As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Drat. I read the story in the 9th grade and haven't seen the movie since then. I thought it was a good pull.

Apparently Lucas saw it and "really liked it".

Be careful what you read today about Harrison Ford. Apparently, he spilled some big spoiler last night during a chat with fans.

yeeaaaaahh!

We got tickets to the premier through wife's media contacts. It's not in the downtown theater we usually go to, but one out in the burbs. Might be a good thing, actually.

Eh, Harry's just saying that a line he'd heard to speak during a couple seconds of one trailer doesn't mean what you might think it means. Nothing definitive.

People are already putting spoilers in banner ads again, around the internet.

Some sites have in-house ads created by the community for purposes of internal fundraising. These typically aren't on the adblocker lists unless you put them there.

If anyone sees it opening weekend, please IM me and let me know if Chewie dies or not. It's the only spoiler I need.

Eh, I'm still not going in with high expectations. I still think it's a lot of "at least it's not Lucas" sentiment.
