    How did Darth Vader know what Luke was getting for Xmas?

    Because he felt his presents.

    The old ones are the best.

    So just seen it... Hubble got annoyed as I kept asking questions like.... when did all the Jedi die (except Luke).....He said that was episode 6....
    ...if they are all dead, why are they all using lightsabers (apparently you don't need to be a Jedi to have one....when did that rule come in?)
    In the whole Star Wars universe, why is everyone who is someone in this film related to someone else
    Who is the supreme master, and who is he related to
    Why do half the scenes look like they are digital remasters of the same scenes in episode 4.
    How can a plumber manage to blow up the killer star, which is a just a pumped up death star....as Stan says terribly easy to blow up....must be caused by sucking in the whole energy of a Sun...

    Hubbie thought it was brilliant, I thought it was illogical and tedious.

    But the Gourmet Burger afterwards was great.

    It's an incest movie? That adds a whole new level to the banality.

    See you at the Huddersfield game Beth, I hope I got the right seat row S 152.

    I'm glad that one half of Mr & Mrs Beth enjoyed it. You should thank your lucky stars, Mrs Nines randomly piped up that she would like to go to this ...

    I think she was rather taken aback by my response, but laughed when I said she better find herself another carol singing loving effing husband then. We should be on gogglebox she chuckled. I chuckled along with her but didn't have a clue what she was on about.

    I am still annoyed by Star Wars
    The money and marketing around it is insane .... Bottled water FFS

    I was walking through Olargues just 8 days ago and came across a poster in French saying that Stars Wars will be shown in the next village up the valley soon. No hype just a line to say it's a film set in the future about space things. The same with Bond currently on which was described as a fantasy plot

    Are we at the end of it all
    Have the general public had enough
    Will films go straight to the Internet?

    Saying that i am looking forward to another Bourne Film

    Took the children to see it yesterday, thought it was decent enough. Grew up watching the films and enjoyed this one, especially Rey :)

    I think some are being massively over critical, well there's a surprise with what's said about our players sometimes, it was what it is a Sci-Fi adventure nothing more, nothing less. For me escapism especially needed at this time of year because the bloody Christians wanted to crush the rise of paganism by hijacking a festival and making it a big deal

    I'm still confused as to why you'd take a space telescope to see a film. Having to wear 3D glasses is bad enough for me..

    Bourne Free was disappointing.

    Enjoyed it but just thought was a re run of the 1977 original. Obv a chance to start run the series again for the buck.

    Just don't get the hype and never have done

    My son loved the original films and would watch them over and over again. But then he was 8

    I really find adults wanting to dress up as characters from the films (Star Wars or anything else for that matter) and attending conventions slightly weird, but then I don't wear a replica Rs shirt either

    I went to the Tower of London recently and there was a guy dressed as a Jedi, hanging around with his normally dressed buddies. I didn't get the impression it was a dare.
