the problem with all these lineage theories is that I thought Jedi's weren't supposed to marry? Are they all out there having illegitimate children? Could be lots of Neices and nephews i guess

There is literally no chance in hell any Jedi has been able to resist using the force to get chicks to do the wildest shit ever.

Colored just sounds better. And it's far more accurate than "black". But as for Lando....i think we can all agree if it was about his offspring we'd be talking more than one. He was far to smooth to just have one. Hell, he's Lando!

My son who is 12 prefers to use colored, but he's from a small town in MN. I told him that I use the term black these days, even though they aren't black, I'm not actually white either, we all have a color. Talking about it seemed to make all of my kids uncomfortable, unfortunately. Anyway, a topic for a different board.
And they apparently pick up young boys wandering in the desert.

Yeah that's what I thought - film starts with someone entrusting a hologram-thing of great importance to a droid whilst under attack. Film ends with an attack on a big planet sized spaceship that can destroy planets, and they only get one shot before it's too late...
Couple of niggles - if the empire is routed after film 3, where does the Order come from? Where does it get the resources to build the Big Eeevil Planet Killer? Why doesn't the Resistance or whatever they're called know about it? Thermal oscillator? WTF?
Still enjoyed it though.
Jedi's aren't supposed to marry? Says who? Maybe when there was an established Jedi council, and a long standing academy... However, Luke received minimal training from Yoda. Then he's been off on his own, essentially the last remaining Jedi (the previous jedi establishment has long since deceased).
So, what rules does Luke have to follow regarding having children? He's making up his own damn rules.
Frankly both of them are waaaaaaaay too skinny for me, but the other chick has something going on that I can't put my finger on.

Luke completed his training with Yoda between Empire and Jedi. I think the the Jedi vows were discussed in Clones maybe...which is why Anakin and Padme married in secret. Don't forget he can still communicate with Obi Wan after his death, and the jedi apparitions all appear at the end of ROJ...so we don't know how much he has been on his own, while re-establishing a Jedi academy and hiding out at the Jedi Temple.

your talking about the abusive twin sister who lives down the hall. right? Yeah, she's got it going on!

So I totally forgot my closing argument....
If Kylo Ren was in fact been selected to kill Snoke, then we can go back to the Jedi prophecy of the chosen one who will bring balance to the universe. It could be argued that neither Anakin or Luke were ever chosen to do anything, and obviously balance has not yet been restored to the universe.

Has anyone watched this with D-box seating? Wondering if it is worth it when I take the kids for the second viewing... by "worth it" I mean bumping the drive time from 40 minutes (our regular theater) to 80 minutes (theater that offers D-box).

That's pretty brilliant. Ran it by my wife and she likes what you said too, mentioned it kinda reminds her of how Snape killed Dumbeldore to remain in the confidences of Voldemort in the Harry Potter series.
Your analysis makes me more interested in seeing the next film in the series to see where they take it.
As far as Finn's lineage goes, Mace Windu was killed off in the prequels, which go further back than the originals in the timeline, so I think it'd be tough for Finn to be his son (doesn't mean he couldn't be of that lineage I suppose, but lessens the possibility). Him being related to Lando is a possibility, although does Finn HAVE to be related to someone we know that was part of the Rebel Alliance? Just seems a bit hokey to have that be the case AND he meets up with Rey as well (the Force works in mysterious ways?)
Also, what's the deal with the stun baton Storm Trooper's weapon not getting sliced into nothing when Finn is hitting it with the lightsaber? Seems kind of a cheap way to try and include a semi-cool fight scene by ignoring the history we've seen with lightsabers.

Seats that move, rumble, etc along with various action scenes for a few bucks more. They have them installed in 2 or 3 rows in a few of their theaters.

Everyone is related to Lando. That cat spread DNA all over the galaxy (y) :thumbsup:

No doubt in my mind the whole thing about Kilo Ren being a good guy, assassin for the Republic or whatever was complete horseshit.
I found myself talking to a buddy this morning who hadn't heard those theories and in explaining them to him I think I may have inadvertantly convinced myself that it is so, at least about the bridge scene and Han being the one who activated the light saber.
No doubt I will be watching KRs scenes a bit closer on my 2nd viewing.

Hey, this said Star Wars spoilers, not Harry Potter spoilers. (only through the first three books, didn't read them until my kids became interested.)

The last movie was about 4-5 years ago and the books are even older than that, I take no responsibility for your failure to keep up with pop culture!

I wasn't really being serious ... I'm aware of many of the major plot points though I'm a bit unclear on the details. Still fun to discover through my kids' eyes, and if I hear about things by mistake at this point, so be it. There are plenty of small things that are making the series fun even if it's not a total discovery process.
Finally saw it this weekend and skim read the posts. I liked the movie, but I can wait to see it again on HBO. Of course, I had thoughts too, and some have been answered. I recalled Rey saying something about living on an island when she was a kid, and when they go to Luke's place, they are islands and she acts like it is familiar. I don't know why "garbage" would be ready to fly, fueled, and armed. One would assume it would be scrap or need something done to it before take off and blasting. Also, think that ONCE in 30+ years, Han would have shot Chewie's gun. Drunk on a planet shooting cans at a minimum.
When Han was talking about "there is always a shield", I was sure fish head would say "it could be a trap"
I kept seeing Dark Helmet for the rest of the movie.
I cannot quite reconcile the empire/republic/rebel first order/republic/resistance thing, I would assume the republic would resume running the whole thing and they would reclaim storm troopers and such, not the first order. I assume that will be hashed out in upcoming film, maybe explain how a planet having a giant trench excavated escaped everyone's spy probes and such, or why the resistance had no clue that yet another giant planet killing weapon was being built.
Anyway, enjoyed it and hope the plots build as some here have discussed.
