I saw it this morning and it got me in the feels. I’m in love with Rey, Finn, Poe, and BB8. I’m okay with the new generation. This looks like a movie want to watch again. It’ll be hard to find the time next time around.

Debating seeing it again tonight...wife already at in laws and the adulting is hard...:/

The best compliment I can give The Force Awakens is that when I left the theatre, I wasn’t trying to defend it the way I did when I walked out of The Phantom Menace.

I played with it for 5 minutes and this is how I now think of myself.

Look at it this way - you’re still a Storm Trooper. It’s not that you’re going to hit him....

That’s cool but isn’t Hokey religions and ancient weapons no match for a good blaster at your side?

I also tweak my genitals.

At first I thought “what’s the point of collecting something digital?”

I’ve got two questions: one, how the fuck does that thing swim. Two, who figured out that the ocean-dwelling tuba creature liked the taste of land-dwelling chickens?

Tings ah getting out ovv hahnd!

How do you lose a train.

Yeah I was a Marine, you get used to a body laying around very easily. War is always the same, it’s amazing to me how common it is now that I’ve been there.

How many times have you walked by a homeless person laying on the street, have you checked his pulse to see if he’s alive?

I thought the same thing.....those two guys just stepping over the bodies in the church. You KNOW that this is nothing to them. And to think; one of them could have been my grandfather.

Your humanity switches off to protect you from “humanity”. A shitty coping mechanism that is....but war is survival...and the brain and soul do their best. When mankind can't..

It’s incredible how casual this is. It’s a whole other plane of reality that - thankfully - I have never experienced.

I believe that’s because it needs to dynamically adjust it’s balance, and it does so by constantly marching in place. Also, remember that it’s tossing quite a heavy object, and the angular momentum makes it difficult to remain still. Either way, we’ll get there son enough.

Man Ant-Man is going to be like the Freshmen hanging out with all the Seniors at Lunch.

Also; are beards a requirement to become a Jedi Master? Is facial hair growth determined by Midi Chlorian count? In the new Disney canon, it sure seems that way.

I get your point in general, but I don’t think the familiar treatment of characters in a direct sequel qualifies as a pastiche of the original. Luke knew exactly one human Jedi in his life, Vader notwithstanding, and it’s not a stretch that he’d choose to emulate Kenobi - that’s literally the only applicable reference
