    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Caught this today (3rd time.. kids with kids), and I noticed something that I didn't before.. When Rey is being interrogated and Kylo talks to her about her dreams "I can see it; a large ocean, and an island.." And where does she go to meet Luke at the end? Island. Just an interesting thing.

    The more I think about this, the more I really hope Rey is an heir to Obi Wan, not Skywalker. The symmetry makes complete sense. Luke Skywalker was trained by Obi Wan. Now, Skywalker gets to train Obi Wan's heir. It stays focused in many ways on the impact that the Skywalkers have in the...

    Mark- On that road, what if Rey isn't Luke's son, but Kenobi's grand-daughter, from a child he hid post his failure with Vader, or his child ;) Or, what if she is the child of a padawan who survived the slaughter in the Jedi Academy? :) I'm not so keen on Rey as Leia's hid away daughter...

    I don't mind negative opinions, I'm not a radical SW nut. That said, I would point out that Lucas has said in multiple interviews he intentionally stayed away from the project because he felt his involvement would overshadow JJ and anyone else; if it was good, they would all credit George. If it...

    I've seen it twice now, and will see it again with the family. The actress who plays Rey for me kills it in this film; she is fantastic in the way she embodies the role. I think that while some are wound up about a female lead (and I've seen some choice and pretty sexist comments elsewhere) that...

    Well, it didn't even really explode.. it just became a new sun. It's as though they "stored up" all the energy of the old sun, and the moment their system went bad, it unleashed itself and there was the sun again where it had been relocated

    On the bridge, Han yells out to him "Ben" referring tohim as his real name. I thought it was a better moment, also Leia says he was 'good once' and he has 'good in him' just something happened during his Jedi training and he got entranced by the idea of the dark side, and that's why Luke blamed...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I thought the actress who played Rey killed it; I thought it was a great role for her. In some ways, this is "action sequence to action sequence" but it never felt boring to me, and the plot hemmed it together. I sat thinking: give me another 1/2 hour.. what I think works most about this, and...
