    I believe it was Harrison Ford himself who was asked about it, saying, “A force ghost? What’s a force ghost? I don’t know what a force ghost is, and I don’t fucking care!”

    I felt that Luke DID train Rey in TLJ. I never understood people's claims that he didn't.

    I don't know first hand, but considering that they gave Rian free reign with writing the sequel, it just seems like that was their way of saying "Yeah, go ahead and figure out how to continue with this, because we haven't thought up jack shit." Just my interpretation of the situation, I could...

    I think it's very possible they could still explore Snoke's backstory in the next one. They killed Jigsaw in Saw III and he went on to appear in the following 5 sequels.

    I think Rian was doomed to criticism no matter what his "answers" ended up being. People can be VERY possessive about Star Wars, myself included. When TFA hit the screen, it turned out to not be the Star Wars I was looking for, but I was okay with that. It was entertaining enough and I wasn't...

    What happens on Hoth, gets dumped onto Jakku.

    I think nothing was going to beat TFA. It was the first SW movie in a decade, and the first with the original three cast members in 32 years (one of whom is Harrison Ford). I think the B.O. performance of TLJ pleased Lucasfilm perfectly well as a drop was undoubtedly and inherently expected.

    Aren't a lot of movies like this though? I feel there are a lot of mainstream films over the years that split audiences. The question is then, does it matter? I'm thinking no.

    This is fun! My turn! 1. The Last Jedi - Loved it, up there with Empire as the best SW has to offer. 2. Rogue One - Not at all a distant second, I loved this one too. On my first viewing I found the first half hard to follow and would have agreed that it hurt the movie, but upon repeated...

    I would love to see Liam and Ewan come back as force ghosts. Though I guess they may be tempted to throw in a Hayden ghost too. I'll take it to see Liam as Qui-gon one more time. But in seriousness I'll bet J.J. is just going to throw in more subtle references like the one in TFA. I'm feeling...

    I would buy the new causality theory, but I remember certain aspects of the film that completely contradict that angle. I know a lot of time-travel films have paradox problems if you think about, but they seemed much more blatant and in-your-face with Looper. I'm not super hung up on it though...

    Though I do love Looper and it gives me confidence in TLJ being great, it actually makes no sense as a time travel movie. The nip-picker inside of me just can't ignore the blatant paradoxes that form the entire plot of the film.

    I made the decision long ago to not watch full trailer. I still haven't seen the full trailer for TFA.

    I'll root for Episode IX being good. TFA wasn't at all the Episode VII I was looking for, but I will say it's J.J. best film as a director (and I have seen them all). My biggest problem with it was how much of a re-hash it was plot-wise, but I found the goings-on of the new characters the most...

    Liam Nesson and his character top the short list of things that are great in the prquels.

    I disagree about the prequel's story construction being brilliant. I was 13 when TPM came out and didn't understand a thing about the bigger picture of the story nor any of the politics with the republic. I've have since watched each film perhaps 5 or 6 times each over the years, the most recent...

    Yeah, it's sad the treatment Lucas gets. I'll admit, I bashed the prequel back then, and I still don't have much good to say about them now, but whatever he has or hasn't done over the years, (the SE's, the PT), he gave us the OT and I'll always be thankful for his work. Never had the thought...

    After TLJ got delayed to December 2017, I immediately believed Episode IX would be December of 2019 too. It was only a matter of time.

    I've been saying for years that Jon Favreau should direct a SW movie, maybe he's available? Though without a good idea behind the script, no good director would necessarily make a good movie, and if Episodes VII-IX are being "produced" as being said, I have little hope for IX, or even The Last...
