Rumor is snoke is the size of yoda... And it kinda makes sense cause they portrayed him as a giant menacing figure in his holograms, with a Napoleon complex for power

Serkis has said in several interviews that his character is around 7 feet tall.

I don't follow the stuff that deep to know, I just saw something online and thought it was an interest article. It seemed to make sense just thinking about it tho cause that hologram was beyond huge

While I was slightly disappointed that only the X-wing was present, the A-wing has been in service since at least Star Wars Rebels. So by the time that TFA rolls around, they would be roughly 40 year old tech. Not only that, but in the EU/Legends they weren't exactly the most reliable fighters either. I was more saddened that B-Wings weren't present.

The trooper with the electrified baton thing was a riot trooper.

I doubt they nerfed lightsabers, but rather most of them had glancing blows from their battles and wasn't close enough like Kenobi was in TPM to outright cut someone in half.
Darth Maul survived that, actually.

Ok so a few questions and thoughts

1- Han was probably the one who smuggled Rey to Jakku but isn't directly related to her

2- if the sub hadn't gone out would Kylo still have killed Han?

3 - add more later

For #2 I think the Sun going dark was just a thematic thing to reinforce all the light had left Kylo.

I hope you're not talking bout me with that statement! I love A&M football, I just like Star Wars more.

Sorry about the re-post.

While I got that initially, during my 2nd viewing I thought that his attitude changed there when the sun went out.

Dunno, probably just me.

Yeah, just did it for thematic value, imo.

Also read the original title of VII was shadows of the empire

I really liked that n64 game

Battle on hoth, speeder bikes, fighting slave 1, and flying the outrider, which was as cool as the falcon

Yes I know. Fortunately for TCW, his arc turned out to be pretty damn good. Initially when I saw him pop up my immediate reaction was "Really?"

Take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but someone on 4chan who claims to be connected with Disney people says the title for Ep VIII will be Star Wars: The Knights of Ren.

Shadow of the Empire was the original title. Not Shadows.

TKOR - I even like the acronym too.

Each of the titles in their respective trilogies seem to really sync up thematically.

The Phantom Menace --> A New Hope --> The Force Awakens
All refer to a particular character who is strong with the force and is setting off on their journey/rise to power.

Attack of the Clones --> The Empire Strikes Back --> The Knights of Ren
Pretty straightforward. The rise of our bad guys.

Revenge of the Sith --> Return of the Jedi --> ???
Again, pretty straightforward. Gotta imagine they follow this pattern closely for IX.

Like I said, grain of salt. But you'd be surprised how much accurate information actually does get leaked on 4chan.

this lady also posted a sneak peak at what finn will look like in episode VIII:

Hmm...definitely plausible. I need to really do some looking into all these other books.

Meh. I think it's more likely that Kylo went to Endor himself. I don't guess it really matters, though. He never stated how he knows that storm trooper was at the battle of endor, did he?

I'd prefer it if they just said Luke kept his father's mask after burning the body, and Kylo stole it from his uncle when he betrayed him.

So...did you think Carrie Fisher looked that old?

I didn't think she looked any comparatively older than Han or even Luke, but she did look different as though she's had plastic surgery. I had heard she and Mark Hamill lost a lot of weight to play their roles.

on 2nd viewing i kept looking at her specifically and i thought she looked fine. the first viewing i found her distracting a few times but the second she certainly looked age appropriate and actually better than i thought i remembered from the 1st time.

After people mentioned her upper lip I saw what they meant, but she didn't jump off the screen as a horrible mess.

They both did, but Hamill's was like almost a return to his previous Jedi form.


I mean, damn he lost a bunch of weight.

Some more reading on the Rey is a Kenobi theory...I like it more than the Skywalker theory.

I didn't think she looked terrible. Sure the upper lip thing was there. Another thing is that she was sucking in during her scenes, especially her goodbye with Han. Gut sucked in, chest puffed out.

Hamill got fat fairly recently. He didn't look like that 10 years ago.
