Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[Darth Snoopy]

After school today I got into an accidental conversation with another teacher and three students about TFA and it was refreshing to actually talk about the movie with genuine SW fans face to face.

We chatted about what we liked and disliked about the movie; in the end we all agreed that we either liked or loved TFA.

It was very cool.

Words and names can take on multiple meanings in culture that aren't strictly used as their definition intends.


****** for example. So when people say that Kylo Ren is an emo **** ****ing ****** *****, I know what they're talking about. I don't know how it emerged in the past decade or so, but it is what it is.






Ooh, that's another one . . . I think.

Yeah I get what they mean but we freaks should come up with a better way of expressing it.....

and c***-blockades!

****ing Nute that stupid ****.

In Return of the Jedi, we see Anakin’s light side apparition join Obi Wan and Yoda at the end of the film…

perhaps Snoke isn’t a hologram at all… perhaps he is Anakin’s dark side spirit manifestation…

the scars are similar… as we know nothing of the dark returning, perhaps it ages / transforms with exertion (much like Palpatine in ROTS)… perhaps the “Darth Plagueis” musical cue is more a hint at the dark side cheating death and returning in ghostly form…. perhaps as the "chosen one", while Anakin's light side prevailed, it didn't mean the dark just dissipated...

I really hope that Snoke's hologram was to scale. I thought it was so awesome when he was introduced and he appeared to be a giant. Very cool and different. But the Emperor's first appearance in ESB was a giant hologram too so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Wait until you have to explain Han's ghost!

I hope not. That would be really silly, plus it would mean that he's connected in some way to the Skywalker family and that just makes that galaxy feel very tiny, which it already feels that way, imo.

What if Snoke is diminutive, like a corrupt Yoda? He just "projects" himself big to be.... bigger.

Would you still love a little Snoke...?

The guy who does the voice said that Snoke is 7' feet tall.

i am thinking of it more like the "Yin and Yang" of the force... the Chosen One's light prevailed... doesn't mean the dark fades away.

 

[Khev]

Maybe. He could have an epic battle with Poe where he slithers through his flight suit the way Mini-Me did when battling Austin Powers.

I wonder where Episode 8 will pick up. Pull a LOTR/Hobbit and start right out with Rey and Luke by the cliff or years later like the OT where she's already more advanced. I guess they can't pick up RIGHT where TFA left off or there'd be nothing to say in the opening scroll.

Yes I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if he were here, he'd consume the Resistance with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse!

"Guy who does the voice?" Oy vey...

 

[The Ween]

Oh man, there's going to be a lot of shirtless high fiving around here for the next couple of years

I can only hope!

High five, Khev!

The LOTR guy...whatever his name is. He also said Snoke is not Plagueis...but he could be lying.

Keep throwing this word around.....and no one is using it correctly....

Emo /ˈiːmoʊ/ is a style of rock music characterized by expressive, often confessional, lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.

No dude, they're using it correctly, I'm a millennial, I witnessed with disgust people my same age go through that stage when it became a fad, back then many would've told you "emo" wasn't a genre of music, because it has nothing to do with that earlier "emo" music you talk about, think about it as a current like "hipsters", it was more fashion than actual music, they were basically scene kids and they were called emo, what was their personality? Well, like Kylo's no better way to describe him, 1st world/privileged kids crying over made up problems, they appropriated the "emo" term and now it's all anyone remembers.

Hell, the hipsters you see now were probably the emos back then do an "emo" image search on google and see what you'll find.

Some girls were cute though, but the guys were total ***ets.

I just googled "emo guy" and you're right, they look like Kylo Ren...pale, long black hair, hoodie, and sad looking
