So, just watch this movie for the 6th time (4 times on IMAX, 1 time D-Box and 1 normal viewing). I swear for myself this will be the last time. Mainly watching it just to see Kylo Ren one more time on the big screen. I know its a bit early to say this but I think he just dethroned Vader from the top in my most favorite character list. In general I really likes this movie but now just want to nitpicking it CinemaSins style because there are a few issues that is bugging me throughout all the seating for this movie. Originally there is more but I manage to come up with relevant excuses like why the heck that TIE fighter want to blow up Rey, Finn and BB-8 when Kylo Ren clearly instructed Hux to retrieve the droid unharmed? Maybe because Hux overrule Ren's order with Snoke's (retrieve the droid if can, destroy it if can't). Another one is, where the heck is Rey going after the traumatized experience with Luke's lightsaber? You said you want to leave but why you wander so far off in the forest? Shouldn't you be heading towards Millenium Falcon? The excuse I come up with is maybe Millenium Falcon being parked quite far deep inside that forest.

Below are some lists that I can't seems to come out with any relevant answer to justify the act. Its there just for the sake of it or an excuse to move the story forward..

1) Killing Max von Sydow's character - shouldn't Kylo interrogate him before deciding to execute the guy? Didn't he came to the village with a bunch of trooper to retrieve the information from that guy in the first place? He didn't know Poe will be there right?
2) Why Han Solo so freaking turned on by Chewie's bow-caster? In all those years they spent together he never once tried it? Not once? Really?
3) Why the heck FN-2199 throw away gun and shield and go for electrostaff thingy instead? If you that eager to kill him isn't it the former make a better option? Its not like Finn know how to properly use the lightsaber. He didn't even know its a weapon in the first place.
4) During Han and Ben confrontation, why everyone froze in their place? Why the stromtrooper who clearly present at the time didn't shoot Chewie, Rey or Finn? Only after Han died that everyone else got their sense back and start shooting each other?
5) How the heck Rey and Finn got to the forest from the facility so freaking fast? They're at the top of the facility and its freaking high. I remember the countdown before the big laser shot fired only left 2 minutes or a few seconds . Did they teleport or something?

I think there's probably more but I can looks past them, only this one here that bugs me to death. I'm sure when CinemaSins sinned this movie, one or two points here will come up in their vids. Feel free to give your opinions or excuse for these but if I find it irrelevant I will dispute it. laugh.gif

PS: I love the look on Han's face when chased by the Rathar. Mann, that is one really terrified look right there. Its 'I-don't-care-if-I'm-a-cool-character-or-what-but-I-really-scared-shit' face. Hahha laugh.gif

the beauty of not explaining everything is you are free to come out with your own explanation smile.gif

1. I guess his emotion got the better of him after Max von Sydow kept on bringing up his family in the chat (Kylo: you know what I come for, Max: I know where you came FROM)
2. Maybe its a newer version of bowcaster? But i guess the point they were trying to convey was to demonstrate how powerful the bowcaster is to justify the extent of injury Kylo suffered from later on
3. Its just movie cliche i supposed, all those lets fight on equal footing just to show that i am better than you stuff
4. Agreed, this is a kinda weird part, but the main thing during this sequence was the Han/Ben confrontation leading up to Han's death, so i could let that slide lol
5. I never paid attention to the "countdown" in movies because I knew they won't follow the exact timing any way, in this movie, when the weapon had 10 more minutes to go, Han and Chewie had not even reach the reactor room yet, but after all the confrontation until Rey/Finn escaped to the forest it has 2 minutes left, so there you go

1) Okay, make sense. I seems to forgot that he is super temperamental..haha~
2) I kinda understand that. But still I feel its unnecessary because I think how powerful was the bowcaster showed enough already during the battles when Han was using it. Those extra comments from him did provide some comic relief but at the same time to me it felt that he just met Chewie yesterday.
3) Yeah, movie cliche. Good one..LOL
4) I also can let that slide but still bugs me..haha~
5) Yeah, in a way I also kinda lean towards that. Those scene probably not straight fully in sequence with each other but still due to fast pacing of the movie I always end up questioning myself how the hell they end up there so fast..

PS: To those who are super critical of this movie that follow same old same old formula, here is a very good analytical video review on that aspect.

don't take my word for it, that's just how I rationalized these elements for myself, you could come out with your own explanation and it would still be correct lol

regarding number 5, what made it even worse is that Kylo somehow managed to appear IN FRONT of Rey and Finn in that short amount of time, whether him taking short cut from the underground base or not it is just absurd (but this is already considered as nitpicking i supposed)

Waited years to see Luke Skywalker again. We finally do and he doesn't say a word.

Now have to wait 1 1/2 years to hear him speak again.

1 1/2 years to know Rey's identity (and that's just a maybe).

What's interesting is Dec 2017 is going to be a behemoth clash between "Avatar 2" and "Episode VIII".

Nope. Avatar 2 chickened out.

I laughed too laugh.gif

Carrie looks so pretty.

Perfect picture with Harrison.

But Adam spoiled it laugh.gif

Head's too small and does not resembles any of his parent.

Disney should have find someone that look like Harrison/Carrie.

Anybody watch Star Wars Rebels? Latest episode is really big as it could tie up Kylo with Darth Revan of the Knights of the Old Republic games. It could explain the cross guard saber of Kylo.
