So, time to stop reading this thread until I see it...

Yep. I'm avoiding spoilers for this one. Normally I don't care, but I want to go into this one not knowing.

Yep. I'm not clicking on any spoilers. I will probably avoid social media, too. I remember being on iFunny (an app that does memes) and seeing a random comment that said "Han dies," which was just before The Force Awakens came out. It was just a totally random comment to a meme that had nothing to do with Star Wars, by someone just wanting to be an asshole.

I think I can safely say that the RLM pre-review thing is just funny, not really spoilery.

Jeez, it's here already? I saw the pre-sale tix but I thought it wasn't coming out for a few more weeks.
Well...it's here already - I don't know about there

Double bill tomorrow night. The Force Awakens at 9 or 10 and then The Last Jedi at 00:05 on Thursday morning. Can't wait. I'm very excited for this one.

Review embargos lifted 30 minutes ago. General impressions are very positive.

I'm going in Saturday night. I'm actually surprised it was still open, even the distant locale I will be visiting.

Going with Daughter #1 Sat afternoon as a birthday gift...meeting wife and daughters #2 & #3 afterwords for dinner / dessert.
Insert witty comment here.

Going to the 7pm showing tomorrow night with my Son-In-Law. The Nerd is strong in this family.

JudgeDredd

We watched Rogue One, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi over the past few days in preparation.

I'd forgotten how low Return of the Jedi had sunk and how much the film stunk imo. I do recall it being my least fav (sorry - not buying teddy bears) - but quite how bad showed up last night. Not quite bad enough to be lumbered with Episodes 1 to 3 - but close.

Thank god the people in charge are starting to churn out good stuff. The Empire Strikes Back was always my favourite.

Jedi has the the awesome space combat that makes me want to bust out Armada every time I see it but the whole Ewok/I'm your sister thing is craptastic.
