Force Awakens
Revenge of the Sith

That’s right
Back in my day you had to hide you were a fan or else take a lot of shit at school .
I got a Star Wars watch for Xmas and I didn’t dare wear it to school even though I loved it .
This is it . You could change the stickers on it too but I kept mine Darth Vader
I would love for a FF show on what us early comic fans had to put up with before comics and sci fi were accepted .
That’s right

i think that it was a better edit away from being up there
as far as Attack of the Cones goes...
its way better if you hit skip the sec you see
the romance scenes....
i don't mind the newer brand of sci-fi fans but
the attention whores on twitter i can do without
unless i can see asshole of course

You can tell the ones who would have given you shit back in the day . Hot chick would call you a queer if they even over heard you talking Star Wars , comics or any sci fi for that matter . After fifth grade you had to hide you liked any of that stuff. I get a kick out of all these hot chicks saying they were geeks in school .
It would be good also to hear how everyone got into comics
no shit!
i played sports all the way thru high school
and talking about Comics or anything nerd related
was done at a risk....
usually followed by a ' you still like that nerd shit?'
You had to be a closeted nerd back in the late 80s early 90s or you caught shit.
to say the struggle was real was an understatement
my first Comic-Con in 95
was like going to the world's largest AA meeting
you really got a sense of being among your people
Saw it Saturday
I enjoyed and appreciated it. I saw it with a little kid who was my age when I saw original SW... they had 0.0 expectations about the "canon" and no baggage...they loved it. That made me not overthink it and treat it like a blank canvas. It was fun and cool to both of us.
I am OK if Rey is a nobody and that kid at end is a "nobody", the point is that we all have the Force and a compelling event can awaken it. Don't have to have royal bloodlines.
Luke astral projecting and his moves in the fight were very badass.
Who was the Chrome Trooper who looked balefully at Finn when dying? Why did they build up that up? Do we care?

Do you think there was something they were trying to say by showing some of her face through the mask before she died? To make sure we knew she was a person and not a robot? To allow Finn to look the person in the eye who treated him so badly? To show us she was white?
What did everyone think of frozen Leia flying back to the ship?
I thought it was cheesy as hell. When she got sucked out of the ship, I thought she was dead and that this was the way they chose to handle her exit. I thought it was kind of brilliant, if that's what it was. They wouldn't have had to have specific footage for that scene. Just footage of her standing there and a bit of cgi and they could've made her fly out into space without filming it that way. It also allowed us to see that Kylo couldn't bring himself to kill her. So knowing she couldn't be in the 3rd film and that there is no clear good way of how they can handle that, I thought this was a great way to do it. Show us that Kylo couldn't kill her and then suck her out into space. Then came her flying back to the ship and it felt really dumb to me. Not only did I think it looked bad and felt lame, but we mostly only got her in a coma for the rest of the movie anyway and now they are probably going to do something like start out the next film with her funeral or some shit where she died between films. We need to see her death. Just like we saw Han and Luke's. And if they didn't film a death scene (which they say they didn't) and they won't do a CGI version of her (which they said they won't), then I'm very curious how they handle this.

Things I liked:
Best part was Luke at the end. I had no idea what they were pulling with him not being killed by the AT-ATs (or do they have a non-AT-AT name?) or by Kylo's saber. I was worried it was going to be something silly, but when they went back and showed Luke hovering above the rock, that was just the best.
Yoda, of course. And I was so glad to see they used a puppet that looked just like the original Yoda. It just wouldn't have been Yoda if he was CGI.
R2 convincing Luke to help by playing the Leia hologram. I think the theater's heating system blew some dust into my eye during this scene and also when Yoda appeared.
Finn looking Phasma right in her eye when she died. Fucking See you next Tuesday.
Things I didn't like:
That Snoke and Rey are apparently both nobodies.
That any poor kid can be powerful with the force. Even Luke, who came from very powerful Jedi bloodline, showed no signs of the force before Obi-wan did some training and guidance. But somehow this little slave kid is just grabbing brooms with the force in his everyday life. And Rey just jumped right into doing Jedi shit without training or guidance. I let that slide, though, as I thought she was going to be from the Skywalker or Kenobi line. I really think this is Disney telling us that Star Wars ain't all about the Skywalkers. But that's exactly what Star Wars was all about. This makes me have my first regret of being glad George let go of the franchise. Now we're going to be getting endless generic space stories with random Jedis. I was glad midichlorians don't exist in this trilogy but now this whole anyone can be a Jedi and exhibit the Force without training thing doesn't have me feeling much better. It's the first thing which makes me really feel like these new movies don't fit with the original trilogy story.
That Kylo is an even bigger whiney, emo pussy than in the first movie. I thought killing Snoke was pretty badass and then he goes and ruins it by lying and blaming it on "the girl". I thought it was funny that he got all mad and smashed his Vader wannabe helmet after Snoke made fun of it, but it was just one more thing showing what a gigantic bitch he is.
Luke dying. Even if they had it happen in the beginning of the next movie, I just wish it wasn't the end of this one. Knowing Leia is gone, too makes me feel like this was the last real Star Wars movie for me. I'm nowhere near as excited about seeing the next one as I was about seeing this one. Leaving Force Awakens after that glimpse of Luke left me dying to see the next one. Leaving Last Jedi with Luke dying made me feel like it's mostly over now. I imagine they're gonna just end the trilogy on the same note as the original. Luke's ghost guides Rey, Kylo redeems himself by sacrificing himself for the good guys and Rey, Poe and Finn celebrate with 3PO, Chewie and R2 at the end. Oh, and Rey will see a Jedi ghost line-up. I'm going to be fucking pissed if they use young Obi-wan and/or Anakin. But this is Disney now, so it's possible they will want to continue the Rey story in another trilogy and won't actually have such a conclusive ending. I think anything is fair game now. George went insane and was destroying Star Wars, but he also really did care about it.

Ok I watched it again and I still hate it. Any of you guys that enjoyed the movie I'm truly happy for you. As long as you respect my right to hate it. I'm going to pretend the last two movies where a bad dream. A dream where my beloved childhood hero Luke Skywalker is a reclusive coward, tit milker, that wants to kill people while they sleep and is bested by young girls with no training. I wake up and realize that it was a dream or nightmare. My Luke Skywalker is one of the greatest jedi to ever live, married Mara Jade, had a kid, brought the jedi back from the brink of extinction, and defended the galaxy from evil for many years after Return of Jedi.
Feel like this conversation continues to this very day!
Brienne of Tarth warped into the future...
edit, Think I now know where @GatGirl69 has been all this time..
To show us white people with blue eyes are evil. Same as all white people in the first order . The last movie mixed it up a bit on the bridge but this time it was all white people with men in charge and one Asian dude . The rebels had a mix of everyone with women in charge . It’s the PC agenda .

Best line ever.
I think having Jedi be strictly bloodline would be purely elitist and douchey. If the force is one with everything, then randomness would prevail.
Where was all this randomness during the original trilogy when they talked of Luke and Leia being the last hopes? Or even during Force Awakens. Other than Rey, there were no other Jedi.
The problem I have isn't that others can be Jedis, it's that they are exhibiting Jedi qualities without any training. Luke decided to train a bunch of kids to be Jedis. That's fine. It's a Jedi master showing others how to tap into and use the Force. What I don't like is Rey and this broom kid using the Force, like they know what they're doing, without having had any training. That's not how it ever worked and now all the sudden, random people can just start pulling things towards them and doing mind tricks and shit. It's cheap.
