So is Max Von Sydow going to have a bigger role? Seemed a waste to cast such a huge name.

Waiting for our dinner and drinks to arrive and the movie to start:


You all watched TFA while sitting in a comfy recliner and drinking wine and eating dinner in a room with nobody under 21, right?

To each their own but this movie meant to be seen on the biggest and loudest screen possible with as many people as possible.

Finn was jolted because his entire career he was a janitor and that was his 1st combat mission (he says this if I recall correctly) and he's broken immediately. I am sure the other stormtroopers are put through the reconditioning system if they display the same behavior. It's why Phasma knew what to do. But in this case before they could get him into the system he was escaping with Poe.

Otherwise that plot wouldn't happen as he'd be a stone cold killer.

So the dozens of artists who did the work on that scene all had the exact same intent? How do you know this? Can you list who did everything and their particular thoughts on the First Order?

This is an amazing ability you have. I wish I could read the minds of dozens of people based on a film they worked on.

Its ok - the prequels were bad movies. Just accept it.

He freezes Rey when he's had enough of her shooting at him then just says gently caress it and knocks her unconscious, bringing her limp body aboard his shuttle.

Of course this is before she unlocks her true potential and combines her previously shown fighting prowess with unhinged force benefits. But even then Kylo Ren was psychologically and physically injured.

But nah, he's a loving pussy compared to Marvel movie villains (lol).

It's a dumb scene that idiots have latched onto being so important when in reality it was when Han and Chewie sit down with Obi Wan the first time discussing things you get to see how much of an rear end in a top hat he is. Who cares about loving Greedo.

They killed off two potentially good characters in Qui Gon Jinn and Darth Maul. Instead of leaving them alive and to see what happens next - most things are all tied up and then FLASH FORWARD - remember that time Obi Wan? gently caress??

Honestly, in Episode One, it's kinda hard to see why Anakin could become such a monster.

But within the first scene that he shows up in Attack of the Clones, you're like "Oh. That's why.


I dont see this - he's in a elevator chuckling with Obi Wan about some adventure.

In the OT? Not really. Obi-Wan is a liar and a manipulator who hides both of Luke's living family members from him. Yoda's good at the Force but he also thinks the only way to win is to kill someone.

I just picked up the art book and HOLY poo poo - this is no mere book of pictures, this is an awesome, in depth look at the Star Wars universe. Im barely in and already having my eyes widen. There was a picture of a "primitive" lighsaber, just a crystal wrapped in string and a trigger.

"All this aluminum-milled stuff, that's all for safety and styling"

Harrison Ford was early seen being like Jeff Bridges in True Grit, long, swept back hair and a full beard. Would have been awesome.

That Grievous fight is so loving bad. And im not here to praise the Tartakovsky cartoon as that was over the top. Ewan McGregor is just flailing around in quick cuts to hide the fact that he had no idea what was going on. He stands there motionless as a giant beast unleashes four loving lightsabers.

Look at the cut scene from the TFA trailers when Finn quickly glances as Kylo ignites his saber. Something like that was needed as Obi Wan realizes this is a huge loving deal. It's poor directing.

Then later its twice shown that Grievous is insanely tough - physically that is - he punches a dent into a ship and when Obi Wan kicks him he recoils in pain - yet he takes a direct punch to the face and is fine? gently caress off.
