GiantCALBears Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Getting to watch some of these Boyega-Ridley interview videos makes me think I like them in real life better than their characters so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Live Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Just now, Baumer Fett said: They had terrific chemistry and Daisy should be oscar nominated. She was terrific. agreed, she, as well as the other, were great. But she quickly became one of my favorite characters in the whole saga that quicklyl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 So if Han is really, really dead....why does this new Disney casting call for 8 say he is reprising the role? http://www.moviecastingcall.org/2015/12/star-wars-episode-viii-casting-new-lead-and-supporting-roles.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Seriously, by the standards of Frozen and Harspoke, who HAS had an onscreen death in a movie lately? Outside of Marion Cottliard's horrific death in TDKR, I can barely think of any examples of major characters in blockbuster films having concrete, definitive death scenes by this ridiculous standard. He got stabbed through the heart with a lightsaber. He's deader than dead. Though I will say, debating whether Han is dead is 100000000x times better than listening to people complain about how "weak" Kylo Ren looked without his mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Obi-wan yelling her name in the vision which really makes no sense if she is Luke's child. Again, that can just be explained away or ignored but just even little things like her being the only one with the British accent. I know it is not genetic, but it could explain that she was raised by people that had the accent like Ben did so it could be passed down to his granddaughter like that. Again, not saying there is an absolute point in the movie that I can point to and say "see it's obvious" but just little things. I also can agree that I may be reading too much into things and may just be looking for other options then being a Skywalker If you're just going off voices she hears in the flashback, then she would have to be part Skywalker, part Kemobi and part Yoda. Good luck figuring how that would work! Also Jakku is littered with former imperials and she was most likely raised by the Simon Pegg alien who is obviously British. There's tons of characters with British accents in this series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 My mistake, no harm no foul. But still. There's at least one dude WAY too adamant about this. He's dead, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirafficPark Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I have to say, even as a Brit myself Ridleys accent grated on me a bit. Its not just British, its well schooled posh British. Its a terrible cliché. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if you read it all you can tell she was probably actually taking notes and not watching the movie. Handful of stuff she complained about is explained or obvious. "Is Leia still a Princess? They’re not using the word “princess” anymore. It’s another word. Organa?" Edited December 27, 2015 by Jay Salahi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Just a note: On Friday January 1, the two-week barrier is reached and untagged spoilers become fair game in the main Episode 7 thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire of Themyscira Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Just saw this on Tumblah. TFW you realize Chewbacca probably loved Ben almost as much as Han did. He was probably ‘Uncle Chewie’. And Chewie had to raise his gun against him. Chewie’s a good marksman. He was probably entirely capable of hitting Kylo lethally. But he couldn’t. Because he held Ben as a baby and put him up on his shoulders and let Ben pull on his fur because human babies all seem to go through that awful hair pulling phase. How could he kill Ben, who had been so small in his big Wookiee arms when he was brand new that Chewie had almost been scared to hold him for fear of breaking him?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The further away from this film I got, the more I reconciled with its issues. the biggest mistake was probably seeing it again 2day. it's still a c+ movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get double emotions in the scene as I realised how difficult it must be for chewy to see lil Ben turn evil and kill his pal but also bens dad Han. It's like a dog seeing its owners son killing it...what turmoil it must go through emotionally only it knows. Unlike us humans, wookies and dogs are loyal, loving and unselfish.

K1stpierre Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I have a question, who was the old man at the beginning of the film. Was he someone really important from the past? Someone from the books? I don't recall anyone mentioning his name (and I've seen it 4 times now). Also, if anyone has time check this review out (I know it's long but I love listening to long reviews). They've got some great feedback and some great theories revolving how the future of the series goes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJoTyNikmZc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says Leia is still royalty in his eyes, so this must mean he has known her for at least 30 years. He and Kylo/Ben also know each other ass Kylo remarks that he has gotten old. So he is probably a man who was in the resistance and now makes his home on Jakku. I also wonder if he kept an eye on Rey as well. She's on Jakku, so is he and somehow the Falcon ends up there.....all of these cannot be coincidences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
