Star Wars: The Force Awakens (OFFICIAL THREAD)

[Numero Deux]

Been noticin somethin too...why don't we see Adam Driver at a lot of dese press junkets/promotional appearances n shyt wit da otha stars of da movie?

Yeah, he's only showed up at the ComicCon a few months ago, and that's it. Dude came across as kinda awkward too.

And I haven't seen or heard jack shyt of Max Von Sydow since his casting, it's easy to forget that he's even in this film.

The right actor playing Young Han would be flames and you know it. Chris Pratt looks exactly like acting Harrison Ford and would have that young Han swag on lock. Make Jabba and Boba the main villains and they are printing money

Chris Pratt is older now than Ford was in A New Hope

Isn't it a big deal that Finn can wield it and survive? If the Force is in all things, there's no way he's not Force sensitive; maybe in a different way - like in the original trilogy way instead of the midichlorian bullshyt way -- but the Force is strong within him.

Breh, thank you. I think i finally figured out what they're doing.

Finn's ultimate purpose in the series

You're right.

The force is in Fin but like you said in a different way. A more subtle way.

Spoiler

I think they're making Finn to be the purest embodiment of the light.

Yes, Finn doesn't have Rey's proficiency for the force like her ability to maneuver unfamiliar ships at high speeds, Jedi Mind trick people, and resist Kylo Ren's mental probing

But all of that power is peripheral to the core of the Light. Skywalker level power isn't what the force is about (or Star Wars for that matter).

The emphasis is on honesty, compassion, mercy, self-sacrifice, and other positive qualities.
If you've read the spoilers, 90% of Finn's scenes are of him showing these qualities.
Time and time again, Finn is seen being exceptionally brave with a huge heart; Resisting orders as a storm trooper, Helping Poe escape the empire, Cheering up other characters, facing Kylo Ren when death is certain, etc.
The writer is cramming it down our throats. Finn is the light.

He also has a couple lowkey interactions with Jedi/skywalker relics.

In one scene he's casually toying around with the lightsaber training remote luke used in episode 4. (he doesn't even know what it is)

There is also his mysterious attraction to Luke's light saber. Finn's mesmerized by its power and he treats it like the holy grail (instinctually).

JJ said that Finn is the star of the series, this is what it means

Luke might not be the key to the new Jedi order, Finn is.

Finn's the heart and soul of the Jedi in a way a Skywalker never could be.

He's unconditionally good.

So you're telling me that objectively speaking, separating the Original trilogy, that the prequel films are actually good movies?

Some of the phantom edit cuts on youtube are kinda dope

This is how you make trailers, Ive watched the 3rd one about 30 times no lie and I am still none the wiser.

Unlike other films where EVERYTHING is shown in the trailer, we are still pondering what is going on, we still aint even seen Luke or Andy Serkis yet

Really EVERYONE bruh?

I understand that the big bang theory is the biggest comedy on network tv now, comic book movies are in, and everyone has a computer in their hands now but that doesn't equate to EVERYONE going to see this movie. Star wars hasnt permutated all races and gender like a Jurassic park or the avengers. Star Wars to me is the equivalent to Lord of The Rings franchise. And just because the movie is trending on twitter doesn't mean shyt breh when it comes to this opening weekend. I think the movie will def. make a billion total, only because the star wars fandom will take it there regardless of quality of film (I.E phantom menace).

But Avatar numbers? I don't think so breh.

Dude this will crush buildings and surpass Avatar and Titanic

There's a lot of characters we haven't seen yet. I think 3 of them have lines in these trailers. We haven't even seen any space battles, which is kind of crazy.

I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't shown anything from the last third of the movie. Maybe even the last half.

Dec 16th, (well technically 17th as going to that midnight screening) cant come soon enough

I kinda think that the x-wing and tie fighter battles will be hybrid space/planet battles.

fukk I won't be able to buy a ticket until November 1

 

[THASTUNNA]

The only thing to me is the timeline , is that wouldn't Han have had to get back with his wife after ROTJ and then have Finn like say 8 years after that movie . Isn't this 30 years After ROTJ

Yea that's what they say. Poe is in the comics and probably around 5 or 6.

 

[THASTUNNA]

Props! Damn so the knights of ren are 7 dark side force users and kylo is the head of them?!? That Sith rule of 2 shyt is done now. This dude gotta be a beast to keep 7 of the nikkas in check

KOR = the new sith. The rule of 2 could be out the window

 

[Real]

Anyone got a link for the new episode of rebels from tonight?

 

[LEEeveryday]
