[QUOTE="Ian_C, post: 375779, member: 6115"] Ok, so we can discuss spoilers in this thread? I have been waiting for this..... There is good reason for that. You DID just watch Star Wars. And Empire. And Jedi. And even a bit of the PT. All rolled into one. And this is why some will love it (it feels like the originals) and why some (like me) will feel it is nothing other than a 100% ripoff, or as I like to say, a big budget expanded universe fan fiction using Lucas's ideas. This is from an email I sent to someone the other day discussing this exact subject. Rey = young innocent with no parents on desert planet who discovers she is Force sensitive and becomes the main hero = Luke Kylo Ren = former Jedi apprentice who falls to the Dark Side, acquires a black outfit and red lightsaber, and becomes the real villain's #1 henchman = Darth Vader Finn = guy who escapes big ship in the beginning of the movie, hooks up with lost young hero on desert planet, and is used mostly as comedic relief after that = C-3PO BB-8 = smartass little droid who contains vital information and because of that is being hunted by bad guys = R2-D2 Maz = small alien who speaks in riddles and focuses young hero as to their destiny = Yoda Starkiller Base = giant planet modified to become destructive force used to wipe out Rebel base = Death Star I AND II Starkiller Base = ice planet = Hoth Starkiller Base = having a weakness exposed in a trench that fighter spacecraft can infiltrate and blow the whole damn thing up = Death Star I Captain Phasma = mysterious soldier employed by the Empire hunting down heroes that wears a unique suit of armor with a cape over one shoulder that we only see a little of = Boba Fett Luke Goes Into Seclusion On A Remote Island = where he goes after his failure = Yoda Goes To Dagobah General Hux = Nazi-like leader in charge of Starkiller Base (ie Death Star I) who is shown to be disagreeable to Klo Ren (Darth Vader) - Grand Mofff Tarkin Snoke = mysterious leader seen mostly in hologram form seated on a throne and is the true leader of the bad guys = Emperor Poe = Rebel pilot who is an unsung hero and plays a vital role in the destruction of Starkiller Base (ie Death Star II) = Wedge Antilles Kylo Ren vs Han Solo = young former Jedi turned Sith kills older father with lightsaber blow after father tries to convince him to let go of his hatred = Vader vs Obi-Wan Leia = strong female leader who convinces man close to her to go and try to convert bad guy back to good = Leia (to Luke on Endor) Rey Obtains Millennium Falcon = hero goes to junk shop, meets with slimy junk dealer, finds an unexpected friend, and ends up finding ship (or important part of one) that gets them off desert planet = Qui-Gon goes to Mos Espa, meets Watto, discovers Anakin, and finds hyperdrive he needs to get off Tatooine Max Von Sydow's character = person who supplies Poe/BB-8 with info the bad guys REALLY want, before being killed by Kylo Ren very early into movie = Captain Antilles, transporting Leia who provides R2-D2 with info the bad guys REALLY want, before being killed by Vader very early into movie Than there's all the bits of fan service/cameos/Easter eggs. X-Wings, TIE Fighters, Star Destroyers, Chewbacca, Ackbar, Nien Nunb, various bits of dialogue, etc. Did I miss anything? Is there ANYTHING original in this movie? Ian [/QUOTE]
