It would so suck to be a parent right now and be susceptible to the Christmas onslaught of endless merchandising shit this movie is going to bring.

None of my kids were all that interested in popular crap growing up... of course we used to make them go outside and interact with other kids rather than parking them in front of a TV all day.

It would also suck to have to take your kid to see this garbage.

Shouldn't you be out fighting the savages in your urban jungle? We're trying to get our nerd on in here, you old Honkie!

Geez, what is this? Somebody leave the door open to the Old Coot wing of the mental hospital?? I'm gonna put on my white robe I mean Stormtrooper outfit and run around town!

His kids were out on the riverbank, snorting like pigs.

I know what I'm getting Ford for Christmas!!! Klan Stormtroopers!!!



I guess Ford is right - the Klan really IS everywhere!!

How could Klan stormtroopers ever work for James Earl Jones?

That's a LIE being spread around by the terrorist organization Rebel Lives Matter. We'll take care of them soon enough. Let's see them burn the Imperial Flag when 500,000 of our soldiers resplendent in their white uniforms come marching through their cities!!

That's good. I hate that I know what new characters look like. I heard some places are selling tickets for the movie already. That's a tad insane. I'm sure I will over hear the plot and the ending before ever getting around to see it. That's the price of dodging pandemonium.

Getting my tickets tonight...

I've read too many spoilers already. I said I wasn't going to and I did anyways. Oh well.

The novelizations for the last two came out a week or two before the movies, and I tore through those in an evening. I mean, if you saw TESB, you knew Vader had a robotic hand, so reading that in Attack of the Clones was no big thing. And you'd always heard that Vader was disfigured in lava, so reading that in Revenge of the Sith was no big deal either.

Wow...and you think Savicki's Gem Cutters stuff is werid?

Note that a lot of these new characters have not had a last name revealed yet. There is rampant speculation that "this one" is "that one's" kid. Finn may be someone completely new, speculation is his name is derived from his trooper number, as in FN-something. They still haven't really said who Max Von Sydow or Andy Serkis are playing. You'd assume Serkis did motion capture for a character.

Indeedido!

I was just watching some videos of the new BB-8 by Sphero. That thing is beyond cool!!

It doesn't do a lot of stuff now, but Sphero says they will be adding features after the movie comes out.

There's also a BB-8 builder's club already, make your own full-size version.

I always wanted a full size R2 but they're just so damn expensive to build. But a full size bb-8 would be awesome! I'd take it to Walmart with me!!

Put a "socket" in the trunk lid of your Eclipse and drive around with it!

Ah hell, their website ain't open yet. I can't learn nothing on twatter!
