So they've announced the official release date of Star Wars VII.

Two more years... not sure I can wait that long!

Kylo Ren is prob now the most hated character in the SW universe. ...for very different reasons than Jar Jar.

poe is jar jar's father

but who is "sister ?" to jar jar

Just got home - super fun and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.  Was cool seeing the Lego sets come to life on the screen....

So I just watched that movie and have been boycotting this thread , is it still a "discussion" or discussion ? 

It was amazing. I had high expectations and I thought it was just perfect. The super-hardcore fan fiction types will complain about some things, but JJ absolutely nailed it IMO. 

A Lego question for those who have seen it.

Spoiler

where the heck was the snowspeeder? Did I miss some ground battle or something? That was the only set that didn't really seem to make an appearance.

 

Answer : no 

Haha, that's what I thought. Other funny Lego notes:

Spoiler

So, they clearly only had a few production stills to work off of? The Kylo Ren ship can't angle the wings like the movie right? I also love that the one pirate dude comes with the Millennium Falcon set when he's in the movie for like 2 seconds. 

 

^lol

agreed

and by the way first thing I wanted to own that I did not out of the movie was Kylo's Command Shuttle Lego version

It is excellent flaws or not it is a must have to me

I feel like I can safely wander back in here, after being absent for awhile.

I won't spoil plot, but I will give my opinion...

Spoiler

Wow.  Excellent film.  Pitch perfect.  That was a Star Wars film.  I will be seeing it a few more times.

 

Regarding LEGO sets:

Spoiler

I still feel the same as I did before - I'm underwhelmed with the LEGO sets we've got.  MF - sure, why not.  I did like Rey's ship.  But everything else is a miss for me.  Kylo Ren's shuttle needed to be done, but they screwed that one up.

I'd prefer to have a blue X-wing, and Poe's black one (but I get it).

I guess we know why R2-D2 got discontinued, lol.

I'd love to see a BB-8, though.  I'd buy the heck out of that one.

I think on this particular set of sets I know which part of the graphic you are

lol

 

 

I can safely say that this is the best SW movies ever. JJ stood on the shoulders of giant (George Lucas) and made the SW franchise even better. I like it that the storm troopers are humanized as we can feel their fear and anger. The new key actors are very good at expressing the emotions, and the lines are well written.

This new movie has also addressed questions about why have another death star like weapon, and how such a huge weapon is powered. Although all are science fiction, but at least this new movie ties the logical loose ends better.

Care to expand on that R2 comment  for those of us who have no interest in seeing the film? Perhaps by PM if it´s only me!

The movie just made me smile. The kinda smile you make when something really impresses a person and you just have to give props and say..."That's goooood." I loved the old school feel and sound.s. Everything seemed real., from the way the guns fire to the beat up look of all the ships. They reminded me of some WWII bombers and fighters.

Kylo Ren's shuttle was awesome and the LEGO set doesn't really portray it well in my opinion. From a LEGO standpoint, there wasn't a lot of new or memorable vehicles to work with, but that is not a knock on the movie, just disappointing from a new set perspective.

Kylo Wren's shuttle was awesome and the LEGO set doesn't really portray it well in my opinion. From a LEGO standpoint, there wasn't al p

Wow what a typo ! lol

Kylo Wren = Kylo Ren

I agree the lego shuttle is not the best but after seeing the one in the movie it makes me want to run right home crack one open and build it and pull out the Kylo Ren Minifigure

It also makes me want to own the Kylo Ren buildable set as soon as possible

Auto correct and I hit reply by accident. It's 3 in the morning. LOL. I also loved the dialogue in the movie. A lot of references to the old movies. Great stuff.

you get a pass

watching episode V late night after episode VII

watching episode VII tomorrow night in 3D

will be able to comment on 2D vs 3D of VII soon looking forward to seeing it from a different method

I guess the UCS Snowspeeder will be the Hoth version.

Hopefully there will be a spike in sales of 70104 now as there are a glut of them out there not moving. I guess it is a candidate for a future UCS ship too.

I'll answer it behind a spoiler tag:

Spoiler

R2 has been in low power for years.  Basically just standing there.  His has very little screen time, maybe 2-3 minutes, if that.

 

The problem with spoiler tags is they don't hide on phone app. Urgh

So to the guys who have seen it are we talking good film or classic?
