Ummmmmm ok.... So is MacRumors gonna be announcing every movie released on iTunes now? If so, I'll just turn off MacRumors notifications now.

Nope, but this is one of the highest grossing movies of all time and the audience overlaps quite a bit with ours. Our last post on it was quite popular.

(We also covered Avatar...on the front page even!)

Given how crap the last three movies were, this movie is getting a lot of love, should be a nice money spinner.

Oh..i'm just waiting for the next movie about The New Order to hunt down resistance on the planet similar to Hoth...with their AT AT walkers...to blast down their generators. I'm sure Kylo will be there with his storm troopers...and hopefully waiting to see Rey lose her arms as Kylo tells her..."Rey, you are my sister!"
Her response? "NOOOOOOO"

Saw it twice. Can't wait for the blu ray. Just wish it was an extended Director's Cut. The extras in this look good, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're holding back a Directors Cut for release just before Episode 8. It would be awesome though. I wonder if some industrious folk will try and integrate the deleted scenes into the the Theatrical Cut when they get their hands on it?

Such a disappointment in terms of story, which chronologically doesn't push the overall universe forward because it's practically a remake of Episode IV so Disney can make all the money. I just wish Episode VII was a true continuation. And not to forget that John Williams score disappointed as well, which is something that even the prequels delivered on.

Abrams declined on that already. Would have loved to see the deleted scenes inside the movie though.
