My only real question/concern about continuity:
If the sun was drained of all it's energy and went black, why was it not dark on the planet when they returned from the fight at the end? They were in the same system.
quote:One of the few spoiler-ish things I did see going in was Patton Oswalt tweeting that TFA had the best ending shot of any star wars film ever, so I was anticipating it. I agree the spinning wasn't great. I was expecting more of a still frame to end it. Almost like a both hand from each side reaching to hand the lightsabre over, almost a nod to "The Creation"quote:It felt like it belonged in a Mission Impossible film. Not that it was poorly done, it just took me out of the moment. They should have just left it at the moment where Luke pulled the hood back, and then Rey held out the lightsaber and cut back to Luke. Just my two cents on that.quote:Thought the exact same thing, the spinning felt unnecessary. Should've gone for a nice long shot, maybe with the sun setting over the water on the horizon.
I could have done without the spinning shot at the end of Rey and Luke.
quote:D'Qar? Something like that.
That wasn't Coruscant. Leia or someone else says the name of the system but I don't remember it. JJ would have made it obvious if they were destroying a known major planet.
quote:Agreed, I thought her character development was really well done.
As a fangirl, let me say I'm so glad they introduced an awesome female lead like Rey without being preachy about it or having some line like LOTR: "no man can kill me" "I am no man!"
quote:Well, that line of dialogue is straight from the book...

quote:MY guess was Tolkien probably wasn't trying to make a feminist statement.
My comment stands, whether it be Tolkien or Jackson
quote:One of my more favorite things about the atmospheric battle was that you could see the compressed air from the X-Wing. It's nice to see that they took care to actually pay attention to the details about them actually being in an atmosphere when flying and that Seeing the view from the pilot's seat was more of a bonus since playing X-Wing and TIE Fighter on the PC though.
One of my favorite shots was the first person view looking out the cockpit of an x-wing!
quote:With R2 in low power mode maybe he only did a scan for the other part of the map once a day or something like that.
I'm pretty sure BB-8's map had been in the big console for a day or so before R2 woke up.
I think it was something else...maybe Rey's presence?

quote:BB8 did have it in his (her? they said BB8 is female right?) little compartment/storage area when they got to the base. Poe had to take it out so it could be put of on the larger display. I wasn't sure why they just left it in there until R2 woke up though. I'm still not clear exactly on why R2 woke up suddenly. I think that will likely be one of the things we are left to wonder about. I wonder if that was TCTTS' convenient things he spoke of.
Did BB8 have the map on him when he got to Resistance base? At some point they had to put it back in his USB drive. I thought maybe R2 was asleep until the other part of map was nearby. Once the two pieces were nearby, he woke up. It happened pretty fast, so my facts could be off.
quote:Gotta be setting him up for redemption in IX, yeah?
I'm glad they didn't kill Kylo off. I liked his character and I feel like they can do a lot with him.
