huh - huh - huh...

I know.

However, some people on Reddit think it means that Luke dies during TFA.

My BB-8 droid arrived today.

I'm debating on whether to unpack it tomorrow morning, or wait.

If it's kosher in your book, post a video of it.

If it wasn't $150, it'd be an instant purchase.

My friend bought one of these as well. I poked fun with him that for all we know, he just bought a $150 remote control Jar-Jar Binks. You just don't know.

As someone who didn't follow this, any reason they didn't match supply with demand?

It appears they underestimated demand, they didn't think a $150, 5" toy would sell so quickly.

It's great fun, although it tends to spin on its own axis and lose orientation for the remote. Haven't quite got the hang of that yet.

So Luke isn't in it. Is it because they don't want to spoil the beard?
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

I think one more thing stuffed into that poster might have caused it to explode. Not that it's bad, it's just -full-.

That seems like a dumb reason. Word is here's barely in the movie.

Itis quite busy, but I'm surprised it isn't actually bad for it. I think it's well done considering the amount of elements inside it.

They could get rid of C3PO and R2. Obsolescence surely.

And what's the thing behind R2? Can't remember seeing it in any clips.

Someone unfollowed me on Twitter, and a bunch of other people, for posting a pic of this poster, calling it a "spoiler".

How is the poster a spoiler? Ok, maybe the thing in the upper-right is new, but for all we know it could be a new probe droid.

Regardless, he considers *ANY* information to be a spoiler. I disagree - there's a minimum amount of information given to your target audience to get them riled up. Anything PAST THAT, IMO, is a spoiler.

Exactly my thoughts. I even said that to him.

Is he going to live in a bubble for 60 days?

Also, you can mute people on Twitter. I don't know if it's just a Tweetdeck thing, but there's no need to flat-out unfollow people.

I can appreciate wanting to cocoon for a pristine experience, but suffering under a delusion that this counts as a spoiler is absurd.

If the poster hanging up outside the theater you walk into is considered a spoiler, you're in trouble.

This guy had better not go online or watch TV or talk to any other humans for the next 2 months.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

He probably gets mad when you tell him what movie he's going to see.

Just take him to the theater blindfolded and let the magic happen!

That will never happened. C3PO and R2D2 are the only two characters slated to appear in every Star Wars film. Or at least that was Lucas' original plan.

There, I fixed it.
