A friend of mine was able to go to a Charity event last night for the screening.  He is a fan who was very disappointed with the first 2 movies.  We did not have alot of time to talk but this is what he said. 

Better than New Hope and Jedi.  Could be argued as good as Empire he said.  Very dark and as someone who has kids at 8 and 9 years old he will hold off from showing them this film.  Very violent for a PG13 film.  As most know the violence is from the purging of the Jedi (young and old), Dooku and Anakins fate. 

Tied all films together perfectly.  Will make you understand why the tone of the first 2 films were as they were.  Leads into New Hope perfectly. No questions were left unanswered. It is the longest of the 6 films.  I thought he said it ran 2.5 hours.  I asked if there were any surprises and he said a few (specifically Qui-Gon), although I think we know most of them. 

The bad.  Palpatine.  He said his acting was horrible and got worse as the film went on.  This was the only negative thing he said.  Also, the makeup on Palpatine just did not have the same feel as ROTJ and the appearance almost looks like a different person.

He said the screening was mostly the local press.  The people he talked to were pleasantly surprised and thought the movie was like night and day to the first two. 

Due to the fact that I the closest Target is 1.5+ hours from my home.  Can anyone get me 2 of these?  Only one needs to be mint.  Will be willing to bump up the price a bit for your time and gas. 

Dont have much for trade.  Just a couple holo Yodas and a Blue Saber Palpatine. Thanks!

The old saying "Arent you a little short for a Stormtrooper" has now sprouted a new meaning with: "Arent you a little fat for a Wedge"  If I offended anyone I aplogize.  Just some funnit Chit


This reminds me of a pic I saw a month back.  It was of a guy in a Biker Scout outfit.  The person was like 5' 5" and weighed 250 lbs.  Just wrong man.  Some things just dont look right.  If anyone has seen the pic please post.  Funny stuff.

Is anyone actually saving these still?  I have a buttload and my fear is that if I throw them out, some type of redemption will follow. 

Does anyone know if there are any plans for cases of the new figs besides the Star Case 3?  That is one ugly and oversized case.  Was hoping we would get a case more contour to the fig pack.  Anyone

I find it strange that the new figs are already on the pegs and I have seen no
e-tailer preselling cases Not even EE.  Anyone know why are who mignt be preselling?

I take it that there was no Q&A session at the Toyfair this year?  I was really only curious as to if any solid info has been released on upcoming OT stuff Anyone?
