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.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
