Funny how they name Finn after the cell that Leia was held in a New Hope....
melissa harris parry made an interesting argument
she argued that Star Wars is racist because Darth Vader is voiced by a black man, but was a white man when they took off the mask
1. He doesn't go down immediately. And he actually manages to strike and partially wound Kylo Ren. To me he showed alot of potential.
2. Yes
3. Finn and Poe appear to be becoming really good friends. That scene is actually not when they first meet up. When see other they run up and hug and are very glad to see each other. Poe thanks Finn for completing his (Poe's) mission.
4. Unfortunately the Academy scenes were very minimal. Just the Luke/R2 scene,what we see in the trailer of the KOR, and Kylo Ren stabbing someone. Oh and Rey being dropped of at Jakku at like 5 years old.
@DarthHumanist
How is the feel of the movie. Does it remind you more of the Original Trilogy or the Prequels? I was told the film is essentially a remake/mashup but with new faces. Is this true?
no mention on how Maz gets Anakins'Luke light saber?
Just found out alot of movie theaters are going to be open 24 hours for this.. 2am & 5am showings
How long does Finn last with Kylo until he's wounded?
The voice over heard in the first trailer "there's been an awakening..have you felt it?" Does that make into the movie?
Are Finn and Poe friends? What's the context of the scene in the trailer where they pass by each other and Finn turns around to look at him
Does the Jedi academy flashback have a lot of significance? What I mean by that is so they show how many apprentices Luke took on and how long time passed before it was decimated?
That's the thing, I can't believe ppl legitimately thought Finn was going to be the main character (based off of red tails, lucas's black wife and being the 1st shot in a trailer? ) and are now going to let reality ruin any chance of enjoying the movie.Oh shyt im dying seriously tho Fukk Finn. I dont give a shyt if he's the new luke or lando ass nikka. I want to see sith lords catch wreck and if Plagiues is behind the fukkery. Yall kno hollywood wouldnt let a strong black man be a white cacs savior. Yall better watch some clips on Blacked for that

Ps remember when the 1st few trailers ran and there was that movement to ban star wars because they assumed by boyega being the integral hero the movie was somehow anti-white? I wonder how abbrams and the Disney execs feel trying to sell star wars as this thing for everybody when that was the level of backlash just off a couple trailers
Wait you saw it ? You seem to have mellowed someIn regards to Finn/Rey :
I've seen differing opinions, but the trend seems to be that they *are* in fact somewhat flirtatious in this.
Yes, he's more thirsty, and she even tells him "stop holding my hand" in the beginning, but they seem to grow very close in the end. Fighting for each other. She kisses him on the forehead at the end.
They are probably setting something up for future movies.
Some reviewers have described them as similar to Han/Leia in the beginning of ESB.
It's just hard to really explain because...it's not plot centric, you kinda just have to see their chemistry and the way they act towards one another.
Her and Poe don't seem to share any scenes together.
Rey's Heritage : They DO.NOT.TELL.YOU. However, it's hinted to be Skywalker.
Nobody knows right now.
