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

[Prime Clone]

I'm in the block out camp now, Vader is still actually a bad-ass, Purple lightsabers don't exist (yet), and boba is still mysterious. (along with 1000 other things)

I can understand why seeing Boba as a kid might jar (just like seeing Vader as a kid), but I didn't actually mind his back story. It was always rumored he had some connection to the Stormtroopers (or at least Clone Troopers), and the fact he was the last of the clones is kinda cool (now that clones have been retconned out of the OT).

I feel like if they invented a real life neuralizer, like from Men in Black, they could make trillions off of Star Wars fans. Just people coming in who want to forget they ever saw the prequels. But then a few weeks later, they're like "Oh, I should check out the Star Wars prequels, how bad could they be right?" 9 Hours later they're back at the neuralizer. Just a horrible, vicious cycle.

All these great old references...

Is that Dan Ackroyd?

Doctor Detroit, Trading Places, Spies Like Us, Grosse Pointe Blank, Sneakers, and being the glue that holds everything together in the Ghostbusters movies are the only things worth a damn this man has done.

Indy isn't in Indy 4. Old Man Harrison Ford is. As he will be in TFA.

Yup! When you hear his nose whistle when he talks!

I look forward to the inevitable bitching about the HT figure they'll do, that won't have accurate liver spots and tumors.

It wil be incredible filmmaking if they make us not cringe during her scenes.

There's never really needed to be an explanation of colors, even Luke's green one in ROTJ was a departure. Just put it down to Mace being the most powerful Jedi and having his own unique method of construction.

Well tbh... if I remember correctly Ilum was a planet that had the crystals of all colors... How a jedi picked the right one was the force called to you through it... so color may not be the problem.

I thought I remember reading something somewhere that the purple crystals were just extremely rare or something like that. But really, Sam L gets what Sam L wants.... He is One Bad MoFo after all!!! (Except of course for the SW prequels being the worst acting he has ever done!) Also, the force calling you to it was the episode in the Clone Wars cartoon. My question though, what happened if, as a Jedi, you found it and it was red??? Ruh Roh!!

If Leia tries that rope swing in TFA

Use the Force, Luke!

Fisher did go off the deep end a little, didn't she?

 

[jye4ever]

Just a little

Fisher did go off the deep end a little, didn't she?

She looks buoyant enough.

Scientists have determined the Grand Canyon was filled with cocaine for millions of years.

Then Carrie Fisher was born.

Bah.

[Deckard]

At least the supposed leaked script makes sense in regards to Fisher.

Spoiler

Han wants nothing to do with that train wreck and hasn't for years.

 

[jye4ever]

The Divorce Awakens.

 

[cilantropants]

Bah.

It was so hard to watch him try to recreate that comedy magic on the SNL 40th special. Every part of me cringed.

 

[Deckard]

You forgot one.
