Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Score is more solid than I thought on my initial watch. Although it could be the weakest in the saga. Rey's theme is a standout though. First Order/Kylo's theme is really good as well. Giacchino is doing the next one, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Loved this movie. Loooooooooooooooooove it. IO is still my favorite of the year, this is second right now. Characters are fantastic, especially Rey and Kylo. Daisy Ridley is going to be on the A-list soon. Kylo Ren is a really complex character and better than Vader IMO. Finn and Poe are great as well, though the latter could have been in it more. BB-8 Hux is pretty good too. Maz and Snoke were both good in the capacity used but are definitely sequel baiting for more backstory (Maz even says it at one point!). Really my only negative about the new characters is Phasma. She's Boba Fett 2.0 and I don't see that changing in the sequel. Han, Leia, Chewie, and 3P0 are the characters you know and love. R2 was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay underused. When Luke showed up, fucking chills went down my spine. The audience went nuts and I joined in. The story borrow elements from ANH but to say it's a remake is hilarious. Where was that chase on Tatooine? Who was Finn and Poe's equivalent? I could go on. Sure, the plot's safe, but the movie is great so it doesn't matter. I already had Han's death spoiled but for a moment I thought he'd still live. NOOOOOOOOOOOPE. My jaw still dropped when Kylo stabbed him. I didn't expect Kylo to be a Solo after all the hype that Rey was going to be it. The humor in the movie is really well done too. The practical effects looked great, as did the CGI. Sound was amazing. My biggest issue was how underwhelming the score was. It's better than AOTC's and maybe Jedi's but not one I'd pull a lot from. Maybe my opinion will change when I listen to it on my own. Overall, 9/10. Considered giving it 9.5 but I need to see it one more time.

They most definitely move the planet/base to another system, from where they suck the new sun's energy and make another shoot. Which makes you consider why is the weapon focused on shooting rays, when they can just kill their sun. I guess they prefer to keep the distance from their enemies. How do they move it from one system to another? I guess they have a powerful shield, because it's not likely that a normal planet could keep its atmosphere intact while moving faster than light. It all gets slightly ruined if you think about the technical details, which is why I think we don't actually see the Starkiller moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Glad they killed Solo off cuz Ford wouldn't have survived another shoot with all the accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I think they can move the planet, but the weapon can shoot at lightspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's definitely going to want some revenge for Finn's actions in this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan7 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yea but they kinda left it open ended by having him fall into the pit, we aren't sure he's dead after that fall or the explosion that destroyed the star killer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If they dropped Han into the Starkiller beam and disintegrated him some people would say he could rebuild himself like the T-1000. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingcow29 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Actually a crazy thought occurs to me due to my confusion. What if Hans body finds it way to phasma and they turn Han into a weapon cyborg or some type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
