<p>Apocalypse now.</p>

<p>Anne Heche was pretty tidy back then and was partial to dining on clam. plus it had Tem and Cliff in it so I'll give him a pass on that one. </p> -
The Fugitive was great as well.<br><br>
Ok, now this will cause some posters to get a little cranky, but fark it. I watched TFA again last night. Obviously I wasn't thrilled the first time but wanted to see if I wasn't overly harsh. I could also rewatch stuff and focus more.<br><br>
I'm sorry but I still think it's pretty crap. Yes it looks amazing and some of the scenes are the best ever seen in SW. But overall the film is a big disappointment. <br><br>
It's just a reboot of 4 with a bigger weapon and a butchering of that storyline. So Luke pisses off and leaves half a map of his whereabouts with some old dude and the other with R2? Why? Does he want to lead the gallaxy on some kind of scavenger hunt? It doesn't make any farking sense. About as much sense as his blue lightsaber turning up. The one that was last seen attached to his severed hand falling into an abyss on Bespin. <br><br>
It's also weird that the NO are desperate to get the map but are desperately trying to evaporate the people holding it and thus destroy any chance of ever getting it.<br><br>
Nuff said about Hipster Renn and his now dead dad and apparently non-force using mum who seemed remarkably relaxed about the capital of the Republic and billions of people having been completely incinerated.<br><br>
Sorry, bit this film is up there with Transformers. And I don't mean that as a compliment. -

<p>The Fugitive is awesome, and we wont get cranky over you being a loon. ;)</p> -
Fark. I was expecting ad homs in response to my awesome analysis, but loon is taking it a tad too far.<br><br>
Oh yeah I forgot the Phasma capitulation. C'mon, even the hard core have to admit that was really really shit. -

<br>
I would consider that a hate crime.<br><br>
Finn dumped her in the waste disposal unit so she should be dead. But no doubt she made a miraculous escape and will be allowed to live even though her cowardice resulted in a crushing NO defeat. -

Possibly explained in further movies, probably not.<br><br>What gets me is don't they have the universes mapped by now?

<p>Star Wars provides the only cool shit on there, the rest is for geeks :fishing:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've seen a few vids on Youtube speculating what is going to happen in terms of old characters and the consensus seems to be that the Emperor will have a smallish part ie Snoke from the last flick and D Vader will have a major role. I for one can picture him slicing up that Asian Samurai looking guy after taunting him about his primitive weapon being no match for the dark side of the force. So it might well give us a "duel" of sorts although I hope they don't make the big fella do lots of ridiculous flips and the like and keep his movements economical so there is at least some continuity towards 'A New Hope" which is set months or mere weeks later depending which geeks you believe. </p> -
