Shatner's response to Porgs.

He's tribbling down his chin...........

[garhkal]

So what animals were used for 'kiddy friendly marketing in the other films?

ANH, i don't remember seeing anything that would come close.
ESB. Same unless you consider brainless monsters like the Taunton or wampa.
ROTJ.. WE had the cannibalistic ewoks who were gonna EAT our heroes..
TPM. Jar-jar.. BUT he's not an animal..
ATOC. None here i can think of.
ROTS. Again none here i can think of.
TFA. BB-8 though he's a droid not an animal.
Rogue one. Again, none i can think of..

Shatner's response to Porgs.

Dear lord, the puns in those replies are pure gold! Shatner's tweets are Locutus, and Tribble.

If Disney is good at anything, it's promoting its products.

Tickets booked for Friday

[LtColCarter]

Got my tickets for Saturday. I would go Friday at midnight, but I have work the next day and my kid has school. So, that will be a no go. Plus, a Saturday afternoon should be more relaxed.

[Annoyed]

I'll wait till next week when I'm off work Thurs/Fri. An afternoon on a workday shouldn't be too crowded. =)

[Princess Awinita]

Was gonna get tickets for tonight at midnight, hopefully they still had some, but nope; I miss out for the FIRST TIME since th eprequel trilogy on seeing the midnight viewing on day one, ah well, cant win them all

[LtColCarter]

I was watching the news this morning, and people who saw the premier last night were being interviewed. A couple of them dubbed it "worse that the prequel trilogy." However, most felt it was pretty good, and quite a few bought another ticket for today or Saturday so they could see it again.

I just want Saturday to get here...so I can see it!

[aretood2]

Oh man. It's that time again where I must avoid this part of the forum The wait begins until I get to watch the movie

[P-90_177]

Saw it today. Personally it is second only to Empire Strikes Back in my books. It was an incredible experience that kept me grinning ear to ear for the whole thing. Great new characters, amazing old characters and the Story of Rey and Kylo Ren has been taken to the next step in a way that is quite unique compared to the other films.
First Star Wars film, other than maybe Rogue One that I have been so enthused by.

Well I enjoyed it. It had 3 or 4 gigantic, glaring problems, but I thought it was a good contribution to this universe.
