Of course then the final movie did have a lot of annoying kid appeal with young Anakin and Jar Jar. To add insult to injury Darth Maul, the face of advertising for the movie, was only there for like 10 minutes before he got cut in half. The only good stuff in TPM was either hardly there or dies before the credits roll which cuts them out of future films (Liam Neeson as Qui Gon Jinn and Darth Maul). I've said it before but there was honestly NO reason to have a character like Jar Jar to bring in kid appeal since Star Wars was already hugely popular with everyone who saw the originals and since most of them were parents when TPM came out they would've taken their kids to see it anyway. I was young when TPM came out and I sure as hell didn't need a cartoony frog/duck man to draw me in to see it.

Also, like I've said before if The Force Awakens turns out to be not-so-good then the two 'J's in J.J. Abrams name will forever more stand for Jar Jar.

I'm sure this movie's opening night will be insane with the lines of people, and probably still packed the next week or so too. That's why I always wait to see a movie in theaters, way less hassle and way less people. It worked so great when I went to see Guardian of the Galaxy that I was the only person in the theater.

I do the same for most movies. Last packed movie I went to had a kid crying and another begging to go home.

Is it just me or in the new trailer when Kylo attacks Finn does he sorta look like Jon Snow? Maybe it's the medium length black hair. all black clothes, and medieval style of his saber. That or I am way too into GoT and assume that anyone wearing black with a sword in the snow looks like a GoT character.

What movie was this?!
When I went to see Ant-Man there wasn't much of a crowd but since they cut out the late showings there was a kid there who kept asking questions until about 20 minutes into the film when their dad acted like a responsible parent and told them to sit down and be quiet.
