There's some excellent points made in that clip not least the comment about leaving the past behind being directed also at the audience. Also, the remark about the film being made by movie writers rather than fan fiction authors. I'm going to have a chat with my teenage sons about why they...

Now you say that I get what Guy Fawkes was on about and it makes perfect sense. Cheers.

Yes, my point exactly. They stuck a tracker on the Falcon knowing it would jump to hyperspace.

Fair enough, although I always thought the line about womp rats is a reference to being able to hit a target that small whilst travelling at speed. My lads and I have been binge watching Star Wars today and we have spotted a plot hole in the latest film which has us puzzled although there's...

The original Death Star was blown up by proton torpedoes that could turn 90 degrees from their original trajectory. I presume all the purists are fine with that and the fact that neither the Empire or resistance have given any further thought to weapons that can shoot around corners.

This is a very good example of the very selective criticism that superficially sounds justified but is ultimately just navel-gazing. Ben Shapiro is right that the gravitational force in space is much weaker BUT he's arbitrarily applying physics from the real world into specific scenes but...

Agreed. It's a proper 3D film. The jumping into hyperspace through the Imperial cruiser was worth the admission money alone. That moment in the film will be spoken of for decades as a perfect example of how to use silence and slo-mo.

Can I just add that if you do get a chance, then please do fork out extra to see the film at the iMax at Waterloo. It's an experience unlike any other. The best way to describe it would be that a 2D showing at the Odeon would be the equivalent to listening to an album of music in mono compared...

You're missing the point(s). So many of the originals had parts that were flaky that you are trying to set a standard that none of the originals were ever subjected to. And it's a sci-fi, supernatural film which you are picking apart for being unbelievable. The whole premise of the genre demands...

You are taking this far too seriously. The very first Star Wars, the New Hope, had so many plot holes that it makes this latest Star Wars film look like a John Le Carre novel. The last trilogy of Star Wars films had Jar Jar Binks, an American diner and the worst acting seen for many decade - and...

I was thinking that too. It's a film about ghosts, space ships, supernatural powers and a universe inhabited by strange creatures, humans and robots all with British accents. Anyone looking for meaningful critiques of modern socio-economic issues is probably looking in the wrong place.

Yup. There were one or two odd moments that didn't fit (milking the walrus, Princess Leia doing a Superman impression) but these were minor compared to a film that had 30 minutes of superb action to start, was driven by story and character development thereon in until the last hour where the...

Just on the first train out of Victoria having seen a midnight showing at the Imax. Got to say that I think I must have seen a different film to most of you. That was quite brilliant. Definitely in my top 3 Star Wars films.
