A report about someoen on Reddit claiming to have read the episode VIII script and having a bunch of answers (only casting spoilers in the report, but includes a link to the reddit page)...

Regrding the 'it was just Episode IV all over again' argument: http://io9.gizmodo.com/harrison-fords-on-set-injury-rescued-the-force-awakens-1771899668 “The weird thing about that movie is that it had been so long since the last one. Obviously the prequels had existed in between and we wanted...

How do we know she didn't? We see barely any conversation between them as far as I recall. The only interaction I remember is her breezing by Chewie to hug Rey on her return from the starkiller base, and wanting to say something more but instead saying 'may the force be with you' before Rey sets...

The term 'mark' was old timey speak for a person who could be duped by conmen, or carnival folk. Pro-wrestling came out of carnivals, and a lot of that language came with it, and the term was used to describe fans who didn't realise wrestling was more of a show than a genuine sporting contest. A...

I'm fine with discussions and disagreement. But "All the fan bois marking out on Rey is fun to watch" isn't about discussion or disagreement. It's making fun of people who have a different opinion, which is more in line with trolling than it is with discourse.

Y'know, comments like that make you sound like you have no interest in discussing the points, you just want to come into a thread where people are enjoying something and piss all over it to upset them, like the people who post in every Dr Who thread "why do people watch that crap, it's for kids"...

On Rey's first attempts to take on Ren, he easily deflected her blaster shots, froze her with the flick of a wrist, and captured her, taking her off in his ship. He (without knowing) then starts showing her how to use the force. Even then, her first action in the fight is to be flung into a...

I believe that was his dad.

The official explanations for R2D2 waking up when he did: http://www.geek.com/news/jj-abrams-and-star-wars-writers-explain-r2-d2-in-the-force-awakens-1642788/ It was decided that when R2-D2 plugged into the Death Star in A New Hope, he obtained the Empire’s map of the galaxy, the one that he...

Please Stop Spreading This Nonsense that Rey From Star Wars Is a “Mary Sue” “Mary Sue” is one of those terms that had a useful meaning in fan culture at one point, long ago, and has now become both vague and toxic. Originally, a “Mary Sue” was an author surrogate, inserted into fan-fiction. The...

http://io9.gizmodo.com/all-the-backstory-you-desperately-want-to-know-about-th-1751196966 Not quite 'all the backstory' the title promises, but some interesting info.

Snoke seemed a bit hollow. Can't think of a well delivered line from Mark Hamill. Anthony Daniels was a bit robotic...

Would he have been recognised as a potential jedi youngling had he not been taken by the first order? Kylo Ren seemed to sense his, er, awakening (:wink:) from his conditioning... I think that could be rather silly, if not done well. Though I suspect his sensing Fin losing faith in the first...

Yoda also called to her. OH. MY. GOD. She's the love child of Yoda and Obi Wan!!!

I'm not sure I'm convinced by their predictability argument - there is a world of difference between seeing something coming in the preceding moments to it occurring (the death of Han by the way the scene unfolds), and seeing something coming an entire movie (or more?) away. It also doesn't...

You can argue that technicality if you like, but an overwhelming majority of star wars aficionados took what has become the legends universe as canon, and Lucas and Lucasfilms respected that and worked with it, going so far as to make changes to their own visions when it contradicted it, and...

I've downloaded it from Youtube. Not watched it yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX0x-I06Fpc

But it wasn't just checking the holocron. It was also licensing books and video games, with a degree of creative control to ensure it fit with Lucasfilm's vision with an acceptance and authentication of the books implying continuity.

Here It's a little complicated. Lucas never read any of it, but welcomed fan creativity. They had stated that only the films (and clone wars cartoons) were canon, but also licensed authors to tell stories and maintained a level of control, implying a degree of officialness to the stories...

According to the legends universe (no longer canon for the new films) Anakin was created by the force. Plagueis tried to create life using the dark side of the force, but failed. The force reacted to these attempts by creating the force-strong Anakin to give the light side of the force a chance...
