you talk about funny reactions.......oh my god. the bitch fits people threw over the progs before even seeing the films :laughing guy: :laughing guy: :laughing guy:

 

And the Porgs turned out to be totally harmless. Didn't tarnish the film at all. They were just the newest in a long line of strange and goofy creatures that every Star Wars film contains. It's tradition.

 

also how long were they even in the movie, lol

 

they are just a toy seller.......which star Wars has always done frankly, lol

Star Wars toys have a lot more sentimental value for me than most toys. They're upholding a good tradition in my book...

 

actually, how cute would a stuffed Porg be? That may be a good surprise Christmas gift for my little sister if I could find one, lol.

The thing is, I don’t mind AT ALL that they f***ed with Luke’s “center” and things like that. I have a problem with how the movie was made, how it flows, and the editorial decisions of many scenes.

The plot to this mess was totally unfucking believable: we're to accept the fact that OTHER bad guy space ships (One Republic or The New Order or Fallout Vader, whatever the hell they're called) could

I base my C score on execution almost exclusively. Huge Star Wars fan, but didn’t go into my viewing with any kind of list of expectations. I just don’t think it’s a very good movie, neither made no

I still don't think we could've asked for a better episode seven than what we got. I don't think there was any better way to go about rebooting the machine and drawing everyone back in. The fact that they pulled it off is what's so magical and impressive about it. If it's just a rehash of episode 4 with a few modern movie differences, then I've never felt like that's worth hating. So yeah, haters gonna hate, lol.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why would Luke, knowing that Ben is Han and Leia's son, want to eliminate him because he senses so much darkness in him?

 

Just my opinion, but I think Luke was truly terrified of Ben becoming another Vader. He sensed Ben's great power and anger. Luke said himself that he had a moment of weakness, where he let his fear get the best of him (when he was about to kill Ben). The moment passed, but then Ben woke up and saw Luke with his lightsaber.......and the battle was ON.

 

And where did Ben's darkness come from? Is it just how it is with the Skywalker genes? It could go either way? He said he didn't hate his father in the movie, so I'm kinda wondering about this. Or am I missing something that I should've caught?

 

I think Ben was lying about not hating his father. Ben and Rey have one big thing in common - their parents gave them away. Luke implied that Han was not a great father figure (he probably wasn't around much). We know for sure that Rey is very angry at her parents for dumping her. Ben is most likely the same way with Han.

Also, why didn't they tell Poe about their plans to take the shuttles to the abandoned base? It would have avoided a mutiny along with the wild goose chase looking for the codebreaker which ended up causing the plan to fail.

 

Yup. A stupid and unnecessary plot contrivance.

As much as I have enjoyed this trilogy so far, I really am concerned with the fact that they only have one more movie to tie up loose ends, explain things, etc.

 

Yep, the Resistance is virtually kaput. They're gonna have to act fast in gaining support from other star systems and creating a new battle fleet. And if Luke and Snoke are truly gone for good, then it's on Rey and Ben to provide all the Force magic.

 

I don't see Abrams letting Episode IX become an anti-climactic end to the series. He's too smart to let that happen.

If Chewie had just taken a bite out of the thing and discovered how delicious it was . . . I mean, the thing looked like it was cooked to perfection . . .

The thing was dead anyway. I secretly think ol' Chew tucked it in his satchel for a snack later.

They weren't telling other Captains/Commanders, only the people on the bridge knew about it. To tell Poe would be to give him some kind of special treatment, which he didn't deserve after inadvertently causing such heavy losses on the bomber run mission. I think Holdo knew that Leia needed Poe to be taught a lesson about leadership and following orders and doing what's best for the team.

 

I get that. And it was the reason they gave in the movie. But it was very weak IMO. And it would seem more logical to tell him so he wouldn't do something rash as they obviously knew he was prone to do. They should have given a better reason for the secrecy IMO.

 

Anyway, I thought the whole thing (looking for the codebreaker) was useless as far as the plot goes.

I've still never watched a Star Wars film from start to finish. I think 20 minutes is the longest I've lasted.

Hey, it's cool. I only watch 20 min of porn at a time so...

 

At first I thought it said "20 minutes of porg"...

That’s how I am with Lord of the Rings. I tried the first one 2 or 3 times and fell asleep every time in about 20 minutes.

I saw about 5-10 minutes of part 2 before I just walked out of the room.

I saw the last 30-40 minutes of part 3 and that bastard of a movie wouldn’t end. It just wouldn’t end!! :LOL:

The Porg are one of the least annoying Star Wars cutesy toy setup candies they’ve ever made. I’m ntgonna buy that crap but they didn’t take anything away from the movie. The Chewbacca barbecue scene worked just fine.

 

My only disappointment is that nearly all of Chewbacca’s scenes (and there were too few dammit!) were with the Porg.

 

There’s a Captain Picard Porg joke in there somewhere.
