Thinking about it, sorta wish we didn't know Kylo was Hans son until he calls him by his real name on the bridge

Yeah, they kind of hammered it home a bit too much. I loved that his name is Ben.

[VinylGuy]

yeah it was a really good touch.

It would have been a cool reveal. No doubt some would think it too much like the reveal in empire but Snoke saying 'your father, Han solo' was a bit ott.

They could have let that be a little mystery even with Han and leias scenes and wrote it to make it look like they meant Luke, just cut the line to 'go find him' instead of 'find our son'


But it's of no matter. Just thought they did that a bit heavy handed

Its a Disney movie. They need to hammer it home for the kids.

The thing is JJ kinda fucked those things with Into Darkness. He pretty much gave us a really similar scene here, and the whole ¨ Your are my son¨ would have remind me of the KHAAAAAN mess in that movie.

Reading this thread makes me so excited for the adoration-filled posts that will greet the next Pearl Jam record.

Yeah I guess so.


And great point about needing to hammer it home for the kids. In that light I see the need for it.

I am cracking up at how excited I am. I am too old for this shit. Its cool. I love it.

[McParadigm]

Holy shit. You guys are already pretending to be able to decide how it ranks next to movies that you have lived with for 35 years?

Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior.

Yeah, I don't care how much you love it, just wait a little. Although that didn't change stip's mind with Backspacer so what do I know.

HOW DID VADER'S HELMET NOT COMPLETELY MELT?!?!?

I am cracking up at how excited I am. I am too old for this shit. Its cool. I love it.

All the positive reviews has only added to my excitement. Last time I looked forward to movie like this was Dark Knight Rises but the mixed review tempered my enthusiasm. Not the case this time.

Enjoy this feeling. Whatever happens, whatever you think of the final product, take a moment and really enjoy what you're feeling right now. Be present in your happiness. Such a rare thing.

What he said.

We very rarely get to be this excited or happy after the fact
