Arenafoot Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 I saw it today at 11am.......... It was most of the other scripts rolled into one movie.

leolinden Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 I liked the movie. Kylo Ren was very good, he was clearly unstable emotionally, and makes him more dangerous. Retro obsessed dude
RickR Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 I loved it. Very much in the spirit of episode 4.
StormSurge Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Posted December 22, 2015 To me, it was more of a original trilogy greatest hits, pulling key moments from all three original movies. (Lonely Force-sensitive person alone on a desert planet, father/son issues & a showdown on a high catwalk & Han having to take down shields on a planet for an attack on a space station)I loved, loved, loved it. (Again, I'm easy to please )
Rowsdower70 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 New favorite Star Wars movie list:1. V2. IV3. VII4. VI Yes for me it was THAT good. It bumped Return of the Jedi with ease, and honestly might be a better movie than IV, but I can't bump that in good conscience.

RickR Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 New favorite Star Wars movie list: 1. V 2. IV 3. VII 4. VI Yes for me it was THAT good. It bumped Return of the Jedi with ease, and honestly might be a better movie than IV, but I can't bump that in good conscience. I agree with this totally.
StormSurge Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Posted December 22, 2015 Absolutely. It definitely cracked my Top 3 as well.
Arenafoot Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 so many questions...........and no answers............I guess I was expecting more...... maybe if Disney hadn't made it, we would have had a 3 hr film with more answers http://www.huffingtonpost.com/seth-abramson/40-unforgivable-plot-holes-in-star-wars-the-force-awakens_b_8850324.html Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
RickR Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Think back to the "Original" Star Wars (A New Hope). It was equally plot-hole filled and left a lot of unanswered questions. This movie, like that one, needs to be evaluated as part of a trilogy. I will never forget that anticipation after episodes 4 and 5 for the next movie that we had to wait YEARS for. Did anyone have that feeling after episodes 1 or 2? I don't think so. That Huffington Post article: You can pick apart ANY movie plot. With that level of criticism, it's a wonder they found anyone that had the guts to make the movie at all. I will admit the fact that Kylo Ren didn't annihilate Finn in a light saber duel was weird...but maybe there will be more to Finn's backstory later...Or maybe Ren was weakened by his earlier act. I'm just going to leave it at this: I loved it. I was entertained 100% for the whole thing, and I totally want to watch it again in the theater. And I'm glad to not have to sit through another 3 hour movie when 2 hours is more than enough time.

AlamoAtari Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 I saw it today with my eldest daughter. I have to say that I was left wanting more, but I can't say that I was let down. Yes we were piecemealed characters from 4-6, but we met characters way better than episode one gave us. Jarjar (shudders) I am actually interested in some of these spinoff movies more than before. Origins stories, stuff like that. Sidebar, did anyone else think that Kilo looked like a younger Snape?
StormSurge Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Posted December 31, 2015 Ha! My daughter said the same thing!
AlamoAtari Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 I was expecting Chewy to take off his mask to reveal Harry Potter. Now that's a crossover!

LeeJ07 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Otherwise, I LOVED IT!!!!!!! It blew all those Prequels out of the water! I loved seeing Admiral Ackbar!! "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
LeeJ07 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 J.J. Abrams, I think I love you, despite the Star Trek thing... "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
RickR Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 J.J. Abrams, I think I love you, despite the Star Trek thing... That's the second pick on Star Trek. What am I missing? The Star Trek movie franchise was a dead and lifeless corpse. He brought it back to life. The movies were fast-paced, well casted, and fun. Yes, there were lots of plot holes.
RickR Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Otherwise, I LOVED IT!!!!!!! It blew all those Prequels out of the water! I loved seeing Admiral Ackbar!! There were audible murmurs of "It's a trap" when Admiral Akbar came out during my viewing. Very awesome.
LeeJ07 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 I'll admit I never saw the other two Trek movies, but the first didn't really appeal to me. Except for Nimoy, he could do no wrong. At any rate, who else here believes Rey is Luke's daughter? "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
