Episode 7 - The Force Awakens - will be published in December of this year. (Yep, I know, that will give me the Rick Olie award, but I can't find a better beginning for this thread... ) I know that several FanForce groups are planing meetings for this event already and it's a lot of fun to spend time with fellow SW fans. I attented to quite some in the past! So my advice to all new and old members is: Join those meetings and have a good time watching The Force Awakens with other Star Wars fans! You won't get the chance again until Ep8. Since it's not always easy to find the appropriated meeting threads, I like to create a list of them here. This way you can find one at your place fast. But I need YOUR help. If you find a thread about meeting up for Ep7, which isn't listed in here, please, post it here or send me a PM. I'll add it! Thanks for your help and have lots of fun waiting for The Force Awakens, the meetings and everything!

The Rocky Mountain Fan Force will definitely be taking over a theater in Denver somewhere. As soon as I have details either I or our CR, he-guy will post them. Exciting times to be a SW fan!
I am in the UK and have added a message to the UK FanForce and message trail in WNU which Skiara kindly set up. Would be great to generate interest in meet-ups for fans all over the world. The Rocky Mountain Fan Force sounds fun but unfortunately I doubt I would be able to afford the air fare/accommodation to Denver especially as I already have 3 holidays booked for this year.....
Chattooine (Chattanooga's FanForce) will be at Carmike East Ridge on opening day at at least the day after. There will be costuming by a lot of us, a costume contest for others that show up, trivia, and probably some other stuff once we get it worked out. I'll be making occasional posts about it in our section of the forum as details become more clear.
Here's the thread for Chattanooga, TN: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/2015-12-17-star-wars-episode-vii.50027215/
