    Alot of tickets still available in the Wash DC area. Was hoping everything would be sold out.

    Episode 8 will be bolder than TFA. We know that from LK's comments. I think it's a very sensible approach. Consolidate first then push full steam ahead. That said, while there will clearly be plenty of echoes back to the originals, TPTB have stated, on numerous occasions, that it cannot just be a nostalgia trip and that they have tried to honour the past while also taking things forwards.

    The TIME journalist also commented that in the 20 minutes he saw, those echoes felt appropriate and were not tiresome, so fingers crossed they will match their impressive talk so far with the film we end up seeing.

    But for every "ugh, nostalgia" comment, what often strikes me is how the slightest hint of a PT callback gets praised by the detractors. So I'm not sure it's as much an anti-nostalgia thing for some, but an anti-the wrong kind of nostalgia issue. Say... next gen N1s were being used, and D'Qar was Naboo, some of those howling now would be cheering (and vice versa probably).

    Today is the day!!! Well technically tomorrow, but at 7pm it will already be tomorrow lol.

    Lots of griping and whining about the movie and very little hoopla. Nothing on the front page. I'd expect some huge big deal with the movie officially opening tonight. I'd expect a LOT more celebrating and craziness. I mean, this is THE day we've all been waiting 3 years for. And I am shocked that the boards are as easy to get onto right now with so many people already having seen it. What gives? Shouldn't this be crazy time right about now?

    But in addition to less fanfare here than I'd expect, there's not a lot going on in the news that I have at least seen. It's as if just another movie is coming out.
