quote:In those situations, barefoot would have been much better than heels!quote:it's been a while since i've seen the movie and it is a bit forgettable, but she was a business woman wearing heels when it hit the fan. Do you expect her to stop looking for her people to change shoes at a footlocker, go home to change shoes, go barefoot or take some off a corpse?quote:I'm still trying to understand why they had Clare run around the entire movie in heels..... That bugged the **** out of me.... The entire movie....
I'm skeptical about Trevorrow, but I think this is their thinking. To be optimistic, I thought the faults in JW were in the writing, not as much as the directing.
quote:I'd expect her to take the shoes off once they got back to the park or rip the heels off.

Let me start off by saying I don't think Rey is a Kenobi.
That being said, Obi Wan wasn't the purest of Jedi and could have possibly "broken the code" when it comes to women.
In the Clone Wars (i.e. CANON), Obi- Wan admitted to Satine of Mandalore that he would have left the Jedi Order for her if she would have asked. Maybe they got busy and started an accidental lineage that led to Rey?

They better not expect me to watch F'n cartoons to understand all this stuff. If so I'm out.

So has the Darth Plagueis is Snoke discussion started up here yet (waited to see the movie with the Wife and didn't get a chance to join in here before now)? It's an interesting theory, and one that I now am getting behind since I didn't realize that the Darth Plagueis book was removed from Cannon with the EU books. That removal doesn't make a whole lot of sense since the book takes place well before Episode 1, and the only reason I can think of to remove this book from the timeline is if they need to rewrite something that happens in that book, possibly the whole the Darth Sidious killing Plagueis?
quote:Palpatine says in RotS that Plagueis was killed by his apprentice, so removing the book doesn't do anything about that. They'll have to retcon it either way if they want him to be not dead.quote:It's a possibility, but don't read too much into the book being removed.

It's probably also been mentioned a ton of times in this thread but I'll ask:
Who else missed the 20th Century Fox Fanfare just prior to the beginning of TFA?
quote:quote:Absolutely. I am really coming around on the music after the second viewing. May do a third viewing tonight.
Based on everyone I have talked to, on their second viewing the score was more noticeable and they seemed to enjoy it more.
quote:I think that's a fair concern. Do you recall in the movie how they talked about his background? He had no prior "incidents" but he was being sent to reconditioning or something like that.
Apologies if this has already been covered, but this thread is long...
Finn's ability to just think for himself and have what was essentially a moral objection to the job that he had been brainwashed into for his entire life seemed odd to me. How was this one storm trooper able to suddenly think for himself and make a choice like that? For one thing, and this will likely prove how little I know about Star Wars, but I never even realized Storm Troopers were human. I thought they were robots or thoughtless clones or something. So now that I know they aren't, it seems odd that he could break away from his training like that. So was there something larger (the Force...) at play inside him? I'm really wondering if there is more to his story or if I just need to be ok with one random Storm Trooper having the ability to think for himself.

I just have to say this:
My six year old IDOLIZES Han Solo. He has been his favorite character forever. He was sooo stoked when Han came on the scene. He and I high fived in the theatre.
I will never forget the look on his face when Kylo killed Han. He looked up at me and said, "Daddy, is Han Solo dead?"
And I said, "Yeah, buddy, he is."
My kid curled up in a ball on his theatre seat and cried for ten minutes. I totally had to go all dad-comfort mode and couldn't properly mourn myself.
My kid was DESTROYED by that scene. He still loves playing with his BB8/Poe/Rey Legos, but when asked, he says, "That was not a good movie."
quote:you probably are not wrong that there is soemthing more at play here - they have successfully programmed thousands or millions....but not him.

quote:Spot on.
1 - Why did they reveal Han as the father so early, and in such a weak way? Having Stoke say YOUR FATHER HAN SOLO was the dumbest way they could reveal that. Sure, we all thought it might be a possibility, but if I was editing the film, I would have created a little tension. I would have shown the scene with Kylo and Darth, had him say the grandfather line, then teased at Luke being the father a couple of times, before having Han later call out BEN, and then revealing him as the father. I just felt like that really lost a lot of steam.
quote:good point. Also would have worked if Han had revealed it during his conversation with Leia - "I saw our son"

quote:It's also worth noting, not to bring back those damn animated things again, that in the Clone Wars series there were several incidents of clone toopers struggling to perform their duties, do things they didn't agree with morally, etc. So even among the clones there's some precedent there.quote:I think that's a fair concern.

Maybe stormtroopers breaking out of their mold isn't that uncommon. There's so many of them, too, so finally 1 has a mental "wake-up call" and manages to get out. It is a bit far fetched maybe, but not totally out of the realm of possibility in my opinion.

OK, here's a fun theory. Remember in ESB, when Luke leaves Dagobah, Ghost Ben says "that boy was our last hope." Yoda replies "no, there is another." Well, for years everyone assumed that Yoda was talking about Leia. What if Yoda was talking about the future? Moreover, what if Luke's lightsaber (like The One Ring) decided that Luke wasn't the best bet and "escaped" on Cloud City in order to be "lost" and "found" by the next Skywalker descendant?

Here's a question: would you be angry if you never find out who Rey's mother is?
It's not like we know who Anakin's father is (assuming that we've officially killed the Baby Jesus stuff from Lucas).
