STAR WARS: EP 7 ***SPOILER ZONE*** - Go here if you've seen it (1 Viewer)

Just saw the movie. 5 stars without a dbout

hear me out here

JJ Abrams just pulled his pants down and crapped on George Lucas. So many little things that he did to laugh at 1-3. The movie was absolutely amazing the "jj poking lucas with a stick" was the icing on the cake.
Hell, he started the movie with the 1st line being "this is how we begin to make things right", and ended it with "may the force be with you".

Boss.

 
Loved how Kylo was hitting himself where he was shot. Weirdo.

Reminded me of Law & Order when he was smacking himself in the face.
I think it was to keep himself conscious because he was losing so much blood and hurt so bad.

Possibly to keep up a blind rage and the emotions that use the dark side, to blot out the conflicting emotions. But to keep from passing out seems to be the stronger reason to me.

One of my issues with the film is that as a huge fan of the first three films I really wanted to see everyone together again. With Han dead that means that won't happen so the fact there wasn't a single scene with them together in this film stinks even more for me personally.
Surprised more fans aren't bothered by this. The last scene of Jedi was a huge celebration and the next thing you know Han is killed by his own son.
My first thought too. On the one hand glad we got to see them again but that would have really dovetailed nicely for me.
Not a big issue. It wouldn't add to the story. We know they are all close and if they did it would have probably appeared forced.
Honestly the scenes with Han and Leia were some of my least favorites, probably mostly due to Leia, and it would have seemed forced if Luke shows up out of the blue.

I think this movie had two objectives - revive the Star Wars franchise - to do that, it had to show homage to the original trilogy to bring back all the old star wars geeks. Second, it had to be the launch pad for a new trilogy bringing in a new generation of fans. So, JJ had to mix the old characters (for nostalgia) with the new characters who will carry the franchise forward.

If it was only about reuniting the old crew - it would not have enough legs to stand on its own for the next generation.

I think it was a good balance - and I am interested in seeing how Rey and Finn figure into the future storylines. (although surely the 9th movie will involve a Death Star that is actually the size of a star and draws energy from a nearby galaxy which is guarded by an impenetrable force field, except for one planet which hold the key to the power source.)

I was pretty high last night but how did they explain Leia and Han being separated?
Han is a scoundrel. Leia is a prude. She got tired of his ways, he got tired of her nagging. Concious uncoupling.

They kind of jeep it hush hush, Leia sleeping with Chewy was the last straw for Han.

 
Finally saw it at a midnight show last night with the wife and one of my daughters. They are both casual fans, but loved it like I did.

Some ##### on Facebook spoiled Han's death and who Kylo Ren was so I knew it was coming and it did take some of the emotion out of it.

I wore my "Many moods of Spock" tee-shirt.

Cashier - May the Force be with you.
Me - (doing the Vulcan salute) Live long and prosper.
Cashier - (laughs) They might kill you in there.

The womp rat keeps getting bigger and bigger to bullseye.

 
I read an article last night that wasn't satire. 5 things we aren't sure about yet. #5:

"Do we know Han is dead? Sure we saw the light saber go through his torso, and we saw him pushed off the bridge into seemingly infinity and then the planet blew up. But we never saw the body. Are we sure he's actually dead?"

:lmao:

Pretty sure Rey is Luke's daughter.

You have to figure, after the events of "Jedi", there wasn't much left for Luke to do. The Empire had been overthrown, all the other Jedi were dead. Luke probably went on an intergalactic tour as I'm sure there were billions of people/creatures that wanted to get a glimpse of the man who saved the galaxy.

Can you imagine the endless waves of Jedi-groupie trim that were being thrown at him? The guy would have had to have been neck deep in poon of all species 24/7/365. Eventually, it wore him down and he just said #### it and started dropping his cargo like he'd just seen the first sign of an Imperial starship. 3 ways, 4 ways, Eiffel Towers, all while Ben, Anakin, and Yoda watched and ghost-whacked off.

Eventually and predictably, the women he bedded, emboldened by the absence of Imperial tyranny, began filing child support suits looking for their share of the Skywalker fortune. Facing a lifetime of legal imbroglios, Luke fled to the first Jedi temple where he could Force choke his chicken in solitude. That map was being sought not only by Kylo Ren but by legions of women raising illegitimate Skywalkers who were tired of their kids waving their little hands and saying things like "You will give me another cookie now..."

The look on Luke's face at the end of "The Force Awakens" was born of the abject horror that accompanied the realization that one of his horde of ******* progeny had finally tracked him down. My guess is that episode VIII will begin with him taking his old lightsaber back from Rey, immediately chopping her in half with it, then escaping to some even more remote location in the Outer Rim where he can recede into a cave and lope his mule in peace until the sweet release of death finally comes.
Clearly Luke should have taken notes from Arizona Ron before engaging in that lifestyle

No one spoiled it for me, but still saw it coming from a mile away, so I am not sure they ruined much for you.

I didn't know the history of Harrison wanting his character "killed off" earlier in the movies so wasn't expecting it.

Saying that, when Kylo said the part about needing to make a difficult decision I pretty much knew what was coming.. Still was shocking when the Saber lit up through his torso :shock:

I may have missed it but why did c3po have a red arm?
I asked a few pages back..... Nobody seems to know or care.I'm guessing it will come up in 8 or one of the sidebar movies.
I answered ya yesterday:

I think it was covered in a recently released comic book.

ETA: Yep, found it:

announcement on Disneys official Star Wars website it is revealed that readers will be able to find out how C-3PO received his new limb in a special one-shot comic book. The comic reunites the award-winning team of writer James Robinson and artist Tony Harris for the first time in two decades and will be part of the Journey to The Force Awakens line of publications thats filling in the 30-year gap between Return of the Jedi and Episode VII.

Plot details are being kept under wraps for now, with the only hint being that C-3PO will be venturing on a solo adventure (so, no R2-D2?) that leads up to his appearance in The Force Awakens. If the secrecy for the books is anything like what its been for the movie, we probably wont find out much about the comic until it hits shelves in December.

I actually thought this because it is Star Wars. Luke was dead dead in Empire but still lived.

What's this now?

 
When was he dead dead in Empire? I just watched it last night. Did you get a directors cut or something?
Well first he's passed out frozen on Hoth for hours then comes out of that fine. Next he has his hand chopped off and drops down and infinite chasm only to fall down a magical hole and land on the sturdiest antenna ever made in existence. Also they made it canon for Darth maul to get chopped in half and come back with sweet robot legs in The Clone Wars cartoon (officially canon according to Disney). So who's to say Han didn't happen to land on such a device inside of the doomsday planet and then repair his pierced torso with some spare wires and metal, find a conveniently placed ship and make it out of there before the planet imploded.

Just saying.

None of that equals dead, and that cartoon has nothing to do with Luke in Empire. But ok.

There's a big difference in "seeing it a mile away" while watching the movie and knowing about 24+ hours before it happened.

 
Finn mos def has the Force. He's the main reason it's titlted The Force Awakens.

Very well done movie that was dragged down by the scenes with Carrie Fisher in them and the idea that bad guy once again build a giant weapon that the good guys have to go fly over and blow up.

The younger cast was excellent.

 
One thing I missed, did they confirm or just insinuate that Ren was the disciple that Luke lost? To that....what the 411 with Big Gollum?

 
When will the dark side ever figure out not to leave their most vulnerable point exposed?????? :rant:
What they really need are shields to protect their shields. It will give them that extra minute they always seem to need.
Didn't they basically already try that in ROTJ?

But, shields to protect the shields which protect the shields? I think that's the win if combo.

ROTJ's Death Star didn't have one big vent....it had like thousands of tiny ones all around....so noone could fire a missile down it. What they fouled up on was not finishing it.

Yeah but they put a shield over another shield from the ewok planet.

They should have put a shield over Endor. That would have been money.
