Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Post-release)

[annanake]

3rd time now for me and my son. Love it more with each viewing and
he's asked again when we can go again. He's never been this way with any movie. I tried to take him once to a movie he really loved and he wanted to leave half way through.Not this though. The niggly bits I had on the first viewing aren't so bad after you've come to piece with them. So many props I need from this film now. That's probably its biggest downfall for me,my wallet will be empty for a while.

See it is that darn Disney conspiracy again mind control over us making us watch lol.

My wife had never seen a full viewing of Star Wars. After seeing TFA, she has been watching the original trilogy on her own accord. Amazing!

My best friend saw TFA, and went back to see ANH. HE'S NOW starting at the prequels (saw TPM and enjoyed it), now going in order.

That's just cool. HE'S always been a cynic, but he's really analyzing the important things now and downplaying the minutiae of what we argue about so often here.

Regarding travel times...

ANH spent time on the trip for story purposes. We got to see Luke training and learned about the Force, and learned a bit about Han and Chewy. There was also time needed for the destruction of Alderaan.


It still felt like they were in transit for less than an hour. Chewie and Artoo were well into their first game. Luke was just getting going with his first exercises. And Han came out of the cockpit to let them know they'd lost their pursuers. Then, after about five minutes of dialogue about the Force, the navicomputer signalled that they were coming up on their destination.

The whole speech about the force and Luke being real while they look at BB8's map was during a hyperspace jump as well.



Nope. The map was while they were hanging in space after leaving Jakku. BB-8 hadn't even told them the system they were going to yet. Then things broke and Han tractored them in. The rest, about the Force and Luke, was all while th eFalcon was sitting on the deck of Han's new ship.

Nope. The map scene was after they escaped the new ship and were in hyperspace. BB-8 told them the resistance location just before Han and Chewy showed up.

I figured I was correct with having seen it 5 times . but was not 100% so just left it alone. Facts are facts but theories are fun to debate !
Lol

Very very interesting...

What I really want is another death star, I mean why not? Right?
Maybe make it a cube though.

Vader did have a whole lot of electronic modifications, is it possible he had been assimilated? He could have just been paving the way for the Borg!

I've only seen it three times. I just cudgeled my brain to give me things in the right order. We were all right, and we were all wrong. Forgivable, considering how much is going on in the film. The Falcon first goes to lightspeed in this film with Han at the controls, departing his new ship. Rey and Finn leave Jakku traveling sublight, leave the cockpit and gun station, talk over each other in the corridor, the whatsit blows and Rey has to fix it, BB-8 reveals their destination, then the power goes out as Han locks the controls and tractors them in. Han and Chewie board, Rey or Finn makes a sound, Chewie pulls up the floor grating, Han demands to know where the rest of the crew is, Rey identifies herself as the pilot, Han wants to know where they got the ship, then chides Chewie for apparently turning him away from continuing to search on Jakku, they go through the list of people who have stolen it from each other since it was stolen from Han, Han then identifies himself and the ship... Finn knows him as the Rebel General, Rey knows him as the famous smuggler, Chewie dismisses Han as a war hero, Han corrects Rey's memory of his famous Kessel Run, has a moment in the cockpit, notices the modifications and comes back to the main hold to gripe about them, says they'll put them in a pod, Finn says they have to get BB-8 to the Resistance because he has a map to Luke, Han does his "it's true... all of it" speech, and I'm about 99% sure that's where BB-8 projecting the map fragment comes in. I see it again on Tuesday, so I'll make a note to check the sequence... But I'm pretty sure I remember right that BB-8 shows them all the map fragment before the Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub show up, and thus before Han takes them out of there at lightspeed., and thus none of it is during the hyperjump. But I'll find out for sure soon...

I've seen it once so far, but I did consult my bootleg camcorder copy before posting :cool

Han says,.....'yeah, I knew Luke' then they are interrupted by the guys boarding the cruiser

They exit the falcon & Han studies monitors showing the boarding Vessel

They have their time in the corridors of Han's Cruiser,.....They escape the monsters & jump to lightspeed,...Rey disables some circuitry & Han is impressed.....Finn patches up Chewie then sits at the chess table.....Han says to BB8 "Let's see what you got"

Apparently nobody showed Mark Hamill the script. I'm not sure what that look was he had on his face, but it sure wasn't *“kindness" and "amazement". It was more like "who the he'll are you and wtf are you doing here?"

 

[Wolfsburg]

I read more like he was very much a tormented soul.

Which means he decides to take them to Maz before seeing the map but after they mention Luke that makes more sense then , that is why I thought I could have been mistaken . it would make no sense for him to program the hyperdrive to go there before he heard about the Luke map but he did not yea ! The story line makes sense and I remembered correct . I figured the movie messed up or I did and was voting and hoping the movie was right ..even if it made me mistaken .

We went through this, he was busy playing angry birds and watching his beard grow during the script reading.lol
What I got from Luke's look was pretty much what they were apparently going for a little happy to see rey,a little sad because it ment he would have to put in some work now instead of the quite seclusion he was now acostomed to and bit of surprise at seeing his father's old saber along with the feeling remembering his father brought up. But I think in reality he just pulled a Keanu Reeves face pretty much flat so the audience can project there own feeling on it!

Second viewing, noticed some things:

Rathar's definitely didn't eat everyone, and actually carried off most of their prey. So perhaps most of both gangs have survived the ordeal. The Guavian Death Squad obviously came out on top, but if they cast the whole crew of the Raid, I expect a callback for (hopefully) some fight scenes.

That Bowcaster was intense and still only just managed to hurt Kylo.

Leia really sent Han to his death. She believed Ben had some good left in him...of course she didn't tell him how to bring Ben back, so I guess Han messed that up too...

Luke's eyes were super puffy, he must have no visine on that planet...

I went to a 2 pm show today with family. The place was as packed as it was on opening day. The crowd applauded at the end, so I guess most people liked it. I still really liked it. Maybe even more the second time. Not everyone I was with cared for it.

Saw it at a different theater this time and the sound was awful. The score was small and tinny sounding and the movie had pretty much no low end. It was NOT like this the first time I saw it and I'm considering not going back to that theater even though it's closer to my house. Both showings were regular 2D. So if you saw it and thought the sound was bad, maybe give it a shot at another theater. I was really surprised.

 

[Treadwell]

Having had no problems at AMC, I went to the local IMAX theater (the real imax, not the AMC simulacrum), and they considered my antique camera flash a weapon. :lol They were nice about it though. I said good naturedly "I guess someone up the chain thinks lightsabers are real."

Noticed a female trooper besides Phasma, judging by the voice: the one that reports to Ren about an alarm Rey had set off.
Finally saw KT.

Once of the doodads she removes from the SD is the same prequel saber part shape seen on her staff. I think that closes the lid on the idea that they really are saber parts.

In regards to the sound, I experienced the same thing. The first time it sounded terrible and it left me unimpressed with the soundtrack in particular. I saw it a second time in a different theater and my opinion turned totally around. The music and sound in general was far more noticeable and just better.

Or it is a saber part that was subsequently repurposed for her staff.
