but a letter of agreement from the nominated...

Have you not payed attention to what he writes? I don't think he would know a "completely satisfying conclusion" if it came up and slapped him on the face.

That's exactly how I see things in the two films we have so far. I was somewhat caught off-guard by a claim the films were even remotely about Kylo and his redemption. In a way, you have partial redemption when he killed Snoke but he then tried very hard to get Rey to join forces and become...

I never saw it in the theater other than that one time in May 1977. I'll be the first to admit that memory is fallible. I'm not offended in the slightest that you guys don't believe me. There's no real proof other than my memory and a couple of mentions elsewhere that have no backing...

Yes. I know what I saw and what I said when that roll appeared.

Maybe. More likely it was some type of launching/pushing mechanism. It just looked, and acted, gravity fed. It's one of those things where the more I think about it the more it doesn't play right. It didn't seem odd at all when I saw the scene in the film - just later when it hit me there's...

You are correct. I was going on a wikipedia article which seems to indicate that it does by stating "original roll" on the open. I checked my copy after posting that and found it's not there. That means it was created from a print that did not have that on the open.

:laugh: Same for you, my friend! :D

Believe what you want. The film originally was called simply "Star Wars" and the opening roll had "Episode IV" as the header. 20th wanted it removed as they thought it would be confusing (it kind of was). Lucas put it there as an homage to the movie serials of the 20s-50s. It was only after...

Yes - it did. I saw it. I was there. It was actually "Episode IV." Lucas put it there as an homage to the old movie serials. There were *some* prints that did not have it but it was on most of them. IIRC, the 2006 DVD release of the original theatrical version has it, but *not* the ": A...

I saw Star Wars in 1977 during the original run. It had "Episode IV" on the open scroll then. I distinctly remember looking at my wife and commenting "Episode 4?!? Where the hell are 1, 2, and 3?" **Edited to correct the title**

I'm glad I'm not the only person to have seen those "tells." The way people have been talking about those two scenes almost made me think I imagined seeing them. Normally, holding that breath is bad and can cause depressurization issues. But this is Star Wars. It all comes down to the...

Oh yeah... When Rey and Poe meet late in the film: Poe! Rey! I immediately thought "Poe Rey Me Fa Sol La Ti Poe!" (Ok... my 11 year old granddaughter laughed :D )

True, but those bombers in TLJ were more traditionally designed with bomb bay doors and a deployment mechanism that screamed gravity fed. It was a fun, well done, and impressive, sequence but just felt wrong. Yeah, I have a vague recollection of that being addressed in the film. I just didn't...

Yes, I'll turn away and go home. And that's without "reserved seat" ticket purchases. If I walk in the theater and all that's left are the crappy seats (those on the floor before the risers - sat there once - never again, side seats that offer a partially obstructed view, the first 3 rows of...

Some observations/comments: Far too much Disney type humor. I absolutely do not like BB8 for that very reason. It's the Disneyfied version of R2D2 and C3PO combined. I see this just getting worse as the series/films progress. They just about lost me completely with the "modernistic" talk in...

Ron, I was with you 100% until that statement. In spite of the many issues I have with TLJ I still have to rank it slightly above TFA for no other reason than TFA was a half-baked remake of Star Wars (Episode IV for you people who know no better) and had a modicum of originality on display...

First: I've only read the thread up through page 2 so I may be repeating some (lots) of stuff, but this first post will be brief. I took my grandkids (ages 7, 11, & 14) to see this yesterday. The last day to see it here. A first time viewing for all of us. Now... *Yes* - they *are* food! I...
