BB-8. I was joking when I said he was gonna fall down stairs. But he does. Worse? 15 minutes of screentime. Not involved in the plot at all.

Is that real? It's not necessarily a bad thing if

Spoiler

bb8 is not in the film that much.

I'm reading through this page of tweet reviews:

[SPOILERS] Star Wars: The Force Awakens - It's True. All of it. - Page 52 - NeoGAF

There's some real shockers about cameos:

Spoiler

Lobot; Wuher; Calista Flockhart lame gag cameo

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Call it, Hunger Games style

Spoiler

I can see there being backlash over Finn after how the American marketing hyped him up.

Order of cast prominence, in ascending order
5) Driver
4) Boyega
3) BB-8
2) Ford
1)Ridley

Nick Robinson's tweets - they could be false, all of them.

What's this Pastebin thing? Was the film leaked? Dodgy looking links to download the film!

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The positive reviews suggests that this is indeed a very female driven film, so it makes me wonder how are they using the rest of the cast. I guess as long as the story is good, it's ok...I guess.

The scary thing about the list I posted is the

Spoiler

lack of Oscar Issac

That would be a waste of talent, imo.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is ok. I know it's poetry, I know it rhymes, but does every line have to rhyme with the last poem?

Isn't that guy a Marvel/Disney lover?

Most reviews say it's an ok film, so that's good.

So apparently the rumor was true

Spoiler

Kylo kills Han after he says, you're not my father! It's basically a reverse ESB moment.

I guess it's poetry?

OMG...

Kylo Ren sounds like a total

Spoiler

fanboy/cosplayer

Finn

Spoiler

got the Nick Fury treatment and went into a coma..and then there's a love story. Sounds fake

The most disappointing thing is

Spoiler

Luke is only in it for 30 seconds? WTF? He was the only thing I was looking forward to

Patton Oswalt tweeted "JJ did it" all I needed to hear really.

The jury's out as to whether the person actually saw the full film.

Spoiler

Han meets Kylo at the Starkiller base/planet and tries to persuade him to return with him. "I am torn apart, father. But I know what I must do. Can you help me?" - "Of course, my son." They almost embrace. Kylo pierces Han with lightsaber. "Thank you, father." Dead Han falls into the shaft on the Starkiller base. Yes, he is dead. Most definitely.

Seems legit.

I remember being hyped a year ago about this film, and now the release is within a matter of days, can't wait!!!

It might still be a fun film, but the story sounds meh...almost kind of predictable, which is sad because the trailer doesn't give away much about the story, but nothing I read in that list of spoilers was surprising...except for

Spoiler

the lack of Luke

and that's a disappointment, but hopefully the next film makes up for it.

It might be a decent start, and the next film will be the best in the new trilogy.

That's why I think my biggest complaint will be that it was made 30 years too late.

It could have been a proper adventure with the original cast. But because the original cast are too old they're side lined. So now the future of Star Wars in the hands of unknowns who I have no reason to care about.

Spoiler

Ford has a big role in it though

Yeah, this trilogy is about the future...not the past. That was to be expected....and we knew that already. I just wanted

Spoiler

Luke to have a larger role...why did he lose all that weight if he's in a damn cameo?

but there's always the next film.

 

[crows]

Sounds rather plain and I hate to say it, I AM NOT Trolling but the spoiler post sounds a little bit boring.

I guess with all the effects and all the fights it might be cool to see. Maybe it might be awesome to see. Maybe the effects will be amazing.


but that plot line sounds tame,
