Disney have no shame they would put it in bog roll for the cash but what a cash cow 130 million to make and going to take over 5 billion inc merchandise, the money they paid Lucas looks small now.

I can see why Disney got all over this. Just a bit of post production CGI here and there and then if you flip Princess Leia's hair 90 degrees she's suddenly got Mickey Mouse ears.Might have 'only' cost £130m to make but Disney had to pay £2.5bn to get the rights.

So they will send up with just the couple of billion then plus they will hammer this over the next few years
Yep, one a year now. Episode 8 is out 26 May 2017 and Episode 9 sometime in 2019. Then there's the spin offs. Rogue One is out next December and there's a Han Solo film in 2018 and a Boba Fett one in 2020. Can't imagine they're going to stop there.
Is that saying much?Went to see it this afternoon. Basically if you like Star Wars you'll be happy, if its not your kind of thing this won't change your mind.
Its a million times better than the 3 prequels.
Saw the film yesterday with my girlfriend (who's a far bigger star wars fan than I am,) in 3d at 9.45am too. The guy on the counter at vue said that they'd had four or five fully packed showings at the midnight screening and the same for last night. We had maybe 10? people in the showing, nearly all the VIP seats and then a few in the back row.
While I'm a bigger Trek fan than Wars, the film itself was pretty enjoyable. Loved how they made it feel older, very much a throwback to the 70's films. While I dislike Abrams purely for what he did to Trek, it does seem to fit very much so in the Wars films, so good on him.
There were a few niggles now I think about it, few forced lined etc, but the fact they had an amazing actress (Gwendoline Christie, Brennie of Tarth in GoT) playing Phasma and hardly used her was just unforgivable.
Still will be interesting to see the next one, I really hope they don't start to churn more each year and make it just Call of Duty but for films.
decided to go see it again sunday
forgot to add, i saw it weds night with my 76 yr old man and he loved it too
I certainly get that they are popular and as I said before on here, I really liked the 2nd and 3rd films. I just don't understand the degree of hype. It just seems rather OTT to say the very least.
Think some people may take it far too seriously and should just go and enjoy the films rather than trying to become a Jedi knight in their real lives.
So did Mickey Mouse.It it has got worse under Disney
We all know what you're thinking .... Red bit as a weapon.We're not

Saw this on TV last night and confused. Isn't the red bit supposed to be a weapon? So why would you make the guard a weapon? You'll never hit the opponent with it and are just running the risk of hurting your won hand.
I admit Phantom Menace is sub par but 2 is good and 3 is amazing.
Was undecided so have to go and watch again tomorrow when I get out of work.
I saw the prequels on VHS when I was about 4, and Phantom Menace came out about a year later - I am not ashamed to say I enjoy them all. I admit Phantom Menace is sub par but 2 is good and 3 is amazing. Favourite is Empire Strikes Back
They are and should be sent to the dustbins of this milky way and never be spoken of again.i cant even acknowledge those 3 prequels anymore, shocking stuff
The first film was dreadful though. Very good to the first hour and then a bag of dogs droppings for the remaining 4 and half hours.I see they're releasing Independence Day 2 next year, another nice little earner for Jeff Goldblum.
Forget original ideas, safe 'remakes & franchises' are the order of the day.

I really wanted to like it, but the ending is ridiculous. I do still watch it occasionally, but can only watch about an hour of it and don't have the stomach for the other 6 and half hours.I'm sure it wasn't that long, just seemed like it
I have to confess to having seen it many times, it seems to be on freeview TV all the time, I think I have a little addition issue there y'know.
