I get that, but the setup for ANH was fairly logical. Besides Leia being Luke's sister, that's pretty weird.

I just keep thinking of Trek 09 and Kirk fucking wandering into Old Spock's cave. I don't want that again.

But what about the Luke-lands-at-Yoda's-hut thing a previous poster mentioned? I think that's a pretty apt example of how, at times, the OT wasn't so terribly far off from nuTrek on the convenience scale.

Transwarping to Qo'nos notwithstanding. That's just odd.
 
Apparently John Williams did not conduct the opening main theme or the credits theme sequence to Force Awakens because of his back/health issue. He invited his friend and LA Philharmonic Conductor Gustavo Dudamel conducted both sequences. He confirmed it on his twitter as did the LAPhil instagram account. Not that it matters except to John Williams fans like myself.

That's cool, Dudamel is a monster of a conductor.
 
I was watching the old periscope but it went down. Wasn't sure how to get on their new one.

Thanks for the new link.

I kinda think the driods getting dumped on a remote planet, then getting kidnapped by jawas, then being sold to the skywalkers, to all the crazy shit lol. It's pretty much a random series of events at the start.

Star Wars has always been like that. Obi-Wan stumbling across Luke, Luke finding Yoda on Dagobah immediately etc.
 
It's like 42 here in Vegas right now, feels like 20 though. The wind in this part of the country is legit. Trust me, I know cold -- I was homeless in rural Idaho one winter.

...long story.
 
Plot seems a bit over stuffed as well (worried about how Finn manages the arc of being a Tie Fighter pilot to light saber-wielding guy going up against an experienced force user, in the span of one film with tons of other characters).

Like how Luke got all of his Jedi Master training form Yoda in about 8 hours?
 
stop it you guys. everything about ANH makes sense

Jawas took the droids to Luke's place cause that's what Jawas do

Ben found Luke cause you KNOW he has that shit dialed in. He's supposed to be watching Luke, after all, he probably has a good idea of what's going on in his backyard

And then with Empire Luke found Yoda cause, uh, don't worry about it. I mean, at least Ben told him which planet to go to. Kirk didn't even have that.

LMFAOOOO
 
haha, I just got an email for a red carpet premiere tomorrow at 5pm...for Point Break. Something tells me it won't be as hype as what's happening tonight :P

Though they're supposed to have EXTREME SPORTS stunts, so uh, that might be cool

Dagobah is about the size of a Mario Galaxy planet. That's how.
 
My headcanon on how Kirk could have been so close to La Cueva de Spock is that the rest of Delta Vega is so inhospitable that everyone who lives there (all three of them, I imagine, counting Keenser) have to stay in one small area.
 
8:30pm on Friday. I'm taking two weeks off starting Thursday so I can recover properly if it's really good, or really bad.

I kinda hope it's either really good or really bad. The worst for me would be just inoffensively boring.

The OT would have been absolutely crucified if it had released in the internet age.
