I really hope it's not one of these deals where it's opening on February 8th, but I'm going to have to wait a month for it to show up at the nearest arthouse.

I had no idea that sports goggles could make me laugh so hard.  Possibly because I don't recall Ben ever wearing or needing glasses before.  (Did he wear them for Ultimate?)

It would have been much cooler if he had blown up the Death Star without the Death Star shooting first.
