Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****

Yep, they could just retire to the events scene for the rest of their lives. 
As you say, life changing roles certainly

I wish I knew how to do the spoiler thing on here so for those who haven't seen it I'll keep it brief but I was a bit disappointed with the villains save for the 'Emperor' type baddie.

the little image to the left of the Font drop down, is in alpha, so find spoiler and away you go, if you need to type it, as follows:
 
[spoiler]tell us your bullshit here[/spoiler ]

Bit whinny for sure but not Anakin whiny at least.

[spoiler] could see the death of Han Solo coming, maybe Ford felt he was too old for the rest of the series? [/spoiler]

He ...
 
[spoiler] has always wanted to kill off Han. I think Han was put in carbonite in Empire in case Ford didn't come back. TBH I thought they didn't mine his death enough emotionally (although if they focused more on it people would complain getting their heart strings pulled) and it was weird that Leia didn't go straight to Chewie when they arrived back.

I thought he was the worst of them, he seemed like a cartoon rather than a character.

I'm doing this off a tablet so shit I can do normally I can't on here. Will have another go when I'm on a PC. 
Virg, yep read that scene like a book but I thought said characters whiny nature was worse than Annie and Luke to be honest.

What's the story with the rating. Stupid question but I can take my 5 and 7 year old provided I am with them right ? ( FML.....guess I'll have to sit through it again )

taniwharugby

no idea...the dude didn't even ask how old my kid was when I bought the tickets

Better than A Phantom Menace is the best I can say about that. 
Poo. 
Interesting that something with the initials J J has fucked up a Star Wars film once again.

I can only assume we watched completely different versions of Ep 7.

No we just have different tastes. Incredibly enough that happens sometimes Nepia. My 10 year old was severely pissed off with the film and I don't blame him. 
[spoiler] Han farking Solo is killed by his fucking son who happens to be Kylo Ren. And the supposed badass Kylo Renn is actually a weird-looking loser who gets his arse kicked by a girl who just found out she has Jedi powers. Oh yeah, wtf was that Snork guy? They nicked that from GOTG. 
Love the original plot too. Secret plans hidden in droid. Teenager on desert planet with unknown past makes contact with said droid. And the secret awesome weapon that can wipe out planets. Where have I seen that before? Guys on ground taking out shields. Pilots fly through trench to blow it up. Nothing recycled there. All fresh and original. 
The acting was very good. Liked Ray, Finn and especially Po. Plenty of potential there. Effects and costumes top notch. But plot was shit, Ren was shit, and Han Solo getting wacked was shit. But if you enjoyed it then congratulations. [/spoiler]

 :whistle:
 
 
 
[spoiler] I'm pretty sure that the plot was 100% deliberate and I was fine with it - the series started with a film cobbled together from other movies and serials.
 
Better a recycled plot done well than one that is incomprehensible (Phantom Menace) .... IMHO. [/spoiler]

I genuinely agree with some of the flaws that the Schnitz brings up but again. It's fucken Star Wars, rules that apply to other franchises don't actually apply here.

Acting was good, it looked great, the falcon was awesome! When does SW8 come out?

[spoiler] Like I said, acting, effects, sets were top notch. But there were Imho too many negatives. Kylo Renn was a bloody emo. He's supposed to be the next Darth Vader but had his arse handed to him by a storm trooper and a desert scavenger chick half his size (which is nothing because Darth Emo is built like a stick insect). My son had the figure before the film and now he wants to saw it in half. He thought he had Darth Vader on roids but now calls him "A weird looking boy just out of puberty who killed his dad, Han Solo." 
Killing off Han was just lazy. Trying to copy GoT for shock value perhaps? And who the furk is this Snork dude and wtf was that dwarf creature who had Luke's lightsaber? And were Corescant and the Senate destroyed? It wasn't entirely clear about that, but that's pretty farking weak if true. 
Really liked the Poe character (even if the name sux) and some scenes were the best ever seen in a Star Wars film. But for the reasons above and the lazy plot, I was really quite disappointed. Hopefully number 2 isn't a ripoff of Empire with Luke playing the part of Yoda. 
Oh yeah, and one last thing. Has Lea not developed any force powers in the past 32 years? That's a bit crap and lazy. Little Ray beat up a Sith by just thinking about the force. 
Fook that was so uber-nerd I should beat myself up [/spoiler]

Who said Ren is the next Vader? Why do we assume the evil villain has to be cold and all set. Why cant he be living a conflicting life caught between the Dark side and good side? ( At least hes not Ani who just whined and whined in the prequels)
 
Why was killing off Han lazy? Ford has been dying to be killed since Empire Strikes Back!
Also its the first movie in a new trilogy, i think its supposed to leave a whole lot of unanswered questions, otherwise why bother watching Eps 8 & 9. (something i assume you wont be bothering to do)
