Star Wars The Force Awakens Spoiler Thread

[Zombie Steve]

I'm serious - don't whine at me if you keep reading.





What the hell did I just watch? On the one hand, it was better than the last three combined. On the other, it was major plot elements from the first three

movies made into one movie. Go ahead and tell me which movie these were from:


-Secret data hidden on a droid. Both sides REALLY want to obtain it.

-Giant planet that has a beam that kills other planets. Has a weakness and needs to be stopped.

-Child of someone with the force switches to the other side of the force than the parent.

-Said child fights his father (who dies) after an emotional plea to be a good guy.

-Lots of sneaking around and avoiding patrols (and eventually fighting) on the giant planet that kills other planets.

-Millenium Falcon, in no particular order (which is having some technical problems) smuggles the wanted droid, is called a piece of junk, and winds up fighting a bunch of tie fighters.

Also - While Luke needs a lot of training to harness the power of the force, this chick nails the Jedi mind trick on the second try without ever knowing what the Jedi mind trick even is. She just does it. She can also outmatch someone trained in the force in a light saber duel.


At least it wasn't all CGI and light saber dancing.

Also - what's up with Carrie Fisher's face? Just years and years of cocaine abuse? Plastic surgery? Both? Her upper lip doesn't move.

That is about the same consensus expressed in the other thread.

We can merge them I guess. I know that one started with a big "No Spoilers".

X-wings travelling down a trench. Countdown to death star blowing up a rebel planet. Cantina full of aliens with a cool band.

Hell yeah they copied three of the most popular movies of all time. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. The 3 prequels were trash and they learned from it.

I feel like I just saved $10 for a ticket and $20 for popcorn and a coke.

I just pretend that only episodes 4-6 exist

I didn't jump to these conclusions. There is much mystery in Rey, like who her parents were and why she was orphaned, and it appears that the force is extremely strong in this one. I like the fact that she is a very strong willed character. This defiance is what led her being able to resist Kylo Ren and understanding she had abilities which she was unaware she possessed (The Force Awakens).

Loved seeing Han in this movie as his personality brought a lot to the original films. I'm sorry to see that he won't be showing up in Ep. VIII.

Droids were personal assistants. It doesn't surprise me that their owners would consistently use them for storing information.

I so hate Lucas for his depiction of Anakin becoming Vader. In the original films, Vader was an ominous badass villain. The prequels make him out to be a whiny little bitch.

I'm waiting for the Nutlix version. LOL
