So, Bret… you showed your penis to the man from the greeting card company.

In the first character design, he wore his hair in giant buns on both sides of his head.

Yeah, but at least for now I'm enjoying the fact that we have the first good Star Wars movie released in my lifetime (I was born in 1985).

R2 is like a simpleton bird; if you put a sheet over him, he thinks it's night time and deactivates.

I know the joke is played out, but "Asexual Luke is important to me" might be the most The A.V. Club thing I've ever read.

Who has the stupider name, Count Dooku or Kit Fisto?

In the climax of Episode 9, the heroes have to fly the Falcon inside his head via his nostrils and shoot his brain.

I won't be happy until this new trilogy uses the Red Letter Media guys' idea of including the line "Senator Binks' grave has been desecrated!"

Thank you! That helps a lot. Where did the info come from?

That would have been a great parallel with Kylo Ren's obsession with Darth Vader and fear that he won't measure up to Vader's legacy.

He's not especially handsome or ugly. I'd describe his look as 'unsettling.' His voice was perfect though. And I like how he's genuinely threatening like Darth Vader, but also highly insecure. I think it's a really good setup for his character arc, whatever it ends up being.

I was half-expecting the credits to roll over a long shot of Chewie curled up in a corner of the Falcon set to 'I Will Wait For You' from the end of Jurassic Bark.

I don't agree with your assessment of The Force Awakens, but the way you phrased it gave me a really good chuckle. Upvoted.

MINOR NON-SPECIFIC SPOILER

YES! I said the exact same thing to my friend after watching it this afternoon: I can't believe I'm saying this about a Star Wars movie, but I wanted more politics. I wanted a clearer explanation of what happened after the fall of the Empire. How solid is the Republic's control over the galaxy? How do they view the…

They did a good enough job aging Ewan McGregor in Episode 3 (and of course he nailed the performance, managing to sell most of the clunky dialogue really well). I think with the right old-age makeup and smoothing it over with the Force ghost effect, he could do a good-enough impression of a 57 year old Obi Wan.

I saw it with my older brother and his wife, both in their mid thirties, and she was really upset. Like, still drying her eyes at the end of the credits.
