Totally forgot to mention this. His initial reaction about hearing about "a girl" is pretty telling that Rey is somehow tied to bigger things. Pure speculation, but I think Rey is a big reason Kylo turned to the dark side.

It's a good bet a lot of people are just now hearing the term this weekend and are taking Max Landis use of it as gospel.
Would people hate me saying I want a GREAT MMO. I would love to just experience this universe

I can a massive invasion scenario happening on maybe the Republic's stand-in capital. Straight out urban warfare.

Agree! I love all the lightsaber duels as well as they fit the characters in the era they are in. People who hated the prequel fights are probably in luck as we might not see that style ever again, as it wouldn't fit story wise. Those Jedi techniques and fighting styles were lost with Order 66 and the remaining Jedi purge.

Yeah, Maz kind of sucks. All of her dialogue seemed to be closer to the prequel era. At least she didn't have a 50's diner.

Where is that image from
it might also very well be that Kylo, being an insecure semi-evil shithead, is also kind of a sexist.
The Starkiller went out like an afterthought. I think it was only in VII to get it out of the way. The new trilogy its Death Star moment, it's done. Maybe all for a subset of fans that would've complaied about the lack of a big bad weapon or large scale destruction like in the original trilogy. I think it's all behind us.
Not including this information in the movie was probably for the best.
You think you want it, but then you start reading and your eyes kinda start to glaze over...
Just kidding, but yeah.
It would have felt forced. All the characters already know this stuff, so there's no reason for them to talk about it in a way that would explain it to the audience. Or maybe Han could have Alzheimer's, so Leia would have to like "Han, you remember the New Republic? How the senate is currently in the Hosnian system, and... stuff? Han, are you listening?"
I want anything Star Wars now lol. The itch is still strong. I'm honestly thinking about picking up Disney Infinity just for the Star Wars stuff but I have no idea how the whole Infinity thing works.

There was some old storyboard scene of a force user throwing rocks at X-wings/tie fighters (can't remember). Personally, I would love to see some force users really wreck shit during a huge space battle.
Dat ninja edit. I saw it.
Yeah idk I'm hovering around 7-8/10

I think the whole rey - kylo ren fight is what the whole trilogy is going to be about. If rey is Luke's daughter (how is she not? All Skywalkers come from desert planets and Luke putting her there when it went into hidding) its two cousins fighting over the balance of the force in the universe. I think kylo might have some hint about this.
Btw what planet did they blow up? That wasn't corrisant was it?

I kinda have a love-hate relationship with this guy.
Yes. Ever since playing the Force Unleashed, I've been wanting to see a force user do something as epic as stop a cruiser with the force on the big screen.
Rey knows how to fight, it is shown at the beginning of the movie.
Rey knows how to fly a ship, it is stated by her and then proved at the beginning of the movie.
Rey knows as much mechanics as Han. She also knows the insides of ships she scavenges of, in order to be able to eat.
Rey can counter Kylo's mind tricks, shown in the interrogatory between the two.
Rey can mind/force steal the lightsaber from under Kylo's nose.
Get over it.
The fact that she manage to fight for her life and to out-power a very unstable and wounded Kylo in the final fight is almost nothing compared to all of the above.
Don't worry, Kylo will get his revenge in the next episode. He needs a lot of sacrifices to complete his transformation.

Yeah! And as you said, the way the lightsaber duels reflected each era of the Star Wars timeline and the level of training of their users was a very nice touch.
regardless of his dumb ego sometimes overshadowing him into making some really dumb broad statements and acting surprised at the obvious internet backlash
I really like his take on superhero stuff and if anything I like him for putting more of a face to screenwriting
he's kind of a dumbass but I admire the fact that he seems to work hard and care

Luke is more Mary Sue than Rey
Luke without training fought against Vader and ships and cannon and blew up the Death Star single handedly
Rey could barely escape from 2 fighters and Ren was so
Weak he got injured from Finn , Vader would have sliced Finn in 5 seconds
Max landis wants to make sense but he doesn't

Agreed.
Cast of unknowns plus old favourites, all of a sudden 'fuckin Alias guy'.
Simon Pegg had the decency to be buried under alien makeup.
Regarding the complaint about the Resistance somehow getting the Starkiller schematics magically, I noticed watching it again that they talk about a reconnaissance mission coming back. Granted, it seems odd that their scans would reveal the inner structure, but it isn't completely out of nowhere.
Why wouldn't you remake KOTOR?

I kind of expect/hope to see Luke do this. It would be an awesome juxtaposition to when he couldn't even lift his X-Wing out of the swamp.
I was think about how Rey and Kylo were connected when they were younger. Maybe they trained together under Luke as kids but Rey was always besting Kylo and was jealous of this as she had more potential. This caused him to turn to the dark side for more power and this is how Snoke seduced him. So he destroys Lukes' Jedi order. Luke saves Rey from getting killed hides her and himself as well so that Kylo and Snoke could not locate her.
Not sure if this has been theorized but that's my take on it.
BB-H8te me if old. Beep boop.

I wish I could. I really do.
This really how I feel especially the fact that he can be suuuuuuuper full of himself.
That said, he can be pretty funny sometimes and he's very passionate that's for sure. He can even make some great points at times too. Though, the Mary Sue one doesn't really stick for me at all.
I didn't even notice. I think all the cameos work really well because they're not bent on showing faces and when they do, they don't linger on them.
Like, it's funny most people will go the rest of their lives not knowing the stormtrooper that got mind tricked is 007.

To update the gameplay so that its fun to play (Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it on OG Xbox, but its so dated now that it's hard to go back to.) and update the story so that it's relevant in canon.

I really liked her character, the most interesting of the new characters outside of the core three. And it was nice to have someone who has a broader perspective on the current conflict; she's seen some shit in her time.
Just took my younger daughter to see it. She'd seen ANH and Empire a few years ago, and so was kinda familiar with them. Some initial confusion about the sides on the conflict aside, she loved it. It's been fun to watch these with my family who are not as big a fan of Star Wars as I, and find it works for them really well. They don't get all the references and history with the characters, but totally got sucked into the story and characters. The credits rolled and Bridget turns to my wife and I, "I hate cliffhangers!" She just wanted it to keep going. Pretty good sign for the future of the series.
Yup. It's all right there.
Not you, you have it since way before the movie, you can keep until the end of the trilogy, there's nothing saving you.

I think I'd like a new series set between 6 and 7 personally. Less Jedi Council and Sith Lords and robots and racist Asian fish people and all that.
I did end up going to the bathroom during one of her scenes, maybe I'll like her more on a rewatch! And that's a cute story.
No it wasn't Corruscant. "Hosnian Prime". New Republic set a new capital.

Am i the only one who makes two parallels during this movie?
First; Middle Ages legends with Excalibur (Anakin lightsaber) who chose Rey to Kylo (Ren is not his name! It's his title like Darth for the sith) . The first "order" like the templars and of course Kylo's lightsaber .
Second: ...well looks like this trilogy will be Avatar the last airbender right?

And he was clipped in the shoulder by Finn with a lightsaber to boot.
Dude was fucked up and held his own for a while.
This is why I feel like everyone who watched that particular Max Landis spread it like wildfire.
I mean, the argument isn't entirely invalidated at all, but god, can it get repetitive.
