Here's where we can discuss the new Star Wars movie.

Post dates where it will start in your country (USA = Dec 15)

Remember, Use Spoiler tags if you've seen the movie!

BB-8 was the "Mary Sue" character in this film, IMO. (I didn't even know what a "Mary Sue" character was until watching YT vids about TLJ speculation.)

When BB-8 fixes the ship by sticking his head on the circuit board

Funnily enough, that didn't bother me, what bothered me was the way he tried to do it before that. At that point, when he did that, i was already so annoyed at the scene that i was like "alright, at least this is somehow related to electricity and not water".

Nah, to me its still Rey. She was already a Mary Sue in the first movie, and keep in mind, this whole movie is contextualized by the fact that we see Fin coming out of the bakta tank, he was put into at the end of the last movie, and the movie pretty much picking up where the last one left off. That means Rey goes from nobody junk yard girl to Master Jedi, lightsaber Badass, by a factor of 10 in the span of what.. a month?

Luke, in the first Triology, at least had months and months of off screen training time between first and 2nd movie. Rey had days.

And no, i don't think that is a Spoiler, because its already in the first movie. They just pile onto it in this one.

I know, right! Who'd have thought it?

Didn't get how Snoke, seeing he said he can read what Kylo was thinking, couldn't sense that Kylo was turning that lightsaber 90° and On....

Well Kylo was turning his own saber and turning it on, so doing the same thing to 2 at once supposedly masked it... It was a somewhat weak explanation though

And Luke totally Pwned Kylo by presenting himself as a "hologram". Not sure why that made Luke die, however.

Do you KNOW how far away that was! It's really hard! Really REALLY hard! :)

Well, but think of the merchandising possibilities. Look at Minions. Roughly pillshaped critters with big eyes are cute.

(And the audience seemed to lap it up in the cinema i was in, so i assume its gonna work)

I feel like the only one who hasn't seen this movie, yet! Next weekend I'll go. Until then, I have to keep avoiding this thread!

Blu-Rey, er, umm, I mean Blu-Ray?

[joeylawn]

To those who saw the movie and stayed for the Credits - Was there an "In Memory Of" for Carrie Fisher?

[Ishan451]

Supposedly there is one. I didn't pay attention, i was busy chatting and leaving the theatre, before being trampled to death by everyones movie ending (i hate crowds)

[Snorkel]

According to the internet, it has that after the credits. I guess I just missed it.

Conspiracy time:

Did Mark Hamill not know about Luke's death?

Spoilers, obviously
