Bongo Bill posted:I didn't notice the first time in the scene where Kylo is trying to read Rey's mind to get the fragment of the map she saw, he says "You know I can take what I want" and then he sees Rey's dream of an island in an ocean. But neither of them realize that is exactly what he wants - Luke's exact location, which Rey had dreamed of.  good catch

I was so pleasantly suprised that the Rey/Ren saber duel wasn't some video game kung fu thing, but an honest to god fight. It reminds me alot of the new mad max in the way it ignores the conventions of 2010 blockbuster making. I mean I heard JJ abrams saying he wanted to make a old school star wars over and over again but I still couldn't believe it until I finally saw the movie.

So I think Fin must be force sensitive. Notice the faint cries in the scene where he notices the four planets being destroyed, and how he seems much more effected by it then Rey was?

Does anyone know about D-box for this movie, is it fun? Never been to a D-box showing but I noticed that not all the IMAX showings here were sold out today, but all the D-box ones were. D-box costs $2 more and we're in poorsville so I was pretty surprised.

Don't you hate it when you wait 30 years for a movie, and then when you go to see it, the lady sitting next to you is one of those people who somehow made it to middle-age having never learned that you're not supposed to vocalize every thought that enters your brain in a theater?

From what I can tell there's just a shitton of rumble during certain scenes, like when Poe Dameron is in his X-Wing shooting at Stormtroopers.

I saw this today and liked it. I really enjoyed Finn's characterization. At first I thought it would be offputting that he was so quirky, ready to cheer/joke and be kinda weird, but really, someone conscripted and raised in a super constrained social setting would probably be exactly that when encountering "real people" for the first time. I expected a dark, brooding PTSD guy, but he was popping off grins and sneering that they did, in fact, have a garbage compactor and I loved it. I liked it, I felt like Starkiller was a step too far towards ANH, but hopefully now that they've laid out a good, familiar, sound foundation, we can get to more original ideas. There's certainly gonna be more than enough chances since we're getting one of these a year from now until forever (and I am A-Okay with that).

More theaters should adopt the Drafthouse model. I was generous because of course some guys are gonna be geeking out but it's nice to know that you can complain if folks ams beings dildos.

We're a minority, those of us who think Finn is Force sensitive. Opening night I was like 99% sure Finn was Force sensitive, but after my second screening I've got my doubts.

Maybe Finn is like Leia in the OT- not quite "future Jedi" but gets tuned in to the Force a bit.

With a title like "The Force Awakens", I was kinda expecting to see more Force Sensitives than we got I think it would be an interesting concept if Rey, Poe, and Finn are all Force Sensitive, but Rey is the only one that goes on to train and develop her powers. Finn is sensitive, but maybe not gifted enough to make much of himself as a Jedi, and Poe only has a tiny knack for it? I dunno, just a thought

I don't think Finn is/will be Force sensitive. The woman is the lightsaber swinging hero this time, and that's neat. I don't know what he ends up being though. Poe is the rogueish pilot, Rey is the Jedi (and flies too), I think Finn has the most blank slate going into Ep. 8. He's not a Jedi, he ain't a pilot, but he's fine at shooting things, though. Maybe he'll step into more of a soldier role just with the Resistance instead of the First Order. Or maybe he actually is paralyzed after his fight with Kylo and he becomes some sort of tactician like Leia in ANH and ESB?

A good example? Han Solo. I love Rey being Force-sensitive and the next generation of Jedi. I do not want the entire new cast of TFA to have some kind of clairvoyance, or other power. One strong Force user is enough because I want to enjoy the other characters for different reasons

Besides which, they explicitly have the little wizened goblin character say "I am no Jedi, but I know the Force," and clearly actually have some sensory connection. They opened the gate. Force for everyone!!

Yeah, they should have spent more time focused on the X wing pilots or some of the other cool characters. Although I'm guessing that the sequences that felt out of place were probably shoved in to sell toys; it's like all the crazy poo poo in Jurassic World that made no sense for the film but probably made tens millions from merchandising.

One thing I liked about Rey was how she started developing weird psychic powers while captured and she decided to just roll with it, and it was only when Kylo Ren was trying to get her to stand down that she realized "Oh, right, the Force."

I like that it's like "Oh poo poo, the Force is real? And I can, you know, use it maybe? Guess I'll try some of these things I heard about in nursery rhymes and fairy tales and oh wow this guy really is letting me go I can't believe that worked." The Force really does feel more like mysticism again. There's maybe three dudes in the entire galaxy who knows what it is, but now it's waking up and people are gonna start finding it out for themselves.

I dunno, just a thought I agree with this, in so far as the story gives a reason why we didn't go into the movie with the next generation of Jedi already established. Ben Solo wiping out the first group of students explains that the process started soon after RotJ and failed. It also then allows gives an excuse why after 30 years, we would finally see the students which "stick" and officially become the next generation.

A similar idea was introduced by Lor San Tekka, Max von Sydow's character who dies at the beginning. Apparently he's a member of some sort of Church of the Force?

Zomborgon posted:The buttons on lightsabers always looked way too huge and cartoony. What's wrong with covered slide switches? Something more recessed would ensure there's no way of accidentally pressing it, whether upon pulling the saber out or while in use. Because it's a prop in a movie JFC. (This is literally the answer. It needs big cartoony greebles because a more ergonomic design wouldn't have visible tech stuff on it. It would just look like a cheap tube of metal. Which it is. Until they put the "too huge and cartoony" greebles on it.)

I could see Finn having a more passive/empathic connection with the Force, i.e., he doesn't wield the Force overtly like Rey or Ben (mind tricks, mind reading, telekinesis, etc.) but instead is more attuned to sensing the emotions of others, giving him an innate urgency to help those in need. Like, he can be good enough of a Jedi to wield a lightsaber, but he'll never be able to stop a blaster bolt mid flight.
