Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****
-
Went and watched it last night. Felt like I was five years old again from the moment the score started. Looked like Episode IV redux and unsurprisingly that's what made it so good for me. Ignored plot holes or sequencing issues because I'm fairly certain I didn't notice shit like that when I was a kid. Sets it up nicely for Episode VIII. Well done J.J. Abrams, I'll put the pitchfork away.<br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Virgil" data-cid="548785" data-time="1450749536"><p>Question, how does the Millennium Falcon steer?</p></blockquote>Repulsorlift technology.

Why is killing a hero lazy? It's a war, eventually someone is going to die. You not liking a storyline where a previous hero is killed doesn't automatically mean it's lazy. If George RR Martin was the scriptwriter there wouldn't be a original trilogy character left.<br><br>
The only issue I have with the death was they seemed to skip over it after the fact - I thought they could have pulled on the emotions a bit more (where's Spielberg when you need him?).</p></blockquote>

I gave my reasons above. In any case, this guy was a hero who saved Luke's life twice and who played a vital role in destroying the Empire. The start of E6 was all about him being rescued. It would have been ok if he went out in a blaze of glory or sacrificed himself for the many. But no, he was killed by his bloody Marilynmanson. He didn't even get a proper burial, his body just fell into a void. That was shit. -
<p>in a way he did sacrifice himself by confronting his son.</p>

<p>Something something every other show does it when they run out of ideas is what I remember from your original posts - considering they're about to make 2 more movies and a bunch of side ones I don't think they're out of ideas really.</p> -

<p>Just thought crossed my mind during the 2nd or 3rd viewing...</p> -
The falcon would be a fluffybunny to steer when you're tired, you'd see a gap and think you could get through only to remember you have about 20 metres of vehicle to your left. <br><br>
I didn't mind Hans death all things considered, I think as I mentioned the scene that annoyed me was him reasoning with those space pirates. Fuck sake, him and Chewie are decorated war heroes, they shoulda blasted those fucken punks like the bitch asses they were..... -

Excuse me? This thread is about providing opinions about a film. A FILM. If you are so precious that you cant stomach criticism about a FILM you liked then God help you in real life. That's pretty farking pathetic Virgil. -

<p>As i said everyone is entitled to their opinions. We get it, you hate it. But it seems obvious your in the minority and most are enjoying the experience of reliving child hoods revolving around the original movies.</p>
<p>You on the other hand are bordering on trolling and taking any chance to rip it to shit.</p> -

Wtf? Trolling? I'm merely stating my opinion and most, if not all, of my posts have been in response to comments from others. I'm quite aware that I'm in the minority and I have absolutely no problem with that. But apparently in your world everyone with a minority view about a film should just stfu because it might hurt your warm fuzzy feelings. <br><br>
Btw I'm a massive Star Wars and will watch the next films no matter what. But I was disappointed with the film and have every farking right to express that opinion. Yes it is Star Wars, but it's still just a bloody film. -

<p>I reckon he did it more for the missus than anyone, after the whole "still good in him" speech. Bitches always be getting you in fights....</p> -

<br>
Ain't that the truth. <br><br>
Anyone else ( apart from M4L to state the obvious ) a bit creeped out that they used to find Leia hot in that metal bikini? The years haven't been kind. -
<p>It's also very clear she has done fuuuck all acting in the past 30 years... </p>
-
<p>I watched a 'comedy' a year or 2 back, where these guys were talking about knocking one off, and one of them was hassling his mate for knocking one off to Carrie Fisher, he replied saying everyone had done it over her at some point, to which his mate replied, yes, in her heyday, not as she is now! </p>
-
I think she might be Finns Mum, Lando ( who was very erudite and charming ) dusted her up when Han was in carbonate then fucked off to another galaxy when he found out Leia was expecting. Han and Leia are clearly separated and I'm sure a kid who has joined the dark side isn't the only reason.

<p>Just like great sports stars, you don't get to choose how you go out; sometimes it's with a bang, other times with a whimper</p>
