I’m ready for the new film. I’ll be wearing this when I go see it. Just got it today. The VP of my dept brought it back from Disneyland for me. He’s a huge Star Wars nerd.

^ nice! I am getting excited as well. I’ll have to content myself with wearing my star wars shirt and boxers.

That thing looks pretty large, or is it just the pic?

Escapism for some can be a galaxy where people who look like them (purple hair, asian, girl, black, whomever) can have epic adventures in outer space instead of constantly being shat on here on Earth by Jim’s ilk.

Big news flash, people with clowned-colored hair is NOT an actual race.

Splitting purple hairs. The last refuge of a fragile bigot.

Go boycott TLJ just like your crowd did for R1.

Political discussions are best carried on in the off topic section.

I am going to see the film on Dec 14 and I am not really sure why.

TFA was basically Market Research: The Movie.

This is shaping up to be Market Research Episode II: Revenge of the Focus Group.

But there is still a recognizable kernel of Star Wars in there and I think that is what compels me to show up.

That’s pretty funny. I’m really dreading seeing the purple-haired girl and the fat asian hipster looking girl in The Last Jedi. Star Wars is about escapism. It should not be about reminding you about the types of clowns that walks around in everyday life.

And yet the original is filled with 70’s hairstyles and side burns… just the types of clowns walking around in everyday life back when the film came out.

I love that pin! It’s like Star Wars & Steak n’ Shake all in one!

Maybe Steak ‘n Shake is some sort of fancy flying maneuver when battling TIE fighters.

I’m not posting the pic directly because it contains a spoiler we haven’t really discussed here. I know this is a spoiler thread but this is a big one.

So…anyone wanna talk about this?

I think the big shocking twist will be that Luke has always been bad even throughout the OT. Does it make sense? nope but I’m thinking they will do abit of retconning.

Does it mean Porgs are Force neutral? Sometimes a cool image on a drinking glass is just a cool image on a drinking glass.

Misdirection. There’s no way in this hyper-secretive era that the biggest twist of the ST is blown by a damn pint glass.
