I have a TV in every room and I have no clue who they are.
I didn't think Carrie Fisher looked that bad, but Harrison Ford looked pretty peeled back.
And during the closing scene, if you look close you'll notice a figure exiting out the top right of your screen just above Luke's head. This figure is the ghost of Christmas many light years from today. Consequently, Luke has just discovered that it's his name on the headstone. This is a large reason why the release date was set to coincide with Christmas.
I know of Spaceballs, but still haven't seen it. With only a few rare exceptions, we really weren't allowed to see movies as kids though.
You should take the time. Mel Brooks at his usual.

J.J. Abrams gives a big clue about Rey's parents in 'Star Wars'
J.J. Abrams gives a big clue about Rey's parents in 'Star Wars'
(CNNMoney) J.J. Abrams just gave a big clue to one of the biggest mysteries in the "Star Wars" universe.
Speaking at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on Friday night, the director of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens, said that the parents of the film's heroine, Rey, were not in the hit Disney film.
"Rey's parents are not in Episode VII," Abrams said to the audience. "So I can't possibly at this moment tell you who they are."
The fact the character played by Daisy Ridley can use the film's all powerful Force has fans of the saga speculating that she may be the daughter of "Star Wars" characters like Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia and Han Solo.
However, Abrams' comments appear to take those characters out of the running seeing that they were all in "Force Awakens."
Since opening in December, "The Force Awakens" has shattered box office records before going on to make more than $2 billion worldwide.
The next film in the series, Episode VIII, is set for release on December 15, 2017.
Maybe Episode VIII will have a character tell Rey, "I am your father," but until then fans will just have to keep guessing.
Yeah I knew it wasn't Luke. True Jedis don't have children from their commitment to the force.

I haven't see it yet (maybe early next week), but who owes who the donuts? Or would that be too much of a spoiler?Quote:
I just read the Wiki on the plot, and it sure as heck looks like bro and sis Jedi power duking it out to me. However, you may not get the donuts because it appears they don't really spell that out.
Let's just say that the 2 main questions of:
Who is Snoke, where did he come from, what will he become?
Who is Rey, who are her parents?
The viewers will discover that these 2 questions are fairly insignificant, and will be shocked and confused as a certain character's time in the story comes to an abrupt end.
So is it worth seeing? I liked Rouge One.
It was pretty good, but the Mary Poppins scene floating in space was weird (you will see what I mean).
Other than that the movie was good, but Kylo Ren just doesn't make a very convincing ultimate bad guy. At the end of Rogue One, for example, Darth Vader was a real bad***, but Kylo Ren just isn't that intimidating.
In my opinion at least, this scene in Rogue One for example makes you fear Darth Vader a lot more than you do Kylo Ren.

By comparison, Kylo Ren is more like your big brother that picks on you every once in a while.
I agree about the Mary Poppins floating in space being dumb. Ditto for the red backup dancers of the Empires master.
Kylo Ren is conflicted (Darth Vader was not). I believe his inter conflict will be the bases of the next episode.
Here is a theory that I believe has some good foundation to it. And since this thread is labeled SPOILER, here it comes.
Scroll down for a spoiler:
Snoke may not be dead, it might have been another hologram, similar to Luke's trick he played. He might be allowing them to think he's dead.
The title for Star Wars IX has a good chance of being named "Black Diamond", which is what Snoke wears on his ring, taken from under Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar.
I can finally read this thread. I just saw it last night. Good movie. They always leave you with questions.
I came away thinking Rey’s parents were nobodies in the galaxy. No idea who snoke is or where he came from.
I believe that is a misdirect, remember it was Kylo Ren telling her that when he was trying to seduce her into joining him.
I think they are trying to set us up for another "Luke, I am your father" moment. Or at least a "Leia is your sister" surprise, but the one thing you can be sure of is Rey's parents were somebody's as that has been the main question throughout the last two movies.
YMMV
I finally saw it last night as well. I can't believe I was able to go into it spoiler free. I also went in with low expectations as I had heard of people not liking it or thinking it was just OK. I loved it! I am hoping they follow the path that Rey's parents were actually nobody's. I think it makes it more interesting from the standpoint that greatness CAN come from nothingness. Anyway, my son knows more about the Star Wars movies and universe than anybody I know. Here's his very well written review: https://letterboxd.com/thegrizzlykid...the-last-jedi/
I agree with your son's review, and I haven't even seen it yet.
Nothing can recapture the magic of seeing those first three for the first time. I'll never forget Star Wars...I was 14 and had ditched school. I liked Sci-fi movies so I went in based on the poster alone. The movie had just come out.
There were only about 20 of us in there and we all cheered when the Death Star exploded. About a week later, I took my friend Frankie and this time the place was packed. Everybody cheered when the Death Star exploded.
Nice. I was 17 and was fortunate to have seen the original Star Wars on opening day at the old Centre Theater in downtown Salt Lake. I had never even heard of the movie (way before internet and pre-release hype back then was pretty much non-existent). My sci-fi nerd brother had heard of it and went alone mid-day. When he came home he immediately grabbed me saying, you've got go back with me right now and see this film! So, we drove back into Salt Lake from Kaysville, I was blown away form the opening scene to the end!
I was also 17 and watched the original Star Wars opening weekend at the Center Theater. We went early Sunday morning and it was packed but had a few open seats. When we left the lines were huge. People were standing in line at noon to get into the evening showings.
Those old huge theaters were a lot of fun when a major new movie hit the market.
Star Wars opened on Wednesday, May 25, 1977. We went on that Wednesday and there was no line at all. I think between Wednesday and the weekend, word of mouth about the film had spread like wildfire, hence the crazy weekend crowds. From what I recall, the Centre Theater was one of a very small handfull of theaters in the US who agreed to show the film. Of course within a week every theater in the country wanted it.
What an absolute piece of shit. As soon as Luke said "I've come to this island to die" I felt like walking out of there. That one line demolished any interest I had. They turned Luke into a pathetic, sad sack.
This movie was a mishmash of Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones. Same story as Empire, blended with the cartoon aspect of Clones. Way too much melodrama, with all these teary eyed faces. They're doing way too much funky stuff with the Force, man. I'm not diggin' it.
I see in the trailers that they're going to pair up Thor with friggin' Groot. What the heck? Just put them all in a blender.
Speaking of trailers, I'll tell you what...Ron Howard's daughter is SMOKING HOT.
I too though it was total shit. Just was reluctant to piss on the love parade here... but as long as you opened that door!..
Worst actress in the history of film got way too much screen time - more post death than while she was alive. And all the post production efforts to make her a final star only reinforced her lack of talent. Only one actor from the original could actually act... and he was killed off in the last episode. I loved all of the Hamill moving over the years,.. wait he was only in some corvette movie and shit canned after that.
Bring back Princess Almadea - and add some titty scenes. Even Axe could support that.
:-)
They could certainly up their game when it comes to hot chicks....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c7ec25051a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...868751c506.jpg
Marvel Comics made Deadpool for us adults... It's time the Star Wars folks follow suit.
