If that's the first line of TLJ, I will take back everything I ever said about the new movies.

Did anyone notice Mark Hamill's voice sounds just like Richard Dreyfuss at 3:39 (when he pranks the woman). Lol!

Mark Hamill is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Besides being a nice, talented actor, I love how Mark drops little hints that these new Star Wars films might not be that good. One of my favorite things he said was a comment that it's not important that a movie is high quality but that it makes a lot of money. Mark Hamill is the Obi-Wan of our times.  |

Funny how Lucasfilm rehashed ANH, but they failed to rehash certain things. No real Finn, Rey and Poe trio. Rey and Poe were never even formally introduced, and they'll begin TLJ separated. Also, I would've loved to see Lucasfilm capitalize on Mark Hamill's voice acting talent by having him do the voice of the new villain, in the vein of James Earl Jones. Another actor would fill in as the villain's body. Mark would still play Luke Skywalker as well, and Ben Solo would've began TFA as a Jedi instead of the main villain. |

The Hamill thing would've been brilliant. Weirdly, for all its OT nostalgia beats the one way in which TFA failed even from a fan-service perspective WAS the group dynamics, or lack thereof. This goes two-fold: first, to your point about not solidifying or even establishing any kind of group rapport/dynamic at all between Poe and the other two; second, and in my ever-to-be-so-humble opinion far more damning: they never bothered to reunite the original trio of Han, Leia, and Luke! I mean, in the parlance of HST from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, "Jesus God almighty, man!" If you're Disney you've got the biggest ace up your sleeve in the history of cinema or sleeves: a proper sequel to Return of the Jedi, and here's (as Han Solo would say) "the real trick": you somehow dumped enough cash on Harrison Ford's front lawn to get even him to show up... And you DON'T find some narrative excuse to have just one scene -- ONE! -- with the three principals from the OT before killing Ford's character and sending the captain of the Millennium Falcon off to be one with the Force? Weak fucking sauce. I'd say I can't believe that they blew it, but I can. |

We know they changed their minds about killing Poe, but I wonder if they purposely made sure he wasn't with Finn and Rey on Jakku. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to pilot the Falcon on her own. As you may know, Mark Hamill thought it was a great missed opportunity for Luke and Leia not to be there for Han's death, which would've carried greater emotional weight moving forward. Instead, it's witnessed by two kids who only knew him for 20 minutes. It's similar to Rey hugging Leia instead of Chewie or Rey meeting Luke one-on-one despite Leia desperately searching for him. I wanted the new cast to be the main focus, but I wasn't expecting this. |

I wanted the new cast to be the main focus, but I wasn't expecting this.Agreed. It's not that the veteran characters/performers aren't in central roles. It's that the whole thing sucks. |

Weak fucking sauce. I'd say I can't believe that they blew it, but I can. All of that is the result of being overly concerned with anyone stealing the MarySue spotlight from Rey. Firstly, Poe was originally written to be a throwaway character killed after he "fulfilled his purpose" by delivering Finn to Jakku so Finn can play the needy sidekick to Rey. That's why his character feels so disconnected to the rest of the protagonists (except for Finn). He was piecemealed into the second half of the movie. If Poe is there on Jakku then how do you explain the need for Rey to be a pilot. Secondly, all the original parts that were written for Luke Skywalker kept getting scaled back until they eventually totally wrote him out of the movie (except for that 5 minute no-dialogue cameo at the very end). The motive for that was to keep him from stealing Rey's spotlight. And you sure can't have a trio reunion with one of them standing there with his mouth closed for a few minutes at the end of the movie! |

Could you imagine if Disney, Abrams and Kennedy had made ANH. Ben/ObiWan would've told Luke about the Force at his house and gave him the lightsaber. But instead of saying "I'm getting too old for this. I need your help.", he would've said "I'm too old for this. I can't do this anymore but you can. You know what the Force is now. I'll take you to Mos Eisley and drop you off." Then ObiWan would've been saved at the cantina by Luke cutting up Ponda Baba with his lightsaber. ObiWan would've arranged for Han being the pilot to take Luke and the droids to Alderaan. Then he would've left and went home. Han would've gotten shot and killed in the landing bay when Stormtroopers showed up right before they took off. Chewbacca would've instantly liked Luke and made him the captain of the Millennium Falcon. And once they got to the Death Star Luke would've turned off the tractor beam. Then he would've confronted Vader and defeated him in a lightsaber battle, almost killing him before being chased off by Stormtroopers. |
