Don't forget: I went into this movie practically blind - up until 30 mins into the movie I thought Kylo Ren was to be revealed as Luke Skywalker! Lol I started imagining this based on the second teaser, but I pictured a completely different scenario, more like Ben Kenobi. They instead remaked other scenes for it. I also imagined Chewie attacking Kylo physically but instead he shoots him from afar. I thought it would be in or near the Falcon, but instead that's a deleted scene. To my sister, who had seen nothing, the movie was predictable as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I found the Han scene more effective for the exact reason that you knew it was coming.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 It's a throwaway line that is supposed to be cute/funny, but really doesnt need to be there. (has the term "boyfriend" ever been used in Star Wars before that). It's completely harmless IMO though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Or it's just a hint to his origins. It will probably turn out that Finn was taken from modern day Earth as a child, in exactly the same way Starlord was in Guardians Of The Galaxy! This will be what will ties the Star Wars Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe together! Chewie and Groot will hug each other in Episode 9!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 If the definition of "vintage Star Wars" is that it sounds just like the OT, then I agree. For the most part it's a modern Williams score with occasional callbacks to the Original Trilogy "sound". DarthDementous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I know what Justin means about Finn though. Something about his excitable delivery was uncharacteristic of the franchise so far, and it was just a little bit jarring.

crumbs 14,301 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Abrams may have slightly over-corrected the flat, artificial, unrelatable and utterly lifeless delivery of dialogue rightfully criticized in the prequels, but I can't fault him for that. I know which type of direction led to the vastly superior movie (and it wasn't the guy sipping coffee in his director's chair watching A camera, B camera, shot, reverse shot). JJ was clearly trying to give the film a kinetic drive by using the characters as the energetic force (pardon the pun) that gave the film its narrative momentum. There's also plenty of quiet and reflective scenes with Rey, Han and other characters that counter Finn's personality, so he was very aware of balancing the film's tone.
