The fact that it borrows a lot from the earlier films doesn't bother me at all.
Regarding Rey:
Nice to only have a year and half wait for Episode VIII!
When R2 releases part of the map, they give R2 Luke's light sabre and a message from his sister, then send R2 away in a ship to Luke's location, this is then not referred to again.
When Hans is killed, he does not fall from the gantry and Chewy is on the same level, Hans dies in Chewy's arms.
"My friend, look after the girl , promise me, "
With the fight in the forest, Finn is useless against the force and is knocked out pretty quickly. Rey does her best but eventually is no match for the more practiced and honed skills of Kylo Ren. Ren orders her to kneel in front of him (as a sign of submission and worship). He moves to her side, raises up his light sabre and brings it down in an attempt to take her head off. In close up, as the red "blade" reaches her neck, a blue light sabre comes in and blocks Ren's.
Ren is shocked and looks around.
"You?" We just see a hooded figure in a cloak. A light sabre fight ensues with Ren losing but saved as the planet falls apart. The figure approaches Rey and reaches out a friendly hand to help her up
After the big dogfight set piece is won, the movie finishes with Han's funeral. As all of the central characters stand in respect, a close up of Leia in tears pans to a close up of the hooded, bowed figure. He lifts his head and lowers the hood. It's Luke in tears of sorrow and anguish. He looks across to his sister.
"We fight."
The End
This seeks to deal with Rey being too good in the fight, the rushed end to find Luke and a more deserving send off for Hans. It also cements the future relationship between Chewy and Rey (chewy could die protecting her in future?) It also makes Luke vulnerable as he is enraged by the death of his friend and that could lure him to the dark side
Regarding the Craig cameo:
The film surpassed my expectations, pure and simple, and they were high expectations.
I know which scene it is. Problem is I will not recognize Craig's voice if I watch the OV: I've always heard him dubbed, and the main dubbed version does not feature his usual VA. Maybe if I go to my local language version (yep, we have two dubbed versions. In Bond movies, Craig's VA does both)...
FUN FACT: Our Darth Vader was the same VO that dubbed Roger Moore as Bond (and Charles Gray on DAF).
Sad fact: I actually liked the idea of putting Christensen instead of the original actor.
Sadder fact: I love Chewie doing the Tarzan yell.
I know, I know... It's just that, well, they decided to keep with the new continuity and I liked it. I know it's no good, but I swear I'm a good boy :-S
The force awakens was ok...when it was already made in 1977
They aren't realising that the light sabre Maz gives to Finn after Rey refuses to take it after the reaction she gets from touching it when she discovers it in that chest in the basement of Maz's bar.
Also, it's possible Hans knew who Rey was - because Maz asks 'tell me about the girl' and the scene cuts away. When she confronts Rey later, she appears to know more about her
Not just continuing the story but re introducing the whole tone an concept.
It's the most re watchable film I've seen in a long time. The only weak but was the scene immediately after Han and checked intro. Otherwise I though Harrison ford successfully channelled the character. Very rare that actors can manage that after such a long lay off.
I hope you enjoy! Avoided any and all footage for a few good months before the film debuted, and (somehow) managed to avoid any and all spoilers from the movie, so I was pleasantly, pleasantly surprised. Very entertaining!
Have fun. A truly superior cinematic experience imho.
2. The main hero is an orphan.
3. The main bad guy is a black-masked villain.
4. A droid that bleeps has vital information wanted by the bad guys.
5. The droid that bleeps hides on the main hero's desert planet and meets the hero by chance.
6. The bad guys search for the bleeping droid and destroy the main hero's neighbourhood.
7. The main hero meets a father figure who helps them against the bad guys.
8. The bad guys have a planet weapon that can destroy other planets.
9. On the planet weapon the main bad guy kills the father figure with a light saber.
10. The planet weapon has a major weakness that requires a pinpoint accurate shot to exploit it.
11. The good guys fly x-wings to the planet weapon and destroy it against all odds.
And Harrison Ford still knows how to do it, So I would not mind a Indiana Jones 5 in the next two years.
That was the problem with SP, i liked the film, but it had no heart, and was joy less to many people.
It's not a question of what it did (which may have been derivative), but how it went about doing it that was amazing. Nearly everything is cribbing in Hollywood these days, and real innovation is rare, but one can still create the environment and characterizations so that we actually care about what's going on up on that screen - and JJ did that very well.
