wait what do you mean by hints you got? you already saw the scenes?
The answer to your question is STILL LUKE. 😀
Seriously, parallel training sequence would be awesome not just because we haven’t saw the training of Dark Side users, but because we don’t know how LUKE’S training differs from the old Jedi. And more Poe and Finn – let’s have that buddy cop/Resistance action comedy in Star Wars.
Usually, I’m listening the podcast while working – I work online and you are a good background. XD
Kai can’t do Russian either. I suppose it’s Trevor’s turn now, lol.
You know you don’t count, right, Zloi?
Lol, but I’m not Russian either
I know, but you live there, c’mon. 🙂
It’s true … all of it!
Hey Lady…i’m NOT doing Russian. I’m sure it’d be a big laugh! 🙂
That’s the whole point. 😉
I would prefer some things keep mystery – like the dark side training. I don´t need to know everything.
I want to see the knights of ren and the development of Kylo and hopefully see a knew brand of dark side users or an evolved version of the Sith. As for where I listen to the podcast… usually while I’m browsing or lunch break at work.
I’m most excited to see Rey get her ass handed to her so we can flick the Vs at the Mary Sue argument and so we can have balance to the trilogy before episode 9.
I listen to the podcast in bed as I live in the UK.
BTW Rey is awesome.
I am looking forward to Benicio del Toro’s character because he’s one of my favorite actors working today.
I listen to the podcast while playing star wars KOTOR and Battlefront 2
I’m looking forward to seeing Kylo Ren struggle between the dark side and the light during his Sith training with Snoke by showing flashbacks to his training under Luke, thus as if he’s erasing old memories of his past life.
I find myself listening to the podcasts before I go to bed because I need to end everyday with Star Wars.
If you want to find a clue to Finn POSSIBLY being force sensitive (I think he could be) watch the scene after Finn and Rey say goodbye at Maz Kanata’s castle and Finn is about to board the ship with the two outer rim pirates. This is when starkiller base fires and destroys the new republic. In the scene Finn hears people screaming in the distance as if through the force he hears the people being destroyed in the Hosnian System. The screams he hears and the screams occurring while the planets are blowing up are very similar. I’ve seen the movie 4 times and I’ve checked to see if whether it was the people on that same planet with him. However they show the people outside the castle quietly and sadly just staring up watching the planets be destroyed. Thus not showing the screams as theirs. This scene makes me believe he COULD BR force sensitive.
They need a Resistance starfigther video game in the vein of X-Wing/Rogue Squadron/Battle For Naboo etc.
This is undoubtedly the best comment on Episode 7 that I have read:
http://thefederalist.com/2015/12/21/how-to-fix-the-force-awakens-with-one-simple-trick/
It is not a bad movie, but with the simple plot modifications suggested in this little article, it could have been so much better.
I really want episode VIII to begin a year and a bit into the future. Some time has passed. Rey has received a significant amount of training from Luke, both their backstories are discussed in between her final bouts of training, where the is she Luke’s daughter question is finally answered. I really don’t want to know the first bit of dialogue discussed between Rey and Luke that would have happened at the end of The Force Awakens. There is no need for this, as I believe it would lessen the emotional impact of the previous movie’s ending.
Usually I catch your podcast on my laptop just before heading to bed (I’m UK based).
for myself i am really hoping to see more of the knights of ren! also i listen to your podcast while im working at my desk!
