"That's fine."

I love seeing Chewbacca ripping arms off as much as anyone but that scene wasn't deleted because of the violence, it was dropped because it doesn't work in the movie as a whole. At that point in the story, Unkar Plutt is finished so reintroducing him for 30 seconds just to get his arms torn off...

I don't buy any of that but, as the article says, it does use the familiar SW story of the good guy being the child of the bad guy.

They're doing a trilogy, it's expected and correct to have some mysteries that take time to reveal.

I'd rather he lie to me so I can be surprised when I see it in the movie. The best thing is that he's muddied the waters so you can't tell when he's telling the truth or lying.

I told everyone it was Obi-Wan's granddaughter. :)

Sadly, The Force Awakens is leaving my local theater today so I went to see the final showing. Even at 3 PM, there was 10 people there.

^ Damn, that's pretty evil.

Mystery solved! It was ID'ed in TFA Visual Dictionary as a 'nightwatcher worm'. From Wookieepedia, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nightwatcher_worm The red eyes made me think it was mechanical rather than an alien.

Funny you say that because I thought it looked like the first alien you see in the cantina too. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hem_Dazon

There's two things that I haven't seen mentioned. Near the beginning of the movie when BB-8 sees the explosion of Poe's X-Wing and rolls off, some droid is looking at him, what the hell is it? It's not a First Order probe and it seems too far away from the village to be something of theirs. And...

I think the standard Blu-ray cover (with just the logo and the starfield) looks the best by far. The Target cover is my second favorite and due to the bonus disc, I'll be at Target at 8 AM on April 5. :)

Whenever you can see a full run of any decades-long movie magazine, it really becomes an incredible time capsule of the art form. In the days before Blu-rays and DVDs, CInefex was the only way to get a serious look at how effects were done. I remember when Titanic came out and basically the...

^ I picked one up at Barnes And Noble. It's usually down near the front of a rack because of its odd shape. You can check out the awesome cover and order it at their site as well. http://www.cinefex.com/

The new issue of Cinefex is out. It's a pricey magazine ($12.50) but it's got about 40 pages on The Force Awakens with an in-depth look at the effects.

Sorry, I should have been more specific but I wasn't using the cover date. The cover date is for the first issue is July. According to Wookieepedia (the Star Wars wiki), the release date for issue 1 was April 12, 1977. Issue 2 was released on May 10 and issue 3 on June 7*. Those dates come from...

Near as I can tell, the first two issues of Star Wars were out before the movie's May 25, 1977 release and the third was out in early June which was before the movie was released in most theaters. And I'm pretty sure the novel came out in November or December 1976. Apparently, it sold fairly...

From the "Better Late Than Never" department, Marvel is releasing an adaptation of The Force Awakens in June. http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/exclusive-marvel-publish-star-wars-force-awakens-comic-adaptation

They started principal photography on Episode VIII today. Only about 700 days left...

Anyone (besides me) see it in IMAX one last time yesterday? There was a good 15 or 20 people there in the middle of the day for a movie in its eighth week of release. I picked up the new issue of American Cinematographer today. Nearly the whole issue is devoted to The Force Awakens and the SW...

It won't happen but I'd like to see them have a one-week re-release for each movie seven weeks before Episode VIII comes out. That way, everyone could see the older movies in a theater rather than the marathons that are really only an option for crazy fans that are close enough to a select theater.

It's tough to say because on one hand, home video has made theatrical re-releases somewhat unnecessary (to a mainstream audience anyway) but on the other, this is a movie that has basically unprecedented success so the rule book doesn't need to be applied. At a minimum, I'm sure there will be...

You've got me beat. I saw it again yesterday morning and I figured it'd finally be dying out but there was still more than 40 people in there. Other than Gravity, I've never seen an IMAX movie with that many other people. And that was Gravity in its first weekend while TFA is in its seventh!

Since The Finest Hours is apparently not getting alot of IMAX screens, I think that Deadpool will be what finally knocks The Force Awakens out of IMAX screens on February 11/12. Fortunately for me, I've got a very small chain near me that will probably play the movie in 2-D until a week or two...

I'll be on my seventh time as well. I would be on #8 but the Hoth-like snow last weekend kept me away.

Surprisingly, The Force Awakens still has the IMAX screen at the theater near me this coming week while The Finest Hours is only on one screen (with two 3-D shows and two 2-D shows). And this is at a 22 screen theater that usually plays almost any new big studio release on two or more screens...

Yeah, my guess is that the similarities have absolutely nothing to do with hinting at Rey's family. And if it does work out that way, it'll just be a fun coincidence.

I hope so because you'd have to be some kind of gaping asshole to do that to everyone who sees your car. That being said, it is funny on a sick level.

You don't know the story of the next movie so I don't know that it's fair to make that determination. And I don't know that waiting until movie 3 instead of movie 2 should be considered stretching things because it's the most important question about the new trilogy's main character so it seems...

It's a trilogy of movies so it makes total sense that an important question raised at the beginning of the trilogy would be solved at the end of it.
