Just to clarify....the main (only?) difference here, is that in the film, R2 was made aware of the Imperial records/archives way before he wakes up (by BB-8, if memory serves) - and he just happens to conveniently wake up way later, when he does; whereas in the novel, R2 is made aware of the Imperial records/archives d…

I don’t think I would have even noticed the “white slavers” remark if he hadn’t followed it with that little titter - although, I can easily see this as exactly how Lucas laughs at his own jokes, every time.

Not going to happen until Congress looks a little more like this:

Ok. So............what’s in the box?!

The first Darth Vader “annual” issue

Can someone explain how Ren’s saber is “piecemeal?” I remember you guys mentioning that - on top of this, you also, if I recall correctly, used the words “not ‘one with the Force,’” to describe the character, himself - in an article a long time ago, and even then, I wondered how you could possibly know this, and from…

“Leia might just be doing her duties as a leader—hugging a subordinate who needs consoling.” Maybe it’s that she’s not a suboordinate - she’s not in the Restistance, technically - and Leia sees this young, distressed non-soldier, and she acts accordingly; naturally.

I have a few more questions (included under the originals, for convenience):

Haha. I was just telling someone yesterday that, as I was watching certain part involving an island in The Force Awakens, all I could think of (well, not all...) was how the location reminded me of the album cover for Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy.

Confused about entire “How did the First Order end up with pieces of the map,” question.

I still don’t know what the hell to make of that arc - instead of you bringing them up here....say, I described them to you, and you said it/they didn’t exist, that I must have dreamt it, I probably wouldn’t argue, or even question you.

Spoiler (I suppose...in the unlikely chance you skipped the article, and jumped to the comments)

Evil Ted: “He’s totally a robot!”

Have any volumes, collections etc. of “Star Wars,” “Vader” - or one of the other, new “canon” series - been released? Yes or no, does anyone have any advice, and/or suggestions? (haven’t read comics in a while - but thought about it more and more recently; love Star Wars; like usual, parents been bugging me recently…

Finn says, “I was raised to do one thing, and I’ve got nothing to fight for.” There seems to be a lot of voiceovers in the second trailer that may have been recorded just for the trailer, in fact.

I was about to say...this - if it actually is in the movie - might be right before she sleds down. Otherwise, the only time she was seen outside of the star destroyer, she was....way to the left - of her position in this shot - on the side of it???

“By the time you get to the ‘It’s all true’ part of the movie, there’s a big, full story that fills the frame, and it’s not all about Han,” Ford says. “But in the context of Han’s story, you will learn about things that have occurred offstage in the intervening years, which will lead you to an understanding of why he…

“On the planet, most of the crew (Uhura and Sulu included) are captured. Scotty and Kirk end up elsewhere, and they meet up with the white alien woman, who helps them. Possibly by showing Scotty an old Federation ship which he is able to fix. Spock and Bones are on their own adventure.”

Why does Scottie get the extra image on top of clip?

“The trailer feels like a perfect, 90 second tease, to let anyone who still feels hurt by Into Darkness know, this franchise is not dead yet. This kind of over-the-top energy is almost the opposite of what Star Trek is known for.”
