MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sorry Bob. Go ahead Steve, I want to read more from you about the film, Kylo Ren. btw, I really liked him at first. And I did like the "repeat", just the rest seemed lacking in a twist of some kind, so maybe that was it for me? I dont know. POST AWAY STEVE, POST AWAY..... Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think they did a good job with the movie.. I think its a very good stand alone movie, also it has a lot of back story development as well. I loved how they got a lot of the characters like R2D2 and C3po involved, even though they didnt need to be for the plot.. I really really wished there was Yoda, as he is my favorite of all time..The yellow woman like creature was Yoda like but not Yoda.. Maybe i am missing something did Yoda die previously? He doesnt die I thought, he is 900 years old..I am a big Star Wars fan, but I dont know all the little things that connect all the characters Mark Hamill has a 5 minute scene, but he is a major character and is a huge part of the plot.. I CANT WAIT TILL May 26, 2017 Then it looks like May 2019 for episode 9.. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I apparently missed it the first time Yoda was present, in voice only..I need to see this movie a few times. Link to post Share on other sites

iBeaver 409 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yeah yoda, Ben, and ewans voice were heard when Rey touched the light saber. It adds to the question of who she belongs to. Is she lules kid? Is she a Kenobi? Is she Han/Leias kid this Kylos sister? Habe to leave to pick up Jin. I'll post more later. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm curious as to whether Steve buys into the kylo ren theory. This one : http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/seriously-dont-click-this-if-you-havent-seen-tfa-yet#.uu5ZOdB83 Link to post Share on other sites

This one : http://www.buzzfeed....-yet#.uu5ZOdB83 Isnt being "conflicted and torn" all about being dragged to the dark side by his thoughts and emotions? Isnt that what happened to Anakin, and didnt he also have conflicts about it before fully immersing himself in it? He's just at the first stage, isn't that what Snoke says? hmm, maybe I just need to see this again. btw, there was a time at the start of this movie when I thought maybe Luke was Kylo Ren Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Also, I loved the Rey character too. Fin I was so-so on, I am hoping like Steve (?) said, there's much more to him than we are led to believe. Rey I thought for sure was Leia+Han's other child. I thought that was obvious, but when I left the movie, I got told by my family it wasn't that obvious. I thought brother-sister fight for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The whole time during the movie I was thinking Jennifer Lawrence would of been perfect for the lead role. Lot hotter too. I think she does a great job though Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is Kylo Darth Vaders grandson? Meaning Luke s nephew? Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is Kylo Darth Vaders grandson? Meaning Luke s nephew? have you even seen the movie serge??? Kylo ren is solo/leias son. Luke and leia are bro/sis. Vader is Luke's/leias father. Ren is Luke's nephew. Link to post Share on other sites

iBeaver 409 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 There's gotta be more to Finn. Why did he just suddenly turn. I like to pretend he's Landos kid but that's just for laughs. I guess Sammuel Jackson was at some function with Finn and came up to him and said something to the effect "My son!" Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 My cynicism: Luke's role was written as such to avoid having Mark Hamill act/speak. lol I've never thought he was a good actor frankly. Link to post Share on other sites

He's rumored to start acting in the next film. I agree with you though. Never liked his performance. I'm now torn (heh) on my theories on Kylo after reading that buzzfeed article. I feel my life has been a lie the last 4 days. Lol Link to post Share on other sites

Swacker Dave 89 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ok... moving this here.... I too was thoroughly entertained by the movie, didn't bother me at all that it was somewhat cookie cut from IV... Disney needs a reboot for this generation so why not have them experience similarities to the first, the returning actors were used in a great way (mostly, aside from R2 the doorstop) and the new characters are so likable. Now, onto the spoilerish part. I know there is a ton of speculation that Rey is Skywalkers daughter... I read a much more interesting post that was quite convincing in the idea that she is Anakin reincarnate. Considering all the powers she seems to possess (like being able to fly the Falcon like a pro... who was the best star pilot in the Galaxy? ) it's a convincing idea. The whole continuing plot of the Star Wars series is based around the Skywalker family so either one of those options seems to fit. Can't wait to find out in a couple years how they play it.

iBeaver 409 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Great article against the plethora of click bait articles bashing the new movie. https://m.facebook.com/notes/matty-granger/at-long-lastmy-star-wars-episode-vii-review-the-force-awakens-the-rise-of-idiot-/10153163095086277/ Also for Arp regarding the rehashing of plot lines in SW. http://www.starwarsringtheory.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I did not read this but Star Wars was on the box yesterday when I checked. It however was in Spanish. I sit and wait. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I watched this last night. Liked it a lot, maybe even loved it. It was everything good about Episode 4 (simple, clear story, memorable characters, excellent pacing, full of wonder), without everything bad about episode 4 (bad acting, awful special effects, lame villain) I thought Rae was Luke's daughter when watching the film, I thought it was heavily implied, but my wife did not agree, so I don't know. After watching all of the original trilogy recently(although I confess I got bored/sleepy and never finished return of the Jedi), my rankings are: 7 (by a country mile), 5,4,6 Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 forgot to mention, I think the worst part of the movie was Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia. While Harrison Ford maintained his screen presence over the years, I didn't really buy Fisher/Leia as a general/former princess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Swacker Dave 89 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah, she's all short and plumpy now... Mouth can't move anymore when she talks.... funny, She could have played Maz, then she would have at least been in a mask. Link to post Share on other sites
