I wouldn't have been able to have gotten to a Target yesterday.
Why not?!?
1. College kids don't sleep
2. You live in Minnesota...there's probably one in your building

I preordered from Target and got a $5 gift card for doing it that way. It was delivered yesterday, so I didn't have to wait longer which was nice and I didn't have to drive to the store.
Yeah...I thought about that and didn't think $5 was worth the risk...lol!!
I don't know why you think I live in Minnesota. I despise gophers.Why not?!?

And true we don't sleep but I'm not exactly in walking distance to a target.
I live in the beer and cheese state.They don't have target in Illinois? Huh?

My local Best Buy didn't have the steelbook. Guess I might have to try target because IF I get this I'm getting it in 3D
Yes I'm one of those people, but not a terrible one like some others
Mine still had the sing ones as well as some original ghostbusters ones. They honestly are hook items. They go for insane prices on the resale market and people go crazy for them. Oh well, if I do go for target it probably won't be wont be shut out online. That's how I had to get the Best Buy exclusive of kung fu panda 3 like 6 months after release date, no stores within a hundred miles carried them anymoreThe last couple times I've looked for steel books at best but they are gone almost immediately...I think they're "hook" items and must get about 3
The target deluxe with 3D should be around till the weekend at least.
Any thoughts on the best "version" of Rogue One to buy (target, walmart, BB, amazon)?
I at least want a version with digital option. 3D is ok (i have a 3D BD player) but not a necessity.
I bought my version from Amazon. Just the digital with the bonus. The price is equal a DVD. Must say on second viewing I still really like this film. And no one can touch Vader in the bad guy department. I never considered myself a Vader fangirl. But my goodness they absolutely landed the fact that Vader was very ruthless.
And I really love the way they show the Rebel Alliance. A scrappy organization having to make difficult decisions to keep going.

In ten years...after Disney has had a chance to take Star Wars to the prom and then never talk to her again...
...rogue one is gonna grow. And it has major flaws...but it sticks to the ribs in a way no Star Wars has since 1983.
I don't think the farce awakens was a terrible effort - its approach/motives were all wrong...as in I kinda wish they wouldn't have met Ford's ransom demands...I'm ok with him going away and being disgruntled he never got paid - but from the time the credits rolled it was missing that "it" factor...that you get a little of when you watched R1.
The measure of the Star Wars phenomenon has never been when you are watching it...it's what your memory and emotions do with it after the credits rolled.
Yep. And this theme has been consistent even in the cartoon Star Wars Rebels. My whole family loves these, as opposed to Clone Wars which we like, but don't love. Still better than the prequels though. Regardless I think Disney has done a good job of starting to standardize the universe. Happy to see Timothy Zahn's Thrawn (Heir to the Empire series) survive the EU to Legends cull. Outside of Vader, he is the best Star Wars villain. Really think those Zahn books are the best of the Legends, even at 25+ years old, though the original Knights of the Old Republic game was flat out incredible as well.
I expect to see so much more coherence in the games, books, movies and shows going forward. For example, my daughter loves the Ahsoka book, by E.K. Johnson, that takes place between Clone Wars and Rebels. So many gaps filled in, provides a strong female Force character the first 6 (and especially the prequel) movies horribly lacked, and helps flesh out the period between Episode III and IV. Love that Rebels is filling in this gap as well, even though you know nothing good can come to the characters in the end.
I haven't watched The Clone Wars or Rebels animated stuff, but the Thrawn trilogy of books was really cool. It's a no-brainer to milk that one.
I guess they had to have the originals in the new set, but Han and Leia were the weakest performances and stories in my opinion. Having read many of those "Legends" books, I was a little disappointed where they ended up.
Chewie and Luke did a great job though.
I did think the new trio of heroes did a good job (Finn, Poe, and Rey). They are a charismatic group.
