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.

I'd still be down for it. Then we could see what a double-bladed saber can do when it's not being swung around by a scrub.

:D
 
Luke wears his old man robes so he can put his feet up and flash his balls like he doesn't realize what he's doing
 
Vader totally had a rosey pink saber in the OT

Kind of. Lazy writing just to establish a 'legacy' connection if there isn't a good reason that makes sense for the saber to be recovered.

I don't get why plot holes are dismissed as "not a big deal". It was a really good movie, but it had quite a few plot contrivances that are worthy of pointing out.

There is a perfectly valid reason his lightsaber could have been recovered, its the same reason Luke didn't just fall in to the planet.

It fell and got sucked into one of the tubes and got caught somewhere. Or it didn't, but since Luke is a larger piece of debris, the saber isn't "evacuated", and maybe a cleaning droid swept it up and the Ugnaughts found it. Take your pick.

Since it was NOT the debris seen falling to the planet while Luke was hanging on the antenna, then its on Cloud City and could reasonably be found. That is not a plot hole.

Pink would be great. It's a nice color and the R2 unit looked awesome in pink.

It could look great sure but they kinda need to avoid using a color with that much gender baggage. Blue and green are established in the universe so those are most likely but going out of their way to give a girl Jedi a pink saber would be like asking people to throw a tumblr tantrum.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I played SWTOR and weren't there lightsaber colors for light side / neutral / dark side?

You would never see a Sith using blue, and a Jedi using Red would be unusual.

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.

Exactly. I'm not hung up on it. Sarcasm for those who analyze every inconsistency. We all can come up with them but damn the movie was still great.
 
Theory on Reddit that Kylo's first step towards the dark side was losing control and killing Lukes wife. Ray is then put into hiding (crying girl in the vision).

I can dig that.
 
Saw the movie... Who was Snoke? I'm not a big Star Wars guy so I was a bit lost on how he was able to seduce Han Solo's kid.

Very disappointed at how Fin is pretty much a bystander. Probably the best Star Wars I've seen though as its very casual friendly and well acted. Definitely had a good time.

Best wishes.

Very plausible. Been waiting for her family to come back when her family was always Luke and his wife and were never going back to Jakku.

But RoTJ has all three force ghosts in their robes. Even the unaltered OG run pre-Hayden. ROTJ was still before PT.

Don't bother. You won't stop the usual people trying to blame the PT for everything. It's basically a scapegoat for bitter Star Wars fans at this point.
 
Rey can't complete her training until she goes through some fucked up shit, so no way is she making her own sabre until IX.

His wife is probably dead, but I doubt his first step was that dramatic. He certainly lost it at the Academy with supreme leader in his head though.

Also, why do these people keep thinking that abandoning the prodigy on a desert planet makes them safer from anything? The force finds a way to put them in the game, she should have been training all these years.

I could dig it. I walked to the bathroom right during Rey's vision, talk about a horrible scene to miss. So by this theory was Rey in training with Kylo before that?

I'd love for Hayden Christensen to appear as a Force Ghost to Rey or Kylo in Episode VIII just to piss off the prequel haters. Rian Johnson is a fan of the prequels after all.

loved it, even if its a retread of new hope. Finn and Rey were much better than I imagined, so much in fact that I felt I didnt need any of the nostalgia characters, I just wanted more finn and rey. Also it makes me super excited for the sequel

also thank god they didnt kill the villain in the first movie again. Some nitpicks like why is Finn holding his own against a actual Sith (or whatever Kylo is) and why can Rey even win against him (I mean, the force doesnt teach you to use a light saber, you need training for that) but whatever, super fun
Click to expand...

Finn might have some training with melee weapons, just like that Stormtrooper he fought. And Rey can hold her own with a large stick, so it didn't really surprise she had some skills with a lightsaber. Besides, Kylo probably also hasn't got a lot of experience. He is really young and his training with Luke probably failed because he didn't use the Force the right way and used his anger instead. And we all know where that leads too. Using the Vader-like mask was also a way I guess to intimidate people and to 'mask' his inexperience. Also Snoke said at the end of the movie that Kylo needed to finish his training.

They can blame PT all they want, but at least make sure they're stating facts instead of deflecting everything to them when it's not the case lol

Haven't you seen Korra? That shit doesn't work that well, either.

I hope he gives her romantic advice as he lets a handful of sand slip through his fingers.

I don't know. Leia said Luke tried to reach out to him but couldn't. I'm not sure Luke would do that if he killed his wife.
