Hey, I'm not complaining
Sadly no.
You could probably just grab a Black Series Anakin or Luke and use the light saber from that set.
Luke: L'Oreal, because I'm worth it.

Yeah we've known since the first trailer where it was shown, I made a post about it on the trailer thread.

Didn't Darth Maul's double bladed sabre do that? Or am I misremembering? I haven't seen Ep1 since it came out.Best of both worlds Dual-wielding lightsabers that combine into a dual blade

My thoughts as well. If we didn't have Maul's staff already then I'd be down for it, but for some reason her fighting style with a Light staff vs. a real staff feels weird in my head. A staff just isn't for cutting like a sword/sabre.

Yeah Luke was styling hard in that shot. I love that they held the shot, they didn't shy away from it. Just, look at him. Look at him.
Into the Badlands. It's a new AMC series.

The problem with plot holes in Star Wars is its easy to just say.
the will of force dictated this meeting. etc..
like we are supposed to believe that BB8 found Rey on accident, and she accidentally runs into the MF and they get caught by Han Solo who take them accidentally to Maz who happens to have a light saber that is calling to her.
come on its all will of force.
waves hand.

Again, fair enough. Plot contrivance then, of which there are many.
Enjoyed the movie, but I wish it was more confident in itself. It was strong enough with the new actors that it didn't need to use so much of the previous films as a crutch.
His saber got straight up cut in half by Kenobi.

Same. God damn, did Ford suck the oxygen out of nearly every scene he was in.
Obi wan snapped the double bladed in half and Maul just one half of it as a normal lightsaber

No, it was released before we knew Rey actually used it. They were trying to keep it under wraps back then.

In the OT they never had troopers equipped to fight anyone with a lightsaber. I actually don't remember the PT well enough to care if something like that existed prior to the OT.
In TFA we see an entire planet turned into a killing machine that eats stars.
I'll chalk hyperspacing away from strong gravitational pull up to technological advancement in hyperdrive systems in a fantasy movie. I mean, we have beams of solid light that stop at a meter in length. This isn't exactly grounded in any sort of reality. Three decades of advancement in fantasy technology.
R2 went from rendering an interlaced, barely readable image of a princess to a complicated map detailed with Star systems. Nobody bats an eye.
Because the movie doesn't rely on it. She didn't need to find Luke's saber to find him ; they were already looking for him.
It serves as a connection to the OT, and a good one at that, while not answering all the questions that you might have about it. It's fine. It's magical.
Thanks. Is there alot of fighting in it ? Any martial arts etc ?

Fun movie!
I was really afraid that Kylo would just be a Darth knockoff, which he ended up being, but way they executed it worked out great. The saber battles were also much better than the flippy ninja shit in the prequels.
My only real disappointments were the death star retread and the fact they got The Raid crew in just so they could be eaten by space monsters.

What color saber do you think Rey will end up with? Think she'll stick with blue?
It's a post-apocalyptic martial arts western

It's true. All of it. This is why I don't complain about coincidence, parallels, chance meetings, history repeating itself, so on. It's the nature of the series, it's like poetry.
That's fine, i see what you are saying but personally I disagree. Again I thought the film was strong enough that it didn't need to connect itself to the old films so heavily in so many ways. Especially ones that were unnecessary like that.
Probably. Someone needs to rock the blue saber. Maybe Finn will get a yellow or green one.
The Jedi clothing is just another PT error, stemming from Obi Wan's robe in Star Wars ("Episode IV"). Obi Wan was in hiding on Tatooine. He certainly wouldn't have worn any sort of conspicuous Jedi clothing identifying him as one.
Just another reason why the PT is shite.
Agreed.

If Hamill has some action sequences in the next movie he should definitely return back to his Return of the Jedi garb, especially now that he's in good shape.

Agreed.

Lol yeah. The best thing about it is the martial arts. There is some quality ass kicking.

I want cyan. When Luke fires up Anakins saber for the first time after Obi-Wan hands it to him - love that color.

Yeah, it's not brilliant. Some of the paint jobs are better than others though. Finn and the two-pack Poe look a lot better. She got the short straw.

This is what I posted on my immediate reaction back on Thursday:
After seeing it again last night, I still agree with my initial impressions. I do have to say though, it definitely feels more like a re-imagining of A New Hope rather than a proper sequel to Return of the Jedi. It makes sense, though. The movie without question pleases old school fans with nostalgia, the OT cast, and amazing actions sequences and even though it treads on ANH a bit too much it's still a Star Wars film that fans have been waiting for decades. It's also clear JJ and Disney wanted to play it safe to attract the new generation of Star Wars fans who didn't grow up with the OT or perhaps even the prequels.
Regardless, now that the foundation of the new trilogy is set, I hope we see VIII and IX take on its own identity. I am sure they will.

Yeah, probably. I hope we see more Jedi than just Luke and Rey by the end of this trilogy. Maybe with some other saber colors like yellow or something.

I'm thinking they're gonna wanna stay traditional and keep it blue.
If they give her a unique color it'll be yellow.
didn't the ewoks start moving the AT-ST while chewie was still standing on the roof? I figured chewie just took over the "gunner seat"

for all she knew it could have been a regular ass YT-1300 freighter.
I think they'll stick with blue but for some reason I think yellow would really suit her.
But RoTJ has all three force ghosts in their robes. Even the unaltered OG run pre-Hayden. ROTJ was still before PT.

The fight scenes are choreographed by Ku Huen Chiu (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), each fight took six days to film, and there's at least one or two major fights each episode
John Harker
Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Why can't we have orange yellow or pink light sabers?
I know Plo Koon had an orange one but offhand that's really it for those colors eh? Shame, I'm all for rainbow diversity. Id rock a pink light saber.
Edit: damn I was wong Plo Koon is blue. I thought someone had an orange one tho?

Maul also only used 1 side of it when he tried to ambush Qui-Gon on Tatooine.

I guess she could make a new one that combines into Anakin's saber to form the dual-bladed staff.
People would riot if she had a pink light saber
Oh wow, I couldn't tell the staff was built that way.
She's almost certainly gonna go with a staff blade.

People love to fling shit at the PT, whether it makes any lick of sense is beyond the point.

Seriously, lets return to Boss Luke.
A bit lighter colour.
