Video from the Red Carpet Premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
Well folks, as you know The Force Awakens premiered last night in Los Angeles to an undoubtedly overwhelmed crowd of viewers. Now Flicks And The City got the video of the red carpet and the full cast introduction for your viewing pleasure after the jump.
So here it is…the week we’ve all been waiting for! In the cast introduction by the leaders of this project, George Lucas was thanked with the warmest of praise that the father of the StarWars Universe deserved…see it now.
I thought Oscar was gonna boot BB-8 off the stage ha ha!
John Boyega wearing one glove when introduced on stage was interesting. Wonder if he loses a hand to Kylo Ren in that duel.
Lolz, please no more hands/arms being lost. It’s becoming too cliche…
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.
May the Force be with you!
Where are you from?
Province of Barcelona, Catalonia.
Where are you from, when TFA starts tomorrow? 😉
Los Países Bajos! 🙂
Yes! May the Force be with you.
I was reading some twitter reaction from celebrities. Take it as a Grain of salt for sure, but seems 100% positive. Patton Oswalt really liked it
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/early-reactions-star-wars-force-awakens-153322763.html
Patton Oswalt also called Gregg “Opie” Hughes a good radio host last week, guy has lost his marbles
I know a lot of people that like Opie. I don’t really get it.
Celebrities may have liked it, but I’m not very optimistic based on the leaks from the premiere so far. Some of my greatest fears may actually turn out to be true.
what leaks? please enlighten me. introduce me to the dark side.
There are leaks online everywhere, but it’s impossible to tell if they are legit or not. That is all I can say.
theres a guy on reddit who attended premier and posted a rather mediocre/negative review and then he was answering some questions from other users. he is legit, posted a pic of pass and shit
Meh what a bummer and I have three tickets already for myself. Then again Kristian Harlow liked it and I like him so there’s that. I’ll be seeing the movie in 12 hours and make my own decision… And either cringe or rejoice during the following screenings.
What’s funny is if there are 50 good reviews and one or two bad reviews, some of you people will trust the bad reviews.
“Some guy from somewhere said it was crap” yeah must be true, somehow he must of avoided the confidentiality agreements too ….
There are a lot of people that just want attention. Nobody wants this movie to suck, and the dumb asses know that. So what better way than to start a shit storm saying its garbage.
“Some guy from somewhere said it was crap” yeah must be true, somehow he must of avoided the confidentiality agreements too as he was so god damn clever as well, stop being such a sucker
Dang I can’t find any granted I only want to know if snoke is plagueis
As far as I understood…. N
Ugh. So it’s settled; “Snoke” is Snoke then. That’s a pretty unfortunate choice of names.
He looks sort of like the original chimp eyes Emperor.
I know the answer to that…
Sounds like you need to get out and get a life. No offense, of course.
Patton Oswalt immediately saw through Phantom Menace when it originally premiered while everyone else praised it. so, for him to praise this one on first sight gives me great hope!
There are some real reviews out there- from those other than celebrities- not so glowing.
such as ?
Someone who claims to have attended the premier (he posted a photo of his guest pass along with his user name as proof) is answering questions and giving his opinion of the movie on Reddit.
There a lot of photos of people’s passes bro.
i found them… other people have found them… you can find them too…
Cause only the bad reviews count.
as opposed to the only good ones by celebrities who don’t want to upset a filmmaker who may hire them? Its moot now anyways-
Most of those listed on twitter last night I would not call celebs.
LANDO IN EP. VIII OR GTFO! Billy Dee! Billy Dee! Billy Dee!
Maybe you don’t have to wait until Episode VIII to see Lando.
Exactly, he’s in Rebels…and has a comic…
and maybe, I’m just saying maybe, he’s in a certain new SW movie.
I’ll find that out when I see it thursday… 🙂
Me too, twice.
no lando is not in the new film, hes olny connection to the finn is landos son
But he wasn’t at the premiere? Balls to that, I say…
Yes he was, with his daughter and grandson.
Though I knew this stuff already, I still thought this was a good article with cool stories from Kennedy and Abrams.
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/15/kathleen-kennedys-emotional-speech-star-wars-force-awakens-premiere?hootPostID=9956eef7ba12eb30bb86a705a8e739fb
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
May the Force be with you
May the force be with you! it’s really too bad, the whole thing about the Greek distributor.
wow, sorry about that opiniongiver guy. I asked him not to reply to me anymore as he is unstable. Best wishes with enjoying the movie!
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!
I will post about the spoilericity of the Council right here in this comment section. Be on alert! 😀
Ok so now we wait more.
until tomorrow morning 10am! 😀
your username suggest that you are in Europe, but your time for your opening says asia.. which is it?
10am, Rotterdam! 😉
ja toch! (also 10am, but I’m in Taipei, so 3am for you :))
Net gezien, twee keer! Mindblowing. Ik ben onder de indruk!
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.
Super! Ik keek ook met iemand die nog niet echt bekend was met de SW universe. Zij zat ook ademloos te kijken. Ik ga binnenkort nog een keer, denk ik. Maar wat moeten we nu doen tot 2018? 😐
rogue one.. en veel boeken denk ik.
review op nu.nl stelt me ERG gerust.
Nog niet gelezen, maar ik zit nu in de bioscoop. Nog een kwartier! 😀
Man…I think I’d go crazy with all those photographers YELLING at me! That’s fame for ya, right?
Yea that was crazy!

I like this group of people a lot – they are so positive which is so rare nowadays. I really wish them only the best, even beyond this movie.
Daisy looked irritated and tired…
I just love how half of the people here already said that this movie is shit just because one guy on reddit said he didn’t like it. And perhaps just perhaps this guy was on actual screening. Moreover i don’t seem to find anywhere these terrible reviews which force awakens received.
I don’t think I’d be able to emotionally bear that many people telling me where to look all at once lol.
might be the most unenthusiastic thumbs up ever. lol. still, i’m glad he showed up last night, couldn’t have been easy.
Most of the movies critics like suck and are a waste of money wait till “Real people ” see
I read the first real review and the reviewer gave it a 4.5/5 – minus points for daisy (overacting) and domhall (straight out of starship troopers) he gave tpm a 2/5 way back when calling it a glorified screensaver.
Just saying
Does han die too or just chewie?
Chewie
Seriously? NO SPOILERS.
I don’t know who dies I have not seen the movie jeez
Chewie is alive and well
Stop spoiling stuff.
He does not die how would I don’t see it till tomorrow
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.)
So there is no…
Starkiller Base?
Desert Planet?
X-Wings and TIE’s fighting over a trench?
Jedi Master in hiding?
Weird alien sequence?
Hidden plans inside BB-8?
Passing on of a Skywalker lightsaber?
I trust TOS far more than some blogger looking for hits, Thank you very much!
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!

I pity you
“I pity the fool” would be better and more ironic, considering his racial standpoint
Yes!!!
You need help!
