Jilli, that's verbatim what I said about him!

Ha! I loved the stormtroopers overhearing his tantrum and just turning around and walking away.

There better be a damn good explanation for R2D2 waking up at that moment. Because it felt like he was ... sulking? and then decided to be helpful? I dunno.

Ha! I loved the

My headcanon is that the stormtroopers talk a LOT of shit about Kylo Ren in their barracks.

As for R2D2 waking up at the exact right time, I read an article about that, where JJ Abrams gives a weak-ass explanation for it. Let me see if I can find it...

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yeah, JJ's explanation is kind of lame. Apparently R2 is running on Windows ME.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

JJ's explanation is that R2 magically woke up at a emotionally convenient point in the story, and had been helpfully carrying around all the maps everyone needed for 38 years. Yeah, I'm good with that.

Having read the phrase "the robot version of crushing depression" (thanks, EW!), I stand by my opinion that R2D2 was sulking.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Daniel, your last pairing is spoilery.

Which one, the one I had white fonted, or the one I just added white font to?

I think that R2D2 actually was programmed to wake in the presence of Rey. I suspected at the end that she is Luke's daughter.

I think I'm going to see it earlier than planned, as my cousin Betsy (whose taste in entertainment mirrors mine almost perfectly) absolutely loved it and I want to be able to discuss it with her at the family gathering Thursday afternoon.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Interesting fan theory about Kylo Ren. Basically, emo boy is in deep cover.

Interesting theory. I wish I believed JJ was that deep, because I'd like to believe Han died for a good reason.
