SPOILER ALERT Force Awakens SPOILER thread

[Qwyksilver]

Was a decent episode.

Went to SWTFA for the second time yesterday.

 

I enjoyed it just as much the second time, and in fact the few nitpick nits that I could have extrapolated were LESS noticeable this time, for me.

 

I still am not overly fond of the the ... [pac man tentacle monster] sequence. But seriously, it's like 4 minutes and I can so easily overlook it. In fact, I had forgotten it was even in the movie until it happened. 

 

And Maz Kanata was 10x more enjoyable the second time.

Not to nit pick but it's SWTFA.  Star Trek stopped making pictures years ago.  (Anyone who talks about the two films that had that in the title, they have no relation to Star Trek except for similar character names.)

A friend just showed me these great "What If..." videos for Episodes I, II, & III. The guy who does these has great ideas. If I had won the Powerball lottery, I'd pay someone to have these versions made! They're the new canon in my mind.

 

(Language warning. There's a few F-words tossed around.)

[Pegazus]

Yeah, seen those. Liked his ideas.

[Cranky Dog]

Saw it for the second time yesterday. In glorious 2D non-IMAX this time. Still enjoyable, and the room was mostly empty (hooray for Monday afternoon screenings!).

 

One thing I didn't notice the first time was the final scene when we finally see Luke, Luke is standing near a headstone (for Han?). And he still looks like a haggard burnt out hippie with a screw loose.

[ShadowRaven]

he's a jedi. So of course he's a haggard burnt out hippie with a screw loose. Jedi come in two types. Bad elf Mother smurfers with purple blades, or hippies with loose hardware

Behold! The Kylo Ren cat!

 

This is making the rounds on book face right now. The cat was recently adopted.

 

 

 

 

[JeffStray]

Yes, but then this.

So I was watching this cereal commercial and it was advertising glow in the dark decals from star wars.....problem is the song they were playing was "Mars, the Bringer of War by Gustav Holst.

 

 

Wut.......I get that they may not have been able to get the rights for the actual Star Wars songs but the Gustav Holst song doesn't fit at all....

[wargamer]

it's a non-earth song, close enough to some marketing genius

It's got Mars in the title, that's pretty space-like.

must have been a trekkie assuming some star wars fan wouldn't know the difference

Hey now...

[wargamer]

was that a bit inflammatory?  I thought it was common knowledge that star trek is science fiction with the emphasis on science.  whereas star wars is a mere space operatic futuristic fantasy.
