I will be seeing The Force Awakens for a 9th time tomorrow!

Just to hear his reasoning why he changed "Jedi rocks" and why he exchanged the wookies for ewoks and his choice for a second deathstar without changing the aesthetics are just hilarious.

 

Jedi rocks: he thought the fat dancer and puppet did not give the performance he wanted and he disliked the music

Ewoks: he had originally imagined a primitive people to overthrow the empire. That people would be the wookies. But he thought there would be a discordance between Chewie being a co-pilot and his people being primitive (which is very racist statement to make Mr. Lucas!). So he decided to invent the ewoks, who were less hairy and half the size of those cool wookies

Second Deathstar: the destruction of the original deathstar would in his first story draft take place in Return of the Jedi. But because he had already destroyed deathstar in A New Hope (he did not know if there were going to be any sequels), he decided to include another one and make it look exactly the same He was just not flexible enough to think of another place where the emperor might reside Stupid

 

no way lol If you work at the cinema you should really start doing your job and not hang around at screenings you didn't pay for.

 

I can't even remember the time when I saw the prequels on the big screen .......................... hurray!

 

"mommy can I have that ewok bear....it is so cute!" Lucas' mind works in mysterious ways. In Attack of the Clones, he even gave Watto a type of hat which was compulsory dress for Medieval Jews to distinguish them from Christians. He made the racist character of Watto even worse for no reason:

 

Go in the early morning or early afternoon. That will usually do. But don't go on a saturday because there are bount to be juvenile spoiled kids ruining your movie.

 

I saw AOTC 2x, ROTS 2x, Phantom Menace 2X, I was to young to see A New Hope in cinema. I saw Empire Strikes Back 7x, Return of the Jedi 5x and The Force Awakens 9x. I love it, can I? The quality of the movie has everything to do with it. I recognize quality, and want to see it in the best possible way as many times possible, because I know I will probably never see it again on the big screen. This movie deserves to be viewed on the big screen. It is more than just a screenplay: the screenplay is just half the movie. Many of the subtext is missing from a simple text which does not include the accompanying images. I love the movie because of its artistic quality and because it did something with me emotionally as a fan. The movie set out to do just that, am I an idiot to reward it and myself by viewing it again?

There was this kid throwing popcorn in the air at silent moments at the beginning of the movie. I bent foreward to him and scared him by saying that I will have him removed from MY theatre if he would bother MY audience again. lol It worked. Silent as the grave.

 

I was at the first IMAX screening of The Force Awakens in Amsterdam. The theatre was full of Star Wars fans, and I've never seen so many people slip out of the movie to go to the bathroom. Some of these fans were so incredibly nervous and excited, they just had to go Seriously, I didn't even drink anything before the movie. I went to the toilet 10 minutes before the movie started. Also I didn't eat or drink anything during that premiere

 

Yeah I'll never forget that whole experience. It was right from that moment when Poe said: "who talks first" and peoples laughing because the timing was so right. They put up a camara just to film peoples reaction on that first viewing and it is just awesome to see those Star Wars fans crying and laughting and watching in awe at what's going on. Seriously I cried so many times, and still cry at some points in the movie. It tells something about the strenght of this movie that people were cheering when Finn activated his lightsabre on Takodana and cheered even harder when Kylo pulled the sabre towards him which ended up in Rey's hands. Most of the audience didn't see that one coming and they went nuts. I can't wait for episode 8! Even Rogue One, just bring it on!
