I love how you just openly talk about him on the public forums while he's still online.

Anyways, I like him so far. He seems genuine enough, so I appreciate that.

I have this bad self-destructive habit of spoiling pretty much everything in a movie before I watch it. The good part is I forget the bulk of information in mere seconds, but big details like Han's death I'll definitely remember. Not like I didn't expect someone to die though. I get everyone's opinions, and still hold on to my speculations from back when news of Disney's purchase came out, but I'll end up letting the film speak for itself.

What Hans dies? WTF. They always kill off my favorite characters like old Ben and now Hans Solo. Where does it end?

and btw thanks for spoiling it for me.

but... you've seen it.

I was just kinda going along with Batlord's thing. Anyone stupid enough to click on this thread without seeing the movie gets exactly what they cane for (myself included).

Oh god yes. They spent so much time trying to relive old glories that the movie never actually developed a personality of its own.

And one thing that's bugging me: what the hell is the power dynamic between the New Republic and the First Order? We know there is a Resistance, which implies that the First Order is the more powerful, but the New Republic had control of Coruscant, and was apparently capable enough of defending it that the First Order couldn't conventionally, and had to use a superweapon against it.

In the first trilogy it was very clear that the Rebellion's fight against the Empire was next to hopeless, and the Empire was a towering figure of malevolence to strike fear into the hearts of children and puppies. But I have no idea about the First Order, which makes it pretty hard to set up tension.

I thought it was horrible and a disgrace to the Star Wars genre!

The original Star Wars movie was a fairy tale written for adults loved by children.

And although Return of the Jedi and some of the prequels were leaning towards the kiddies they always had an adult theme to them.

This movie was written and acted for 8 year olds! I mind as well been watching G.I. Joe 2.

It sucked! R.I.P. Star Wars

I was joking. :/

I've been watching a few vids on YT rehashing a reddit about Jar Jar Binks. I don't know though if everything Lumpawarroo says holds up. That was up to George Lucas if Jar Jar really was that sinister, but now he handed it over to Disney, nothing may come of it,or any of his ideas.
