Xander ,'Get It Done'
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.
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...
t edit Here it is (I made it a TinyURL so that hovering over the link won't be spoilery): [link]
Yeah, JJ's explanation is kind of lame. Apparently R2 is running on Windows ME.
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.
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.
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.
It is quite interesting, though I don't know if it'll pan out. It is very REN KILLS HANBLEDORE.
