One of the few times where I lol'd after needing a joke explained to me.
Some good stuff.
Yeah wow. Stuff like that genuinely creeps me out, like sure you can say it's just a movie but really think what kind of mindset motivates stuff like that. It's like aggressively anti social.
I'm just irritated that they (JJ/Disney) wasted an opportunity to make a quality SW movie with this new start. I know they have to have some fan service in the movie, but c'mon, put a bit of effort into it, not another shallow entry
But they did make a quality Star Wars movie?
Nah. Its just a shitty 1:1 remake.
At this point I'm not sure if you are being serious or just trying to be sarcastic.
I am sarcastic. I like the movie and I think the parallels between the movies are there but everybody is a little bit overreacting when it comes to all the reboot/remake talk

Yeah, so I doubt it. I will say that there's literally nothing I want more than for Star Wars to never have to deal with time travel.
Yeah, I'm sure JJ, Kasdan, and all of Lucasfilm put little effort into the sequel to Return of the Jedi.

Just saw it finally! Poe's wardrobe and voice were reminding me of Lone Star at the beginning, but the whole thing was amazing. I was SHOCKED when Han died. I mean the look of the scene shouldve given it away but no way they were gonna kill him.
Han and Leia's reunion... Perfect scene! The emotion in that scene was exactly what I wanted out of the movie.
on further thought, the part when the starkiller blew up the senate, though meant to show the audience the first order was a threat fwlt like the filmmakers talking to the audience. "Remember how bad this senate crap was in the prequels, well now its going boom. No need to worry about it in this trilogy."
And that last shot was total anime.

Harrison wanted to make sure all bridges were burned.
I feel like a character like Han deserved an Independence Day style of death where he crashes the Falcon into something to kill it and save everyone. I dunno just blurting things out here randomly.
IDK... I kinda would take killed by his own son over that, hole or no hole
I would want that if there was some emotional connection that had been built up between them but none was really formed in the movie. He is more emotionally attached to his ship. I see the real Han, the Falcon was always his real son and Kylo was second. Episode 9 will be a lightsaber battle between Kylo and the Falcon... and then Kylo will lose and fall down a hole.

Snoke flashback scene
HOLY LOL
None of those pits have rails. They need to get a galaxywide OSHA equivalent going.
Probably had one until The First Order blew it off the map, jerks.
"Please, egg/key/deface my car."
This guy will then be stunned/shocked after finding his car egged and keyed.
The ones in the OT did. The prequels was where the pits didn't have rails. Obviously they learned something from everyone falling into holes enough to do the bare minimum and get rails up later but then in 7 they obviously spent too much on the laser ray and didn't have any left to do rails.
"Please, egg/key/deface my car."
"don't fuck with another man's vehicle"
"you don't do it"
"it's just against the rules"
"....did you spoil The Force Awakens though?"
"...................."
Haha! I hadn't thought of that.
Han and Chewie going out Thelma and Louise style, but taking the entire base along with them, could have been pretty awesome...
...if it had been to save the entire New Republic which he had fought to create 30 years earlier, and not a handful of supposedly intelligent people who couldn't be bothered to evacuate a single planet they knew was being targetted.
Given that Starkiller had served its main purpose, at least dying at his son's hand had SOME meaning to it, though precious little based on the amount of interaction they had.

I think it's:
- it convinces the audience that the character's dead in a world where everyone and their mother can be revived with a little bit of fan outcry and comic book culture
- it's emblematic of unfinished business. Han died not being able to bring his son back to the good side. Seeing his grave would make it feel like he went out on better terms than he did. Darth Vader died turning good and saving his son, so he got to be... burned... I guess. Which doesn't sound to much better but I guess it's what his son wanted, heh.

The sequel isn't even 1 1/2 years away? Disney is not wasting any time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I hope this guy either got his ass beat or someone smashed that window. Then I hope there is someone else who records him crying.

Insurance scam?
The divide probably also comes extra strong because they introduced him in a way that everyone assumed he'd be the latter.

The little details on BB-8 are fantastic. My favourite was how his head bounces when the quadjumper's destroyed on Jakku.
Yep.

I'm pretty sure he purrs a couple of times when he's trying to get Rey to help him when they first meet and when the junker tries to buy him.
Almost surely not.
You can't see their desire for them to setup a role reversal nostalgia-laden moment where Luke tells her, "No, I am your father"? To have a rivalry between Luke's child and Leia's child? I think it's really obvious that's where they are heading.
It is still the most logical theory tbh

There's dialog in the film that contradicts it though. Maz talking to Rey about going back to Jakku, she says something like, "You already know it to be true. Your family isn't returning. But there is one who still could," and Rey replies "Luke." So her family isn't returning, but there's one person who could return from their disappearance, and that's Luke, which would imply Luke isn't her family.

Or maybe Maz just doesn't know Luke and Rey are related

Maz is Rey's daughter.
Hmm I'll have to watch to that scene again. Granted it has been almost 2 weeks since I last saw it, but I remember interpreting the line "but there is one who still could" as Maz saying that it was Rey who must return to Luke. I am probably wrong though as I don't have a strong memory of that dialogue.
Seeing it written out like that though, I can definitely see your point.
From my point of view this dude is an asshole lol.

I'm guessing that the family that left Rey behind (sold her into servitude to finance their escape?) was a foster family of some sort, and she was fostered with them because she was the daughter of somebody important and needed to be kept safe and out of sight. With how much that movie mirrors and twists elements from the OT, it would make a lot of sense for her to be the daughter of either Luke or Han & Leia.
obvious misdirection imo
"Please, egg/key/deface my car."
Better be riding around in a tank if that's what people see behind you.
