    My meaning is that, from the perspective of most studios, there seems to be a conscious effort to avoid G as it's picked up a bit of a stigma. Notice how all three of your exceptions are established properties with a built-in draw, and thus can overcome that stigma. Even when Monsters University came out this trend was being documented.

    That's fair. I'm not very familiar with Fox anchors because I've been too busy liking real news and being attracted to actual journalism.

    It's probably just an ex-boyfriend of hers sending the threats.

    I'm going to take a leap and speculate that the...two people that made death threats don't have exes. Or currents.

    The Faux Noise reporter seems like a whiny drama queen. I wonder if she got "death threats" out of "Your stereotypes of Star Wars fans might work on a comedy sketch but you're asking to be taken seriously. Which makes you a ****ing idiot."

    I got my tickets two weeks ago. Sitting in the front row. I haven't been this excited for a premiere showing since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.

    I've never been to a midnight premiere before. I don't know what to expect.

    A map of the planets in Episode 7:

    Seems like Starkiller Base is mobile, despite being attached to a snow planet... Like Zonama Sekot in the old EU.

    Also interesting that it comes from near Rakata Prime, meaning the Rakata are probably canon again...

    Very nice, right?

    The Essential Atlas is still my favorite Star Wars book ever. It manages to create a sense of wonder and scale that had been lost for many years. I'm glad they are still kind of updating it, and if there's ever a second edition I'll buy it without remorse.

    The awkward moment when you realize the film actually premiered at 7 PM?

    The only reason flamethrowers exist is because somebody once said "I really want to set that guy over there on fire, but dammit, I'm just not close enough."
