    Pretty sure Finn would have had horrible diarrhea for the rest of the movie after drinking out of that troth. Always wore the same clothes...

    Before I read this whole thread, I want to say I was disappointed in the "surprise." I hadn't heard anything except that there was a surprise. Solo being killed didn't shock me. It was like Obi Wan getting killed in Ep 1. It wasn't til after the movie that I realized that was the surprise. I was hoping it would be something to do with Luke. Especially since he wasn't on the poster. Good for Mark Hamil that he now has an acting job besides voice over work again.

    Do you mean Qui-Gon? Also, Mark Hammill has been in a few episodes of The Flash as The Trickster.

    That part of the movie pissed me off. Padawans are sometimes trained since birth. She had NO training whatsoever and suddenly she can whoop a Sith Lord with a lightsaber she was previously afraid to touch....

    Just saw it last night (I know, I am behind the times. Damn thing was always sold out).

    I give it a very solid 9.0 out of 10.0

    It was not perfect (of course) but it did a lot of things well. My gripes are minor; Carrie Fisher doesn't seem Leia anymore to me (And not due to looks. Just the "talk" wasn't even there), the random wake-up of R2-D2 and I guess some small plot holes but I think those will be revealed better in the next one.

    My wife did say it seemed too funny to her though. Almost a spoof or parody. I didn't get that from it personally but she isn't the only one who has mentioned that to me after I told people I saw it.

    We don't know that she had no training is the thing. They hint that she may have had training and she just repressed (or "they - someone" blocked) it.

    I'll believe it when they show more of her back story. Until then I'm calling bull. They show her grow up on that Tatooine like planet since she was a kid. Luke Skywalker is about to train her now.
