'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Daisy is very like Keira when she smiles. I was worried that it would be distracting during the movie, but it wasn't, perhaps because she doesn't smile much.
Graham Norton addressed the accent thing, here's a link: [link]
Short version: they tried Finn with a British accent and it didn't work. Watch on for Daisy and John being generally adorable and Carrie being... Carrie.
Oh, god, they're hilarious. All of them.
Wow, the Star Wars:TFA 'shippers are really tearing up the internet already.
I'm seeing:
Finn/Poe
Finn/Rae
Finn/Poe/Rae
and
Rey/Ben
.
I half expect to see Chewie/medic
The medic was a way-too brief Harriet Walter, and she was lovely.
I am seeing a potential Luke-Leia sibling incesty vibe for at least one of those shipper combinations. Finn-Rey is probably safe, and more than implied in the movie.
Daniel, your last pairing is spoilery.
I'm normally not a shipper, but even I could see Finn/Poe.
My boss said that Daisy Ridley's "stress face" reminded him of Hugo Weaving's and he found it very distracting. I personally didn't see it, though.
Pretty sure Finn/brick wall??
Emo Kylo Ren (lots o' spoilers, obviously)
Ahahahaha: "you can't truly appreciate the imperial march until you hear it on vinyl"
And: "i get all my winter clothes at Hoth Topic"
HOTH TOPIC. Ahahahahahaha.
Also:
*force-tosses you across the room* it's a TRILBY
I LOVE REY. She is the best. That is all.
So, it seems pretty unlikely to me that Rey will be a random Force-sensitive desert kid. It would be great, but I think it will either be "Kylo, I am your sister" or "Kylo, I am your cousin." I've also seen speculation that she could be Obi-wan's granddaughter, but I feel like too much was set up with Luke's light saber LITERALLY calling her.
I loved the moment in the final light saber battle when Kylo says "Light side sux! Let me train you in the Force!" and she's all "OH RIGHT THE FORCE" and proceeds to wipe the floor with him.
And I love in the beginning there are moments with Poe and Finn in the tie fighter and also with Finn and Rey in the Falcon when the young characters are SO FUCKING PUMPED TO BE IN A STAR WARS MOVIE. And they're right! Being in the Star Wars universe is awesome!
Did I skim, or did we all know that the storm trooper that Rey Jedi mind-tricks into letting her go was Daniel Craig? I probably skipped.
