    John Boyega wearing one glove when introduced on stage was interesting. Wonder if he loses a hand to Kylo Ren in that duel.

      Didn’t Michael Jackson have a similar look? Glove covered right hand.

      My first thought was…Boyega must be a Michael Jackson fan.

      I think it is a wink to the only scene we have seen in Luke in the trailers, wearing that globe over R2D2.
      Many people has speculated about the role of Luke in the movie.
      So I guess, it was like confirming that Luke has a role in the movie and all was a trailer-teasers game hidding intentionally Luke.
      Or just continuing playing with us about it!

      Boyega said it was a nod to Luke’s gloved hand in ROTJ. no more, no less. he wanted to do it for the fans

    Hey all. The journey to TFA, the first movie of this new SW ERA, has been so exciting, so magical. It has been a pleasure to share opinions, rumors, news, trailers, with all of you. (And this is just the beginning!)
    A new SW movie is almost here!! Since middle 80’s i have dreamed about new stories after ROTJ. This is so exciting!!
    I think i will pass of internet for three days.
    Hope you enjoy the movie!! Hope you will like it, and love it!!
    We will share our opinions in the next days!!
    Best wishes!!!

      You said it, buddy. I was born in 1977 and I´ve been looking forward ever since. I´ve shed some manly tears, last year, when the first teaser came out and I can´t believe the year has gone by already. I´m so hyped. I´m watching the movie TWICE tomorrow, starting at 10 am! I´m such a nerd, but loving every second of it.

        I was born in 1977 too. 😉 Sharing ages with Star Wars upgrades my nerd level every year.
        Me too. With the first two teasers and of course the first trailer, i shed some tears too. That was a special feeling.
        The best for you tomorrow and all who will see the movie before me 😉 My day is friday.

    You guys should read CNET article to hear Kathleen’s speech. Apparently her step-brother father was the one who pulled young Gearge Lucas from car wreck when he was 20 and she hired a young JJ to restore Steven Spielberg super8 films when he was 20.

      the Spielberg JJ connection has been known for eons. Hollywood is just like the rest of the world, if you know people, you get somewhere. You know why John Lovitz became “famous”? His father was a Hollywood dentist (or dr., I forgot) so he meets people all the time and comes into a favorable position.

    As I will go into my Spoiler-free hybernation, away from the better part of the internet, until the 25th when I will finally be able to see the movie in my country (delayed due to the stupidity of the provider company in contrast to the entire planet) I would like to sincerely and from the bottom of my heart thank all of you, both the site’s owners and moderators as well as the rest of you for everything you have done for us the fans all these hard years without a SW movie. The pain of the absence of the Force in our lifes will soon be lifted and a new era of sci-fi will begin. What a great day and age to be alive and a nerd!

    I will see however the awesome and long- awaited spoiler-free review Collider Jedi Council and I hope you guys over there have loved the movie and can share a final drop of hype with me before I go into the cinema and have my mindhole blown.

    Thank you all

      I’m watching the first showing of the film in my town this Thursday at 7. Sorry you have to wait so long. I’m looking forward to the Jedi Council spoiler free review but I’ve been debating whether or not to watch it since I’m going to be seeing the movie in a 55 hours. If I’m this worried about watching their review aren’t you worried that they might accidentaly give away stuff? I mean how much can you really review the film if you’re trying to not tell a single plot point or detail? I’m hoping they’re going to be as ambiguous as possible. I almost didn’t even want to watch movie talk today because just seeing the emotions on their faces could give something away. Granted I guess it would be nice to at least just know whether or not its a good film, but even if it were bad, I’d rather not know just because then you’re going to have a preconceived notion. And I want to see this film with no expectations or knowledge. Just an eagerness and excitement!
      If you’d do me a favor, do you think if you watch the review… you could post here tonight to say whether or not it gives anything away? I just don’t want to ruin this moment and feeling. But if its them saying how dope and amazing it is without telling a shred of detail then I’d be totally down to watch it because nothing makes me happier than seeing these guys and gals we’ve been following and who we trust to be objective critics in the harshest sense with this franchise we love going batsh*t crazy over this film we’ve been hoping would be amazing!

            Ik ook, fan-fokking-tastisch. M’n vriendin, geen SW fan (nooit een film gezien) was emotioneel ook erg betrokken bij het verhaal. er zat een volwassen man naast haar het laatste uur te snotteren (vanaf het moment dat Leia tevoorschijn komt) en dat werd alleen maar erger natuurlijk. Gejuich, veel gelachen… het was een zeer goede ervaring.

    We already know this film “borrows” the most from past films of any other in the saga which I’m not crazy about but long as they bring the passion back that was sorely missing from the PT than I think most people will forgive the remake status that even JJ admitted it was in the 60 Minutes interview.

      actually, you’re wrong. the first 15 minutes are used, a la ANH to get viewers seated, and after that the movie takes its own course. What we’ve seen and what you’ve heard, even the makingstarwars “script” .. everything seems to be out-of-sync with what the movie really is after reading the first real review (nu.nl 4.5/5, the guy gave TPM a 2/5 way back when.)

    You hate it when I’m right don’t you? JJ Abrams just put his foot in his mouth with his sentiment of anti white hatred. I guess there be low white turn out with low box office. cha-ching$$$$$
    Here’s the quote: JJ.Abram.

    https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/…/10403955…

    Here’s the quote: JJ.Abram

    “You look around that room and you see the whitest (explicative) room in the history of time. It’s just unbelievably white. And I just thought, we’re casting this show and we have an opportunity to do anything we want, why not cast the show with actors of color?”

    Abram’s contempt for Whites is obvious from this quote. We all know how well it would’ve gone over if someone in the industry complained about how BROWN, or especially, how JEWISH a room was. Endless media and ‘Social Justice Warrior’ Marxist crying and whining. Nope, no hypocrisy there!
