- Hey look the Stormtroopers learned to aim, maybe it’s because their new helmets have eye holes in the right place
- Jakku may be even more of a shithole than Tatooine – if that’s even possible.
- Is Rey’s stick just a stick or does it shoot lasers? Her boots look so comfortable.
- BB-8 is the best thing about this movie. Is he a unique model or a new kind of astromech droid or just a beach ball that became sentient? Who knows? Who cares? Wookieepedia editors probably care.
- Han continues to give no shits about what parsecs are
- Ahhhh the Powerpoint scene transitions are back
- Finn is so useless, I love him and his bromance with Poe
- I get that Maz is supposed to be a wise Yoda-type character but she reminds me of Edna Mode from The Incredibles
- Hey look it’s the little Jedi training laser ball thing! And Space Chess! Let the Wookiee win.
- Is Rey a Skywalker or is it going to be another case of Immaculate Conception?
- Kylo Ren feels like a real person, not just a villain. He’s not just “evil”, he has issues, he loses his shit and he probably has had a lot of parental pressure to deal with
- It’s incredible how much emotion comes across despite the fact that he’s almost always masked.
- How does Ren’s hair stay so luscious under the helmet?
- No mention of midichlorians. Good. All I learned at Jedi Academy is that Midichlorians are the powerhouse of the force
- Threepio, forever a cockblock.
- If Threepio went from naked to silver to gold, should he be made of diamonds or something now?
- Oh look, his arm is red. How symbolic
- Hux a.k.a. Space Hitler a.k.a. Bill Weasley seems like a more interesting version of Tarkin or Piett. His relationship with Ren is interesting
- It looks like Captain Phasma is the new Boba Fett in the sense that the hype and fanbase is disproportionate to screen time
- Did she get put in the garbage compactor or not?!?
- Ben? Why not Obi-Wan? Or even Jacen, as it was in the EU?
- The cinematographic use of lightning when Han confronts his son is perfect.
- The unpolished sabre battles are a welcome change from the underwhelming choreography of the Original Triology and the pixel-perfect plays of the Prequels. Kylo Ren’s skill is questionable and it looks like his lightsabre is somewhat dysfunctional – possibly because he salvaged the crystal from Vader – while Rey relies on pure instinct with zero training
- Luke, I’m pretty sure that the Jedi Temple was on Coruscant, not on that rock in the Scottish Highlands
- I’m seeing this again in a few days – then – commence the countdown to Rogue One.
