Finally watched the movie after all the hype... Saw it in 3D too! The trailer really wowed me, but the movie didn't quite do the same. Amazing special effects sure, but storyline was kinda average IMHO.
I think I'd be more interested in seeing how Luke screwed everything up prior to episode 7!
Anyway, hope this is just to set us up for something awesome later. As it is, it's just a so so movie I think...
Various muhhfuggers on the internet are talking about a March 15 release date for downloadable versions of TFA, with an early April release of disc media editions.
I'll be buying the steelbook Blu-Ray edition (they should call it Blue-Rey just for the hell of it).
And you might be able to predict that I won't be waiting an extra two weeks past the digital relase to watch it when the Blu-Ray hits. Nope. I'll be stealing it off the web as soon as possible and I don't care.
Finally got a chance to see this. Reys clothing reminded me a lot of Lukes from Tattooine and then finally his clothing at the end of TFA.
I suspect Finn is somehow empowered by the Force. Didnt the line Snoke said about an awakening happen fairly early and not long after either Finn didn't fire on Jakku or after the escape?
as for Rey didnt Maz say something along the lines of close your eyes and let it empower you to her in the basement storage area?
Welcome to the late for the hype club!
Finn must have some involvement... otherwise he'd be such a worthless character... initially with the trailer, one'd thought he's a trained tie fighter pilot or has some critical inside info to destroy the new death star, but in the film, he's just a new recruit who knows nothing and often need to be rescued by Rey!?!?!?
He is not a new recruit. He has been trained since he was a child, but had never seen combat. Conversely, Rey had likely never been formally trained but had to fend for herself from a young age.
I do not think Finn is overly Force sensitive, though it is possible, we don't get enough information either way. It's obvious that Rey is far more Force sensitive, at least. I don't remember clearly, but from what I can tell from a Google search, Snoke says he has sensed an Awakening after Han and the crew head for Maz's. At this point, Rey and Finn find out that the Force is real, that the stories they have heard are true. Could that have been enough? Or perhaps was it when the two of them were doing things in the Millenium Falcon that neither could explain? Hell, it's possible the reason Han was so good at flying and shooting was that he had some latent level of Force sensitivity (and it would partially explain why it was so strong in his son).
It would follow the first trilogy to have two Force sensitive leads, but only one who is able to channel it physically (Leia is only ever able to sense the presence of others IIRC, and at no point shows interest in developing her powers, let alone becoming a Jedi).
Get that weak shit off my track
