Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Early word is, that this might be the best Star Wars movie of them all.
I'm a little bit excited. And nerdy about this one.

First movie I ever saw in a movie theater was the original Star Wars. 40 years later, it is still one of my favorite movies of all time.
To each hate their own I guess.

Is it OK if I call you Grandpa and tag along?
Sounds like a great time.

Like I said I know whats going to happen in the film.
I burned out the original 3 VHS Cassettes I had as a kid. I'm not excited with this.
Its starting to feel a lot like new Star Trek.
Rogue One was great though.

I guess I'm somewhat comforted knowing that if Mathilda May showed up naked on your doorstep that you'd be the guy that would save the world.

Never saw a single Star Wars movie. When the original came out , the lines were too long for me and after a while , I lost interest in seeing it.
I don't go to see a movie because "everybody else" saw it. Plus I like movies where people talk to people, not some computer generated character.

I've read the spoilers, and it seems disappointing on the surface. Maybe it will feel different in theaters.

One thing that Rogue One did was answer that age-old Stars Wars question: Why the hell didn't they just put up a thick piece of steel to protect the vulnerability on the Death Star? Fortunately, we now know
