Re: SPOILER TALK: Star Wars: The Force Awakens

This is a great read. It addresses some of the stuff that I've seen a lot of complaints about in this thread--particularly the end fight between Ren and Finn/Rey.

From a New Hope to No Hope At All: “Star Wars,” Tolkien and the sinister and depressing reality of expanded universes

It was fired plenty of times in the movies. The escape from Cloud City scene comes to mind right away, as well as the escape from the Death Star.
When they were escaping from Cloud City Chewbacca used the Stormtrooper blasters that Lando confiscated when he rescued them. I watched this scene just last night. But Chewie did fire it in the movies several times and it was red each time.

I think Phasma will be great. I'm looking forward to her getting more screen time in the next movie. If she doesn't I will be disappointed.

Also, Finn is not a "janitor." He is a fully trained Stormtrooper who had sanitation duty when he was on base.

Re: SPOILER TALK: Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I really liked it.

Only two question marks really stood out as I watched it the first time: I agree that Rey seemed a bit too quick a study of the force, but I think there were hints of explanation in the next episode(s). Ren's injuries explain at least partially why she was able to keep up in the lightsaber duel, despite being an apparent novice. My other quibble is that Phasma seemed a little quick to go along with her captors demands, but not a big deal.

Most of all, I was just happy to be able to really like a Star Wars movie again.

I don't always use custom units, but when I do I use Sherman Davies Marvel customs.

Yes!!!

It captured the whimsy and the fun and the simple good vs. evil spirit of A New Hope. It captured everything that was best about that movie, freshening it up a bit and changing enough that it was fresh. I look forward to seeing what's next.

It wasn't the best movie ever made, but Star Wars sure as hell wasn't, either.

I dare you to try telling ten-year-old me that.

Re: SPOILER TALK: Star Wars: The Force Awakens



Ten-year-old me lived in Miami and loved a little hole in the wall pizza joint called Frank's Pizza. We all did in my family, it was a special place. Best pizza, you could get slices, Frank was an old Italian guy behind the counter who knew us. There has never been better pizza than Frank's, and will never be better pizza than Frank's. I'm at peace with that.

Found this on Youtube today. Anyone who's seen the movie ought to watch it, because as far as I'm concerned, this is canon.
