Kidding. It's all good. Although I think I'm going to dump out of this tread until I see the film. I can see spoilers coming fast and furious over the next several months. They have my money already. I want to go in when I first see the flick as naive as possible. Fingers crossed that it's a great movie!

Well, both Anthony Daniels and Drew Struzan are saying it'll be the best Star Wars film ever. Like better than A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, an extremely high bar to set.

I found other examples of people not handing their lightsabers correctly:


Cricket


Badminton


Tennis:


Hockey:


Golfing


Skiing

I think you misunderstood, not really how he hold the lightsaber just that Boyega simply looks awkward with a lightsaber. We were just trying to figure out why, that was one of the suggestions but not necessarily the actual reason. Those pictures you posted looks great in whatever way they hold the lightsaber so that theory is proven wrong. Probably because he's not wearing a familiar Jedi outfit. No big deal to me anyway.

I like that golfing one. I wonder what handicap Vader plays off? Him and Palpatine probably had a 'no Force powers rule' when they played on the Endor links. Not sure about them Ewok caddies though.

The difficulty on the Tatooine course is pretty difficult with that humougous sand pit.

or "shit it went in the Sarlaac"

Solid single-digit for Vader. Palpatine has the yips, but no-one's brave enough to beat him ... Neither of them replace divots.

Palpatine stays out during lightning as well, like the Father in Caddyshack.

Yeah, the Sarlaac, now THAT'S what you call a hazard.

[SirMontyPython]

I'm geeking out on Star Wars here!! Why can't December come any quicker?

[klauswhereareyou]

Okay now I want a Star Wars golf video game a la Hot Shots Golf or Mario Golf.

The Great Pit of Carkoon is full of lost souls and lost Titleist Pro V1s.

Imagine being the poor bugger who's got to go and fish them out.

I think they should sell some light sabres and blasters but decent ones not the plastic stuff .

This. And it's really not that big of a deal to me either, I'm just currently not buying Boyega as a Jedi.

Boyega holding the lightsaber doesn't look even remotely as cool as one single individual posted by Fred Bang.

Please forgive my ignorance and no one laugh but could some explain the saber colours to me? Is it like karate belts?

(Re-reading that, it just looks like perfect ammo to be laughed at, haha).

It's personal choice or handed down (like Luke's saber) with the Jedi, the Sith use red (they're more powerful synthetic ones compared to the Jedi's natural stones). I think there's some kind of rights of passage with the original Jedi students were they're drawn to the crystal in a cavern.

A friend of ours was a combination of naive, hopeful and bl**dy silly when Episode 1 came out: he literally bought 2 of everything as a future investment. Not sure what he did with it all, but it's safe to say that he didn't see a return on his outlay. At least the complete sealed set of Lost in Space movie toys we have were picked cheap...

I think they made enough Jar-Jar toys for every kid in the World ... and half the adults too.
