LOL. Luke was not stronger than Yoda or Obi Wan.

Like most things JJ Abrams, it's a serial story without a plan. They make the **** up as they go and it's telling.

Not a big fan of Star Wars, but took my kids to see it last night. My main observation is that Rey looked hotter in this one than the previous movie.
Don't like the Finn character. The Rose character was dumb. Seems like they wanted to work an Asian in there to make sure they included everyone..
Space glider Leia was not good. At all.
I still don't think Rey "came from nothing". More to the story here that will be revealed eventually.
Yes, that's what I meant.Tmoneyag99 said:
Those dice were already part of the original trilogy. Maybe the dice will get their own origin story?

Wasn't the old Legends/Ye Olde EU story that he won the Falcon at a Sabacc tournament?YellowPot_97 said:
I bet we see Han using those dice to win the Falcon in the Solo movie.

No one has mentioned Luke milking and drinking the Alien
I wonder if Phasma had been played by an unknown rather than a popular actor from Game of Thrones if she would have been better received and people wouldn't have cared that there was no back story.Old Jock 1997 said:
I've also seen a lot of criticism to how little Phasma was used. I don't read the books/comics, so I don't know the backstory there. But let's be honest, Kenner used plenty of small-time characters in the OT that became cult icons and sold really well despite bit roles - Boba Fett, Greedo, etc. Maybe she's the same?
Obviously Boba Fett took on a bigger role in the prequels, so maybe there will be a spin-off a la Rogue One featuring her more?
he should have had Luke drink it straight from the nipple.BassCowboy33 said:AGGies0311 said:

I think that sequence was supposed to be funny, but I'm not sure. It was really awkward and elicited some murmuring from the audience. One of quite a few WTF moments in the film

Interesting, because it has been said multiple times over by Lucas and others that Luke's strength is what anakin's Could have been had he not gotten all of his limbs chopped off and burned to a husk. Anakin was on path to be stronger than Yoda.

I get that. I just think the pacing of the moments was bad. Especially if he's a fan, he should know how fans would react to Luke vanishing after basically promising another showdown. Maybe i'm off here, but I took his 'see you around kid' as we'll confront each other again... not, i'll haunt you later.amercer said:
It sucks, especially for us that grew up with Luke Skywalker, but in the end these movies couldn't be about him. Disney wants my kids to love Star Wars as much as I did, and that's why it's about Rey and Kylo and Poe and Finn etc.
So the options were 1) he goes out like Han 2)he goes out like Obi Wan 3) he goes out like Yoda.
We got a mix of 2&3, and the more I think about it the cooler it is.
Actually he said something along the lines of the texts in the tree wouldn't reveal anything that she didn't already have. And if you look at Finn going through the drawers in the Falcon at the end of the movie, Rey had taken the Jedi texts, verified the second time around for me. So, it was Yoda doing a play on words, because Rey had already taken the books. Or that's the way I interpreted it.Quote:
- I think we're getting into a new type of Jedi with Rey based on Yoda and Luke's dialogue. Yoda said that nothing in the Jedi texts would reveal to Rey anything that wasn't already inside of her. I took this as an explanation of how she's such a powerful force user with minimal training. That comment coupled with Luke's speech to Rey about the nature of the force allowed for a new interpretation of force users not having to fit in a box. I ultimately don't mind that minor alteration from the world-building we had through the original trilogy and prequels.
Her ending didn't make her character any better. It sucks regardless.fig96 said:
Interesting reactions in here from what I've seen (I'm not reading all 30something pages).
Unlike some I really enjoyed it. I can see some of the story nitpicks, but I love that Rey wasn't a Skywalker/Solo/whoever and is just someone with a gift. Having her be someone's daughter was the easy way out, making her an everyday person makes her a lot more relatable. Thought her training with Luke was pretty great as well.
Kylo turning on Snoke was awesome as was the following fight scene, also liked how he imposed his reign on Hux and took over. As we know he's impulsive and immature and that was already his undoing vs Skywalker.
Really enjoyed the Luke/Kylo standoff as well as the resolution of Holgo's character. Was interesting to feel the audience's opinion of her shift as she ended up being a badass, and the lightspeed torpedo was fantastic. Was nice to see a crazy mission fail and have consequences with Finn and Rose, and I enjoyed their little side adventure as well as the overall diversity of places they visited. And the closing shot was pitch perfect.
There were some negatives as well, Poe was a little too impulsive and would probably have been sent to the brig and/or court martialed for his actions. Thought it was a bit too light hearted at times, could've done with a shot or two less of the Porgs in particular. And while I loved Luke tossing away his saber, it definitely cheapens the end of TFA.
As a whole I really liked it, much like TFA it felt like a Star Wars film unlike the prequels. Not sure where to rank it at this point but I'm leaning towards putting it ahead of TFA.
