Especially since Kathleen Kennedy said that this was still a series about the Skywalker family. Given what little Finn tells us about his parents, it doesn't seem likely that they're anyone of consequence. Rey's parents however, or whoever left her in Jakku, are raised in the movie as a significant mystery. Along with why Ren seems to know who she is. I guess it's just me seeing Kylo Ren as the Skywalker heir that has me not fixating on Rey having to be a skywalker. I guess Kylo is technically a Solo (assuming star wars characters take their father's surname). But he's still a skywalker and given his obsession with his grandfather, who is the Skywalker, I find it odd people are searching for a skywalker kid. What I do accpet is that Rey seems more interested in knowing who her parents are. Finn doesn't seem fussed and nothing in the story draws attention to who his parents were/are.

I never said I was proud of her, but I'm sure she will eventually come to her senses, slaughter her pitiful band of 'friends', overthrow the hologram and that pathetic excuse of an emo dark side user, create the second Galactic Empire and take the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, only then will I finally think-that's my girl!. Until then, she doesn't get invited to Christmas lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, I remained very quiet at them, a subtle force push here, a force choke there, and that one time the skies darkened and I thought I could get away with lightning, that didn't work out so well for the opposing team.....

Just not Tom Cruise action films, because he actually does know how to run. One good example: Aragorn in RotK after the Beacons are lit. He looks like he's trying to swim. Also, Han's running is far worse than Rey's in TFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just re-watched the scene where she runs out of Maz's castle, no staff in her possession. Her arms move on her side, slightly bent outward, at the correct rate given her pace. Now we can move on with our lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no outstandingly awesome parts, but several memorable pieces such as Kylo's Shuttle arrival, the attack of the X wings, Rey's theme, Rey arriving on Luke's planet, Rey getting the lightsaber at the end etc Carrie Fisher was actually pretty good as Leia, her delivery was fine imo, the problem was that her voice was so much deeper/gruffer that it detracted from her performance. Still annoyed about her not hugging Chewie at the end though. Kylo Ren was awesome I did feel that Daisy Ridley was a bit weird at times, I couldn't quite work out the character or why she was so excited/upset at most scenes either - although some were great The lightsaber fight is so well choreographed, it is exactly how you might expect that fight to go - all three parts of it, too. EDIT: I noticed the alarm from Rogue One, as well! I agree. The only issue I have is TFA lacked the number of extended shots the original trilogy had where the music could be highlighted. I always liked Rey's theme and it grows on me more and more with each viewing. The ending with the Jedi Steps and mix of themes when we see finally see Luke is fantastic. Another thing I notice more and more is the # of lens flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaddin Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think soundtrack in general is the most consistently excellent part of Star Wars. The OT is obviously the OT, the PT had some great pieces, I really enjoyed both new and the blend of old with new in TFA...can't remember TCW specifically but Rebels has been fantastic on that front too, both with its use of existing pieces and incorporating some excellent new ones. The blend of The Force Theme and Imperial March at the end of the Rogue One trailer gives me chills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Bass Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The movie was on at the dollar theater here, so I went and tried to watch it again on Saturday. "Tried" being the operative word - the first 20 minutes were excellent, but once Han showed up the whole thing just became increasingly difficult to keep watching. There's a huge stretch in the middle of the movie that's dull to rewatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ tried to sneak in as many as he could, without making them too glaring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
