How I wish she's a badass killer and fight against finn's lightsaber at the temple....

if they going for KoToR..then the only way is the anthology movie..but it wont do the story justice..because KoToR is epic..it deserves to be a trilogy..

unless they take the storyline of KoToR and adapt it into future plot lines moving forward from TFA..or even after this trilogy ended..

edit : reddit covered it..haha https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/..._please_disney/

me too, yap..kindda bold for them to keep this thing about Rey..making fans wait a year and a half for answer..hehe

whoever her parents were..Rey is one badass character..He is Luke + Han in one package..

Benicio del Toro will join Epsiode8..fans hoping that he will be Grand Admiral Thrawn..opening the possibility for Mara Jade.. maybe they wont use that name..but of cuz that type of characters..

the funny thing is if you look at Shmi, Padme, and Leia..all look almost the same..

but if he is from Ben Kenobi lineage..Obi Wan spin off will be huge..

hahaha this will break the internet for sure..daughter of the dark side championing the light side..and son of the light side championing the dark side..

Haha interesting

if they do make it they shouldn't be concern about continuity(the article i'd posted did mentioned it) bcoz the KoToR era was 4 millennia b4 the current Star Wars a.k.a The Skywalker Saga

the fanbase are already there (both Starwars & EU fans) so this like their chances to milk more money lol win2 situation for both movie producers and fans

The global debut for Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit the $529 million mark, trampling over Jurassic World’s previous record of $525 million.

The success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens also makes it the first movie to break $100 million in a single day, in addition to earning the biggest domestic opening ever with $248 million over the weekend.

i hope i never see this movie
but seen cannot be unseen
fu Disney, got focus on kids movie

I thought i stumbled into Gladiator and that is Oliver Reed

yup, noticed it on both viewings; the walkers this time look more spider-like. can't say i prefer them over the ATATs though.



Ewan McGregor's line was recorded for this movie. Specifically he says "Rey, these are your first steps", as if his force ghost is calling out to her. But I do admit it's still a stretch to imagine she's related to him instead. If you look at the final scene, Luke is starting to tear as she hands him the lightsaber. I'd say he recognizes her and is tearing more because of that then because someone finally found his saber after 30 years.

Maz does say whoever you're waiting for is not coming back or whoever left you or something like that. It's meant to imply family but it could be that she was abducted by someone close to her i.e. Luke, from her parents i.e. Han and Leia. Maybe he mindwiped everyone to forget about her and put Lars von Tekka in charge to look after her? The brother vs sister storyline will always be a stronger one than cousin vs cousin; so I still have some reason to think it might be this universe's version of Jaina.

And I dunno if anybody noticed, when , the sun almost gets fully drained d so the environment becomes darker, almost as if they took your hope and twisted it.

1. Because they cut down on CGI ma, all locales are real world locales with actual scenery, not underwater bubbles. Maybe they can do something different in future, but they did go from desert to green planet to space to ice planet. But it was all so fast paced.
2. Kylo storyline is recycled from books. Impossible not to have this family thing because star wars has always been about that. I think it's much more appealing to find out Kylo is Han's son than to find out he's some random guy right. The death star one i agree with you. They should have some resistance assault on the base using ground troops or something instead and for God's sake not another planet destroying weapon.
3. Erm, there were aliens all over the place; and they followed the original trilogy in terms of characters, there weren't many important aliens in those either.

i just hope that episode 7 is just a tribute (or more like an introduction of) to the original trilogy, showing the new generations about what makes Star Wars great: the story, the characters, the politics, sceneries, light sabre battles, aliens and droids. maybe in episode 8 and 9, the writers will explore more on the new Star Wars universe.

1. I agree, and I think part of the issue is that it was too brisk paced. We never really spent as much time on say Jakku, as we did on Tattooine.
3. This one not so sure, Ackbar and Nien Nunb were back. In Episode 4 for example, the only one who really stood out was maybe Greedo (remember Jabba wasn't in the original ep4) and the Jawas maybe. I haven't watched it in a while so I may be missing a few. I for one am glad there was no time given to a Jar jar type creature, though the CGI for Snoke and Maz Kanata was a little cringeworthy

I said on other sites, perhaps the prequel haters made Disney and JJ Abrams move not too far away from what's dear to Star Wars fans.

I'm admit the prequel had not too great flow at times but I don't hate them. I know those haters goes to the extend that it never existed in their eyes. George Lucas may not be a superb director in that aspect but story wise, there are many strings that made it work.

About the rivalry of Rey & Kylo, I agree with reehdus, it would be cooler if indeed they are sibling than cousins.

But whatever, even if the are not, I'm shying away that it is possibly Luke's daughter. If we stay true to the Jedi teachings, I suppose love is forbidden & they stay celibate (ok I made that up on celibacy). Err reedus u mentioned CGI Snoke & Maz cringeworthy?

Whhhat? I love Maz Kanata. I don't see cgi but beyond it. She is a 'character'. People don't think think CGI Davy Jones much but an excellent character. Don't let outside influences or have s certain preconceived mindset.

I know most of us have a certain notion on our first viewing esp since its been more than a decade of the last SW (prequels). But trust me, let go. View it like a being a kid again. The magic of "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.." take you guys away. It served me and I enjoyed it even on my 3rd viewing.

On a side note, after watching twice in Sunway pyramid, 1st being standard viewing, 2nd 3D iMax and completed my 3rd viewing tonight, at TGV 3D imax at 1 Utama. Effects Of 3D & sounds were a lot better in Sunway. I lover the cannon blasters firing. Unbelievable and much amplified in sunway pyramids viewing. Ok I got side tracked.


mitodnaOne the score whether the background were fallen At-AT walkers when Han Solo & Finn was discussing, when Han commented 'that's not how you use the force". No it was not any fallen/ damaged AT-At. It was just mountain ridges. It appeared shaped but it was eyes fooling people.

The AT-AT walkers was yeah, as reedus pointed out, were seen at the mass assembly of the first order. But not at the background when Han Solo, Finn & chewie were at almost at the foot of the base

There should not be any fallen or damaged AT-At. The battle just begun and it's all dog fight above. No ground assault and obviously no resistance taking down AT-AT

somehow i think those salute given by stormtroopers is similiar with nazi style salute...

Not quite that. She was a character, true; but the CGI didn't seem necessary with Snoke and Maz. They said they would only do CGI if it was impossible to do with real props and I didn't quite get that with Maz and Snoke. Unless in episodes 8 and 9 they both have a spinning lightsaber fight ala Yoda.

Other than that, I think the highlight for me was really the dogfights and lightsaber fight. You really felt the weight of the lightsabers as they clashed. And Rey piloting the Falcon on Jakku; with that suspended/stalled engine maneuver was awesome.

Oh yeah, Kylo is such a refreshing villain too. Very different take on the more evil/polished Sith we have already seen.

It was on purpose; the whole speech in front of thousands of stormtrooper is supposed to be like Hitler's Nuremberg speeches. First Order also is modelled on the Nazis (fun fact, Nazis also had stormtroopers Link)

I am disappointed that the light saber is activated by a button/switch and not by the force.

Rey is amnesiac Jedi... Lost her memory just like Jason Bourne... Bourne Identity style.. Just my theory..

maybe rey memory was wiped out to protect her from first order?

She was a child before stranded alone at Jakku. Most probably she was padawan on training with Luke b4 Knight of Ren started to massacre.
