Ya, what a low blow from one Star Wars fan to another. I quit the internet for 3 days until I saw it. Silent awe indeed.

Fantastic film, though! Loved every minute of it. My inbox is also open if anyone wants to chat about it. I also spotted a Saber Forge customer in line with some friends, with an awesome Jedi costume. He had an older design of the Reliant. First time for me seeing one of the sabers up close, so that was a treat.

One thing does strike me. How sad is it that America is supposedly the land of the free yet we can't take prop light sabers to many major movie chains. Meanwhile Paris where they just had a massive terrorist attack and most other countries around the world are allowing them with open arms.  I was just looking at a story about the box office numbers from yesterday and it showed fans all over the world with their lightsabers and here I was at a showing yesterday with a bunch of disarmed Jedi. All I know is that when my sabers get here I am going in full regalia to Alamo Drafthouse in Denver, where they take precautions but don't give into fear. |

I have my doubts that every theater outside the U.S. was that open minded. The theater I was in didn't even have a problem with prop blasters or full masks. But naturally, we aren't going to be seeing many pictures of those theaters that weren't allowing things, so it may not be the most accurate representation. Still, you're right, it's very sad that we have to face these restrictions at all. |

I did not mean to imply that this was in every case, here or overseas (Hence why I called out Alamo Drafthouse as one place without restrictions)--not being overseas I can't speak for Every location around the world but most all of the pics I have seen in movie houses so far have had sabers featured. I tend to try and avoid blanket statements as they are almost never true (I'm human a fail at that all the time) That was my poor wording on my part, for not hedging the latter part of that post as I did the former part.

Still, you're right, it's very sad that we have to face these restrictions at all. All I was pointing out is that the restrictions are silly, IMO. And that America of all places should not be the place giving in to fear, we talk a great game a lot but all too often fall short of our noble ideas (human again after all). Blasters I could understand and if they could show me one documented case of a death form a prop light saber then I'd might--maybe--understand. My point is that when it comes to prop sabers it is hysteria, in my own personal opinion. Some may disagree and to paraphrase Voltaire I will defend to the death their right to do so. |

I watched it. It has the right feel to it considering new characters and new story need to make way. The original characters are perfectly slotted into the story. I can look forward to watching it in the movie theater again and again like a true fan!

The wait to see it until Dec. 26th is going to kill me but I promised my fiancée and our 2 sons that I'd wait until we were all together to go. My brother saw it today and is already chomping at the bit to talk about it but from everything I've heard it's amazing. So, so happy to hear that it's living up to what anyone would agree were probably unrealistic expectations.
As someone that's earliest memory of Star Wars was going to see it when it was first released at the Drive-In theater at age 4, it's a great feeling to know that my 7 year-old son will grow up with a new generation of fan worthy Star Wars characters. He is sooooo excited to get his SaberForge Champion Tier Weathered Fury saber for Christmas! |

I've got a very bad feeling about this...

This is the Star Wars you have always known, but never seen before!
Saw it last night, and going again to see it in 3D tomorrow! |

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

You broke my will Brax...just bought tickets for the fiancée and I to go see it tomorrow (I swear, the tequila had no part in the decision).
This is the same fiancée that when I bought my son's saber convinced me to get one so he would have someone to spar with. She is also the same one that when I considered changing my order from the Hero Tier Vengeance to a Monarch told me to just get both. I guess enablers aren't always a bad thing...right? |

When they enable things like addiction, or abuse, its a bad thing. When they enable light saber appreciation and collection, it is an extremely GOOD thing!
