Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Firstly, fuck the guy sat 2 rows ahead of me who decided to check Facebook for the entirety of the Kylo Ren and Han Solo scene. Seriously? What the fuck?

Secondly, I loved it. It's easily better than the prequels but I'll need to see it again to see how it compares to the originals. I really liked Kylo Ren and his struggles but was a little disappointed when it looked like he was going to turn back to the light. I cried when he planted his lightsaber into Han's chest

Also regarding Rey. I believed that she was Han and Leia's child until she touched the lightsaber, at that point I was firmly in the 'she's Luke's daughter' camp which helped me believe she could channel the force so quickly after realising she had some control over it.

I'm sure it's been said, but if you've seen this one you probably don't need to bother with the originals. It's a womp rat reference short of a greatest hits effort.

They need to get over Vader. He was great. They fucked him up forever. Stop trying to make new versions of him.

I wonder how big the next deathstar is going to be.

I saw this at the cinema but would like to watch it again, is there any good streams now?

[Gray Fox]

I wouldn't mind seeing this again. I was on the fence on whether I really liked it or was just blinded by some nostalgia.

[Lewis]

Please don't say you actually cried.

[Yevrah]

I still haven't seen it but the impression I get from those who have is that it's one of the most derivative things ever.

Fair comment?

[Raoul Duke]

It's hard to be objective. If you're like me and you love Star Wars then you'll go bananas for it. If you don't then it's alright.

I don't think you could say it's a bad film, even if you don't know/care about the SW "universe".

[Ian]

Star Wars is Star Wars.

Adults definitely like Minions, look at how 99% of inspirational/sassy quotes shared on Facebook are illustrated.

My favourite of those was in the immediate aftermath of the Paris attacks. Some quote about minions protecting eachother despite not all being the same, conveniently forgetting that if minions were real they'd be working for ISIS.

Snoke was menacing and enigmatic. Not sure why he's recieving this reaction.

I thought he was the worst part of the film.

The little rolly droid was the best thing about it. There were maybe ten chuckles in the film and at least half of them came from him.

Another one coming this December. Looks like every December from here on out is going to be Star Wars month.

Looks good too.

[Giggles]

Is this an out of the blue announcement or were Disney always planning .5 episodes?

[hfswjyr]

Well, you don't just accidentally make a multi-million dollar movie teaser... so they've obviously been planning this strategy for awhile.

Not sure if it was publicly known though. It would probably be the world's worst kept secret if they tried to keep it under wraps.

[Alex]

I think they always planned an "anthology" film between releases of the main episodes. I think the young Han Solo one is slated for 2018, between episodes 8 and 9.

[Browning]

It was very much known. This was published in December:

Showing this plus 2 more movies in addition to episodes 8 and 9. I could have sworn I'd seen more confirmed too... but I could be wrong.

Edit- Just found the original article I read, and guess it was just those. 7, 8 and 9 with Rogue One, Han Solo and Boba Fett after each one.

[Pleb]

I think they want to 10-12 as well which is lol.

[Alex]

They did pay $4 Billion for the rights to it. Might as well make the most of them.

[Giggles]

I'd watch all bar the Boba Fett one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think Boba Fett might be the best tbh.

Although maybe I'm biased because I fucking love Boba.

[Byron]

So this is basically 7.5?

[Gray Fox]

Rogue One fits in between the last of the prequels and A New Hope. So 3.5 technically.
