I was mostly referring to Rey's hand stretching

watched this again tonight. All of the moments still landed on the 2nd viewing and Fin remains just as annoying.

I got slightly annoyed with some of Boyega's exasperated breathing in the first act, but I'm completely invested in Finn by the end of the movie.

McP makes some valid points about the OT character arcs, but are we not admitting to needing all three episodes to fully appreciate those characters' journeys without giving any of our new characters the benefit of doubt after getting one part of the new trilogy.

Vader was a one-trick pony in IV, but nobody would say that after seeing V and especially VI. Ren has gobs more depth than Vader did in ANH.

Lookit you guys nerding without me

I'm not about to read this whole thread but I just saw the movie last night and something is really bugging me. Can someone here tell me why,

Spoiler: show

after "feeling thru the force" Ren has killed Han, does General Leia hug Rey?? a girl she ostensibly has never met before, instead of Chewie, Hans partner for over 30-40 years??
Chewie deserves the sympathy!!

wtf Leia?!?

[@SkitchP]

Chewy and Leia got along and all, but he just lost his best friend of 40 years. Let the fucker have his space if he wants it.

[bada]

I wondered the same thing but I'm assuming she knows Rey even if Rey doesn't know her.

[dimejinky99]

As bada said the thinking is Han and leia both know who she is (meaning Lukes daughter) and if you watch it again closely you can see a few moments where Han really does seem to know her. My theory is they don't tell her cos it's not their place to, they have to send her to find Luke so he can reveal that himself.

About as confusing as why Poe and Finn hugged when they had known each other for a total of five minutes before Finn thought Poe died.

[dimejinky99]

Also, a scene was filmed of leia and Chewie consoling each other and a droid interrupts them and Chewie rips it's arm off in anger. But it was cut out cos Disney.

[dimejinky99]

Could also be that Chewie feels a lot of shame as well as hurt cos he owes Han a life debt and he's failed in his duty o that and his friend.

oooh!!! goodie goodie..

the collider jedi Council FA breakdown is here..was waiting for this..its almost 2 hours long and goes into everything best of all theories and the questions we all have! seriously recommend these guys, they know what theyre talking about

This was enjoyable. It's superfan stuff, but lays out a lot of the interesting directions and world building they laid out the groundwork for.

their spoiler review is awesome too

They had saved each other's lives, helped one compete a vital mission, and the other escape slavery but you are right. A chaste handshake would have been more appropriate. Or a slight nod of the head followed by a thank you card. I am not sure if the card should be handwritten or just have standardized text. I need to see it again to make up my mind

[dimejinky99]

There's a couple of good cam versions out there on torrents. I'm happy to have em until the DVD turns up.
