    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Hey guys, chiming back in after seeing the post about Cinefex magazine.I use to collect that years ago. I managed to find a used copy that covered Star Trek The Motion Picture, so I was very happy and didn't need to keep collecting. The fact that its on an iPad edition now is very cool and I'll...

    Josh, regarding Han's death and Kirk's death, I agree. You put it very well.

    Dave, I had a similar feeling about Han's death. It reminded me as well of Kirk's death. It just didn't feel right in both cases. It didn't seem well handled and I wished they didn't go there.

    Thanks for the link earlier to the Charlie Rose interview with George Lucas. I only saw the two minute version but will watch the entire interview. I'm not a defender of Lucas and I don't dislike what he did with the prequels. I do wish we'd see the original films as they originally were...

    That's a great idea Travis, Grunberg could have been Porkins' relative or son! [emoji3]. You're right in that it stuck out for me because I knew of Grunberg and JJ's past. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. I did notice Leung too, but he wasn't as impactful on me. That's interesting about Fisher's...

    Hey guys, A random thought. I've still only seen TFA once. Outside of the big questions that we've been pondering about who Rey's parents are, one thing that I just remembered sort of bugged me. Greg Grunberg. He stuck out like a sore thumb for me. When he appears, the first thing in my mind...

    About the CGI characters, sure they look like CGI. I knew it, but I was OK to accept that. The performances are well done and I can overlook it. "When 900 years old you reach, look as good, you will not...." In 1980, when I first saw Yoda, it was so well done, I didn't mind it was a muppet.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I still have only seen TFA once! Looks like the movie is going to do very well indeed. On a slightly different topic, I have been rewatching the original trilogy the last week and ended with Return of the Jedi last night. I was watching the blu rays, so they are the altered versions. But the...

    Just curious, I thought Anakin was taught that a Jedi cannot have a wife. Of course he twisted that to Padmé. Or maybe in Luke's time, those older traditions are no longer relevant.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I know no one will know the answer. Just wondering when the 3 disc 3D/2D Blu Ray will be released. They should be able to sell a couple copies. Maybe there'll be Into Darkness kinds of exclusives? [emoji1]. I'm pretty sure they learnt their lesson on that one. Unless Google and Amazon have...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Hey Josh, just saw your post. You make a very good point about why JJ Abrams was brought into make The Force Awakens. I hadn't thought of that and it's a good point that his film was the one that reintroduces the franchise to the audience, and I'm sure more so to a new younger one! I'm not...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Thanks guys. [emoji4]. Josh, your post made me think of something, in the Star Trek world, there is the original series and that time line. And then there is the JJverse alternate timeline and there is the same divide with fans there. But I never thought that could happen in the Star Wars...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Guys, I don't have a lot to add, you covered a lot of the plot points and character issues I had. I did enjoy it. It was fun and they delivered a fine movie. Briefly, I couldn't get over how fast Rey was able to use the Force and the Jedi Mind trick. I can only guess when Kylo was trying to...
