Are their only ever 2 Sith at any one time? If it is an ancient order like the Jedi, shouldn't there be more of them?

There were in ancient times. Then Dart Bane set the rule of two to only allow for a master and an apprentice. It allowed for a better concentration of power, as opposed to all of the Sith Lords trying to kill each other all the time.

Got my ticket for an 8pm showing tomorrow. I asked out of curiosity when the theater would open for seating. He didn't know for sure
but he was pretty sure the 7pm showings which were sold out were opening 5 hours early. :shock:

I wasn't going to deal with the hassle of seeing this for a while but the reviews seem too good.

When I checked Rotten Tomatoes this morning, it was at 97%. There were only 3 negative reviews, none from critics I've ever heard of.

Yes, but he puts giardiniera on his shoes.

Already certified fresh. At 94%, but getting rave reviews.

yea I haven't been to a movie theatre in 8 years, but I might have to break that streak for this one.

Any prediction on how long this stays at the IMAX theaters? I'd like to put it off till the last possible moment in order to avoid as much of the crowds as possible.

I'm just going to see it in 2D. Abrams was on Stern and said he didn't really care for 3D movies, so I figure he didn't really do anything special for the 3D version. I figure 2D will be less crowded anyway.

I always found the whole notion of "Sith" stupid. In the original series, there were good Jedi (Obi Wan) and bad jedi (Darth Vader). I never understood why it couldn't continue that way or why Sith had to be introduced at all as another dark-side-of-the-force creature? However, the Emperor character was believable for being the personification of the "dark-side" and Darth Vader's mentor.

NPR guy said it was inconsistent but generally good.

The real reviews will be by the nerds starting today.

I checked this morning and the 8pm showing I am going to this evening is now sold out. I'll definitely try to show up by 7 for a decent seat.
Should be easy to find a seat for one.

That's good to hear. Is all IMAX 3D? I thought IMAX just meant super sized screen?

I liked that.

Harrison Ford was great in that bit. You would think he was really annoyed @ Stephen's antics, as if it weren't a bit.

I also love when he tells JJ, "Say hi to Gary Fisher".

I'm pretty sure when we do the Year End Awards this year that Dignified Rube will be all 5 nominations for worst thought of the year.

Come on man. Just have like one correct thought even by luck.

There is still a few days left for whisky dick to take at least one of those spots.

Going to see this in a bit, I have high hopes. Probably will be a good movie....but will it be a good Star Wars movie?

Time will tell!
