Also

Matt Porkmins.
I was waiting to hear his name was "Porkins" the entire time he was on screen!

It doesn't have to be this way. You all could have so much more if only you have the courage to reach out and grasp it!

Plus it was perfect Star Wars humour.
To me it looked like BB8 gave him the bird.

I thought it was a thumbs up, but seeing how many people are assuming it was a middle finger, im pretty sure it was intentionally ambiguous.
Def thumb. He then divulged the info for Rey

it'd be pretty weird if the middle finger meant the same thing in a galaxy far far away. i guess it's weird that thumbs up is used there too.

I'm glad I avoided spoilers. Even though it was fairly predictable that Kylo would kill Han in the end, it was great to have some tension there because the way they shot it made for some doubt up until the moment. Glad that Ford was up to the task of being Han one more time, despite all his "I don't care" posturing over the years. Made me happy.

- A few posters have watched this multiple times and love it.
- Skitch mostly likes it, but loathes the Millennium Falcon reveal.
- LV hates the whole movie, and is becoming a borderline psychopath.

That's the basic jist.

Just because I've killed three people for liking this movie doesn't mean I'm a psychopath

They've definitely got some work to do in Episode VIII to legitimize this Snoke character...

Luke lost his blue lightsaber when his hand was cut off at Bespin. I mean, I'm assuming thats largely just a gas planet, so it didn't seem likely to me that it would be found unless it filtered into one of those trash shoots that Luke finds himself in.
