It's a reboot, get over it.
- Soft reboot. It still has ties to the original timeline.jagara
- ah - its a reboot, wish I'd known that 3 years ago.fadein11
- a new hope remakeCygnusZero4

this one thing i have a massive problem with.. if the empire had the incomplete map with just that one piece missing, surely they could have just narrowed their search to the missing part and within 30 years of probes they would have been able to search that missing part..
- +1bainbridge
- the galaxy may be bigger than that?pango
- The First Order had nothing. Remember even the Resistance thought BB8's map was near useless until R2 woke up to put it in context.ETM

How do the spaceships go at lightspeed without hitting anything?
They take off and dodge rocks and debris in the sky and then go at lightspeed without fear?
- I remember seeing or reading an explanation for this: I guess theres a system that plots the course for your destination which avoids shit like that.sofakingback
- I remember in the scenario, that system had broken so they couldn't do it safely. But they did it anyway, running the risk.sofakingback
- Something like that, its a movie. Its safe to say a lot of shit won't add up. :)sofakingback
- I wonder if they ever addressed that?:
https://www.youtube.…ETM - lol. boom!sofakingback
- Space is big, the chances of actually hitting something ate beyond infinitesimalset
- Are*set
- Computers.BK
- Seriously, if you can figure out how to go light speed I'm sure you can figure out the rest.BK
- Wormhole / hyperspace - if it was shown correctly the ship doesn't actually go anywherefadein11

Apparently Wookiees don’t age, or they age much slower than human actors do.
- Chewie uses Just for Wookies® to deal with the graysprophetone
- Bit hard to see aged skin under all that hair...set

Can scientists and Nasa engineers watch Star Wars and not cringe?
- What is funny...is that Star Wars probably inspired them to be scientists and NASA engineers in the first place!utopian
- black science guy called BS on BB8 traveling in sand, among other thingsscarabin
- yeah. But at least he can navigate stairs, unlike R2..Projectile

The line where C3PO said to Han Solo "you may not recognize me because of the red arm" was absolutely hilarious and a perfect line for C3PO.
Did anyone else laugh out loud at that?
- nope. i find C3PO annoying. but glad not jar jar...pango
- good scene. followed by bad chemistry between ford and fisher. wth happened there?sofakingback
- agreed, perfect line. it's what made him so lovably annoying in the originals.prophetone
- "wth happened there?"
their son for one?bainbridge

@mg33
I do feel like the idea that Finn was raised from birth and conditioned to be a soldier was not present in his personality at all. But I would prefer an entertaining character to a perhaps what, a stiff, naive drone? Because I would think, crisis of conscience aside, having known a life of regiment and discipline would make a bland and not entertaining option in this universe.

Saw it. Loved it. That is all.

and... dogear.
on a lighter note, here's harrison ford when he was still just a carpenter on the set of star wars.
- What?! Star war was his first movie?! He was a Carpenter?pango
- he was in good shapepinkfloyd
- He was a carpenter, but this photo is from 1970. And he was already acting before SW... American Graffiti for example.ETM
- So, yes he was a carpenter at one point... no this is not the Star Wars set.ETM
- ^ correctionscarabin
- he built shit for rich people in hollywood.zenmasterfoo
- Jesus was also a carpenter. Just so you know.sureshot
- Princess Leia wanted that six packpinkfloyd
- Sooo... before Apocalypse NowWeyland

Lucas: salty.
- pango0
I'm gonna call it! Luke will die in the next movie!
- yeah, would not be surprising...docpoz
- https://www.youtube.…ETM
- No, they will do that in 9.. Leila will die next .. Or chewieautoflavour
- They should never kill off Chewie. Any actor can play him, and he could live through decades (centuries!) of SW movies.nb
- Killing him off would cost the studio a lot of money in lost merchandising opportunities!nb

- that's what this thread is for man, stop trying to control every postscarabin

- he used a smiley face emoji, cool your podracer jets there sparkyburd-turglar

- And ya pango, staff defitly has a bunch of significance. See utopians post up there with the ren knightsburd-turglar
- Ayo what's up with you tonight scarabin, you seem kinda tenseburd-turglar
- it's old news dude - a v.old observation from that trailer which nerds noticed... I was just saying its going to be quite dull if you post a lot of nerdy stufffadein11
- that has been out there for months just because you gave yourself some weird self imposed SW media drought prior to EpVII.fadein11
- Trust me I am not the biggest SW fan, I DO NOT HOST SW RPG GAMES and build lightsabers as a hobby... Chill dude. Anyway, spk soon :)fadein11
- it's one post dude, if you've read it already just do what any normal human being would do and keep scrolling.scarabin
- it's not up to you to declare what's okay to discuss and i guarantee there will be folks here who didn't see the vid you're talking about.scarabin
- New news to me and sofaking. Not sure who you meant by "we all saw month ago"pango

- @Hayoth - sharing is caring :)fadein11
- thanks, hayothscarabin
- i dunno fadein, you were being pretty cuntish.inteliboy
- We should bring timeline back. Saves the argument and everyone just carry on.pango
- @intelliboy - oh well its QBN - SW man got timelined - who gives a shit.fadein11
- who gives a rats ass about timelines. not everyone sees everything at the same time. you would think that's a given.sea_sea
- Lol @ rats ass... sounds like my wife, her fav line. anyway, we're all nerds is the point here. the end.prophetone

- I didn't read all these cunty notes but I hadn't seen this until nowset
- Sorry guys but Scarabin AKA Kylo Ren called me a cunt for making a joke he didn't get. I wasted 20mins of my life explaining last night and he still didn'tfadein11
- get it... The irony was lost clearly. But heyho it's all good - he often acts up like that.fadein11
- star waaaaaarssss.. nothing but staaaar waaarssss!!!docpoz
- I wonder what Obi 1 has to say about all this.sureshot
- geez, 35 extra messages.. can someone just give me a quick summary?autoflavour
- ^ yep - Scarabin turned into a whiney bitch again.fadein11
- To be fair you're the only whiny little twit I can see here. What the fuck is up with you?set
- Don't really appreciate being called a cunt for cracking a joke.fadein11
- christ, fadein, you're still on this? lol.
you made a shit joke that that come off as bitchy to everyone but yourself. it's okay, move on already.scarabin - i even apologized for calling you a cunt even though you acted like one and tossed around insults freely yourself. that's not me being a "whiny bitch", that'sscarabin
- me being the adult in the exchange. while you're still calling names.scarabin
- ya'll notice rey's goggles are made of parts from a stormtrooper helmetMHDC
- It's Rei! Damn it! Rei!pango
- @scarabin - this is getting boring - you have a history of this kind of thing - but I won't dredge up the past now. happy to forget it this little incident,fadein11
- just don't overreact to a stupid joke... its childish. anyway enjoy your week. Cheers.fadein11
- [and I really should read my notes before posting]fadein11
- oh please, fadein. last thing i heard about you was someone wanting to smash your face in. i agree, you should read what you type before posting.scarabin
- for the hundredth goddamn time, have a nice day.scarabin
- Teenage mutant trooper turtle headset
- This is cool.monospaced
- He wanted to kick my ass by the way, not smash my face in :)fadein11
- Do we have a pool for thispango
- @mdhc LOL GOLD!! I hadn't noticed thatautoflavour

Maz Kanata looks as crap as Snoke. If this is Yodas replacement, they could come up with something a bit better than an orange with goggles.
- DO NOT CRITICISE THE GENIUS MOVIEfadein11
- SORRY IT'S AMAZING THEN :)jagara
- THANKS - PEOPLE DON'T LIKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ROUND HEREfadein11
- Apparently, I'm not alone: http://collider.com/…jagara
- BAD CG FOR SURE.pango
- jeez fadein, i think this may be your longest tantrum yetscarabin
- http://pre11.deviant…burd-turglar
- jeez Scarabin why do you care so much?fadein11
- i don't, just making an observationscarabin
- by all means, continuescarabin
- https://i.ytimg.com/… why are you upsetburd-turglar
- Continue what? - commenting on your v.old SW news you post as if new?fadein11
- what's next - Rey lives in an AT-AT's hoof?
jesus - lighten up... on one hand you post pics of your homemade lightsabers and then get all stroppy whenfadein11 - yeah this character had a blurry CGI look, really out of place. and kinda a shit character too.inteliboy
- @pango CG or puppet, that's not the point. The design is totally generic and unmemorable. Grapefruit with goggles.jagara
- your little bitchfit. i disagreed with you days ago and you're still upset about it.
move on, buddyscarabin - someone points out your geek-find isn't that new. Stop thinking you rule Star Wars or I will have to use my jedi mind timeline on you lol... chill dude :)fadein11
- Some kind of citrus fruit.jagara
- lol. i never suggested anything was new, no idea why you're focusing so hard on that.scarabin
- the only reason i even said anything about it was because you were being curiously hostile about it. i couldn't give a shit about being timelinedscarabin
- Scarabin - who cares - your post was old - relax. move on. we know you love SW. so do I. stop caring so much. May the force be with you.fadein11
- Rei lives in an at-at?!?pango
- ^ see above. i have zero beef with you man, just find it odd that you're flipping out over everything todayscarabin
- you called me a cunt for making a jokey comment (inc. :) ) about you posting geeky SW stuff after saying you had not watched anything. Jeez... you are gettingfadein11
- bothered calling me a cunt - it was a joke... irony... [SW fan doesn't view anything so as not to spoil film then posts everything the nerds have seen after}fadein11
- jesus - IT WAS A JOKE. I react to be called a cunt for having a laugh with a fellow(!) nerd.fadein11
- i posted "everything"? lol. i posted one image about the goggles. man, you are delusionalscarabin
- for what it's worth i'm sorry i called you a cunt. we cool?scarabin
- Yes we were never not cool - do you get my point? - you have said numerous times "I DID NOT WATCH A TRAILER OR ANYTHING ETC." before watching the film...fadein11
- my stupid joke I wish I had never posted now was playing on the irony of now you will keep finding stuff the people who did watch every spoiler vid already knewfadein11
- Please don't call me a cunt for having a laugh - its an overreaction. Thanks.fadein11
- posting ONE image about a pair of goggles which was news to many others on the site besides myself hardly constitutes posting "everything" that was "old news".scarabin
- maybe you just told a shit joke or your sarcasm didn't come through on the internet. if that's the case then it's all a misunderstandingscarabin
- IT WAS A JOKE... FFS. I was imagining the self imposed media embargoed SW NERD (=you) suddenly discovering a wealth of information as if it was new.fadein11
- it wasn't that funny - but didn't expect to be called a cunt for it... anyway - this is getting boring - must be a cultural barrier going on. have a good eve.fadein11
- I thought Larry David taught you guys sarcasm/irony etc... jesus.fadein11
- make it funny next time and more people may get that it's a joke. goodnightscarabin
- fuck off arrogant prickfadein11
- I got several chuckles out of this intergalactic jimmy rustlingburd-turglar
- you sure toss out the insults easily for someone who claims to be genuinely hurt by being called a cuntscarabin
- me too, gilgascarabin
- Certify me scarabin, it is your destinyburd-turglar
- lol. why?scarabin
- Originally because I wrote an essay on why God is math in the religion thread. Now it's a matter of upholding traditionburd-turglar
- relax guises, its only a movie.utopian
- nah, you're much more reasonable when you want something.scarabin
- I am reasonable when dealt with reasonably. Don't resist your destinyburd-turglar
- make being around you not something we have to "deal with" and i'm sure someone will certify you eventually. not that it means anythingscarabin
- What ever, suit yourselfburd-turglar
- Wowmonospaced
- ^what he wrotedopepope
- the mod just found out his gilga or did he do something stupid?pango

The Falcon is flown with a combination of analogue and motion controls. How do you not know this?
- sea_sea1
about kylo ren and the first order, the costume design was impeccable imo.
- indeedprophetone
- tailored to perfection. http://media.comicbo…sea_sea
- Im guessing that some one has a crush.utopian
- on kilo ren? absolutely, please keep the mask on though.sea_sea
- awwwe poor Adam EMO DriverRamanisky2
- I liked Driver, and the character. I just think his mask is just 'off'. Looks like a BMX helmet to me.dopepope
- fadein11-3
Does anyone know how the Falcon is flown? Whoever is flying it regardless of the elaborate acrobatics they are performing just sits in front of a hug control panel with a couple of levers not really doing anything.
Hand and Chewie in the asteroid belt.
Rey in the downed Star Destroyer.
Lando in Death Star II.
I know its part of its charm but I imagine it must be quite tricky controlling that ship with one lever and a load of flashing lights?- *huge *Hanfadein11
- You are aware it's a movie, right? ; )dopepope
- I imagine it's a lot like the self driving cars of today, but with an asteroid avoidance feature as an upgrade_niko
- The cockpit changed in the movies. By ROTJ their were yokes for the pilots.ETM
- The yokes are clearly visible in TFA. Here's a shot of the set piece:
http://ichef.bbci.co…ETM - cool - but never used if you watch the desert scene. I was just being light-hearted anyway.fadein11
- Argh! Just noticed: their = there.ETM
- It's that one big lever that Han so obviously uses in the new episode.. That's all u needautoflavour
- I've never thought much of it, but assume that lever is the throttle.ETM
- Star Wars is not what you call hard sci-fi...jagara
- ^ETM
- It's mostly AImonospaced
- autoflavour0
the real bombshell is that Rey is actually daughter of Luke and Leia.. game of thrones stylee

Watched Ep. VII last night. Had fun!
Many people had told me it was a bad sequel, Disney yada-yada, low quality story, etc.. I'm not a Star Wars freak, and really enjoyed it.- Really? Who told you it was bad? 99.999% of people are wetting themselves over it.fadein11
- cygnusscarabin
- Reactions are overwhelmingly positive, but skim through this thread. Not everybody agrees it's fantastic. Personally, I just really enjoyed it, nothing more.jagara
- I dont think the movie is terrible. I just dont like some aspects of it, and it could have been better.CygnusZero4
