...Monday Night Football. The game starts 8:15 pm Eastern time but, God knows how long the first half will take. I'm a fan of one of the teams playing and I can't stay up that late on Monday. I'll just wait for someone to put it on youtube.

Hmm, that poster is interesting.

1. The X-wing guy seems to be less prominent than I would expect for somebody who was previously reported to be part of a new main trio.
2. Luke is fairly conspicuous by his absence. Not as big of a role as thought?, or would his physical appearance involve a major spoiler perhaps.
3. Is that a Nu-Death Star in the background? I hope it won't be rehashy.

I didn't even spot those things. I was only wondering what the hell is the girl wielding, and why have the bad guy's red lightsaber's saber going along her weapon? It made me think she was wielding some kind of lightsaber bath'leth.

Actually the game will start at 8:30. I have noticed that the half time show is roughly around 10:00.

It's the Giants vs. the Cheesesteaks. There is no valid reason to be not watching, even if there were no SW trailer being aired.

Exactly. One of the best rivalries in football even though right now it's buttered down by the quality of the teams.

Just hoping that the Giants finally win because I am tired of Eagles owning the rivalry for the past decade. It's one thing with the Cowboys but not the Eagles.
