The Force Awakens - Figure discussion (with SPOILERS!)

[Johnny Utah]

The film is out now, I could do with a few new announcements or teasers. HT would be wise to capitalize on the hype with a HT Han Solo and Luke.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Saw the film earlier today and have mixed feelings. Still digesting it and perhaps some time or a second viewing will help.

I thought I was watching "A New Hope 2.0", for the most part. There were some differences, obviously, but the similarities struck me with each scene...

- Another desert planet
- Another Cantina scene
- Another Death Star
- Another Death Star attack
- Another flight of the Millennium Falcon and X-wings exiting the area of the exploding DS...

Ship designs were bleh. The ships were always characters in their own right, with unique designs based on where they came from.
Why only X-wings version 2.0? Why no B-wings, Y-wings and A-wings 2.0?

But there were many other elements that I truly enjoyed. So in the end, for me, it was a good Star Wars movie but not one that blew me away, as did "Empire", for example.

As for figures, prior to seeing the film, I thought I was going to be pulled into getting a majority of them. Now after seeing the film, I'm really only interested in the following (that have been announced so far...)

Rey and BB8
Finn

"Maybe" Kylo and a basic stormtrooper.

No interest in the other troopers at all.

Rey Finn and Kylo are buys- lost all interest on any of the troopers- even the basic ones

This is pretty much how I feel..............a ship design doesn't make a movie, but some cool stuff could have been done with all the ships

 

[Auel]

I don't see anyone mentioned about Poe's sudden appearance with the resistance, his explanation is just crap. And they think they can just get over with it?

 

[Auel]

The elite series Rey now includes the lightsaber. Fingers crossed hot toys follow suit

Doubt so, you have to get Finn in order to get the lightsaber. He's the first to hold it anyway

 

[QuiGonFishing]

but I think they should include her more now that Harrison won't be returning.

Hmmmmm.....Remember you said this next year.

My question is, is Rey Luke's daughter?

Yes...


Anyone else..?

 

[ThatDarnGamer]

Doubt so, you have to get Finn in order to get the lightsaber. He's the first to hold it anyway

That would be scandalous. Rey does much more with the lightsaber and she is the first to touch it.

 

[WWEJedi]

Technically Rey is when she picks it up.

 

[Auel]

Technically Rey is when she picks it up.

The first weilder is Finn isn't it? If they show the Lightsaber with Rey now it would spoil the movie for most I suppose. But there's a leak image of a Black Series Rey with the new costume and lightsaber.

 

[Matt S]

I do not think Rey and Luke are related.....

 

[Auel]

I do not think Rey and Luke are related.....

Maybe Snoke is her father, you'll never know.

Yeah. First person to wield and use the lightsaber is Finn. First person to actually see it and pick it up is Rey. Either way, the saber should be included with both Rey and Finn.

 

[WWEJedi]

I do not think Rey and Luke are related.....

People are saying Rey is Obi-Wan Kenobi's daughter.

 

[Auel]

People are saying Rey is Obi-Wan Kenobi's daughter.

Isn't the age too far apart? that's quite absurd.

 

[Matt S]

Isn't the age too far apart? that's quite absurd.

He probably left a frozen sample on Kamino....

 

[OutLander]

Interestingly, Finn comes with a bag that i don't remember him with in the movie when Rey is clearly the one using it at some point.

It's a man purse.

 

[Auel]

It's a man purse.

Finn has all the accessories that Rey should have. Good strategy by HT to make you get the pair.

 

[WWEJedi]

Isn't the age too far apart? that's quite absurd.

Rey is only 19, so definatley

He probably left a frozen sample on Kamino....

 

[Darkseed]

Kylo and Rey brother and sister....she was removed from the order when Kylo began going dark.
