Star Wars ep. VII ... Who's Hyped?
- Thread starter MatthewB
- Start date
I got my tickets online from the AMC site. I got the Stubs rewards card and go just about every week. The theater here has been refitted and has those nice reclining leather seats and lots of room between. I always get the same seats last row at the top if I can. More room and for me it's the best spot to view.
Excited! My son is SUPER excited. His birthday is a few days before and we'll be having a party at the local theater. It is a crappy old place, but it's the only one that will let us have a party (when they turned the lights on, it was hard not to cringe). The nicer/big places aren't allowing parties since it is going to be in such huge demand.
I'll also probably take him for another viewing (or 2...or 3) at the place with recliners where you can reserve your seats online.

I'm also stoked for this one. Everything about these new trailers have me excited about where the franchise is headed now. I think with Lucas effectively detached from the franchise some fresh new minds and stories can be considered while under proper direction and not being totally about effects and visuals. From what I can tell, The Force Awakens totally nails the look and feel of the Star Wars universe and having many of the original cast can't hurt. By far, the largest obstacles for me with the prequels was the look and tone was just off, and when you add in the awful stories and directing it just added insult to injury. This is right around the corner and I can't wait. Our fairly new theater is already sold out for the opening Thursday and Friday so I'm looking at going that Saturday morning with the kids and some other friends. They have reserved seating so no lines.

Super excited.. but like others, I'm not going to wait in line. I'm too old an crotchety for that now.
But, I also don't want to wait too long so some <insert favorite insult here> leaks the plot and ruins it for me.
And I don't htink Batman went far enough... I feel almost betrayed by Lucas with the prequels. They were complete crap and he basically rubbed it in the each Star Wars fan's nose.

I'm going to hold out and wait for the crowds to die before I go. The trailers have me pumped and the way the last few Marvel films have been (awesome), I'm hoping this one will also exceed my expectations, with Disney at the reins.
This might sound wrong to say this, but I would be up for Disney to do a "reboot" of ep 1-3 if ep 7 turns out to be as good as the original trilogy. I really hated Jar-Jar Binks.

I was a ten year old when the original came out and saw it for 54 weeks in a row every Saturday at my local theater I was such a fan. Loved Empire and hated Return of the Jedi. Hated ewoks with a vengeance. Was excited when the prequels came out but like most of you was socked at how bad they were. Thou I loved Darth Maul and felt he should've lived thru all three movies.
Will wait a week to see this as the first weekend will be insane.
