Originally posted by Impedimenti agree it seemed to get swept under the rug rather quickly. It also made me wonder what landos up to if hes even still alive, and if their gonna have a scene where he hears the bad news.
Chewbacca deserved to have a moment, yes. Han's death just seemed so casual to me.The Game of Thrones reference is lost to me. Not a fan at all.
Originally posted by Bashar TegTbh the funniest moment in the film for me was when Threepio's face popped up and he was all like "it is I C-3PO!" 😂
extremely dumb. almost as dumb as thinking that surrender to the empire was a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances. going so far as to suggest that they may be gracious enough toanyway they certainly could have picked a funnier and more clever way for 3p0 to annoy han.

Watching it again tonight hopefully. Can't wait to see the post-crawl opening shot of the Star Destroyer again, probably the best opening shot of any Star Wars film other than the first one.
The opening crawl itself was dissapointing, though. It explained none of the politics that it should have, only the "force" side of things.
In fact, that's part of the story that really, unexpectedly bothered me. Everything was about the Force. Even Poe Dameron was talking about the balance in the first scene. I mean, you could tell this was written by a fanboy, tbh. The treatment of the force is just... Off, not right.
Originally posted by carthageNah, they were excellent but they didn't have as good a dynamic as the OT crowd.
The acting was possibly on par with the greatest of the OT moments. Boyenga and all of the cast absolutely put their hearts in the film, and outshined the OT cast in every way in the passion they put from their facial expressions to expressing their dialogue.

I liked Poe Dameron actually. For the first time we see a pilot know to be very good, and we actually SEE him be very good.And yeah, Phasma... what an obsolete character was that. You think she is still alive?
too good to not be strong with the force imho. that one scene was way over the top enough to where he alone could have changed the whole ending of rotj where all the ties are shot down and lando casually glides the falcon into the death star.
K, Han Solo death hit me went the lightssaber went through him. It was something when ren said "I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it". Saw his death coming when he said that, but was still shocking to me. Now it seems supreme leader snoke will have to complete Rens training as he needed to kill his father first. He's a puppet just like Vader was, except this time it's snoke running the strings
I'm not totally convinced Han is dead though but probably. Leia didn't seem too upset about his death?
Now Snoke must be a sith. Wasn't much explanation of snoke in episode 7 as it's obviously setting up for episode 8.
The ending, wow, Luke to be the new yoda with Rey.
Oh, what's with the blue lightsaber that belonged to Luke? Luke lost his blue one (originally anakins) in esb when Vader cut Luke's hand off. In episode 6 Luke had a green lightsaber. My guess is that Luke built a new one after episode 6...
I could go on, but that's my initial take.....
