    "its time for the jedi to end"

    ..i read/hear this as," it is time to allow the jedi to crush the enemy" 

    the jedi have been constrained by their ways, for too long.


    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    I'm not watching any trailers, I don't want any expectations except quality.
    The Force Awakens was the biggest movie event of my life so far, and I was thoroughly satisfied.
    The Last Jedi, I am twice as pumped for this one.

    I'll probably be going to see it at midnight on a Sunday night by myself so I don't disrupt time with the wife and child.
    Sort of depressing not to have anyone else to go with or care about it, but also nice to get to take it in without distraction.

    I used to go to the movies every Sunday morning when it wasn't football season because my wife would go to church services and then help with the youth group in CA.  I like going by myself.  
    Sounds like you have a good plan.

    Who knows, there's so many angles.
    My guess is that, it's time for the Jedi to end because they get corrupted by the dark side and make a mess of the galaxy.
    It's relatively seldom that a Sith Master trains an apprentice up from the ground, they usually let the Jedi do the Force training and then swoop in to corrupt.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs

    So many questions going on in my mind after watching the trailer five times.

    My friend just told me that director is not happy with the trailer as the studio has included spoilers in it.
    Not sure I want to watch it now.

    I just saw a tweet from Mark Hamill saying to avoid it.

    Hmm, trying to think what in that trailer they felt was spoilerish. Have a couple of ideas i guess.

    The director had his comments widely misconstrued. He responded to a question if you want to walk into the theater totally clean, meaning not knowing ANYTHING, then avoid the trailer. But he also said the trailer was very good. He didn't tell anyone not to watch the trailer and he didn't express any anger or disappointment with the studio.

    For what it's worth...I think the trailer features a lot of misdirection. Scenes are cut together to look like they are happening together when they really aren't. Kylo in his fighter/Leia on the bridge and Rey/Kylo at the end in particular look like they are happening at different points of the film.

    I was looking forward to his big fight scene.




    With Jar Jar's grandson.

    HAHAHA!!!! Yes! What if the Skywalker/Jedi/Rebellion was just a subplot for a hidden storyline that ends up having it all about Jar Jar in the end?

    That's exactly what I thought.  Clips of different scenes edited together to give a misleading impression of continuity.

    A buddy of mine lives a couple blocks away from the Alamo Drafthouse in Winchester.  He got tickets for a bunch of us last night by going straight to the box office in person. Commemorative pint glasses, too, of course!

    That's awesome! I had no idea tickets were supposed to go on sale yesterday after the trailer. Around 7pm I saw it mentioned on Twitter. I immediately looked online and AMC had them up early. Scored a pair for 8pm on Thursday 12/14! Cannot wait for this.
