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.

    • You can hear the Brockwell one really loudly in the Dulwich Park area already - and this is before the volume ramps for the headliners. A friend of ours lives much closer to Brockwell Park and says the noise there is unbearable. It seems like this weekend at least Dulwich is at the epi-centre of battling sound systems - like that awful spot in a festival field where you are getting the reverb from one stage interfering with the sound from the one you are trying to watch!
    • I agree Peckham Rose and this extra freebie day does not make up for the event's disruption and imposition onto more and more of the park. Now they have significantly enlarged the footprint of the event space it really dominates and changes the character of the park.   I personally do not mind the music aspect, but do not live right beside it so very easy for me to say and agree that in every way this event should be moved to a suitable site, which this small London Park is not. The amount of barriers they have installed is just crazy and the signage expressing sudden concern about nesting birds cravenly hypocritical considering the barrage of sound, low bass and light pollution they will be exposing them to.        
    • Well aren't you the lucky one.  Stick around!
    • Well I am outside the Clockhouse pub and you can barely hear anything.
