Star Wars Spoilers Thread [Spoilers]

So here's my review: 100% a Star Wars film which belongs with the original trilogy.

It's a transitional film, but it does it well. The new generation is really good.

I think the major death was kinda signposted a bit. You knew it was coming long before it happened. I felt worse for Chewie, but he, Rey, and BB8 make a great team.

Is this the first Star Wars film where nobody gets their hand cut off?

Luke lives in Ireland, eh?

Question: WHY was there a map to Luke, and why was it split into two? I feel like I missed something. For that matter, why a map and not just some coordinates? Seems like a random puzzle set up for the sake of it.

And fortunately, in this case, we had Han and Leia, showing that despite their long estrangement, they still had feelings for each other, and still shared some hope for their son.

Yeah, their scenes were great. And I liked that the movie didn't try to focus on any new romance. Its a trilogy, there is plenty of time.

1. Fin can't understand droid beeps. He says so.
2. Fin calls Kylo Ren "Ren". I don't think it's a title, I think the Knights of Ren are named after Kylo Ren.

Ben calls Darth Vader "Darth" in ep4.

Ben calls Darth Vader "Darth" in ep4.

Indeed he does, clearly a line written before Lucas decided Darth was a title not a name.

 

[Umbran]

Ben calls Darth Vader "Darth" in ep4.

Yeah, and that's probably much like a curse when Kenobi says it.

It isn't like Finn knows the meaning of much of anything, having grown up to be a Stormtrooper.

"Only a master of evil, Darth."

-Hyp.

Fair point.

Forgot to mention: my cousins reminded me that Carrie Fisher's voice acting (Leia) was pretty bad. Really deep and rash. Her makeup was used, well but her voice was bad.

I think the rest of the acting in the movie was good, though I admit that I'm easily impressed. Was there any other obvious bad acting that I missed?

 

[doctorbadwolf]

Ah. But Finn was a stormtrooper. One thing he almost certainly knows is the proper way to address a Knight of Ren. And unlike Kenobi and Vader, there is no familiarity there, no bitter memory of friendship betrayed, or the cold familiarity of long time enemies.
I can't imagine Finn using Kylo Ren's familiar name. He wasn't trying to show up, like with Phasma.

About Carrie Fisher. Huh? Her acting was bad because her voice was older and rougher? No. She was great, her voice just isn't the same as when she was in her twenties or whatever.

Yea, I liked Carrie Fisher's acting a lot in this. The first time I saw it the last parting of Han and Leia was touching, the second time I saw the movie it broke my freaking heart.

I thought it must have just been me and what I know, but upon seeing it a third time I've noticed that she does play the scene both ways. As if she hated to see him go, again, and yet somehow knowing it was the last time ever.

But the tired joke of SW is that one person/fighter ALWAYS makes the difference...

The Imperials should have learned that by now, you'd think.

#46: If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?", I will reply "This." and kill the advisor.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

"What can one Rebel Pilot do?"
"Save the criffing world, if pressed."
