Charism Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 1 hour ago, Baumer Fett said: After seeing it for my 4th time I noticed another little nod to the originals. When Finn is on the Millenium Falcon with Ford and chewy, for a split second, and it literally was a split second, you see him pick up a little white sphere. That was the blaster that Luke used to train with in a new home with Obi Wan Kenobi. I laughed out loud watching it today and no one else did when they saw that part. But like I said this was my 4th time seeing it so it's a bit easier to pick these things up. I don't know if I was overlly sensitive, but I catched that, Alec Guiness and Wilhelms Scream all on my first showing. But yeah, I laughed at that and I was alone, who did that. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Saw it again and... yeah, B+. A little more to appreciate from the narrative but I still have the same issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 On my second watch I tried to pay more attention to the music. Have a bit more appreciation for the incidential dramatic and action music, and yeah, Rey's theme is really growing on me. The Resistance March is still great, and I really hope Episode 8 further develops Kylo Ren's 5-note cue into something suitable for his probable Power Upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I am looking forward to a less Vader-ish getup for Ren, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke has some master plane that's going to finish this, hence the hidden meaning in his name by the writers maybe? Finn... Finish, End. If Luke doesn't have some master plan, if he is just running away for 20 years, I will be disappointed with the writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviesRus Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Finn has an American accent because all stormtroopers have American accents. Even Daniel Craig had to fake his accent in that cameo. It shows that they're low level employees of the Empire/First Order. Only the top brass aristocratic people are British. Which is also what makes Kylo Ren notable and kind of makes him seem like he doesn't belong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi guys! Anyone wish Abrams was a little bolder? I just feel most of the choices were very safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets bolder in 8. Kylo and Poe hookup. I think that was pretty ballsy for Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 If you watched any part of Adam Driver in GIRLS (I have, ill admit it), it is sort of hard to take his journey seriously. He did a fine job but that's all I could think about whenFord's last scene was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Some things I LOVE about the movie: There's a super quick scene, like maybe a second long, when Finn and Rey are on the Falcon, and Finn picks up a white sphere. That was the sphere that Luke used for training with the lightsabre. Loved that small nod to the original. Chewy still doesn't like droids and he yells at BB8 just like he did in the original. I finally heard the Ben Kenobi voice when Rey was in Kanata's basement The lightsabre going into Rey's hands when it looks like Kylo is taking it, might go down as the greatest scene in SW history. I know right now "No, I am your father," is probably the clear number one, but that scene in the forest is pretty fucking brilliant. Hated to see Han go, but loved the whole scene. I love how the conflict was there with Ben but ultimately he succeeded in doing what he didn't think he could. Love that Leia and Han named their kid after Obi Wan. Love Rey, so beautiful and graceful and brilliant in every scene. Loved Finn. Loved BB8 Loved Han and Chewy I just loved it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Live Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I am sure it was talked about before but I may be leaning towards Rey being a Kenobi. Not saying that her being a Skywalker isn't probably the top option, but just saying the more I watch (5 times now), I am starting to lean to the Kenobi side 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
