You know what, Maybe that wouldn't be the worst thing. Maybe Rey Falls to the dark side in VIII.
Finn gets trained,and goes after her. He ends up fighting her in an attempt to Redeem her.
I like the idea of Rey on the dark side for a movie.

They're less like the pilots in Star Wars and more like the pilots in Jedi.
About four of them get multiple lines. One of those four does eat it. I won't say which, though.

Disney made a movie that came out this year where a child is run over by a truck with no cutting away whatsoever
Disney is CRAZY

For me that's honestly one of the most obnoxious elements of this movie. This huge event happens off screen just so the new trilogy can maintain the OT's status quo of only a couple Jedi. It makes Luke seem like a chump and a hermit

MCU BP isn't Wakandan anymore. He's Finnish.
Finn gets hit by a truck too?
What have you done
Does this happen when he is sleeping, or after he is finished cleaning a toilet or something?

Yup, they took a boss and made him like the Unabomber if he was a lazy sack of shit.
If Rey and Finn get together, their kid is going to be in the next trilogy like
This is like a clever hybrid of The Incredibles and Harry Pottter.
Cheek? Nope. He gets the forehead kiss. Doesn't even rate a peck on the cheek.
She did an excellent job with her character.
Ignoring credits order, if you asked me, I would say that this is 100% Rey's story. She's the lead character, everyone else is supporting.
Which is interesting because I saw him as simply someone who was there supporting. Aside from the initial escape sequence you could pull him out of the film and still have the same general story. If you pull Rey out, the story falls apart.
To be fair, something like 30+ years have passed since the end of RotJ.

Hey Bobby -
Now that you've seen the film - how far off is the Spoilerboard from what you viewed? Was there anything that stood out as something that deviated from the leaked shot list?

That's more intimate than cheek kisses!
They recently updated the spoiler board based on stuff that came from people who saw the movie and the pastebin so I would imagine it's pretty close

I guess they need to get reviews out but only after two days seems pretty quick to me.

Oh yeah, I said earlier that it was closer to 75%, but it looks like it's being updated as people post stuff on reddit and reviews roll in, but that's almost cheating, really: Once verifiable reports from multiple screenings start landing with two days to go, it's almost not worth adding anything more.
As it stands, whatever's up there now is more or less accurate. 5 days ago, I'd have said it was closer to 85% overall. A couple weeks ago, I'd say it was about 75% right.
That's part of the fun of the spoilergame - the look back at what went wrong and how it got that way.

Dude, a school principal kissed me on the forehead. It's almost handshake-tier.
I mean it's a movie not a video game. And the press screenings were today.

Out of curiosity, Syriel, what did you think of Rey as a character? How did Daisy do in the role?

Oh yeah your right.
For me, I would need more time to think over something like a new Star Wars movie.
It's a friendzone kiss.

it's not gonna be any question when you guys actually see those two interacting in certain scenes. There's a thing there.
Also, looks like Variety is reporting pre-sales are at $100 mil for opening weekend already.

Same but these guys do it for a living. They probably stick to a standard outline/criteria.

Either kiss is, really. Cheek kiss is like the most not intimate thing. Almost handshake level (specially if it's just cheek to cheek and there's no lip contact).
I loved Rey as a character.
You're going to see thousands of little girls dressing up as Rey for Halloween, the same as thousands of little boys dressed up as Luke Skywalker back in the OT days.
Daisy did an excellent job with the role as written.
I know Bobby disagrees with me, but I really felt as though this movie (and the upcoming trilogy) is going to be Rey's story, just as the OT was Luke's story and the PT was Anakin's story.
I don't know why he would disagree with that. I think that was made pretty obvious about a year ago.
He just said a few posts ago that he felt Finn was the heart of the film.
Both are familial/friend-kind of kiss. Reserved for someone you're grateful for, but not feeling romantic at.

Oh how i wish we could get a new trilogy that didn't just focus on the solo or sky walker line only. Saving the galaxy and all that jazz.
I need some new adventures. (Standalone movies excluded)
Maybe you're both right.

I didn't say it wasn't going to be her story, or that it isn't hers now, really. I said Finn felt more like the P.O.V. to me. He's the in to what's going on more than she is. To me, at least. I related more to Finn than I did to Rey. Mileage may vary for others, but he felt like the heart and the anchor of the film more than she did, even as she has the Force powers and the visions.
Why would you exclude the thing you're specifically asking for?

That is fantastic. I'm hyped for my younger cousin to see this film! Her two younger brothers were always both big Star Wars fans, but she's become a huge fan of the franchise herself and has been absolutely pumped to see this film because of Rey. This will mean a lot to her.

Because i said new trilogy and not a spin off standalone movie. That most likely won't get a sequel.
Need new characters without all the baggage of the OT and PT.
In all seriousness I am so happy to hear that Rey is a good character and Daisy plays her so well.
My girlfriend is immensely more excited, about the Lead being a girl. Which from everything i have read (I will get a better picture tomorrow via reviews) Is a complete bad ass, and plays her role well.

What does it matter?
New adventures are new adventures. And you're getting one every other year.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Also pity, which is about as unsexy as you can get.
On this I would agree. Different people will have different takeaways from the same film.

It matters because a trilogy and a spin standalone are different.
An its not just the new adventure alone that i want. It's exploring new lore, with or without the republic or the empire or the first order being the sole focus as baddies or goodies. Things that i liked in the EU (i know) that was explored sort to speak, that turned out to be very interesting.
Not rehashes of plot points and narratives from the original. Fresh character arcs and new expectations.
Because so far it seems that we are getting more of the same, regardless of the end results. Neither is bad but it just not intriguing.

You're never going to get that because this shit is set in the same universe. It's the same "lore" for everyone (which isn't even LORE, it's just backstory at best, if that).
If what you want is EU-type shit, it's mostly already here, and it's going to keep coming. But I don't see the point in asking for new shit, getting new shit, and going "Nahh" because it's not in the form of a specific trilogy.
standalone films aren't inherently lesser. Trilogies aren't inherently superior.
Lore is fucking overrated and over-cited. And hugely misunderstood anyway.
