It's almost time! In less than a week we'll be sitting down to watch a new Star Wars movie on the big screen for the first time since Revenge Of The Sith, and to mark the occasion the official Facebook page has unveiled this cool new motion poster of sinister Darth Vader fanboy, Kylo Ren. His unusual cross-guard lightsaber caused quite a bit of backlash when we first glimpsed it in the initial teaser, but has it grown on you at all?

Wow only 6 days?!

MarkCassidy - 12/12/2015, 10:19 AM

Yep, crazy right? I remember hearing they were making this and thinking it'd be sooo long until it would be released. I'm actually seeing it in 4 days:)

TheManWithoutFear - 12/12/2015, 10:22 AM

This site's gonna be packed full of spoilers from the 18th onwards, so I'm going to have to go CBM cold turkey.

Pathogen - 12/12/2015, 10:23 AM

Yeah. Definitely not reading any Star Wars articles for awhile. Stupid.

PesciGotPepsi - 12/12/2015, 10:24 AM

Seing this on the 16th! I can't wait anymore!!

I was one of the first to say that the "crossguard" was actually just exhaust being released, due to the unstable nature of the lightsaber. Yet everyone went nuts about how stupid the two extra little sabers are. They're clearly unstable and not solid.

one week till everyone shits all over this movie.

MarkCassidy - 12/12/2015, 10:56 AM

Don't even have tickets yet. I'll go a few weeks after release, give them time to clean up the theatre and get the smell of unwashed nerds out of the seats.

PapaEmeritus - 12/12/2015, 12:11 PM

Is Kylo a Vader wannabe or what?

TheEpicJuicebox - 12/12/2015, 1:04 PM

KYLO REN IS OBI'S SON

Greengo - 12/12/2015, 1:41 PM

I'm seeing it the 17th. That's like 5 days I think.

Greengo - 12/12/2015, 1:42 PM

It took my email hours to buy the tickets online the day they went on sale because the sites kept crashing.

Eventually I had to download the application for my theater and by them through the app.

Greengo - 12/12/2015, 1:42 PM

*it took me 3 hours

SteveBosell - 12/12/2015, 2:54 PM

I'm seeing it on the 17th as well. I'm going to be a zombie at work the next morning. My showing is at 10:45pm.

vincanss - 12/12/2015, 4:36 PM

Scorpo - 12/12/2015, 4:50 PM
