pulling out the legion ?
The legion was a unit in the Roman army. On earth.
If this was a galaxy far far away, and long long ago, where did they get to nick their military structure from an iron age culture from the future in a geographically remote place ?
It just does not make any sense to me(\__/)

Aside from Rey and Finn, though, the rest was pretty good stuff. No new ground. Just a much, much bigger, more eco-friendly solar powered version of the death star and a lot of lightsabre porn.
I'm more hyped about the Independence Day sequel and the new ST film.Comment

Originally posted by unixman View PostKylo Ren was good, especially his creepy voice. When he took the mask off though, he struck me as too young to be properly evil. And wearing the mask for no reason anyway - what is that all about.
The first thing Rey does in the film is beat 3 men at fighting, all at once, something even Tyson Fury would be pushed to accomplish. She then defeats Fin at unarmed combat. Apart from being a powerfully built young man, Fin is a trained, front line infantry soldier. Of all the fantasies presented in the film, this was the least believable. Distracting nonsense injected for political reasons.
Also Rey is a better at flying the Millennium Falcon that Han, despite the fact that Han has his own MF, has been flying it for 35 years and used it to blowup 2 death stars. After zero experience, she is a better electronics engineer than Chewbacca, a better swordman than Kylo, has greater Jedi powers than Yoda, is a crack shot with a blaster, an expert climber, multilingual, can talk to robots, is a visionary, ...and so on. With this sort of unchallenged supreme character, it becomes difficult to construct a meaningful plot due to lack of danger and challenge. I know it is meant to inspire little girls in the audience, which is nice, but isn't it setting rather an unrealistically high standard for them too?
I agree Kylo is not good enough to be evil, he's too good looking, at least when Anakin was pre-dark side that kinda made sense.
Han will not be back, the reason he had a much bigger pay day than Luke and Liea was that he wasn't coming back for the later films, Harrison made it clear Hans should have died in the earlier films.
As others have said it's taken the best bits of the original trilogy, added some good comedic moments (Han and Chewie) and resulted in given the die hards what they wanted, and it's managed to do enough to get a new generation hooked on the films againOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Depends, he looked pretty young and still learning his way around using the force, as well as acquiring the discipline to wield it effectively, no matter how powerful he was. They could've thrown in some visible corruption over and above the deathly palour, though.Comment

It's the age old bollux of making a story good vs evil.

life aint like that. its all about choices and fine lines(\__/)

Well sure, it's just a plot device, but the choices the Sith make are meant to be driven by extremes of anger, hatred etc. I guess if people were expecting Emperor or Darth Vader levels of ugly they would come out disappointed, but I don't see the harm in a sexy villain. The stuff written on the Dark Side suggests the corruption can be far subtler, e.g. affecting the colour of the irises.Last edited by Zero Liability; 31 December 2015, 00:00.Comment

well, I understand how anger and hatred can come about. often from injustice
but then I think of the anti-bodies killing a disease in the body.
and that's what its all normally about, not right wrong or injustice
just things doing what things have got to do(\__/)
