No problem at all if it is. Their chemistry was great. Weren't there rumours Gugu Mbatha-Raw was cast as a possible love interest for Finn?

When I was exiting the cinema I heard some guys complaining about Rey being the hero because she's a giiiiirl. They even called her "the girl" instead of Rey.
I was fueled by their hate.

Another good moment was when Rey is being interrogated and she tells the storm trooper to drop the weapon after opening the door and he does it like he knows he is being mind controlled but cant do shit about it "sigh...(weapon drops)"

I dont blame him, Dat smile!!!!!
i wouldn't mind Rey not having some tacked on romance subplot really. Have Finn do that - or Poe, or BB8 for all i care.
I hope the makers of the films realize that you can get attached to someone and do anything in your power to save them from danger, even without romantically loving them or being blood relatives. Rey would go to great lengths to save Finn, because she cares about him, because he's her friend.

When the lightsabre flew into her hand I almost cried. Fuck yeah.
It is fascinating, the resistance people have to that.
I think it's cool that it's happened on such a big stage.
I did hear someone say every shot in the film was built to be "way too PC". I like to think that I misheard the guy, but I dunno.

It was okay. I enjoyed it. Some nice scenes and I liked the two new leads. But it doesn't bear analysis. It utterly falls apart. And way too similar to Ep IV for my liking.
Fuck those guys. I hope Episode VIII is a buddy movie with just Rey and Ahsoka kicking ass just to piss off guys like that.
how so?
I'd say there's some decent character analysis that can be taken from this.
Stole every scene he was in, if one character exuded Star Wars from the new crew it was him.

I'm not sure they'll go that route. Han, Wedge, Chewie...all good pilots without being force-sensitive.
That was the scene that gave me the biggest goose bumps.

That's the impression I got. I was assuming that she was Kylo's sister but that seems logically inconsistent with many of the characters actions, mostly Kylo's.
Leia and Han knew exactly who she was though.
For me it was when Han yelled 'Ben', genuinely spine tingling.
One thing I have to remind myself of is that the way I see this film could change when the other two parts are released, its not a solo film, its the sum of a part. The interesting comparison with episode 4 is that, while they are similar, episode 4 is a complete film and could have been the only film and would still be a brilliant movie. This has a load of cliffhangers, questions, not just meta questions that expand the story but huge ones that NEED to be answered.
I think the fact that as a singular story it still leaves so much to be explored has affected my viewing a bit.

Yeah, Wedge is definitely the better pilot than Luke. Saved Luke's ass in ANH with a baller move against a TIE that Luke couldn't shake. Wedge didn't get shot down during The Battle of Hoth. In general, Wedge > Luke.
This confused me too..
That line did get me, some real emotion in there
The fact you could see it from a mile off how it was going to end was quite upsetting
I really wish his body wasnt just lost like that, we will never see Han again, no funeral, no respects paid, sucks really.

At least Jar Jar won't attend the funeral.
Looking forward to the discussions on this once most of GAF has seen the movie,
I've noticed a kind of hypocrisy where some people are okay with a woman being heroic but as long as it's on their terms.
It better be! They work great together. I also want the Poe/Finn bromance. They can be Murtaugh and Riggs.
The more I think about this movie the more I like it. The more complaining I see people do about it, the more I like it.
The main cast is great. The Poe / Finn bromance has great chemistry. I like how Kylo Ren isn't Darth Vader v2, even if he wants to be. The costume / alien design feels like classic Star Wars. Even the comedy in it was top notch.
My two tiny nitpicks are that I wish we saw more of Phasma - I agree with people that have said maybe she could've taken the place of the Riot Control Stormtrooper with the staff - and a few new ships flying around - I like seeing new X-Wings and Ties, and I don't mind having Poe pilot a cool black and orange one, but the fleets should've at least had a few different vehicles instead of pandering with just the fan favourites. But they're both tiny nitpicks.

yeah, but i do believe that was the point of it.
Huge fucking hole, into the belly of a planet about to blow up.
Just to nip any kind of "maybe he survived, maybe someone found him, maybe he did make it" theories in the bud.
Do we even know how they 'bury" their dead in the Star Wars universe? Most plot relevante characters who died in the OT (mostly Jedi, really) were either burnt or disappeared.

Too much dark side for their liking?
Phasma is the new Boba Fett. Makes a great action figure but doesn't actually do anything.
I suppose so, it just felt...unfitting, even Qui Gon got a funeral Pyre

I wonder if Abrams did that on purpose...

Rey was amazing. Loved all the new characters. Such great casting.
Holy shit the difference in performances from the prequels.
"bowcaster" btw.
And that's an invention of the video games, i believe.
Chewbacca used his bowcaster in RotJ, and even then, it fired red blaster shots.

did the wookies use it in Ep 3?
edit: they do, and they fire green projectiles. Maybe Chewbaccas is some sort of modded bowcaster.
I think its incredible that Gwen has been out in full force promoting a character based on absolutely nothing, its genuinely remarkable to me, I imagine there has to be deleted scenes somewhere.
Also what the deal with Sidow? Was it just a cameo or am i missing something?

I need episode 8 in my eyeballs as soon as possible.
Youll start to see trailers in 6 months or so, only a year and a half

6 months until "Yeah, Han's dead dude, you didn't know?" becomes acceptable to say in public
It's normal for ensemble movies, anyone even semi-known has to do all the junkets and other crap.
Max von Sydow's character was a strange one though, he knew Kylo and mentioned the balance of the force. Maybe some EU stuff will tell us more about him.

Please, no. Let them be friends, they had such an amazing and fun friendly bonding, don't ruin it.
Why people think Kylo Ren is an experience fighter ? he's young and act like a beast, there is no technique in his sword skill, just rage, anger and chaos, I think the movie really show it more than once, even his light saber is chaotic, it doesn't have a proper form yet.
Rey is exactly what Yoda wanted Luke to be, a force fighter but Luke wasn't really a great apprentice and he's a pretty mediocre Jedi ( I know what he'll become in the EU but they aren't canon anymore ), Rey is probably more talented and I don't see a problem at all.

I think they start in January.
Rouge One is filming right now though, I believe.

They did a bit at Skellig Michael. Mark Hamill was there a few months ago. Starting again in January.
