THAT'S who he reminds me of. I was racking my brains after seeing it this morning.

He reminded me of snape.

That's awesome. There are a lot of theories that I am a big fan of. Rian Johnson won't disappoint b/c he's a weirdo who won't be afraid to take the story awesome places.

Another interesting possibility about one of the characters..

Spoiler for Spoiler of Finn:

another article spoke about Finn's father by revealing his last name.. That being Carilissian.

Meaning Lando Carlissian..

Saw it in IMAX 3D yesterday. It was great! LOL @ all the nerds who can't enjoy it.

I saw it the same way. Larry Miller theaters have a sweet deal on Tuesdays. For $5 it was definitely worth it. I thought it was a fun movie. We went with my incredibly nerdy nephews and they were all disappointed.

I did make a near fatal mistake. About 10 minutes in I started checking email. Someone from a few rows up yelled at me to put my phone away.

I've got a family full of nerds, and they all loved it.

Spoiler for Hey now that you mention it...:

Wait- your comment made me think- so to kill a few planets in a specific solar system, the Death Star II fuels up by sucking all of the sun in the local solar system and then directing the solar energy at the intended planetary victims. Why don't they just suck up all the sun, thereby killing off the solar system, without even discharging the super ray? Why even aim the ray? For that they have to develop a weapons delivery system. Why when they can just suck the sun dry?

all that energy has to go somewhere, duh...may as well blow up some planets.

Spoiler for huh?:

How do we know that's even what happens? Does it actually kill the sun or does it absorb all the light that has been emitted that has actually reached within a certain range of Starkiller Base?

Spoiler for unbelievably continuing the conversation on the dumb storyline:

We don't know what really happens because it is fiction.

Unfortunately, that piece of the fiction inturrupted my enjoyment of the rest of the movie because I started thinking of all the problems associated with the plan - how is it possible to suction the sun's power? How can they suction it from so far away? How could it possibly compress the mass of the sun into such a smaller space? Wouldn't that shift the gravitational balance such that the solar system would begin to orbit the battlestation planet?

Anyway, I thought it silly.

I was glad and surprised they killed off Han.

I will be pretty surprised if Luke isn't her father.

I don't remember Vader having as much power as this new kid. Why didn't Vader just extract the location of the rebel base from Princess Leia in Episode IV? Not sure the kid should be begging his dead Grandpa to show him the power of the dark side - he may have already eclipsed him.

Luke also seemed way behind this new chick in understanding/using the force even after starting his training with Kenobe and Yoda.

Spoiler for some help with movie issues:

There are some differences between the book and the movie that shed light on some of the issues with the movie--including the sun-sucking planet. http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-11-bigges...e-v-1749329046

Wait... there was a book first? I thought it was birthed as a screenplay.

Wait... there was a book first? I thought it was birthed as a screenplay.

I remember hearing that the movie was going to loosely follow the book, which was probably a good idea as it kept the nerds (people that actually read Star Wars books) guessing and also gives them something to complain about. It also kept anyone from spoiling the movie too much before it came out.

Aren't there dozens upon dozens of Star Wars books that go into the future as well as tell the side tales of the lesser characters?

You folks upset about one big physics problem, knock it off. You are making me laugh. There is something that defies the basic laws of physics about every ten seconds in these movies. Also, consider the fact that they have unbelievable technology yet they fight 1980's-style aircraft dogfights, complete with 1980's era aiming systems in the cockpit and slow guided missiles. Also, the WW2 era spaceship battles with laser bullets and cannons that do only minor damage. No automated aiming systems? Haha. Then they completely ignore space-time issues. They walk around in ships when there is no gravity. They go from outer space to big open docks on space ships and voila! no problem with the vacuum of space. Oy vey.

And that is the tip of the iceberg. It is, by definition, an alternate universe. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
