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

Hamill looks tiny- is he that short or is Ridley that tall?

Just looked up Daisy. She's 5'7".

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Isn't he supposed to be in a baby carrier backpack?

That's freaking AWESOME! I love how much fun they're having this these as it absolutely is translating to the screen.

In ROTJ it hits a vent pipe inside the DS causing it to lose its radar dish.

In TFA it comes out of hyperspace and crashes thru a ton of trees and ground and not even a scratch.

Boooo.

They're trees dude. If you hit something at Mach 200 which do you think will budge first? Some wood sticking out of loose dirt or a piece of the freaking Death Star?

Besides you can easily rationalize that Lando had shields positioned in the rear to deflect TIE fighter blasts while Han had shields full power in the front for his crash landing. If the Falcon shields can withstand such a massive blast from a Star Destroyer in ESB that it literally rocks the entire ship without visible damage I can handle it plowing through some trees.

Well now I learned something new... Assuming this is true about the PT (I don't know them as well at all) but it is true about TFA.

Yet one more way that AOTC and ROTS half-assed something compared to the other films.

Vader/Emperor arrival onto DS in ROTJ remains very powerful, very epic.

Nothing in TFA can touch that.

The MF escape in TFA is the best part of the movie, but part of me still wishes it was Han flying it as we were made to think in the trailers.

The MF landing on Starkiller base is just way too much abuse without damage to the Falcon that I can take though.

Boooo.

Well, like many vehicle enthusiasts, Han had the Falcon simonized.

Good thing Hamill shed some pounds, or Daisy might be hurting right now.

Good thing Leia's not training her.

Leia does have access to a lot of "Performance Enhancers", though apparently they eventually make you look like Palpatine.

The goofballs no doubt took their toll but I think the real damage was done by this guy -

Ouch!

When is he finally going to get His license revoked! Everyone comes out looking like they went into a Brundel pod with their housecat.

Ok you both convinced me, TFA needs reenforcement points.

And of course Superman naturally looks more evil than a freaking fleshless Terminator. Even the Endo looks like he's thinking "Is this psycho for real?"

@ Jye!

I will say that TFA has completely redeemed ROTJ for me. What for years had been a dubious "gateway to the PT" with its merchandise friendly teddy bears and first steps down the dark road of characters just sitting around talking to each other and unconvincing 2D backgrounds is now a charming and unique change of pace from the other three films.

I never stopped liking the space battle and moments like Luke going off on Vader or the funeral pyre but now I can just appreciate the whole movie from beginning to end as just its own thing.

I really like that SW (outside of the prequels obviously) continues to be an ongoing saga where each chapter is brought to life by a new director, from Rogue One all the way to the end of the Sequel Trilogy.

You need to watch that Ewok video JAWS introduced me to, it will change your views on those cuddly furry fuzz balls.
