Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[Catwoman]

With a series of prequel Han Solo films coming up, why not?

Love it!

Who's the girl on Han's arm though?

[The Joker]

Too true,

But I like Han mostly because I liked his dynamic with Luke, Leia, Lando, the droids, Jabba, and of course Chewie, I wonder how can they make a "prequel" and still make fans content. 

I like Han's dynamic with Luke, the droids, and especially Leia as well, but with a Han prequel trilogy set before Episode IV, we'll just have to settle for seeing how he met Lando for the first time (eventually winning Millennium Falcon away from him), forming a close bond and becoming great buds with Chewie, in addition to getting involved in owing debts to Jabba and subsequently getting acquainted with bounty hunters. Ideally, could be alot of fun.

Love it!

Who's the girl on Han's arm though?

I assume just another 'girlfriend' of Han's prior to meeting Leia for the first time. Doesn't look like "Jenny", but Han probably had a number of brief girlfriends prior to Leia anyways.

I'm hoping for the best, and yes, it could be a lot of fun. Han is a cool character and the pre-episode IV world is still a good place for him, especially with Chewie and Lando and with potential love interests, as the pic suggests.

Is the premiere tonight?

So people will finally get a chance to see the new movie in a few hours!

There may be an embargo on the critics but I'm sure there will be a lot of advance feedback on Twitter.

I'll see The Force Awakens on Dec 18, 2015.

Who's the blonde on Han's arm, Edd?

Is it wrong that I prefer her to Leia? 

[Edd Grayson]

I don't know who that is,  but I'd sure want to find out. Let no one judge you on this, my nickel's worth of free advice.

And I love both Leia and Padme'

Apparently the word on last night's premiere is resoundingly positive.    And some people are already predicting a possible Best Picture Oscar nomination.

I know not everyone has faith in the Academy, and neither should they necessarily, but the fact that Oscar is being talked of in the same breath as The Force Awakens is testament to how positive the word-of-mouth is.

At the very least I don't think we're going to see anything like the collective disappointment that greeted The Phantom Menace.

I was always more optimistic than that about TFA, so I am anyway happy to hear that...

Funnily enough, I was never really that hyped for the prequels back in 1999.  I was probably too preoccupied with exams or some such thing, but I don't recall thinking very highly of the advance footage/trailers.  But the footage/trailers/synopsis for The Force Awakens does excite me.
