Rathtar burped up a boot in this movie.
That whole sequence was probably the worst in the film. Why didn't Finn get eaten right away like everyone else? It could have been in the prequels easily.

That's how I saw it too, really funny scene.Similarly, the nurse is just being a nurse. The joke's actually (at least that's how i took it) that she's talking to Chewie - big ass hairy monster who shoots gun - like a child who has an ouchie.
I felt that was so fake, just like the Han crossbow scenes.
Why Harrison Ford wanted Han dead? Wasn't following the news.
I had originally thought the big bad dark side of the force user would be a Vader apprentice, but he shows more confidence than Vader. I think it willl be revealed he was secret Palp apprentice.
What does EU stand for?

The EU is dead.
True, but that wasn't as egregious as the TPM fart joke, at least in my opinion.
Gone with the Wind had many re-releases that aren't detailed in that total. Cinema releases worked very differently back then.

Interesting notion:
Chewie is Han's best friend.
Kylo is Han & Leia's kid.
No way Chewie wasn't there for Ben's birth.
It seems pretty plausible to me that Chewie probably held that kid shortly after he was born
Probably played with him when he was little.
Probably babysat him from time to time.
Chewie doesn't even fucking BLINK and puts a shot dead into what's more or less his nephew with one of the most OP guns in the film.
Chewie is hardcore.
Also it looks like there was a cut sequence with Unkar Plutt tracking the Falcon to Takodana and Chewie rips his fuckin arm off in the Cantina. It shows up in the novel.
Domhnall Gleeson was really disappointing, hammed it up sooo much. The OT officers were snooty English people who believed themselves and the Empire above everyone else. The kind of assholes you know exist. Hux was just Scooby Doo villain quality.
I thought Hux was a bit too baby faced to be a general. Maybe as a captain or something, but a general should be more like Veers.
Then we have the title of the movie itself and the talk of Snoke about an awakening in the force. Something is happening on a galactic/universal scale that is related to the force but that few or any of the current characters seem to know what it is leading to but maybe characters like Snoke and Luke have hunches toward what is causing this 'awakening'.
I was super on board with the cinematography in that scene, too. Kylo being cast in red on one half and blue on the other while his decision remains ambiguous, and once he's "made up his mind" the blue light fades away entirely.
It was cheesey but goddamn did it work.
This is why all the "friendzone" talk upthread is weird - there's kind of a disconnect between what the movie is showing and what audiences are interpreting. Rey isn't "friendzoning" (ugh) Finn all movie long. That nurse isn't "hitting on" Chewbacca. She's placating him. It's like a school nurse congratulating a 2nd grader for being a big boy after getting bactine on his knee.
I fucking LOVED that and thought of that on my walk home.Interesting notion:

Expanded Universe. Essentially everything that was created outside the films.
Expanded Universe.
Basically Star Wars related fiction (novels, comics) that used to be canon. It was scrapped after the Disney acquisition.
Expanded Universe. All the books and comics etc that released after ROTJ like the Thrawn Trilogy.
The biggest plot hole in the film is how after all these years this is somehow the first time Han has used Chewie's bowcaster.
snippedy snip
I think it's just Rey. She's clearly immensely powerful, and it's the only "awakening" we can point to that's actually witnessed during the movie.
A lot of the callbacks felt that way to me after the 4th or 5th one and especially in the second half of the film.
Yeah, this really bugged me. For being one of the most legendary SW characters ever, the aftermath of his death felt very understated. IDK, just an extended shot of Leia grieving or something to really reinforce how sad this was would have made his death feel a little more real and final I think.
maybe it's a brand new model!
He really does look great. And he looked even better in the premiere than he did in his getup in this movie.
He really got into shape for Episode VIII. Kylo Ren vs. Luke atop some city in the clouds is inevitable.

So I wasn't the only person thinking that.
Not really.
Weapons are very personal things. You just don't use another someone else's personal arms.
He's wanted it since his salary negotiations for RotJ.
The aftermath of Han Solo's death being understated is nothing compared to how much they understated destroying an entire inhabited solar system that apparently contained the government and military of the Republic.
It's wildly better than the OT because it builds expertly on the established characters, not because of friggin callbacks.
The OT is brilliant. TFA is better because it takes what was established and updates and expands upon it.
It's also better because it completely redefines gender norms for an entire generation. It cannot be overstated how important this movie is, the impact it will have on how women and girls are perceived and perceive themselves for generations.
Got our first teaser 13 months or so before ep7, could be around the same time for ep 8 meaning April
Not too far away ya know

Damn marketing. I thought that line was going to be some sort of significant reveal! When she started off I was like here it comes! oh well.![]()
Loved everything Chewie in this! He had some great reactions and moments.
My favourite one was Luke's old training aid. It was just some thing that was on the falcon in the original film and was still there in the latest.
But its soul lives on as seen in this very movie.
Nah, Phasma caught him and they're bringing him back as a bounty hunting android manGuys.
Han's dead dead.
Harrison Ford is old. He wanted to die in ROTJ and now he got it.
He ded.
I actually think its going to be someone further back then Palpatine. They put so much focus on Luke looking for the original Jedi Temple and at the end of the movie we see Rey and Luke meet on the planet that supposedly has the original. To me this points to something more primal/old world dating back generations before any of the previous movies, and likewise I think the main antagonist in Snoke is something related to that lost history, not to mention we have Maz Kanata, a pirate force user who supposedly has lived almost as long as Yoda did but wasn't a jedi. Then we have the title of the movie itself and the talk of Snoke about an awakening in the force. Something is happening on a galactic/universal scale that is related to the force but that few or any of the current characters seem to know what it is leading to but maybe characters like Snoke and Luke have hunches toward what is causing this 'awakening'.
I kinda chuckled when the camera panned up to show Luke reveal and i saw a Jedi tummy. I thought master jedis would practise the force to keep them slim and fit.
Because everyone was crying over Alderaan in the OT?
maybe it's a brand new model!
I loved it. I just have a question. Who was the character that gave Poe the map to get to Luke?
All of star wars happens in the same galaxy
Do you know how big a galaxy is ?
It seems to be. Or at least it's been upgraded at some point
It sure as shit didn't do in the OT what it does in this movie
It still breaks my high school version of me heart that the Thrawn trilogy is no longer canon.
