Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Post-release)

Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey. Quit making your action sequences look like they were edited for TV Spots. I want to see and digest what I'm looking at before you cut to another explosion.
 
Who's Jar Jar Binks? You know what would have been funny? When Luke and Ray were staring at each other and it cuts to Luke and he goes to say something... CUT end credits!
Its so sad that they had not Jar Jar Binks Head on a stick anywhere in the background!:D

Jedi Rules.

I am watching it right now. The original, not the S.E. It rules.

Ewoks are awesome.

For me the move was fun but just so derivative and devoid of originality. The prequels have issues but at least they didn't copy anything and tried to be their own story. I'll see it again and hope my opinion improves.

There is a lot I liked about it but there was some bad spots in it.

I laughed when I saw all the lens flares at the beginning but stopped noticing it about 20min in.
The whole R2D2 thing was really bad.
Han dead NOOOOOOO but I like to think Ford wouldn't sign on without it.
I thought Chewie blew himself up after that until we see him again.
Leia - didn't have that presence she had in the OT but hey she's had a tough like so OK.
Leia walking past Chewie after Han dies and basically ignoring him.
The fly around shot at the end. WTF fine to keep Luke how he is but lets just freezeframe for a bit

Also the Star Wars universe is the universe of bad parents where no one takes care of their kids.

The jokes worked and for the most part I would watch it again and look forward to what's next.
 
Jar Jar is currently strung out on death sticks using his tongue for unspeakable things ............ like cleaning toilet bowls what did you think I meant ??
 
Re: "I loved or mostly loved TFA" - people only thread

SPOILERS:

It felt real.

I believed the characters.

It moved effortlessly between different strong emotions, balancing humor, sadness, and wonder.

It made it okay to like SW again.

It made me feel like I was ten again.

It absolutely riveted my two teenage boys.

It kindled my desire to draw, make things, be creative. My kid's also.

It was much better on the second viewing.

They had a silly tentacle monster bit that felt like Red Dwarf (HIGH praise!)

Kylo Ren is one of the most interesting bad guys ever. I hope they don't F him up in the sequels.

Good lord the whole cast can act. I could just list actors.

It's beautifully shot and designed. Maybe the best LOOKING of all seven.

Luke. Dear god. I tear up just thinking about how good that last few seconds was. Perfect. I can't wrap my head around all the people who wanted the end spoiled by Luke talking. It. Was. Perfect.

Rey's hero shot when she plucks the saber from the snow past Kylo. Dear god again. I mean, wow.

I'm already looking forward to digging into all the dorky EU minutia.

Can't think of any other praise to heap on this at the moment. I'll be seeing it a third time in a few days :D

So during the fight at the end, how exactly is Kylo injured? The editing makes this a bit hard to follow. There's a quick shot of Rey cutting something, looked like it was just some fabric on Kylo's robes, but some say she cut off his hand? And it seemed like maybe she hit his saber and screwed it up before scaring his face? It was just really hard to tell what happened so quickly.
 
a rather bad scorching ?

I don't know all the injury's seemed strange in the final battle like Finn got his spine sabered out or something ?

and Kylo kept seem to just miss getting everything he had wacked off and ends with superficial wounds like Chewie's blast finally caught up with his and Rey just singed the heck out of him everywhere .

BTW, was that coruscant that was destroyed?

someone earlier said the name of the planet's but I cant remember but I guess it was not supposed to be corusant .
 
I'm just saying, if I'm in charge of the resistance and R2D2 is in my care and he goes into low power mode, I'm not just tossing a dirty tarp over him in the corner. He's a war hero. You respect that hero. You keep him somewhere monitored for crying out loud. He's important.
