Oh, wunderbar, we’ve had Englishmen and Americans, and now this galaxy has Scotsmen too. What’s next? A planet of Irish leprechauns?
So Harrison Ford’s great, as usual, but why is he acting like he’s 30 years old? I mean, he owes money to these two young guys. This would have been fine when he was 30, but, y’know, he’s not.

So, what, Palpatine survived falling down the chute? Got burnt on the way down? Voice changed? How long was that chute, by the way?
Han Solo’s his father? Huh? Is that supposed to be an “I am your father” twist? “He is your father”?

How does she know everything? I think Han loves Chewie more than Leia.

Oh, they’re just all rhetorical questions. The map seems to have been taken from Treasure Planet, which I said was inspired by the prequels, interestingly enough. Han sounds like Indiana Jones in talking about the Temple–Ford’s shot to look like himself as Jones, too. Did the director secretly want to direct an Indy movie or something? Not that I’m complaining.

Hogwarts!
The scenery’s beautiful, at least.

But we haven’t seen any indication that Chewie likes Ray.

And…another cantina. Looks cool, though–again. Again and again and again. Again’s going to be my favorite word while watching this thing, isn’t it? And wasn’t the last cantina called “Mos”? And this alien gal is called “Mos.”
I like the designs of the aliens–I always like interesting designs.
Darth Horseface is horrible. Can someone kill this guy off, and quickly? He’s a whiny brat.

OK, well, he’s got the hots for her, and it does somewhat explain why he changed so quickly. I might have been more broken and less, er, “quippy,” though. (I like his “quippiness”; I just mean that it doesn’t completely for the character.)
The staircase reminds me of one in a recurring dream I had. Huh. Any Freudians and Jungians out there, have at it.

There’s R2! We missed ya, little buddy!
And there’s Darth Horseface! We didn’t miss you, ya loser.
Oh, come on: “it calls for you”? Pure Harry Potter. I see more influence, story-wise, from Potter, Indy, and The Lion King than from Star Wars.

As if we needed the Nazi imagery to be more blatant.

love love the speech / death star attack Yeah, the attack is similar to what I imagined it to be when Peter Cushing blew up Leia’s planet. Speaking of which, where is Leia? Was that an Apocalypse Now reference?

Ahh, now everything looks too silly CGI-y and modern. Bah. And the buildup was so good, too.
