Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Discussion * SPOILER THREAD * — Page 202

Hey Star Wars fans! Here’s a TFA sneak-peek you guys might be interested in:

For their 300th episode, the popular movie review podcast “Comedy Film Nerds” is going to be recording and releasing a review episode of The Force Awakens before the film is even released in North America.

The two hosts (@GrahamElwood and @ChrisMancini) live in California, but are literally flying across the world to Melbourne, Australia JUST to see the movie first and give the fans some info about what you’re about to see. They’ll be seeing the film on what will actually be Tuesday 12/15 in the US.

Then, right after, they’re going to record a live episode in front of the audience that just saw the film, reviewing and discussing all things TFA. It’ll be a mash-up event with Steele Wars, an aussie Star Wars podcast.

These guys are all huge huge Star Wars fans (their podcast’s slogan is legit ‘Han shot first.’), so I definitely think they’ll have some awesome stuff to say.

Anyway, I suggest you subscribe to the ‘Comedy Film Nerds’ podcast on iTunes.

The episode will drop at 11am on Wednesday 12/16 (US Pacific Time [UTC -8:00]).

I’m super excited to hear what they have to say about it. I just feel like I need to know asap whether it’s gonna be awesome or not, haha.

Well I guess I really did spoil the movie for myself months ago. Leaked images today of a children’s book line up pretty much exactly with the MSW plot outline. Not sure whether it was better to learn of the spoilers’ truth now or at the movie. Oh well, I still think it won’t ruin my enjoyment, as scene/dialogue specifics seem to still be intact. (although definitely those will be over the internet soon enough.)

Although I still suspect nearly 1/3 of the movie to be different from rumors, since some their “spoilers” changed over time.

After seeing Snoke’s description I can’t help but wonder… could he be Ezra Bridger from Star Wars: Rebels?

Really cool look at the score, editing/writing process, and the level of secrecy.

The only reason I haven’t gone on lockdown yet is I’m hoping the score leaks. I am dying to hear more than a snippet.

I know, I just feel bad for some of you, I guess it’s my fault for bothering to read this forum, but it seems to suck the life out of everything, that so many will seem to hate or gripe no matter what is done to try to appease them.

I know this is from 20 pages ago, but I just wanted to point out that NOTHING has been done to appease OOT fans. NOTHING. People on this forum wouldn’t be so critical and in such a bad mood about all things Star Wars if the original films hadn’t been disgraced and buried away like they have been since the SE and PT.

I’m sure the bickering will start minutes after Han and Leia are reunited. 😉

I really hope so!

I have not heard anyone else bring this up, but it may have been said already.

I mean as you said Silverwook I want some proper flaming arguments going down here… But there is a chance that they may not still be together in this movie in fact I am banking on it or almost hoping for it as no longer being a couple… but What if by the end of this new trilogy Han and Leia end up together again.

would’nt that be something?

I don’t know what happens in TFA, but that would have been a great idea. Write them as though they haven’t seen each other in years, then get reunited late in life. The older we get the more we can share that sentiment, the longing to meet people again we once knew in years gone by.

Would have been nice if he worked on another restoration.

Something is bothering me. How can Rey undertstand BB8’s bleeps? I can’t recall Luke being able to interpret R2, pretty sure C3PO used to interpret?

If Rey is a self-sufficient scavenger she would probably have to learn astromech-speak as part of her trade. Makes about as much sense as Han being able to understand Chewie and vice versa.

I thought Luke could understand R2D2 by the second movie.

From memory, Lukes’ X wing also used to interpret R2>?

I kind of like to think Luke only THINKS he can understand R2, but he really has no idea and is just projecting.

Han’s new ride:

Here’s the link to the imgur page, it may be a little easier to make out the text there.

Also, it’s since been deleted, but someone claiming to be a projectionist for tonight’s premiere posted on Reddit a couple hours ago that they’d just watched the film to make sure there aren’t any technical problems. He said the MSW outline is accurate up until the last half hour or so of the film and that no one claiming to have insider info has gotten it right. He urged everyone to stay away from spoilers for the next couple days because as of now, no one is actually spoiled on the end. I don’t know if I believe him, but I want to enough to take his advice.
