I LOVE Han Solo- but part of his cool factor is his mysterious past!'
I'd also be more excited for an Ewan McGregor starred Kenobi movie. He was the one good thing about the prequels
I agree with that. He was an excellent casting choice. I suppose that may be one of the biggest factors in why I would prefer an Obi Wan film: I believe McGregor as Obi Wan, but whoever is cast as a young Solo will have some very large shoes to fill.
Don't get me wrong, I can still have a very good time watching Jedi, Phantom Menace, Clones and Sith, but yeah, TFA had no trouble climbing above all four of these in my final rankings. Even if it brings up familiar elements in more or less the same way as before and with more or less the same stakes, it feels sooooo good, sooooo delicious after the prequel trilogy, which I don't loath but can recognise as lacking the magic that SW, ESB and TFA bring. I don't want those overcomplicated politics, the chewing gum love story and droid Force users anymore. This is back to basics and that's why I love TFA almost to equal measures as I do SW and ESB.
Putting TFA above Jedi proved challenging at first for I sincerely enjoy that film too. But Jedi is where the cracks are showing. It's basically about tying up a few loose ends from the previous two films and then redoing the Battle of Yavin too. Granted, the throne room scenes are EXCELLENT! But the Ewoks are a fundamental flaw. Ergo, spectacular as the Battle Of Endor - and I'm talking about the great space dog fights, mind - may be, Jedi is the lesser of the two when compared to TFA, at least IMO.
No problem, i'am seeing the film tonight for myself, i'am sure its going to be excellent. :)
Yes, i did realise, that the rating for the film was high on IMDB, except for the fact that a
large percentage of the user reviews were totally negative towards the film, which was a surprise, together with GL's comments from his interview that he thought that Disney had been very negative, with their approach in moving the franchise forward.
I see George Lucas has made an apology to Disney, as he had earlier referred to them as 'White Slave Traders'. Wasn't a very smart thing of GL to of said, after being paid an astronomical $4 billion for his franchise.
After all, Orion was called the skywalker, he has a sword and a belt.
......without giving away spoilers, i'am referring to the use of the force.
Well they sure have got a lot of things to explain in the next film or two?
Anyway, it was a very good fun film. Was surprised to find out that BB8 was actually a real robot (remotely controlled of course), and not a CGI creation.
Very clever how they figured out a way to make BB8 move, and keep his head upright!
Tom Cruise is too short to be a stormtrooper. ;)
Or one of them was the stormtrooper with the electrified tonfa? Although my guess there would be that it was one of the Indonesian guys, Iko Uwais or Yayan Ryuhan.
Other than that, I can´t recall any noteworthy stormtrooper.
I dunno about plot holes. I get the feeling people want everything handed to them on a plate up front rather than leaving things open ended these days. There are some big ones in spectre and skyfsll but I consider them logic issues rather than unexplained things.
We know Star Wars is a 3 film story arc. I would bet big that rey had prior training as a child.
My main issue was star killer base. The depth of the trench is like thousands of miles deep. That's a lot of land to shift and would probably alter all sorts of physics of the planet. Not to mention how it took the energy from the sun.
But if take this any day over trade routes, blue screen and the new song and dance number in jabbas palace.
But then again, we´re talking about technology we don´t understand. After all, the physical challenges of the Star Killer Base aren´t really that much bigger than the question where Darth Vader got all that metal for his Death Star ;-). I´m sure the article is hidden somewhere on these pages that calculated not only how many planets they had to empty of ore to get that much metal, but also how much time it would take to produce metal from ore in such quantities.
And then imagine a production flaw in one of the production plants, and the Death Star falls apart because that. Good thing it didn´t come to that!
If you people were any funnier.........i might actually Laugh! :D
