The Force Awakens (SPOILERS)

[Night Fury]

Have seen this twice now, first watch I really thought that Rey might be Luke's daughter, but my second watch I am leaning more towards her being a child of the force sent to bring balance once again similar to Anakin. I also think Kylo Ren may cross over between good and bad through this trilogy, he was very conflicted in TFA.

I liked the fight with Rey and Kylo, she was definitely going to kill him if it wasn't for the ground cracking and splitting them up. She has a lot of anger.... Interesting indeed.

The shot of her walking through the dunes of Jakku with BB-8 though was one of my favourite shots in the movie.

It's very rare for me to form attachments to characters this quickly. 9/10

From what I've read, Poe Dameron was actually supposed to die on Jakku. The actor was conflicted about taking the part because he didn't want to be this character that dies right near the beginning. They came up with an idea to have him play a bigger part. I'm not sure if that just meant more screen time in the first movie or if they had a bigger role for him to play in the future movies as well.

Watched this yesterday, and I am pretty satisfied. Unfortunately, I had to go with the 3D version, which I rarely feel like adds anything to movies, and definitely not in this one.

I liked most of the new characters, but if I had to pick a favourite, I'd probably end up at Rey. Finn was pretty cool too. Kylo was ok, but there was something about his appearance that just didn't work for me. Maybe it's just what others have said, that it's just really unlikely that the child of Han and Leia would end up looking like that. I'll probably get used to him in time.

Definitely felt like a proper Star Wars movie to me, and I feel that the characters and writing is a step above most of the original trilogy.

I am really hoping Poe has a good part in the Rogue One movie.

Rogue One is set before the original Star Wars so... Poe would have been about -2 years old at that point. He's a damn fine pilot but there are limits!

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Well poop. I hadn't realized that.

No excuses. Rogue One ends with 2 year old Poe aiding the Rebels against the Empire making cute toddler noises, OR WE RIOT!

[Psychotic]

Or minus two year old Poe flapping about as a giant space sperm.

I doubt her mother is Maz. There's a reason for that aside from "clearly human". Maz states to Rey in the scene where she tells Rey to take Lukes Lightsaber, that she does not have the force but that she understands it thanks to her long life.

I also am of the opinion that Anakin did bring balance to the force. Despite it being not what the council of Jedi wanted from him. It was an interesting display of the fact that the force must be balanced. Though as has been proven by the story's development of Leia's character where it's made clear she has the force but is not trained in it's use. She simply has an awareness of the force and possibly, as seen by her immediate reaction to Han's death a connection to those whom she loves dearly enough. That would include Luke so she knew him to be alive simply lost by his own choice.

The map to Luke I don't doubt he hid in 2 parts deliberately. I also think this was a double edged reasoning. Firstly it'd keep him isolated from the rebels demands of a Jedi to fight alongside them and also successfully hide him from the First Order since, even an old Imperial map (which would have been created in the 2nd Galatic Republic) possibly may not show the precise location of the system he headed to.

[Jinx]

I read a theory that Shiny Brienne is her mom.

[Night Fury]

Eh who said Maz was her ma?

[Formalhaut]

Eh who said Maz was her ma?

Well Maz is basically 'ma' with a Z on the end. Is there hidden subtext, mayhap!

No, probably not. Maz is just the new wise Yoda character I think.

Fox was the first to mention it, I just went with it for comic effect.

I did forget that piece of dialog about her not being force sensitive, though.
