    That would be crazy if Luke dies then Leia all of a sudden is a badass Jedi and kills whoever kills him in a battle (kind of like Yoga / Dooku battle where it was kind of out of the blue)

    Star Wars blatantly borrows from itself and repeats shit. How many fucking deathstars or starkillers are you gonna blow up? There always seems to be a force sensitive young person living on a desert planet who is a good pilot who gets found by a droid, and then gets trained by a wise old jedi. A lot of people just wanted the series to return to the formula that made everyone love it in the first place and at least with this film it has. I have a couple of peeves about it, but for the most part it was great fun.

    EDIT: actually I'd say Han played the Han role and Luke will actually be the "Obi Wan" of this trilogy.

    One thing I will a say about the new films. The original cast sure appeared "haggard." Phew. Harrison Ford looked like a guy who's going into collect his social security.

    Thought Han could care less about the dark or light side? His son chooses a side so he goes back to smuggling? Then I am supposed to care about him when he is stupid enough to walk out on that narrow ass bridge? You cannot walk off those fuckers hand in hand. Two go out, only one comes back. That is the rule.

    The Ren guy is a total dork. Completely un-Sith. The helmet comes off to reveal an emo kid. How disappointing.

    Probably because he's not a Sith.

    Same with Vader, but way more disappointing.

    The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am. It was basically just a rip off of A New Hope. Killing Han was lame. There was a bunch of forced nostalgia. I really hope the next one is better. I don't even understand why there was a resistance when the new republic should have been fighting the remnants of the empire.

    The only thing I was disappointed in was the 2 minutes of screen time Luke got.

    They're setting it up in the sequel. No biggie.

    I've been thinking about how excited I am to see the next one. I would be fine with more dialogue than this first one though. I don't need a shit ton of space fights and blaster battles, there's plenty of action packed movies out there.

    It certainly seems set up to where we open next episode with Rey learning from one of the most powerful wielders of the force in any galaxy. I feel like there is potential for them to be able to outdo the scenes of Luke training with Master Yoda. I feel like they could do something similar but expand on it and give more of a description of the light side and its powers. I'll actually be a bit upset if they don't show a fair amount of her training. I'd like to see the training Kylo is stated to be receiving from Snoke as well. That's one thing they did in the original trilogy that I thought was pretty cool.

    Also props to them for introducing Rey's force powers in a cool way. I thought pod racing was cool and all, but the way they revealed Anakins force abilities was pretty lame. If I remember correctly Obi Wan basically walks into a bar and says that he's special...Or he calls yoda on his iPhone or something.


    Possible spoilers for future movies below. Possibly something you've already come up with though.

    I think that Rey and Ben are brother and sister, and that Luke was training both of them. When Ben turned to the Dark side they wiped Reys memory to keep her from turning as well. During the lightsaber fight with Kylo when she closes her eyes and seems to recall something, what she did was remember the training she had received from Luke.
