Couldn't wait another five days to go see it with the fam so I snuck off to see it this morning. Surprised by how packed the theater was at 9am. I loved it. Movie hit all the right notes.

I hope Abrams gives John Cena a cameo in 8 just as a "gently caress you and your internet pithy poo poo" response

Did anyone else notice how husky Leia's voice was? She sounded pretty rough, I've always heard she partied down with her original trilogy money but jeez.

I was glad Leia was very sparse in the movie but making her the geriatric general of the resistance was just stupid. Give her a scene with Han and then get rid of her because she was painful to watch.

Seeing this in the theater for the first showing was a ton of fun if only for the audience reactions to some of the reveals. Namely, -The Falcon -Anakin's lightsaber -Hearing Snoke confirm Kylo's dad is Han. -And Rey force pulling Anakin's lightsaber.

Another little thing I liked: the bad guy's name is Kylo Ren, not Darth Ren or Darth Kylo. As dumb as the name is, the big bad guy's name is just Snoke, not Darth Snoke. One little thing I hated about the prequels and the EU was that Darth became a title rather than just part of Darth Vader's name. The fact that the bad guy, despite being a massive Vader fanboy, doesn't call himself Darth, tells me that that's not a thing for this.

That's basically what I pieced together in my head. It makes sense. Civil wars don't usually have nice, clean endings.

Well the Republic sure hosed up that Cold War. They must not have touched the First Order's finances since they were able to budget for that mega Planet Killer, somehow. Compared to two dozen X-Wings things got a little lopsided. And planet killers are apparently so common now that no one bats an eye at what must have been billions of deaths?

USMC503 posted:Yeah I had Solo spoiled for me. I figured Han was a dead man as soon as it was announced that he was in the movie. You can probably chalk it up to Rey utilizing emotion much more than Luke. I'm probably going to have to see it again but I think they mentioned something about Luke being at the first Jedi temple, which predates both the Jedi and the Sith? So maybe they're trying to incorporate some of the Revan mythos in. Bolow fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Fister Roboto posted:So does this make Simon Pegg the first person to be in both Star Trek and Star Wars? I thought so, but google says no. If you include the cartoons like Rebels and Clone Wars, there are several Star Trek alums (George Takei, Brent Spiner, Ron Perlman, etc) that did voice work. There are also a couple of Star Trek aliens who were in the Star Wars movies as background characters or aliens, like Felix Silla who was an Ewok and a Talosian in The Cage.
