I wonder if JJ might have been throwing a little bone to Kevin Smith by having Finn be a sanitation specialist before donning the stormtrooper uniform. ETA: Kevin Smith is in the credits for providing "additional voices" which makes this even more likely. Quote HistoryQuoted:

In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms. ETA: Kevin Smith is in the credits for providing "additional voices" which makes this even more likely. I don't know if it's still cannon, but in the EU the death star was actually built by imprisoned wookies I believe |

Did the Command Shuttle leave the cantina before the X-Wings showed up? Because they should have shot on the shit out of this if it was on the ground:

Give him time...............If you remember, Vader ( as portrayed in the Phantom Menace and onward) went from a little whiny kid, to a whiny teenager, to an adult with rage issues after Palpatine tells him he kills Padme..........I'd suspect that Ren will develop over time into a purely evil character with the same disregard for life that Vader had Quote HistoryQuoted:

Casting the new Vader as a skinny goth dude who breaks computers when angry just seemed poor. The real Vader was big, with armor, and killed people. This new little punk just throws a temper tantrum and breaks toys. Pretty much all the new heroes seemed like crap, like they were kids trying to copy mommy and daddy. Sadly it's a good reflection of modern society. My generation sucks. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile The one think I liked was the similarities between Ren and vader... I think Ren has potential as a bad guy, and I also like the ren/ big sith guy interactions. .. you get the vader/ emperor vibe...you know that the emperor wanted Luke as an apprentice over vader, And you get that same vibe with the new big bad wanting the girl brought to him... |

He probably needed to fool facial recognition software to dodge the department of empire security. Peter Mayhew had to have knee replacements a year or two ago, I remember the big fan fundraiser to help him pay for it. Reportedly, they had a stunt double for all of the movement scenes, and just used Mayhew for the close-ups of the mannerisms. |

I just assumed that she was talking about her adoptive mother and Bail Organa never told Leia she was adopted. Then Bail's wife (Leia's adoptive mother) dies when Leia was still young. |

Want to know how good this movie is?
Mrs. Undefined refused to watch Star Wars for years and years. (Yes, I married an anti-Star Wars trekkie). She has never seen the entire trilogy. Her company rented out a theater for opening day. She got tickets for us. She liked it so much she suggested I buy the other movies on Blu-Ray to introduce our three year old son to, and has since watched 4 out of 5* of them together as a family. We'll watch ROTJ tomorrow (she has seen half of it already the night before seeing TFA). Now she is suggesting that we take our son to see TFA over the holidays, after he see's ROTJ. TFA did the impossible. It turned my wife into a Star Wars fan. It's not that she was anti Star Wars all the time.... she did dress up as Princess Leia for our son's first Halloween (he went as Vader), and she did let me play the Imperial Death March in the delivery room when our son was being born, but otherwise she wasn't a fan until now. 
*We don't watch Episode I in this household. Standards, we have them. |
