tinyE: I have an actual Star Wars query. XD God forbid!

I'm not putting out a spoiler warning here because I don't think it is a spoiler.

Has Snoke EVER appeared or been mention in anything SW EVER? Books, graphic novels, games, cereal boxes? I was dumbfounded that the grand poobah of evil shows up and I had ever seen him before.
Spoilers abound, but this is a really good read: http://collider.com/star-wars-the-force-awakens-supreme-leader-snoke-theories-andy-serkis/

I don't know but a lot of fans speculate that *snip snippety snip*:
'26 Unanswered Questions of &lsquo;Star Wars: The Force Awakens&rsquo;: We Have the Answers' (<span class="bold">spoilers</span> aplenty!)
(scroll down... not quite there yet... that's it!)

Would you please be so kind as to boogie along with the cool ass pineapple and edit your previous quotes, you know, for the sake of your conscience and the well-being of your donkeys*? :)

*That's not a threat by the way. :D
Donkeys are just known to be hard-core Star Wars-fans.

Oh yeah right. XD No problem. Give me a sec.
I liked this move much more then those disgrace of episode I,II,III.

Still is not on par with episode IV,V,VI

The thing that bother me more is the trend of not making movies anymore, but telenovelas.

Oh so this one didn't have enough Muppets? :P

I kid. I loved Jedi but the fucking cuteness level was pushing it. Maybe if they'd dirtied up the Ewoks a little, made them cannibals or something. :P

Tallima: He was in Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit.
He also played a terrible role in Jersey Shore.

I'm pretty sure theories about him being Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan, Darth Maul, Yoda's father and an unknown third sibling to Luke and Leia are incoming.

The "great" thing is, we only saw a hologram, which might have nothing to do with the actual person at all. You can speculate him to be absolutely anyone or any thing. My first thought, still while watching the movie, was that he's going to turn out to be really small in reality, some muppet 10 cm high. The second was that it's just Ben Kingsley hired by the real bad guy.

Also, isn't it great that they finally perfected the holo-trasmition technology in Star Wars universe? They had to deal with the crappy quality for decades, even on the best Imperial destroyers.

That's too bad, I don't like candy. Should have asked for chocolate instead. Oh well, I'll just gift it around and make myself popular.

Well, I could also send you a can of smelly herring if you prefer that.
Well, after this disgusting spoiler here by the user sambo12345 (may he be engulfed in flames and suffer tremendous agony), I left the thread and watched the movie yesterday since I wasn't inside of a cinema for years anyway.

Since I didn't expect much, I was actually rather positively surprised.
Unlike Episode 1-3, this one is actually a Star Wars movie and not bad.
It's not a good movie by a long shot and still hollywood, but they made it enjoyable enough and the nice but not too silly humour did do a lot of good.

The price was too high for the experience though.
I was happy to be able to see a 2D version of it, but the quality was terrible. The (big and major) theatre didn't seem to check the lense between movies, for it was extremely blurry for a current movie.
The tickets for two people did cost 18,40€, another 1,60€ for a short range tram ticket for my company while I took the bike. Makes 20€ without any food or drinks.

Today, I've seen Interstellar at my home via blu-ray, beamer and Teufel 5.1 sound system with the same person and it was awesome. Now THIS is a science-fiction movie while most others that claim to be are just action movies. I won't talk about specifics since nothing from this movie should be spoiled ever.
I got the Blu-Ray disc for 5€ (in a bundle which was 20€ for four BDs of my own choosing), we cooked a nice meal to go with it made from edamames, spiced and smoked tofu and rice and spent about 8,20€ for a great movie and a meal for two persons. We both agreed, that the picture quality in my home cinema was way better, we were able to choose language and subtitles (went with English audio and English subtitles here as most of the time with English movies) and it was overall more comfortable.

In conclusion:
I'd actually recommend the new Star Wars movie to fans of the old trilogy and will watch the next movies one way or the other (maybe via rented BluRay disc). Needless to say, that I's recommend it to fans of action movies too, but that goes for about anything coming from hollywood, since they mostly cater to those while I'm happy for every second without "action".
To every sci-fi fan I highly recommend Interstellar instead, watch it, it's awesome!
