RobinHood26 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 One could argue they throw you off right away because Kylo Ren and him have that stare off the first scene on Jakku. It to me the first time came across like Kylo maybe feels the force in him or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 The George Lucas Charlie Rose interview is really something. He s so bitter & butthurt, it s kinda incredible. Yep he sold his baby and the new parents won't share custody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) the scene everyone was wanting to see Quote the film was originally supposed to open by panning over a dismembered hand (Luke’s hand that Darth Vader cut off in Empire Strikes Back) holding a lightsaber. This scene almost made the cut, but it was eventually removed late in the process. http://www.inquisitr.com/2665982/20-scenes-were-deleted-from-the-final-star-wars-the-force-awakens-film-spoilers/#QeSpsT7TgGQsvhkJ.99 Edited December 31, 2015 by John Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Probably has been already discussed. I watched the dubbed version, dunno how it's in english, but in the visions Rey was having, in the scene where we see a young child in distress while somebody says to the kid calm down (or something to that effect), that person sounded like Han Solo to me.

But, if we're being anecdotal, my parents both gave it a C, my brother a C+ and four of the five friends I saw it with C+ or less. One of 'em gave it a solid A. My sis loved it. Her fave behind only ESB too. Her taste almost always mirrors that of K1Rey though. It's kind of funny... Well, to me it is. Here is my family members' opinions: Dad: Good visuals, but the complete lack of originality ruined it. Sister #1: Liked the first half, disliked the second (the Death Star was lame). Her husband: It was ok. 5/10 max. Sister #2: Liked it, the prequels were better though. It should've been more original. Brother #1: It was interesting, but nothing special. On the level of the prequels. Brother #2: Disappointing, didn't like it. 5/10. Brother #3: Liked it, 7/10. Better than Ep. 1/2. 3/4/5/6 are better. Sister #3: Liked it, 8/10. All other episodes are better though. (She likes everything) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylo was sensing that Finn was having second thoughts about being a part of the First Order any more. Thats why later on when Hux says it was one of theirs that helped Poe escape, Kylo says Finn's designation number out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldIBeHere Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) I also think that this is far from a masterpiece. I hope all the hype and money won't lead to an undeserved Oscar nomination for this, let alone a win. However, I am surprised how many people say they liked it less than the prequels. Sure, the storyline of the PT sounds not too bad on paper... But especially character building and acting are IMHO very good and far superior in TFA and make it so much easier to care for it than the PT. With characters such as this I think they could easily have tried a bit more with the story and avoid the overload of nostalgia and coincidences. But who can blame them, really, looking at the fandom (the sense of entitlement is strong with them) and the (deserved) backlash the PT got. It sure made me care for how the journey progresses, though. So I hope they enter new territory with Episode 8 and 9. Really hope that it will center on both Rey and Ren as opposing protagonists.

ladyevenstar22 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) maybe i'm just weird but i don't hate , dislike the prequels and i feel people hating on them is undeserved , sure TPM is a bit underwhelming but the following 2 pîck up really well , personally i prefer them to the originals but that's probably due to fact i wasn't a fan of star wars for a pretty long time but i have come around to appreciating them for the story as a whole /world building universe after all both cover the arc of anakin skywalker rise fall and redemption . the prequels were really my first hand experience becoming a true fan of star wars before that i was more of a mind star trek world is superior ,now i love both ps: crazy question way out there(humor me) but after i realized i'm not the only one shipping rey and kylo /finn and poe , do you guys think its possible adam driver could be nominate for his role and would he be considered best actor or best supporting actor category , i know how unlikely it is during serious noms but i'm sure he'll get in for more populist GA awards edit : just found an article talking exactly about this , 7 billions people i can't be only one thinking it lol http://www.bustle.com/articles/132717-why-adam-driver-as-kylo-ren-in-force-awakens-shouldnt-be-ignored-by-the-oscars Edited December 31, 2015 by ladyevenstar22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkshop36 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My wife and son both thought it was great. Many son likes the PT movies but he prefers the OT. He doesn't like Jar Jar and he thinks the acting in the PT is mostly pretty bad. Many wife isn't as critical towards the PT. She actually enjoys all the movies. For, me the acting, dialogue, character interaction and visuals in TFA are far superior to the PT. All the new actors crushed their parts and BB8 is one of the coolest, cutest and funniest robotic characters ever. Shit, his "acting" was better than most of what we got in the PT lol On our second viewing my nephew came with us and he thought it was great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
