I can't forget the line I waited in, to see it at the Big Newport, in Newport Beach. Line stretching out through the back side, across the parking lot. Such a big deal then. Will be again.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<I got misty eyed at Han and Chewie>> Yeah, me too. Even more-so when I watched the clip showing the wildly cheering and applauding fans!

Like that one on Tatooine. If that is Tatooine. I'm guessing it is.

Originally Posted By oc_dean Thank Dagobert .... even though I don't know what TFA means or "Battle of Jakku". I took the crashed Star Destroyer as the last remnants of the Empire ... and then ALL of it, finally crushed.
Originally Posted By oc_dean And I'm anxious to see how many years they say passed ... since the 2nd Death Star was destroyed. For the timeline for the film, it's 32 years. So, I'm going to guess they say the same amount of time passes 'within the film'.

It's not Tattooine. There's a new Empire. It's called First Order. It also has a new logo.
