sorry y'all. I was just trying to give an honest opinion about how good this movie is, without giving anything away.

The new hope I was referring to is, of course, Episode 4: A New Hope.

I must add that the last shot of the film is quite moving.

Actually, I heard about that b/c I was thinking of buying the soundtrack when I looked at the list of songs. The last song is Padme's Destiny & A New Hope.
I love Star Wars!

I can't wait another 21+ hours until we (meaning rugrats and I) get to see this film!

8 hours 33 minutes and counting

AOIIalum - Did you read the Parent's Guide ? I'm just a little "worried" b/c I saw this A&E special about home rentals and make movies "family appropriate" we are talking R to G/PG, one women walked out of the film with her 10 yo b/c it was bit to racy for her and it was PG-13 (I thought to myself....did you see the rating? -- sorry end rant)

oh man I couldn't resist some of the highlight, damn the ctrl-A, I didn't read detail, but I so didn't need to see some of that

Admit it people. How many of you are going dressed up in costume?

I just went to pick up my tickets & saw the massive line already outside. The theater was nice enough to put out chairs & tables for the losers...I mean hardcore fans waiting hours. Seriously though, while I picked them up, I saw 1 Darth Vader, 3 Stormtroopers, & I Princess Leia.

I will be a geek enough to admit that I've thought about costumes, but not for the movie...for the celebrations/conventions

But then I think....am I that hardcore? and the answer is always no

Wow.

Great. Tied strings up, Episode IV starts right out of the ending. I loved it.

oh my that was so good.

b/c I was up so late, I do admit that my eyes were drooping a bit, but had nothing to do with the movie.

I am so glad that I didn't read any spoilers and the few that I mistakenly read earlier today did not ruin it for me.

I will be seeing it again at least 2 more times in the next few days to digest it...but WOW

I do have one nitpick, but I can get over that......

WOW

Run, don't walk to see this movie

I haven't read it, but rugrat #3 is hanging out at a friend's house instead of going with us to this one. Everything I have read says that the PG-13 should be taken seriously for Sith, so he'll have to wait until I see it and make final judgement. Of course, older brothers are almost 13 & 15 respectively, so they're ready to go

8 hours and 12 minutes!!!!!!

No costumes here, but I do have the Millenium Falcon BK toy on my desk at work. If that makes me a loser--I prefer nerd--I don't care today I've waited almost 28 years for this movie, and Lucas darned well better not let me down.

8 hours and 5 minutes now!

I will be seeing it at 10 am this morning. Only 3 1/2 hours left & I'm seriously jealous of those of you who have seen it.

EEEEEEEEEK!
