The Force Awakens Star Wars The Force Awakens: Early Tweet Discussion Thread (NO SPOILERS)

Anybody know what time the critic screening is tonight?

 

[Broseph44]

Hmm wonder what time the collider folks will be posting their thoughts

 

[kickass]

Will they dedicate an entire section to the Plagueis theory? :P

They said they were going to record their non-spoiler review last night and post it at midnight tonight when the embargo lifts. At least I'm pretty sure that's what they said.

I have a friend who saw it at 11 this morning, so I'm sure they're already seeing it.

Jar Jar was, and still is, the most hated part of the film by most folks, but I disagree. They only hate on him mostly because he's an easy target and the most tangible thing to dislike. I've hated Boss Nass and what saved him was lack of screen time. He was literally a stupid cartoon character.

Lack of screen time would probably have saved Binks too, but he was unfortunately a main character. He didn't ruin AotC because he had such a small part.

They have to wait for the embargo even if it's a non-spoiler review?

And he was also more of a toned down/serious role in AOTC. And not a walking punch line. Trying to be funny.

Yes. 24 hour embargo from Premier. So don't expect much until midnight EST tonight. But after that, expect a maelstrom of reviews hitting the web tomorrow morning.

If you aren't spoiled, then today should be your last day on the Internet.

"I felt a great disturbance in The Force, as if millions of Plagueis theorists suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."

For what it's worth too (warning could be a MAJOR spoiler)

Spoiler

While Harloff was a huge Plagueis guy, he was also adamant that Rey was Luke's daughter and not Han and Leia's.

I doubt Snoke's backstory if fully fleshed out in this film. He must be talking about the look.

I'll get teased for this, but I feel if Jar Jar was more serious and far less silly and they gave him a different voice he'd be no problem. What was the Gungan commander's name again? He was pretty cool. If he was more like him he'd be fine. And hate on me for saying this all you want, but I like the Gungan design.

Yes, true.

I'm a spoiler machine so I'm not going anywhere

Not gonna hate, I'd agree with this. Also if they changed his appearance and look that would've also helped. And his voice as well. Combine that with what you said and I think he'd be much more easy to stomach. Perhaps even slightly likable.

He says he was right about a lot of things. So do we know what some of his theories or thoughts were that he might've been right about? Wanna see if they line up with spoilers.

The bit I put in the spoiler tags is the only other big one that comes to mind. I think other than that his general predictions were fairly in line with the spoilers. I'm sure he read everything and based his "predictions" off of stuff too. Although he was also big on Star Wars News Net, and less so MSW. But I'm sure he kept up with all the spoilers out there.

 

[Broseph44]

At least he admitted he was wrong with certain stuff.

There is a guy on reddit who posted a review and spoilers. He posted a picture of his pass too.

Is it a good review or bad review?

 

[Broseph44]

Knowing Reddit probably bad

 

[ares834]

It's mixed.

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

Collider boys seem very happy.

Live stream started right now.

[Spider-Who?]

It's mixed.

So translated from Reddit speak, it's good. Reddit hates damn near everything. I almost never go to the movie subreddit anymore because of all the ridiculous hate boners they have over there.

That is the thing. That was what the entire theory was based on.
