Rob Hall Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 And, R2D2 makes a BIG come-back. No spoilers from me, but the new one does a masterful job of weaving the original cast and story in and out of the new story . . . and integrates the new cast superbly with the original story.Great story. One of the best movies in a long, long time (or from far, far away). Certainly one of the best sequels/follow-ups. As an aside, we had the privilege and thrill of taking our 8-year-old grandson to see it today. He was totally enthralled and completely mesmerized. Just like his dad was 34+- years ago when we took him to see the original Star Wars - when he was the same age. Life is glorious!! No spoilers from me either; I really, really enjoyed it. Probably going to go again after Christmas w/ my sister and my brother back in Ohio. I went w/ friends, a couple of them brought their kids--an 8-yr old and two 14 yr olds..they all loved it. Another friend did the marathon at a local theater that showed episodes 1-6. I don't have the stamina to do all in one sitting like that.

Quick GMC Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I never understood the insanity around these movies. I have never been able to sit through an entire Star Wars movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Just saw it today in 3D. It was amazing. I agree that they did a great job of using the old characters to introduce the new. I could not believe how fast the story went by. I was still wanting more when it was over. I am still on the fence on the believability of the new masked villan.We have a new luxury theater near us. We sat in pre-assigned leather recliners. Best movie experience I can remember ever. Oh and it was less expensive that the AMC that we usually go to. Go figure.

Aaronw Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Never have seen a Star Wars movie. Absolutely zero interest in sci-fi. Every time I hear "Star Wars" I think of Bill Murray doing his lounge lizard act on SNL. That is "Star Wars" for me... That's ok Harry. I've never seen the Godfather. It's one of those movies I tell myself I need to see, but mobster movies just don't fill my galoshes with concrete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Aaron... I've never seen The Godfather either. I've seen bits and pieces, but have never actually sat through the whole thing. But I did read the book (before the movie came out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I went to see the new Star Wars today good movie. Better than I thought it was going to be. Looking forward for the next one. The first time I watched original I went with a kid from the neighborhood whom had already watched it a few times . I was a bit let down from how excited he was about it but I was only 10 or 11 and already was told about the movie.
