I give this movie a 6/10. It was ok, but most of the hype it's getting is because it's being compared to the prequels, which were three of the worst movies in the history of cinema.

The Resistance is pretty small, both in numbers and in how widespread the fight is, so it makes sense to just use a limited number of ship types. Y-Wings were Clone Wars era ships, so old already. I do think you'll see new and different ship types going forward. That's just part of the formula.
They don't look much different, but the TIE/fo is much more advanced than the original. It has shields, better weapons, and a hyperdrive (at least the Special Forces TIE does). Again, I'm sure we'll see more variety going forward.

And the same writers writing the sequels?

Did he write this one?
quote:Jedi Steps and Rey's Theme are my favs. Basically anything that Rey is involved with.
Have to say the score, which I thought was ok but not all that memorable the first time, is really growing on me after the second viewing.

quote:Agree Han knew who she was, but no way that was Luke's ship (at least not him piloting it)... She was crying for her mom. The connection is there, I'm just hoping it's not like as a father.
After second watching:
When Rey told Han her name right when he gave her the blaster, he definitely knew who she was. That scene was Harrison Ford's best acting of the movie, imo. Leia would know her, too. I don't know if Rey is a Skywalker, but she definitely has a connection to the Skywalkers. I'm also betting that was Luke's ship she saw flying away from Jakku during the flashback.
Chewie and Leia hugged at her first appearance on screen, so no huge rift there. He walked past to set up the big hug with the lost relative or whatever. No statement being made.
The story of how Maz got the lightsaber will be told.
Prediction: Ep VIII opens with a big battle, but then goes to Luke narrating a lot of the backstory for Rey at the monastery. But he leaves something important out a la Kenobi.

You're entitled to your opinion, even if I believe it is unequivocally wrong.

Playing the popularity card isn't going to get you anywhere. I believe 95% of people, including moviegoers and critics, are basically ******ed and easily deceived. There are certainly instances where something is popular because it is legitimately a work of art, but more often than not, that isn't the case and I don't believe it's the case here. The best adjective to describe this movie would be "acceptable." It's that, and no more. I never said it's a bad movie, but it is FAR from great.

Just thinking about this - If you were Disney, would you want Rey to have blood relations with the main old characters? Gotta think that they'd like to expand this universe more going forward, and keeping everything centered around the Skywalker bloodline wouldn't seem like the right way to go with that. This trilogy would be a good way to cleanly end the story of the Skywalkers.
Star Wars is not about galactic war. It's a story about the Skywalker Family.

Oh I see. Because you don't agree with everyone else, we're all wrong on our opinions of the movie and as you say, just a bunch of ******s.
quote:Well that's kind of a disappointing answer, honestly.
"But the idea was that in that scene where R2 plugged in, he downloaded the archives of the Empire, which was referenced by Kylo Ren," Abrams said. Thirty-eight years later, in both our own and galactic time, that data becomes useful in The Force Awakens when a new droid approaches the dormant R2.
"BB-8 comes up and says something to him, which is basically, 'I've got this piece of a map, do you happen to have the rest?'" Abrams said. "The idea was, R2 who has been all over the galaxy, is still in his coma, but he hears this. And it triggers something that would ultimately wake him up."
The director acknowledges that R2's sudden "awakening" at the end was designed to be an emotional storytelling utility: "While it may seem, you know, completely lucky and an easy way out, at that point in the movie, when you've lost a person, desperately, and somebody you hopefully care about is unconscious, you want someone to return."
So for those let wondering: BB-8's earlier question rattles around inside R2's dome for a while. Those old astromechs must just take a while to boot up again.
