I'm totally up for seeing it again actually I wasnt that bothered about Ren removing the helmet tbh and at times it made sense to do so.

The main thing that bothered me was his personality change with it. Mask on was a bad evil guy similar to vader, mask off was a whiny idiot like anikan. This may have been intentional to show he wasn't completely evil as he does say something like I feel the pull to the light to the vader skull. Either way, I did enjoy it, just thought that there were plot holes in it. I would be up for going again (without my kid next time so I can pay more attention). The theater we went to did have a neat display deal in the lobby and I got some photos, I will add them in a new response in a second.

The theater we went to had this giant sleigh with vader in it that was being pulled by two taun tauns and an atat. Couldn't pass up the photo op for my kid being a goofball. I don't know if he was supposed to go sit on it, but no one stopped us.

If no one stopped you, then it's legal.

..Those are the rules!

It's all legal until you're caught!

I went low budget and actually watched TFA in my basement!! Got a broken projector and got it working, bought a $2.50 shower curtain, then Frankie found a terrible bootleg online. However, it was AWESOME!!

That would have been a cool option also John. Because I had my kid he was pretty consistent wanting popcorn, candy, soda, bathroom trip, general squirming that 7 year olds do. I knew it going in, but it took a lot of the attention from the film so I didn't see some things enough to really dive in like some of the theories I have read about. It was a good experience because I wanted him to see it and enjoy it as a star wars film like I had in the past. He has watched some of the films at home, but not all. He likes star wars because I like star wars; as opposed to he likes it because he likes it I think (if that makes sense).

Good photo op Bryan, your son looks like he's having fun on that Imperial sleigh    


Had to look twice at John's pic of the projector   especially with the pic of Finn underneath it..

The projector reminded me of Finn's stormtrooper helmet somehow.

 

He did have fun. In the pic with the atat you can see he is running across it to get in place to the front. He is the blur on the left.
