Enjoyable romp, if a little on the safe side.
Ha ha
The opening text with the Williams score gave me a tingle up my spine. They really pulled it off. Ren and Snoke are very worthy successors to Vader and Palpatine. BB-8 is funny, Rey a great heroine, the effects are top notch.
Only quibble is Jar jar Binks being seduced by the dark side, and turning into Dart Darth Binks. Didn t see that coming.
Nice try @Thunderfinger, but we know your humour. :D
Film sounds fantastic.
I have to wait to the 9th of January to see the film here in China.
This is a fantastic addition to the continuing Star Wars universe, it was and is the film I hoped it would be. The ending alone leaves me wanting more, roll on May 2017.
I also have pages worth of spoilers on this board that are safe for me to read now! ;)
They had Kasdan back on writing duties... We'll never have Maibaum back.
We could ask for Haggis, though. As a director, I'm not so sure, but as a writer well, I think it's hard to find someone here who would consider him a bad choice. Even with the Vesper's kid rumour stuff ! Bond *not* caring about Vesper's kid would have been a much more Bondian behaviour with respect to family issues than what we got IMO...
The damn prequels should be ashamed of themselves!!!
My favorite character was Poe- hopefully he'll be in VIII way more. I liked him from the very beginning when he was captured and Kylo was just staring him down, trying to intimidate him, and he's just like 'So.. do I talk first? You talk first? I mean, what are we doing here?" :D
What are your thoughts on Rey's parents? They must be someone important. Maybe even Luke, I don't know! I'm so excited to find out! BTW I was BEGGING for more Luke when the credits rolled!!!
Now that Rey gave him the old blue lightsaber, I was wondering if he even had the green one from ROTJ (technically he did throw it aside... did he actually get it back before the Death Star blew up?)
My only complaint is that Episode VII takes place SO long after ROTJ. I mean, Han & Leia having the son, Luke trains him, and it fails so hard that Luke exiles himself. It's like there's an entire movie worth of greatness that we missed out on and can only hear about through dialogue.
The Force Awakens could have been Episode VIII.
But I loved it, and I'm probably going again today or tomorrow, lol!
Also, I would add that back when Harrison Ford first joined the cast (after years of apparent disinterest in the series) I had a hunch that it was only because JJ agreed to finally kill Han. Unfortunately I was right :((
Seeing Han Solo die was something I could have gone my whole life without seeing.
BUT, it certainly ups the stakes for the next movie.
Come on, Disney, you can do it.
I'll review the film in another thread later but I'm going back for seconds and thirds first. Best SW experience I've had since birth.
I was conceived by the Force. Example 1: I know what you're thinking right now and trust me, she would never let you do *that*!
Example 2: those were the droids you were looking for but hey, fooled you!
:)
but maybe that's a nod to Hayden? :P
And I'm so loving a return to class with the familiar space ships of old - not those curved, shiny, multicoloured and plastic looking Naboo fighters and such of the prequels.
Also, how does Williams do it? This guy is a senior citizen yet his score is full of energy and stamina. RESPECT!
Williams is one of a handful of people alive, in the arts, who is an actual genius. That word gets bandied around far too often, but he is one of the very, very few to whom it applies.
Or
though. The future will tell?
