We?re witnessing the perfect PR storm here, fuelled largely by swarms of nostalgia-riddled middle-agers quietly panicking about the onset of their own mortality - and labouring under the delusion that wetting themselves about Star Wars will somehow slow their inexorable slide into the grave.

*Bob*'s got me sussed, no doubt I'll be sitting next to him, quietly weeping into a large glass of Picpoul De Pinet and shall reflect on my sad, sorry life since I saw the first film (not episode) all those years ago. The wasted years when I could have been an East Dulwich Jedi warrior just like *Bob* fighting the pretension and middle class angst of this corner of south London. It's a children's film get over yourself.

I like the original three films (including all the performances) as they were hoky old shit with lots of shiny bells and whistles. The other films took themselves too seriously - like the Bond films do now too. Will happily watch the new one but probably only when it comes out on dvd.

I have pre-booked tickets for Thursday Night 9pm ...Child of 1970...


I remember going to see them all at the pictures (first three that is) before you could book tickets and the performance sold out so you had to wait around for two hours before the next showing...


very much looking forward to this

I like that Seabag.


If this Star Wars is as shit as the first one it will make a lot of people happy I guess.


I'm hoping it's completely different, so that the 48 year old Mick likes it more than the 10 year old kid in me was confused by the original. I really want to like it and will see it out of blind curiosity, with 6 year old child in tow, an imaginative boy by his father's standards.

    • Sovereign state on their own ancestral homeland. 
    • How will you vote at the Spring Conference when they put forward their motion that it is "racism" for Jews to want to live in a sovereign state on their own ancestral homeland?
    • I'm sure one can always find things which a party or an individual within it could have done better or shouldn't have said. If one was going to use those things as a reason not to support the party, one would never support any party, and would never vote. So far as I am concerned, the Greens represent my views on most issues better than any other party that I am currently aware of. I really am not interested in dissecting the details of one or two specific instances,  for many reasons, not least that I have no direct knowledge of them and don't know what may be a reliable source.
    • Was it the promise to act as a "strong voice" for Muslims that sealed the deal? The Green Party hired Abi Wilkinson from the Sultana wing of Your Party just before the Manchester by-election. She's on record as denying sexual violence during the 7 October 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas, which is not true. I wonder if she was also responsible for the dodgy text of the Urdu and Bengali comms the Green Party pumped out in the last days of the campaign? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_in_the_October_7_attacks https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/1rhrd36/fury_as_green_party_spin_doctor_denies_women_were/
