Who's seeing it on thursday?

I got my tickets for the 12am(thursday) premier.

I'm pumped in a unusual nerdy kind of way.

My company is providing a private showing at 9am on Thursday for our business unit. (Handheld products group at ATI.)

reviews have been pretty good.

I'm looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.

I look forward to seeing a new Star Wars movie.

I dread the thought that it's the last one, and that it will likely be depressing, unless of course you're rooting for Vader. Even though we all know what the end result of this movie will bring, it's still going to be a bit sad seeing all of the Jedi being wiped out and the bad guys winning.

It's supposed to be pretty much action filled through the whole movie. I'll be seeing it either Saturday or Sunday afternoon, can't wait.

cry, then punch things, then cry some more, and then take a nap.

Going to the 6pm Thursday showing at the Ziegfeld with my father, then coming back that night for the 1:30 am show with some compatriots.

I ordered tickets through Fandango.com this afternoon and picked them up after work. I can't wait until 7:30pm on Thursday. I'm taking my father to see the final Star Wars 28 years after going to the orginal together when I was 7 years old.

I was planning to see it after the weekend to avoid the rush but I dont think I can resist. HOw is fandango like? You buy tickets online and then pick them up at the theater or just print them out at home?

I am thinking about going Friday afternoon. The kids out of school yet?

maddoc1979 · Post by **maddoc1979** » Wed May 18, 2005 2:05 pm

I'm seeing it tomorrow, but I'm driving cross-town to see it digitally. There's only 1 digital theater in the Twin Cities so I'm making the trek.

I think certain theaters handle it different ways. I ordered the tickets online and went to the theater that night and picked them up. All I needed to do was show them the credit card the tickets were ordered with. BTW, this was the first time I've used Fandango and it worked well for me since I am guaranteed a seat and don't have to wait on any lines tomorrow night.

Slumberland · Post by **Slumberland** » Wed May 18, 2005 5:46 pm

Even though I've got my tickets already, I've still got to wait in a long ass line tomorrow to get decent seats. Should be sort of a festival atmosphere at the Ziegfeld, though. Who knows, maybe Triumph will show up!

Inuyasha · Post by **Inuyasha** » Wed May 18, 2005 5:55 pm

thats the thing I am worried about, lines. Even if I buy the tickets online, there will probably be lines just to get into the theater. I really hate lines. It's only going to be myself seeing the movie too. I have no intention of starting up a Star Wars conversation with the guy behind me dressed up like Vader .

My wife just picked me up a ticket for the 6:30 show tonight. I'm psyched!

Inuyasha · Post by **Inuyasha** » Thu May 19, 2005 1:50 pm

Me and another guy are the only ones in the office today. Everyone else took the day off.

Naples39 · Post by **Naples39** » Thu May 19, 2005 1:54 pm

Definitely worth the trip. The action wasn't quite as spectacular as I might have hoped, but the dialogue was a bit better than expected and easily the best of the new films. I also liked the nonstop pace of this movie, and seeing all the loose ends tied up at the end was surprisingly satisfying, and really gave me a great sense of closure to the movies. Lucas even tied up one thing from the old movies I didn't suspect...

Waddupcouzin · Post by **Waddupcouzin** » Thu May 19, 2005 2:22 pm

excellent pacing to the movie. Easily, the best star wars movie put out yet! If only Lucas could have made the last two movies (1 & 2) like Episode 3.

Whoa... that's a bit much in my opinion. Ep. III was definitely good, but Empire Strikes Back is the best movie if you ask me.

First of all thanks everyone for not posting spoilers in this thread. One questions, is it good enough that you would pay to see it again?
