EVENT The Cantina's Social Countdown to the Last Jedi

I would, if I were you. If nothing else, simply because of creator’s intent: Rian Johnson has reiterated time and time again that it might be best to avoid stuff if you want to get the most out of the film. I think that there’s a good chance that this could be a game-changing film, but I suppose it depends on your own preferences.

I followed the RO leaks pretty closely, still had no idea Vader’s scene at the film’s end, and was absolutely blown away. Would you want to know if Luke did something like that beforehand, or who Rey’s parents are, etc.? Again, personal preferences and all that; for me, the answer is a very firm no: I want to avoid that stuff.

There’s over a full week between the Japanese premiere and general release. I’d go dark either on the 6th (Japanese premiere) or the 8th (world premiere); my personal plan is to avoid stuff from the 6th until the 8th, only watching the world premiere on the 8th to see the cast and director one more time before I see the film.

 

I'm not quite sure what the Japanese event is supposed to be. I think they're going to show fragments if anything.

 

I really hope those who see the movie at the premiere will keep their mouth shut.
I dont care if they tell us the movie had some unexpected twists or that it is great, just dont tell us Luke did this, Kylo does this, Rey's parents are XYZ...

 

From everything that has been said, and what with it being a premiere, it seems that the film will certainly be shown.

From SWNN: Japan is getting its own premiere for Star Wars: The Last Jedi a whole nine days before the film opens in most markets. This will also be two full days ahead of the World Premiere in Los Angeles, California (even though it’s being shown in Japan before then, oddly enough).

A fan from Tumblr by the name of Sleemo took notice of a particular promotion – one which indicated that the Japanese Red Carpet for the film will arrive before the official World Premiere: “The article also says that those in Japan can sign up for a chance to win tickets to the red carpet event (10 pairs of tickets up for grabs), plus a special screening of the film later that evening (5 pairs of tickets available).”

 

It appears every film in trilogy has Finn's woow?

 

I assume the livestreaming of the premiere is taking place on the 15th ??

 

hopefully you're joking... i'm seeing it the day before that so i hope so lol

i was just looking this up and i'm struggling to find it.. is it the 8th december in LA?

it's a busy week for star wars, and google is failing me... or i am failing google lol

 

The premiere event is on December 8th.

 

I will be attending the premiere of TLJ, much like TFA. To get personal, it is kind of ironic that I will be seeing TLJ on opening night. When TFA came out I was about to graduate from college and with TLJ I just started a new job. How ironic how SWs coincides with life-changing events for me. But I digress.

For me, that week will be me rewatching all the prior films with TFA being reserved on that same day TLJ comes out. Which works for me given how A) I want to watch TFA and have knowledge of that movie to a T and then go into TLJ and B) Because I have only seen that movie a handful of times and what better time when its sequel came out.

So yeah, what I will be doing is arguably nothing special and I apologize for sounding egotistical, but a new SWs movie is coming out that is the ST.

 

don't you dare look at that book before you see the film Addi !

no!..... don't !.. i'll be watching you !

 

agreed! i am going to the bookstore day after i see the movie too, rather than order online. : D

 

PULL THE PLUG YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF LOL

 

Best way to avoid the spoilers, and this is my personal method, is to watch all the coverage of the tv interviews and such. The actors generally spoil absolutely nothing. The TV spots are optional of course and you don't have to worry about anymore trailers. Watch all the way up to the red carpet and world premiere stuff. Enjoy the hell out of that annual livestream, then force yourself to do a social media blackout from then until release night. It is very simple to stay off Facebook and Twitter for a few days. Messenger makes it easy so you can still message your friends without having to go through the official Facebook website. I also HIGHLY recommend staying off here because some people will come in here and spoil the film. We have had run-ins with those guys over at The Alliance to Preserve the Expanded Universe in years past and it is their primary objective to go into forums, social media spaces, and actual movie theaters just to ruin the movie for fans a la Homer Simpson style, but about 10 times worse. In many cases, these fans have been arrested for disturbing the peace and have been physically attacked in public, so it is best to be prepared for all scenarios online and in the real world. Be safe out there and protect yourself from potential spoilers.

6 days without social media really is not all that bad. Let your friends know you are cutting the cord for a few days as needed.

 

I am very much considering it.

 

NEEEEEEEEEERRRRDDDSS!

 

nooooooooooooo! save the spoilers! save the dream! : D

 

I'm having dreams about going to the cinema to watch the movie but always being unable to watch it due to various circumstances. It is really annoying. I really need to find another franchise to become obsessed with for 2 or 3 weeks.
