I know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy of significance who went to the screening last night and he gave me the details. WARNING, DO NOT CLICK THIS IS A TRUE SPOILER TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE. I'M WARNING YOU, DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS MOVIE SPOILED FOR YOU BIG TIME!!! Spoiler Kylo Ren is Han Solo and Leia's son -They send him off to go train with luke, turns out the kid is crazy, joins the Brotherhood of Ren, they are Sith Neo Nazi's pretty much -The dumb light saber that he has belongs to some ancient sith lord, its an artifact -Girl is Kylo's sister/ also Han's kid
Embed that in three or four layers of spoiler tags. That's a big one. Not kidding. I'll use the safe word...Omaha. Serious spoilage here. Spoiler The spoiler below will have discussion pertaining to the above spoiler Do not click. It will contain possible spoilers. Spoiler Double spoilered for your protection. Spoiler It seems like the Kylo/Rey storyline is loosely based on the Jaina and Jacen Solo storyline. At least the part that you spoilered. I'm sure there is much more to this, but maybe the EU is more canon than Disney is letting on.

I can't believe it's only Wednesday. I'm watching it on Friday at 8. I'm so tempted to read the spoilers above but I must resist.
I'm not seeing it until Monday night. Theater was already half full when I preordered the tickets yesterday too. This wait is gonna suck.
I clicked on one of the "Rotten" reviews, then checked the guy's other reviews. He pretty much gave a C- to everything that smacked of superheroes or science fiction (including "The Dark Knight Returns"), so.... My wife and I have tickets for tomorrow at 7:00 pm but since I'm not sitting in a tent right now in front of the theater, typing this from my phone, our seats might just suck boo-tay. (Not that there's anything wrong with sucking boo-tay, depending on the context....) Ah, but see, we will finish the movie about....9:30? Get home in time to catch some of the disaster that this Rockets season has become.
I might actually have to avoid the entire internet until Sunday. One thing for sure, I'm not reading my Facebook news feed until then.
Saturday afternoon for me. Silverado IMAX in Tomball. I love that place. The anticipation is bringing out my inner 7 year old kid. It's cool to me that my kids will be as much into Star Wars as I was back in the 80's.
