Ahhh Knights of the Old Republic! I love that game. Hey, is it me, or did Kylo Ren's mask look a bit similar to Darth Revan's?

He's just irritable because he's been stranded on a magic island for thousands of years, having to listen to his pissed off twin brother/smoke monster bitching at him all the time.

You'll dig it, I'm sure. Harvey Keitel is in it also. It's funny to see De Niro as the brash young upstart also, given how old he is nowadays.

And what's up with Finn's line about Stormtrooper helmets: "They filter out smoke, but not gas!" Ummm….why don't they filter out gas? I used to have some of these books about Star Wars gear and ships (yes, I'm a nerd), and they said that the Stormtrooper helmets do filter out poison gas (as one would assume they

I thought that was a little odd. So, when he's ordered to kill, he flinches at the thought of such violence…..but on his way out in the TIE Fighter, he blasts dozens of his former comrades into dust without a second thought. Hmmm…..

I know what a mook is. I was making a reference to the movie Mean Streets, wherein one guy calls this other guy a "mook," and the guy is like, "What's a mook?" and it spirals into a big fight. It's a good movie, you should see it. Martin Scorsese directed it prior to Taxi Driver, and it features a very young Robert De

Yeah, and why are they still using TIE Fighters, but not the newer, faster TIE Interceptors?

Princess Vespa got a nose job, so they obviously exist in Space.

My niece thought he looked like Snape also! He reminded me of Andy Samberg.

Ok, it's Sunday of opening weekend, so this comment is probably late enough that no one will see it, but here goes anyway…

What's a mook?

My sister wondered that. She was like, "Wait, if he's on sanitation duty, why is he on a combat mission?"

YES! I was spoiled for that too. Really made the moment less powerful. Why are people so awful?

I got spoiled for Han's death. I bet the scene would've been much more powerful if I hadn't been expecting it. Fuck those assholes on Facebook who blurted it out without warning in random comments. Seriously, fuck those twats. I wish the Dark Side of The Force was real, I'd turn to it and Force Choke those bastards.

Yeah, the blood in the initial Stormtrooper battle scene threw me. They never bled in the other movies!

When Kylo Ren took off his mask, I thought he looked a lot like Andy Samberg,

I'm going to cry next time I hear "Yub Nub".

One thing about Ren's force-freeze power: if Force-users can do that, why the fuck have we never seen anyone do that before in any previous SW film? Though I guess Vader did block some blaster bolts with his palm at Cloud City, so I guess that's in the same ballpark…

That line was brilliant. It got a huge laugh from the audience, and it was my favorite line definitely.

…or The Flash (either the early-90s version of the current CW version—Hammil played The Trickster in both).
