    Any thoughts on TFA for young children?

    I took all three of my kids. Ages 13, 7, and 5. Ignore the teenager view. My 7 year old son loved it. He's been talking all day about it, and gives it 10/10. My 5 year old daughter wasn't scared at all - but was very bored. Depends on the kids, really, and how sensitive they are. It's...

    Death Stars - SPOILERS

    Trolling is being a dick, like you were in the *blah blah blah science* response. I don't even want a 'scientific' debate. You are mad at me for posting opinions you don't like, and are now treating me with condescending replies. Whatever. I've had MUCH worse over the years, and can handle...

    Sorry but didn't like it (contains no spoilers)

    I see what you're doing. :) Giving it a 5/10 is factoring in top notch special effects, and thinking parts like the score were just fine. I gave it high marks for plot - but that has a huge asterisk, as with it being total rehash, I'm judging it on a plot that I LOVED in the original movies...

    Where do you rank the seven movies now?

    We are more alike than you know my friend. :) Joe, we need to stop ripping on George for the PT. If you guys hate them, that's fine (personally, I find it highly hypocritical to be blasted for not liking TFA when many of the same people trash the PT). However, this whole "Lucas didn't do it...

    He asked. I answered. I never wanted to make a "science" debate. Don't be a trolling dick. Ian

    Id on vintage starwars card part ?

    First one is the Falcon. It fits inside the rear section, and runs behind the gun turret seat. On the top right of the pic there is a circular drawing. I have always taken that to represent a corridor taking you deeper into the Falcon. As Michael said, the second one goes to the Kenner Death...

    More stuff!....carded POTF funny colour figures

    The guy is swearing these are all legit, and that Crumb was released a few years ago on card? He's either clueless, or a scammer. Crumb has NEVER been issued on a card of any kind, except as an accessory to the POTJ deluxe Amanaman figure, and that sculpt is very different to the vintage one...

    Captain Phasma update - possible spoiler although not quite :D

    Yes, it would have been completion of that story arc. They could have even changed the ending and had her escape instead of getting shot like the Stormtrooper did. The scene (and movie) both screamed out for a Finn vs Phasma confrontation at some point, and not the kidnapping/demand to lower...

    Where do you rank the seven movies now?

    Very similar here. I put TPM slightly ahead of TFA, which is just slightly ahead of AOTC, and ESB ahead of ANH. Otherwise, same list. Ian

    Captain Phasma update - possible spoiler although not quite :D

    I agree that would have been a better use of Phasma as well. Ian

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    Regarding the cheering, in all fairness I saw all three of the PT at midnight premieres, and JW on the first day (not second/third). Trying to remember back to the PT, I think the second time I saw each the crowd may indeed have been more reserved. Here in Canada, we also tend to be much more...

    Death Stars - SPOILERS

    Is this trolling Stuart? Two suns. We don't know how far away they are from Tatooine. If they are far enough away, it would be the equivalent of life being on Saturn or Jupiter instead of Earth. Has zero to do with an honest question about Starkiller Base though. If you guys think I'm an...

    Sorry but didn't like it (contains no spoilers)

    Well, if you guys had read the other threads first, I was dead set against it. My family convinced me to go. Part of it was also me getting tired of being dismissed for my opinions because "I wasn't there". Now, I've seen it, and you guys are STILL not happy. I've posted my criticisms in...

    Death Stars - SPOILERS

    No, absolutely not. But SW has always managed to present things as believable in the face of scientific improbability. These were just two glaring things I noticed. I can ignore the first one, and I suppose the "message" of destroying planets is there too for the second, but wouldn't the fear...

    Relationships

    Honestly, if a girl is aware of the collection, it is up to them if they want to accept it as part of the person they're dating, or leave the relationship. It is unfair for someone to try and change who someone is. It'll just lead to regret and bitterness, and is a sign of more control issues...

    Entire cast of TFA to return for 8

    I've seen those casting calls too. I think the omission of one primary cast member from Ep VIII would just be too much of an obvious spoiler for this movie, so he is listed as a red herring, to throw people off what happens in TFA. Flashbacks are possible, but I think he's done. Ian

    SPOILERS!!! Maz Kanata

    This is, quite honestly, my biggest issue with Disney having the rights. The films should at least be able to stand on their own, without resorting to blatant money-milking tactics like leaving explanations to other media to flesh out. Unrelated to TFA specifically, I think any film that...

    Lightsaber duels in the force awakens. Potential spoilers!

    I have to defend this scene with this point. Kylo Ren may have had some sword practice, as it appeared Finn had training of some sort like this too. But who would Ren have had a lightsaber fight against? It appears as though Luke's missing saber is the only other known one out there in this...

    Talk about new Star Wars movie, do not read if you have NOT seen it

    It wasn't even the empty seats that really struck me. The bottom two rows, no one likes those seats, as it makes you strain your neck to watch. The rest of the seating was more a few seats here and there. With so many screens, and many having bought tickets for the two previous days though, I...

    Death Stars - SPOILERS

    Honest question about Starkiller Base. Forget about the comparisons to the other Death Stars. Love or hate the movie, we've all made that connection, and most point to that as being a weak spot in the film. Anyway, this thing gains its power by sucking all of the energy from a star system's...
