Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Post-release)

Re: Star Wars TFA. Warning spoilers and I hate it!!! Haters and Lovers Welcome

I have a question. Why do film makers put in stupid bits like where Han shot the trooper without looking, the same thing happened in Lord of the Rings with Legolas surfing down the stairs on shield. There is so much action going on which looks good why do they have to put in this extra bit of nonsense which just takes away from how good that section of action is?
 
Something interesting I read....

We know that Lor San Tekka - Max Van Sydow's character- knows Kylo/Ben. But, we also hear Lor's voice (and see him?) during Rey's vision - when she's left on Jakku. It appears he's entrusted to watch over her and he knows both children.
 
The visual dictionary also mention that he is a friend to Leia and her brother.
 
Another random thought--the movie is called the Force Awakens? Kylo is CRAZY powerful. Rey is a VERY quick study. Are these kids force prodigies? Is the force itself somehow fresh and new? This isn't a complaint. I LOVED how Kylo was bonkers powerful. It was used to so much better potential than "Let me backflip for you" PT force powers. But the crazy over-powered nature of the characters might be significant? Or it might just be there because it's cool, and continuity be darned :lol

and another thing,...

Why in the heck is the Emperor never even mentioned. If you want to finish anyone's work it's his. I don't give a rat's patooty (I have kids and have to work on not swearing) that Vader is his Grandfather. This is coming from one of the biggest Vader fans ever but Vader did not do much compared to the Emperor. He had his own plans but they were cut short by, ...what was that,...oh yeah his redemption. Why would you ever follow a guy's path when he himself turned from it.

I never thought I would long for the days of Jar JAr.

Jar Jar being Plagueis would have been so much cooler and redeemed the prequels a little bit.

The scene where Kylo reaches for Luke's saber... and Rey pulls it. EARNED moment. Theater went nuts.

[/QUOTE:thumbsup

This scene was so awesome...my favorite one from the complete movie.:)


That was an awesome scene.
The only thing that would have made that lightsaber scene better would have been if Kylo actually pulled the lightsaber towards him and halfway through the air it made a 90 degree turn and went to Rey.
 
Just got back from an IMAX 3d screening. Wow! What an ending. Who would've thought Darth Vader was really Luke Skywalker's father! ;)

Great movie. Lots of fun. Of course I do have some minor gripes. Far superior to the prequels!

I understand what they did, to whom they did, because Disney...
...needs him to milk my other favorite franchise. Cue my other favorite John Williams theme...

ATM I wonder what the reason for Finn still being unconscious at the end of the movie is going to be.


He should have died right when Ren took a big saber slash to his spine. His body would have been torn almost into two pieces.

Another great moment / shocker would have been if Ren just crushed Finn head with a force grip. Rey is looking up at Finn when he is checking on her on the ground. Boom! His head explodes right in front of her.

Stupid title too. I was waiting for the part where it made since.

The force is an energy field created by all living things that surrounds us and penetrates us and binds the Galaxy together.

So if Kylo kills all the other Jedi, how that was done is a mystery and B.S. regardless. Luke runs off and Kylo continues to use the darkside. This causes,..what the force to go to sleep.


It's kind of like X Men Days of Future Past. It makes no sense. It does not actually explain anything and yet changes the entire original story but in actuality makes no sense and would not have changed the story. Oh you did not like that,...abracadabra it's gone. Don't ask why,..just eat your popcorn. And now Singer, who's first two X men were okay but weak, his Superman sucked, now is treated like a God for making a movie that actually makes no sense whatever.

Same here. TFA really makes no sense.

Where and who are the Republic??

Is the First Order just one Star Destroyer and the ridiculous Planet Death Star??? SERIOUSLY A THIRD DEATH STAR,...... AAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they suck their Sun dry they DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You worthless, crappy, idiot director. They die. The planet also can not move so how will you use it twice???? Was there a another sun for the fist shot???

This is the moron who made Into Darkness and had to be convinced to take this job. Lucas' original idea would have been better because the prequels were better and they were crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF????????

Seriously I am starting to think I am plugged into the Matrix and the controllers are just messing with me.


Sure a 124'10" wide plane can make 62' wide hole in a building.

We are to help,...by bombing your country.

Days of Future Past was awesome and fixed the continuity issues.

Up is down. Down is up

Trees are not wood.

The sky is brown.

Santa is real.

Sure terrorists are killing people but lets invite in more.

Of course guys with little flying experience can do things with a plane that is aerodynamically impossible for both the actual plane and military trained pilots with years of experience.

Poison is good for you.

Sure we can invade a country for no reason and get mad when other countries who are there by invitation show up.

Adding to the debt does not add to the debt.

We can spend more money than we have forever.

Eat more,..

Buy more, and more, and more....

TFA was good.

Okay I may have gone off the rails there a bit.

Sorry.
 
Re: Star Wars TFA. My Review. Warning spoilers and I hate it!!!!!!!.

*Kylo is nothing more than a confused, impetuous kid soldier.

I didn't hate it but it does have it's problems. Ren seems to be an angsty goth kid prone to temper tantrums, desperate to be liked by the cool kids.
 
I thought much of it was great. My only gripes being things I can live with (what, no bacta tank?).
 
The books are beginning to lay out a story where the Republic was afraid of forming a military to counter the First Order and Leia took it on herself to start what is sort of a second Rebel Alliance called the Resistance.

The call back music was memorable. I need to listen to the soundtrack to get a better feel of the film music, I spent too much time focused on the on screen action that I missed the new themes.

Since you seem to know--is Aftermath the only book out now? I abandoned the old EU awhile back when it became unwieldy and inaccessible. I want to jump right on the new EU and try to keep up.
