But it did what it had to do, earn a shitload of money and create more hype for the sequels. hannahttp://newlookblinds.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627288822362203855.post-38519092913472905002016-01-23T06:56:37.302-06:002016-01-23T06:56:37.302-06:00Star Wars film series and comic books are awesome ...Star Wars film series and comic books are awesome I am watching all movie in this series and am also reading all comic on star wars anyways you post its excellent. <a href="http://www.instylejackets.com/product-category/star-wars-film-series-jacket-outfits" rel="nofollow">star wars leather jacket at Instylejackets</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512869029370811178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627288822362203855.post-38042587505508402172015-12-28T18:55:29.388-06:002015-12-28T18:55:29.388-06:00Han was killed because they couldn't afford Fo...Han was killed because they couldn't afford Ford for the sequels.<br /><br />As to acting quality, John Boyega conveys a great deal in the opening battle scene, without saying a word and with his face covered by a mask. Daisy Ridley quite simply eats everyone else's lunch (or everyone else for lunch, take your pick).<br /><br />Ep. 7 is a reboot of Ep. IV. No question. Think of it as Star Wars: The Next Generation. But there's also a passing of the baton from the older generation to the new one, on both sides.<br /><br />When I was watching it, I kept thinking it was a rip-off of Ep. IV. But later, thinking about it, I realized it's also a means of introducing the new characters: Rey, Finn, Poe and Ren (a bit too monosyllabic BTW), and of raising questions about their back stories. the sequels, if well made, should be good.<br /><br />Oh, and I coincidentally got seat BB8 at the theater :)Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627288822362203855.post-54009245488025049212015-12-28T18:46:04.934-06:002015-12-28T18:46:04.934-06:00Harrison Ford has been saying for years that Han S...Harrison Ford has been saying for years that Han Solo should have died at the end of Return of the Jedi, so I'm not sure how much of surprise it really was - it's probably the only way they got him to reprise the role. I do agree that there was too much remixing from Episode IV to make it a really great movie. But there are some interesting directions that they can go for the next movie. (1) It will be interesting to see who Rey's parents are. My own feeling is that making her Luke's daughter would be (a) pedestrian, and (b) not serving the storyline well by making Luke a jerk (although perhaps there are ways out of that). More interesting would be if she were a "clone" of Anakin, or of the Kenobi line. (2) It will be interesting to understand why Luke failed at restoring the Jedi. (3) At some point there will have to be a Leia/Kylo Ren confrontation, and that hopefully will be done well.<br /><br />My complaint about the movie is how much the galaxy has shrunk in the new film. In episode IV, it took a while for the Millenium Falcon to go from Tattoine to Aldaron - thus the shipboard scenes. In this movie, we have visuals of other planets being destroyed in the sky, and it seems like it takes no time at all to get from system to system. Bobby Bnoreply@blogger.com
