Movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens - *Spoilers & Rumours inside*

[Geelong_Sicko]

Yeah, it sucks when the screen is black and you can't see anything.

Space is a vacuum, man. Nothing would explode. You can't even hear people scream...

I'd love to see Disney do a Star Wars TV sitcom.

It's Always Sunny in Coruscant

Oh her name was Brienne. It's been too many months since the last ep, I forgot.

I can already see in ep8 when Luke tries to explain to Rey Jedi techniques, she will turn it around and teach Luke how to use the force properly, like she told Han how to repair the Falcon.

 

[mike123]

Luke: feel your inner midichlorians to use the force

Rey: exile has made you crazy, that's not how the force works!

A similar personality, Jacen Solo, appeared in the continuity of Star Wars Legends. Like Kylo Ren, Jacen was the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa who was trained as a Jedi by Luke Skywalker, only to turn to the dark side and take a new name, Darth Caedus.[8] A villainous character named Kybo Ren appeared in the 1985 Star Wars: Droids animated series.[9] Michael Arndt stated Kylo Ren's backstory came about from needing a rationale for the original trilogy's main characters to have separated after Return of the Jedi.[7]

A Star Wars TV sitcom.

"One and a Half Droids"

After the breakdown of the empire, and the uncertain balance in the galaxy, our two favorite droids, c3po and r2d2, abandoned by their owners who have bigger things to worry, the droids are forced to share an apartment together as they get their lives back in order. Basically, a mix of the Odd Couple and 2 1/2 Men.

Who is supposed to be more powerful in SW canon out of Luke and Anakin?

Anakin was supposed to be GOAT but could never fulfil his potential in account of his getting rekt by Obi Wan. This is why the Emperor was after Luke in RotJ, I think.

Luke was obviously more powerful by the end of RotJ because he defeated Anakin.

 

[weevil]

Darker isn't always better.

In Star Wars it pretty much is.

The emperors motives were never clear to me but IIRC it was Vader's idea to turn Luke initially.

I'm guessing the Emporer wanted Luke because if he'd turned he'd be practically a younger non robot Vader.

Yeah it has a good chance of cleaning up at the oscars in a year that didn't have a lot of great films...

Harrison could win an Oscar..

It could get best picture as well..

Well, did you read that article above??

Apparently, yes.

Quite honestly Abrams and Mindel stepped up their game with the cinematography of this film. There's so many wonderful shots in the movie and it's a hard choice to pick a favorite scene.

For instance, this shot. Visually, there's a little of Kubrick in it. And the use of colors...the black, blue and red on the ceiling. It's a cold, violent image, but it's also beautiful.

Reminds a lot of 2001 and A Clockwork Orange. The cold beauty and elegance of 2001, combined with the unsettling violence of A Clockwork Orange. Despite some who are labeling TFA a mere popcorn flick, this is a visually rich and layered film. It utilizes the visual language of cinema in a way that most blockbusters don't.

The various landscape shots on Jakku are worthy of David Lean and the various battle sequences remind of Peter Jackson's work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. There are no doubts in Rian Johnson being able to hold his own in continuing with that level of visual quality, but one hopes Colin Trevorrow steps up his game and gets a better D.P. than the one he worked with on Jurassic World for Episode IX.

However it is a bit frustrating though that the editing of the film has resulted in some mistranslations of the cinematic language to the audiences in regards to the world-building information that it tries to convey.

Apparently, yes.

If it "cleans up", ie wins 6 Oscars or more, I will give you 500 Australian dollars.

If Harrison Ford wins the Oscar for Best Supporting, I will give you 500 Australian dollars.

And if neither of these things happen, you give me 500 Australian dollars.
