That's a very interesting way of looking at him being credited exactly how he should be credited according to the WGA.
It was fun seeing Uwais and Ruhian from The Raid in that gang, was kinda expecting them to have a scrap with Boyega, but they just got eaten by them monsters it seems. Apparently Rahman is in there as well somewhere, so I wonder if one of the 3 was the stun baton/tonfa trooper?FranticPea wrote:I liked the Stormtrooper with the big stun baton thing. More of those please. Keep remembering little things, it's a pretty relentless film. Anyway, I'm off to see it for a second time on the 30th...

Remember the flashes that Rey gets when she picks up Luke's saber. You see Luke putting the fluence on R2.tin_robot wrote:The main thing I didn't get was what the hell was going on with R2. "Oooh, we can't use R2, he's in low power mode." "Oh, look, R2's conveniently not in low power mode any more..." I assume he was waiting for a Jedi to emerge, or something, but it was all a bit silly.

Its like having World War II and 15 years later everyone's like "who the fuck is Hitler" Still, its an awesome movie and its not for plot scrutiny, its all about the ride.
Ah yeah but Im wondering who big bad turns out to be...like is he some new form of a character we have seen or is he someone new altogether....djchump wrote:He's the secret big bad dark side boss now I guess.superflyninja wrote:...Who the fuck is the Snooke dude???Space Nazis innit. Also, waiting for big reveals in 8 about how Rey's parents are/were (and probably also Finn's family). I guess at the very least they can't be brother/sister this timesuperflyninja wrote:First Order as a name? What it mean? ...

Yeah it was odd about the resistance. They didnt have any awings for anything. Most peculiar.
What Im confused about is Ben. So Luke had a Jedi training academy and Ben goes nuts and tries to destroy it all. But how can he do it? He clearly isnt a full fledged Sith Lord in this film never mind when he was training. Also Luke would have been easily able to overcome him. Im sure all that will be explained in time. But yay!!!!
I'm figuring it must be someone new, as it'd be a bit much of a stretch for it to be an all withered-up remains of the Emporer that somehow survived. Plus, it's Serkis, not McDiarmid (which I guess would be a totaly giveaway if it was McDiarmid, so we'll not 100% know until the next film I guess).superflyninja wrote:Ah yeah but Im wondering who big bad turns out to be...like is he some new form of a character we have seen or is he someone new altogether....djchump wrote:He's the secret big bad dark side boss now I guess.superflyninja wrote:...Who the fuck is the Snooke dude???

Was also a bit confused by the "oh, wait, they're still rebels? So there's still an Empire? So they didn't fully win in RotJ? And the rebel fleet is now only a few x-wings? and those planets that got blown up were some kind of republic or something?".
I kind of had it figured that a galactic empire is pretty big and takes a long time to fully get rid of or something. They seemed to have an even bigger equipment advantage over the rebels now, star destroyers and that planet thing, and rebels only had some x-wings.

Also... Was that coruscant destroyed by it?
Oh actually, someone at work said that in the flashback thing that Rey gets when touching the lightsaber, you see Luke with the robot hand touching up R2 head thing, so maybe he was putting a 'fluence or magic spell on him.optimark_prime wrote:I assumed R2 was 'concentrating' on piecing together the galaxy map, and 'awoke' when he'd completed as much as possible.
Stopharage wrote:Re: Ben and the academy. It's not necessarily stated that Ben destroyed/disrupted it's working on his own. Possibly he revealed its whereabouts to Snooke and First Order targeted it?
Somebody further up the page said it too.djchump wrote:Oh actually, someone at work said that in the flashback thing that Rey gets when touching the lightsaber, you see Luke with the robot hand touching up R2 head thing, so maybe he was putting a 'fluence or magic spell on him.optimark_prime wrote:I assumed R2 was 'concentrating' on piecing together the galaxy map, and 'awoke' when he'd completed as much as possible.
