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

[spindrift]

With everything I read on this board, it's probably time to admit that I don't love Star Wars. Because I don't hate it enough.

Thanks! Good to be honest- if you aren't rubber stamping love about everything SW people get mighty upset..read the TFA thread.

RO has me semi-worried but loved TFA

 

[Wor-Gar]

If Kennedy only hired self professed prequel lovers then who would have made TFA? WWEJedi, DiFabio and Rick McCallum? No thanks.

Don't forget SKINT.

 

[Khev]

Don't forget SKINT.

Yes but since neither has responded I should clarify that I was just messing with WWEJedi and DiFabio. My point stands though, only hiring people who "respected" what George did with the prequels wouldn't have been a good recipe for success.

Unforgettable cute moment beautiful in HD

Agreed. One of the best little moments of the entire film.

 

[jye4ever]

Got to watch this today in my brother's movie theater all by my lonesome as I was tweaking his set up all afternoon, had a great time with it!

 

[DiFabio]

If I made a Star Wars movie I promise you guys would like it and I wouldn't ponder to certain *ahem* audiences like Disney is. There wouldn't be any prequel references or Mary Sues or soft remakes, I promise you. I'd make Star Wars great again.

 

[jye4ever]

Could you please undo that emo fruitcake killing Han.

 

[Khev]

I'd make Star Wars great again.

Sure you would...

 

[koon]

We all need to...

I forgot about that sweet moment. Was Rey teaching Chewie how to be a co-pilot?

 

[DiFabio]

Sure you would...

Hubba, hubba, money, money, who do ya trust!?

TFA was a great, safe rehash of ANH. But I expect things to really get interesting with Ep VIII. There will be much comparison with the PT.

I love the sweet moments they wrote on this, the cinematography just makes the scene special







Abrams did a great job with letting them feel the characters

I wonder if Han knew who she was

 

[Bo Shrek]

I hope they keep Chewie on as co pilot!

 

[pixletwin]

Han definitely knew more about her than he let on.

 

[Bo Shrek]

It's her daughter. They separated Rey and Ben when Kylo was being seduced. To protect her and then because she was the more powerful of the two siblings.

very doubtful. Why would they discuss trying to get Kylo back and not even bring up a daughter they abandoned on a desert planet...?

Watching it again, as great as I remembered, but geesh Carrie Fisher, she's 59 and looks 80!

I hate saying this but Carrie Fisher ruined half the movie for me.

If it weren't for Harrison Ford and Daisy Ridley, that entire sequence would've felt straight out of the Prequels. It kinda does anyway. It doesn't bother me as much as it did on first viewing, though. And it gets easier to "digest". Mainly because Han is so great there.

What a shame that they brought in the dudes from The Raid...just so that they could stand around and be eaten by a cgi monster, such a waste of talent.

That being said, really enjoying viewing this at home, even the dumb RATHTAR scene has slightly improved.

I guess it didn't like dark meat because it didn't eat Finn right away, although it did eat the brown asian dudes so who knows, maybe it was full already.

I loved everything about that scene. You guys are bonkers.[emoji1]

Han definitely knew more about her than he let on.

I agree

That's the feeling I got from that scene.

 

[Bo Shrek]

Han is impressed at all she remembers of his teachings flying the falcon! There is a reason why she is only called REY!
