I'm going to go see it in IMAX 3d again today, hopefully it's just as fun second time around. I haven't seen a movie twice in cinemas ever, that's how much I enjoyed this movie.

The :sperg: in me was put off by Death Star 3 and the destruction of, apparently, the entire New Republic and its military. If the First Order had a fully operational superweapon that could just destroy poo poo at will, why didn't they just do that? gently caress fighting the Resistance/Republic, just blow up their planets until they yield. I think that was the original plan, before the Mujaheed er um the Resistance blew it up. Straight up blow up planets till they win.

Nah they kept loving around looking for Poe and his droid. gently caress Poe, just blow up every planet that the Resistance and Republic are on. Once Luke turns up, blow up that planet too.

I recall a throwaway line about the weapon only being able to be used a few times due to the destruction of the sun that it caused? Did anyone else remember that?

I guess I'm probably the last one to see this, but it owned. Enjoyed it a hell of a lot despite having both Jedi-Rey and Kylo Ren killing Han spoiled before. Only about 20 people in the theater at 8:30 too, not so much because of the time, but probably because we had below zero degrees this morning. On the one had it really felt like a Star Wars movie should be done while seeming like it recycled a bunch from episode IV. I was pretty okay with Kylo Ren and his anger tantrums while Boyega's acting range is that of a wet towel. Ford completely outclassed everyone in acting, but it didn't feel off because of how they interacted. Happy to see that robots/aliens are no longer complete doofuses and almost all of the gags had me laughing, thumbs up BB-8 had the entire theater (okay, all 20 people) in stitches. Finn's "yeah, of course I'm resistance, that's how we all look" was kinda awkward-funny. Han owned, Death Star MkIII owned (*), Rey owned, Poe (?) owned, X-Wings owned, dogfights owned, lightsaber fights owned (especially because they didn't try to go over the loving top with new poo poo), Leia didn't age well and didn't own a whole lot. Criticism: - Finn's turning from New Order to Resistance took like 3 loving minutes, but I guess it was cool that they didn't spend toooo much time setting poo poo up and instead making the whole episode being a solid setup for the next two - During their escape, Poe and Finn take out two turbolaser turrets, celebrate wildly, dude on the bridge goes "They've destroyed our turbolasers, guess that's all we got"...  ...other guy goes "Welp, what else we got? Fire the ventral cannons"- After the superweapon takes out 4/5 planets, Finn runs over to Poe and yells "It was the New Order!" or something. That and a bunch of other really obvious revelations felt kinda awkward - "Starkiller Base"...really? And finally, the (*):  : I used to be a lowly foot-soldier in the New Order, here's how their totally-not-deathstar works and here's its one weak spot : Okay, let's go for that!*planetside*  : So kid, which division were you in that you know all that poo poo?: lol, I just made that poo poo up, i was a janitor. : ...: But seriously, though, let's shut their shields down*shuts down shields in like 5 minutes* *meanwhile* Hey, this plan is working out great. Wait, no, it's not. Oh hang on, they blew something up, plan's fine again. Whoop, there she goes!Got a chuckle out of me because death star engineers are the most incompetent dinguses in hollywood history. Really enjoyable movie, though. /edit: Oh, and everyone and their loving brother can now fight with lightsabers and hold their own against apprentice sith lords? /edit2: Sorry for the detailed and boring post, MassivelyBuckNegro, can't help myself Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Dec 30, 2015 |

The lightsaber battle with Kylo is more believable because dude gets shot by a bowcaster before the fight even begins and still wins for the most part, guessing he didnt kill Rey because he was trying to turn her.

Did anyone else think she kind of read his mind after he offers to teach her? And that's how she suddenly stopped being poo poo with a light saber?

Well yeah, at least to a certain extent. Something along the lines of an ocean (the first Jedi temple world, etc) blah blah something something. I think somebody mentioned it earlier, it's almost just as likely that Rey just rolls with the poo poo a hell of a lot better than Luke's, "Wait, what the gently caress? There's no loving way... You want me to do what now?" obstinate heel-dragging. Odds are really really good that she's the current end product of the most powerful force users ever, and in all likelihood has been subconsciously utilizing the Force while living on Jakku like her (probably) daddy and grand-daddy did when they were growing up. Natural genetic predisposition for sensitivity/strength, subconsciously used to using the Force as an extension of her abilities, and a combination of not having the time to question poo poo given circumstances with probably a natural roll with the punches attitude. She did about as well as you could expect given all of that while still being completely untrained versus someone (Kylo) who seems to have been trained (incompletely) by two completely different traditions (Luke and Snoke) plus dude had just got shot by a loving bowcaster.

Oh yeah, that didn't occur to me. I was a little surprised he didn't just deflect the bowcaster shot away like he did with that shot from Poe coming from behind him at the beginning. Also, Finn was perfectly fine with the lightsaber halfway through the film outside of that bar thing. Also, for bonus  -points:What's a Starkiller-base-janitor doing to get transferred to the New Order's flagship and then sent on a raid to retrieve an objective of utmost importance to the New Order on his very first mission. Realtalk: I think it would have been cooler if Finn had quit after a career of being a Stormtrooper, slowly realizing that what he's doing is wrong, instead of being the "perfect" character without ethical conflict in his past. It's 2015, throw us some characters with edges, man.

I also think it's her more emotional nature compared to Luke trying to think about everything. He fights letting it "flow" through him, while she seems to do it pretty naturally. Edit: But after reading that post, the scene where she sits in the rebel helmet suddenly becomes loving brilliant instead of mildly entertaining.

The more I think about it, the more her being an insert for those kids makes sense. Luke Skywalker or Harry Potter seem like obvious comparisons, but she isn't sick of her small farm town or being literally abused by evil step-parents; her life is stable, if hand-to-mouth. The closest analog I can think of is Charlie Bucket. After she does the Rejecting the Call hero's journey bit, she gets kidnapped, and right when all the kids in the audience think, "well I wouldn't wait around to be rescued," Rey goes, "oh right, I'm a space wizard now" and mind controls a guard to escape.
