You've used pedantry twice now. What's next?
I didn't have a problem with Chewie disagreeing with Han BEFORE the bad guys show up, about being able to talk himself out of jams. My problem is after the bad guys arrive, when Chewie sides with what the bad guy is saying over what is saying. The OT Chewie would never betray Han like that.

I dunno Wook were you the same as you are now 30 years ago? Surely there's room for personality growth/ movement in a character. Imagine working with Han Solo for 40 years or whatever you'd probably get a little umm flippant even in a tight spot.
Incidentally, "oh really, YOU'RE cold?" Is my favorite line in the film
Agreed. Even the line right before that. 'That's not how the force works.' Perfect. Old man with no patience for this kid. Funny.
Thats one of my favorite scenes in the movie,if not my favorite. It wouldn't have worked with anyone but Chewie for me.

Well, yeah, because he was the one with the fur coat, but I get you.
I also enjoyed when Chewie handed Han his coat.
That was gold. It was like Chewie was looking out for Han because he's getting old and Han looks at him like "I'm still badass Han,I don't need that."
If that's what JJ was going for, it didn't come off well. If Han had started to bend for the coat and Chewie swooped in to grab it first to spare Han from bending over, then I could see Han giving Chewie that look when it was being handed to him. But for Han to make no effort to pick up his coat, it makes no sense that he'd give an annoyed look at Chewie for picking it up for him.
Just more of the careless writing and directing which plagued virtually all of this film.
The Wook
I didn't mean he was too old to pick it up. More that Chewie was giving it to him because it was cold and it's a continuation of the "Chewies cold remark". As if Chewie is saying "here old man,it's cold out there"
I will say with almost 100% certainty Snoke is not Plagueis. Pablo Hidalgo of the story group has been mocking that rumor pretty actively on Twitter.
Well that's even worse writing. It didn't work. I've seen the film twice, and each time it fell flat. The movie tried too hard to be funny, and most of the time it just didn't work. As I commented earlier, I absolutely loved Rey's "That was lucky!" line. Finn was mildly amusing, I guess, but he was borderline over-the-top. The hand-holding lines on Jakku were great. And, there was one thing Chewie did that I loved, and that was when he heard the Dejarik game start up and he sat up, suddenly not feeling so injured anymore. lol That was very reminiscent--and I mean that in a good way--of him perking up when Lando asked if anyone was hungry--a small but great ESB moment.
Ugh. It's so depressing thinking about how few things I liked in this movie.

Over all I liked it. The wife stayed awake and was smiling the whole time....and she hates Sci-Fi. JJ and Disney know how to make a good movie to appeal to the masses.
I really liked Kylo Rens voice, super Villain! I wish he kept his helmet on the whole movie only taking it off when face to face with Han. The BB-8 sounds were fantastic as well and portrait-ed a lovable puppy very effective.
I kinda cringed at how much abuse the Falcon took on its initial flight and subsequent bang ups. The use of CGI was good enough not to be a distraction.
I hope Captain Phasma makes a comeback. She had way too small of a role for her sexy chrome character.
Fin. He was a garbage man? How did he get so good at tossing a saber around? Perhaps there is something of a back story.
Fin and Rey.....I dont need another pre planned romance between the two. Kinda got put off by his 'fresh out of the First Order on leave' pick up lines.
The new Cantina. Great job. They had a wide variety of aliens that showed creativity and imagination. Same goes for Jukko(?). A couple of times I found myself thinking....
Hey that thing is cool!" The dewback-looking with a robot head is one thing that popped out.
