Was there any explanation for that? I think he looked at his watch and saw the movie had been on for 2 hours already. Yeah, I just can't bring myself to give this a generous A grade if that's the closest anyone can come to an explanation. A convincing reason for R2 to turn back on would've gone a long way toward making the ending satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theStun Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Possible 275 good God..........just six months ago we were thinking when the first movie could possibly break 220. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The "villain isn't intimidating enough" complaints, they're like clockwork. People apparently don't want blockbuster villains to be actual characters 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Thoughts on Rey being Kylo Ren's sister? Seems to make better sense than her being his cousin. Falcon's on her planet so she can conveniently use it. Han happens to pick them up. Han delivers her to Luke's saber so she can find it... If she's ready. Possibly hid her there when Ben Solo turned to protect her. Luke refused to train her young so she couldn't turn like Anakin and Ben... To make absolutely sure she was more light than dark. Ben Solo shows strange compassion, envy toward her... Star Wars is nuclear familial ties not cousins.

Take him to the theater Mr. Grinch. Nah, this is way more intense. Maybe on home video.... the theatrical experience alone is still a bit overwhelming for him.

Ben Solo shows strange compassion, envy toward her... Rey is the Emporors illegitimate grandchild. All the relatives of the Emporor were being killed and Luke helped Rey's family hide her on Jakku. Now Rey must choose between embracing the Emporors darkness or the light of the Jedi. I just made that shit up. But it could happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 This movie is amazing. Fuck you all. This 2nd viewing made it even better in my eyes. I still have no clue where Han gets the explosives from but it doesn't matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I think siblings makes the most sense especially given Abrams' reverence for the OT. They're the new Luke and Leia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
