A single word taken out of context does not a no-attachment lecture make.

I emphasized a single word to refute your claim that nothing was said on-screen about it. I could also have included " ...

IMO, being sure that there was more offscreen is less concrete than not seeing it on-screen. Even in your quote, the link to the no-attachment rule is oblique at best

Y'know, I am better with this death than dropping a moon on him...

Exactly, or any other of a zillion silly ways to do it. And anything like "oh, he was still on Starkiller when it blew up&quo ...

Am I the only one who thought this movie sucked?

Pretty close, I think the positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are 95% or so. And some poor b@st@rd* got trollbombed for posting a negative review.

I disagree that Luke certainly got lectures about it offscreen certainly would have gotten lectures (plural), a single lecture, or necessarily even a quick Yodaism about it.

Luke: "But Han and ...

Maybe... it's because it's such a good film? As you say unless it's a musical the soundtrack should be telling the story in harmony with the film, not distracting attention. I might have noticed the T ...

2D for me. I find 3D distracting in most films. That said I am going to see an IMAX too. But I'm very glad my first time through was in 2D.

Also, I saw multiple people on DF or rpg.net complaining ...

If he did, did he ...

Thanks for posting this! It's great to have this all in one place. I have the TFA Visual Guide where a lot of the first page info came from, but I haven't had much of a chance to read it yet.

The question will probably be answered in at least a canon work if not a movie itself.

Episode VII: The Loss Leader Smile

I remembered all that stuff, but thanks.

On another board yesterday someone posted a link to this article, which seemed to me to be a nice summation of some of the NewEU details. I found it pretty helpful, because I haven't read any of the n ...

I love Rey!

You ain't wrong. They cast the right person, wrote her a great part, and she and all her scenes were IMO the best in the film. I'd have a crush on her just like I did for Leia... except ...

Ok, me being me and arguing just to be a devils advocate .... like I did with my wife with this same conversation.

Isn't it just as likely that she is Han and Liea's daughter ???? She was saying Ha ...

Watched it Saturday with my wife, and then Sunday with my wife and kids. I absolutely loved what I saw, and so did they. We're heading back to the theater after Christmas with even more family membe ...
