So i guess because my opinion is in the minority, its dumb somehow. Typical VN.

Ok well I thought the acting was bad. I realize that living up to Ford, Fisher and Hammil was going to be tough but I just personally feel there could have been better actors chosen.

Had I never seen the original Star Wars movies, then this movie would probably have been good. I just dont think it measures up. This movie was probably the worst in the franchise IMO.

There are many other problems I had with the movie. From Kylo Ren being a weak azz villian to a female hero who seems to be able to do everything from defeating siths with little training herself to fixing and flying the Millenium Falcon with ease.

These are just my opinions. I realize that most on here love the movie and thats cool. I did not like it and thought it was terrible. I also realize that offering an opinion thats opposite of the norm, means its stupid and just for attention according to VN. Flame away.

Carrie Fisher was awful in TFA. Its like her upper lip couldnt move or something and she had the voice of a Brazilian female.

You should see her in interviews, especially the Conan O'Bryan Star Wars episode. She has no filter now as well. It's quite refreshing really.

Read an interesting theory yesterday, sorry if already posted. What if Han actually ignited Ren's lightsaber? Ren kept saying he didn't know if he had the strength to do what he knew he had to do, and in a last-ditch effort to keep his son from completely embracing he dark, Han gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Not sure I completely buy it, but something to think about.

Don't buy it at all. In fact, it doesn't make any sense given what happens afterwards.

You can tell that Kylo ignited it.

Plus he says "Thank you", then is as evil afterwards as ever.

Also, that was Solo's plan, then he had to hope Chewy didn't get a headshot on Ren right after it, because then Ren is dead.

So yeah, the theory is pretty dumb IMHO. There is literally nothing on screen to support it. Some guy is seriously overthinking it.

UK Hits ‘Star Wars’ Producers With Criminal Charges Over Harrison Ford On-Set Accident

UK Hits ‘Star Wars’ Producers With Criminal Charges Over Harrison Ford On-Set Accident

A year and a half after Harrison Ford was hit by a hydraulic door on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the UK government said today they are going after a Disney subsidiary with criminal charges.

“HSE has today informed Foodles Production (UK) Ltd that it will be prosecuted over four alleged breaches of health and safety law,” said a spokesperson for the Health and Safety Executive. Foodles was the actual UK producer of the Disney blockbuster and therefore on the hook, so to speak, for the June 2014 accident that resulted in Ford breaking his leg among other injuries.

“By law, employers must take reasonable steps to protect workers – this is as true on a film set as a factory floor,” the UK government arm added of the incident at Pinewood Studios. “We have investigated thoroughly and believe that we have sufficient evidence to bring the case to court.”

“Cast and crew safety is always a top priority,” said Foodles on Thursday in response to the action. “We provided full cooperation during HSE’s investigation into the on-set accident that occurred in June 2014 and are disappointed in HSE’s decision.”

The twist is the UK government moved heaven, Death Star, tax credits and Earth to get the latest Star Wars movies to film in England. With Episode VIII already in production at Pinewood, the Force is not with someone here.

I'm so glad movies come to home video so much sooner. Back with the 90's Che it would be like 6 months or more after theaters.

I heard Universal was going to start doing 2-4 weeks in the theatres then straight to home video. They expect it to be an industry standard in the next 10 years.

I'm sure movies like Star Wars that have a longer shelf life will still get a full theatrical cycle.
