SPOILERISH FUN TASK:
Everyone try to identify the actor who is the Stormtrooper that says: I open the restraints, leave the door open... and drop the gun.
I'm not sure but I believe it's: 007 Daniel Craig
Spoiler parts minimized, quote to read.

On my front I'm finally getting around to seeing the original movies. I just saw the first one (Part 4?). I found online a thing called the "Unspecialized edition" where fans made an HD version and they removed all the special edition crap using various sources.
It was hard to put into words seeing the first one, because it was 'spoiled' by just about everything. I already knew the entire story, I know Vaders is father, I knew Obi died, Leah is Lukes sister somehow, I've seen every scene in some form though parody and references in shows I've watched throughout my life. I still liked it, but it did not engage me too much due to me knowing everything that happened already.
Luckily I know less about the sequels, I think.

It was just an educated guess. I didn't know for sure, but it seemed REALLY likely that it would happen. I would have been really embarrassed if I'd been wrong.
So Luke is pretty obviously Rey's father. Who do you guys think is the mother? I'm going with Phasma at the moment, for a number of reasons.

I actually don't think Luke is Rey's father (Jedi are forbidden to have families, etc). While it's possible *see prequels* my theory was that she was part of the training program Luke set up a few decades ago. My guess is she was hidden from Kylo Ren so she wouldn't be killed too. That's why she was left on generic dessert planet 46. Jedi mind wipe is also a thing, apparently. It also explains her mental connection with Ren, considering they may have been part of the same training.
...I'm sorry...Han Solo went out like a bitch. I know that scene was supposed to be emotional, and deep...but come on. You watch Empire or Jedi and then tell me this guy gets sucker skewered by his own son. Personally, I'd have liked to see him go down in a blaze of glory, crashing the falcon in to a star destroyer, or setting off a bomb to kill a bad guy - self sacrifice, not blind stupidity.
And honestly, the villains of this film needed work. Grand Master Gollum was surprisingly bland and generic (fingers still crossed it turns out to be Jar Jar, lol), Darth rat face was fine until he took his damn mask off and lost all credibility. I actually laughed when we saw his face...I am not intimidated by this guy. At all. Good actor, but not main villain material. And did anyone else think silver storm trooper Brienne was a total write off? I thought she was supposed to be this bad ass general, and she was just a waste.
Don't get me wrong - really liked the movie. First 45 minutes were mind blowingly amazing. And I feel the sequels will be even better. These are minor gripes, but at the moment, they are what sticks out in my mind.

I finally got to see it, so I can now join in this discussion without worrying about spoilers!
I personally really liked it. Hell anything beats I, II, and III. But I still like the original IV, V, and VI best.
Makes me sad that Han dies... And I also thought Ren was a pussy, but maybe they will develope his character better for the next movie.
