” Oh really, you’re cold? ” Gets me every time XD
Huh, that’s nice I suppose. I’ve only been able to find one HD clip of TFA so far. Now, granted, my HD clip is over two hours long….

Don’t be jelly now.
We aren’t jealous of your piracy. Trust that.
That’s not how the Force works!
That last scene has to be my favorite sequence of the movie.
So many good scenes. This movie is just one good scene after another. Literally the only thing I can gripe about is that it’s very similar to ANH and I didn’t really feel much of a Kylo-Han connection. I REALLY wish that Kylo-Falcon scene would have been kept in.
Yep, since we never saw any of their relationship, had no idea that Ben even existed, and certainly never saw their falling out, it would have been useful to give us some more of Kylo thinking about his dad.
I think maybe if Kylo and Han had some sort of contact before SB, even really minimal stuff, it would have paid off a lot more emotionally. My only real negative about the film.
I personally didn’t even mind the similarities of mechanics, I had a hard time with the plot holes.
I absolutely love Chewie’s head nod when he is told that he screwed Kanjiklub TWICE. It’s those little details I love.
And how excited Daisy is to tell Han that she bypassed the compressor and he’s just like…huh. Abrams really did a fantastic job in directing this movie.
And the sound (of calm ship) after she bypassed the compressor. 😛 Those details drive me crazy. Fantastic job indeed!
Yep, that moment is 99.99% pure awesome.
what’s with the 0.01% that isn’t awesome?
Mr. Crankypants
Don’t forget Snark.
That cinematography breaths 100% pure Star Wars
Excited to get the movie on Blu “Rey”. But there is one thing I have never understood. It occurs just after the second clip above. After Rey tells Han that she bypassed the compressor, he walks off and Rey gets this really weird look on her face. I have never understood that weird look. Anyone got an explanation? Is it because Han is not as impressed as she thought he would be?
Yes
Just watched the film again last night – ALL of the technical stuff about the Falcon is terrible. Han walking out of the cockpit to complain about the “Moof Milker” (he seems to be working up a great pissed off with “HEY!!!”, then is just way casual walking back into the hold), “Too much stress on the hyperdrive” (hyuk, hyuk – we said it together!), “I bypassed the compressor” – it’s all so stilted, awkward and awful, and does not get any easier with successive viewings I find.
It’s just you.
That is objectively false.
There is no objectivity in opinion, Cranky. Learn this.
That “wooshing” you hear is the sound of yet another joke going right over your head.

Nothing goes over MY head; I would catch it.
😀
Who cares about technical jargon? If you want tech jargon you’re watching the wrong “Star —-” franchise. Star Wars is about mythology, not technical crap.
If the technical stuff about the Falcon is the worst part for you, then I think the film did a pretty good job.
Actually the whole film has been released online by some pirate, ripped from the bluray 🙁
But they screwed up some of the encoding – resolution and bitrate is solid, but the reds look awfully weird. I mean…so I’ve heard.
Doo dee doo, dum dee dum……
I have no problem with pirates. I can see the movie all around the internet in different sizes. But I would like that those downloading it will buy a dvd or bluray copy. I can perfectly understand that someone is expecting his copy in 3 weeks from amazon and is not strong enough to wait and download the movie today…..but still pays for the ordered copy….
I’m in France and I can’t download stuff because some months ago I received a “menacing” e-mail for having downloaded an .mp3 file that was tracked by a copyright agency here. I would be the first to download the film if I could, but definitely I would buy the bluray as well.
Believe me, the movie is everywhere. I can’t say I’m happy about that. Not that I’m a patient person, I’m not. It’s Star Wars! And my copy from amazon.es will not arrive soon enough. I usually buy the original bluray but never use it, because the digital copy is so easy and fast to use. But I also like those colorful boxes :-). I understand here in Europe almost everyone downloads because it’s so easy to do it with no real consequences…..
Yeah… I’m Spaniard and have no problems when I’m back home to download whatever, but in France you have a kind of “surveilling agency” that sends you three notifications, and the third one implies money hehe. Well… I received the first notification and found it an opportunity to just not download stuff anymore and try to do things right, but it’s annoying when concerning films that are not released in Europe at all (some indie films from USA or Asia). For TFA I think I’ll be able to wait… Buenos días!
pues ya tenia yo sospechas por eso de “Catala”, jeje. Yo me lo bajaria de inmediato, pero estoyde vacaciones en Eslovaquia del Este teniendo internet prepagado y pocos gigas para la semana, pero hoy voy a visitar a familiares y aprovechare la ocasion, que tres semanas son muchas semanas…..en Chequia tampoco ocurre nada, aqui te multan solo si pirateas algo para ganar dinero con venderlo a otras personas, no si te lo bajas para uso domestico. Por no decir que cuando compras un dvd, disco duro, cualquier tipo de memoria, una tele, vamos, lo que sea, que siempre pagas un tanto por ciento a liga del copyright que ahora no se como se llama, por si acaso en un futuro te bajas algo…tengo un amigo en Eeuu que cuando le dije que le enviare dvds con pelis me pidio horrorizado que no lo haga, que alli se toman estas cosas muy en serio, sin embargo su mujer europea no tiene ningun problema con el tema
Stop speaking Mexican! I don’t understand….
you’re so funny, Tud 🙂 but if you are american, I understand you people don’t speak more then one language :-:-) it’s different here in Europe. I had russian and german in elementary, the same plus english in highschool and still hadn’t enough. Mexican 🙂
Oh, yeah, my order still stands. I just know Amazon.ca won’t get the thing delivered until 2-3 weeks after the street date.
the problem is that only a few will do that. Me? I will wait till my bluray arrives
I don’t see that as a problem…. It’s the right thing to do.
Downloading the movie illegally is the right thing to do?
My comment was in response to Clone11038
Oh.
To just steal the film?
No, to wait for your legal copy.
I have no knowledge of any such person! None at all! 😛
I want to see the battle of starkiller base
That’s for the Blu-ray.
and why the didn’t they have Han Solo say bastards when he was talking about Kanjikulb
I never heard any even minimal curses in Star Wars…
Would Hell be considered a curse?
A Clone Trooper said damn in TCW movie.
that isn’t exactly a curse word requiring censor….
True, but still….
I’m pretty sure R2 swears like a lumberjack.
Finn says ‘Damn it’ (Jakku TIE fighter chase scene) and ‘Hell no’ (SK Base)
I don’t even see those as curses…
lol.
Third greatest SW movie to grace us on Blu-Ray. Suck it fan boys
Noresolution – great name given you’re a TFA fan.
I don’t even know what you mean by that. It sounds shady though.
xD He’s referring to the fact that Force Awakens left so many questions unanswered, and thus unresolved.
To which I say, it’s called Episode VII.
>>>>EPISODE<<<<
Exactly.
Did you enjoy Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back? Those movies might have left an unanswered question or two. Or twenty.
Whatever….
these are getting me even more excited for the blu-ray!!
Tell that to Kanjiklub!
You know you can’t trust those little freaks.
Hey now, the haters said there are NO memorable lines. Stop acting like they are lol
what a bunch of moof milkers
Are there any rumors about when the 3D version will be out and if it will have bonus special features
According to the website, it’s coming out later in the year, but that’s it. It’ll probably have even more bonus features so that we’ll double dip.
I’ve seen the movie twice, and I never noticed that walkers on the surface of Starkiller base (3rd clip at 00:07).
Nice catch!
I only just noticed them during the second viewing. Not a big fan of their design from this far away… but it’s hard to replace the AT-ATs. Still I did like the AT-TEs.
Are they the walkers we see in the FO parade scene?
I think they are. Because their legs have the same spread look. Kind of like a water strider if you will.
Personally, I don’t think they’re really attempting to replace the AT-ATs. If anything, they’re replacing the TF’s spider droids.
What the heck, seriously, is the point of having all of those troops and equipment on Starkiller base? For instance, what’s going to happen after they’ve drained the power from their sun? Are they all planning to live in a lightless, frigid, dead planet? How?
And what do the walkers actually exist there for? For what purpose are they using them, as well as all the other military equipment?
Patrol.
Just in the odd case that Han Solo, Rey, Finn, and Chewie show up? Some good that did them…. 🙂
Just in the case of anything, but you do have a point.
The base can move. There are troops and weapons on it because it’s a base. Starkiller BASE. Sheesh.
I’d certainly like to think that the base can move, but it didn’t seem to be explained in the film, unless I missed it. Is there any more explanation in the books or comics?
Regarding the troops and weapons, and it being a base, yeah, I get it, but it still seemed a bit silly – all those troops vaporized without us even getting to see them in action.
Honestly, I think I’m still just a bit bitter about the whole Death Star 3 thing. I re-watched the movie last night and I loved it until the scene in the Resistance base where they’re all discussing Starkiller Base, and even they make fun of it basically being Death Star 3. At that point the movie lost me. Honestly, couldn’t they come up with something better? Even they don’t take it seriously.
The canon star map said that the base had an “origin point”. I don’t know how it moves, but it most certainly does.
Cool. That helps. Though even within the universe of Star Wars physics / logic I’m still having a hard time with it, and I have a feeling that’s not going to resolved.
For instance, does it travel at “normal” speeds or does it travel through hyperspace? I’m trying to picture an entire planet flying through hyperspace. Would it do so with all the troops remaining on the surface, or do they go underground? What happens to all the snow and trees? How do they navigate the thing? Thrusters?
Also, how the heck does Starkiller Base aim at its target, and from what distance? Is it normally stationary in space and moved by controlling some sort of thruster-like mechanism? Or is it in constant motion, perhaps an orbit around a star, like a normal planet, in which case do they then need to wait until it’s positioned perfectly to hit its intended target?
Anyway….. lots of questions about an imaginary universe. I love Star Wars – always have and always will – and enjoyed The Force Awakens. I just wish they hadn’t been so sloppy about the whole Starkiller Base thing. Surely they could have come up with something more compelling, or at least a better explanation for it.
Okay, time to make some food. Enjoy the day/night wherever you are.
Well, there’s this: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Starkiller_Base
Though really, one shouldn’t have to rely on external information in order for a film to make basic sense. It’s true that you and I are Star Wars super-fans – and we do things like read articles on Wookiepedia – but we can’t reasonably expect most people to do so.
I wouldn’t think aout it too much. I don’t really know how the DS moves either.
Thinking about it nonstop is pretty much all I’ve done since I saw The Force Awakens for the first time…..
Just in case you’re still thinking about it too, here’s a good exploration: http://hackaday.com/2015/12/22/the-scientific-implausibility-of-starkiller-base/
Why does the Kanjiklub member’s voice sound modulated?
And is he speaking is native [Earth] language?
There are two Indonesian actors in that sequence, and one of them is speaking Bahasa Indonesian.
Possibly some sort of electrolarynx device to give him character. Maybe he got his throat slashed at some point in his pirate career.
Visual Guide says he only speaks Huttese and was a former Hutt slave. I wish we saw more of the underworld in this one, It was one of the few concepts new to the saga in this though it’s been done before in KOTOR.
And in TCW.
True though the game predates it by a few years. I also want to see space pirates in this trilogy too which haven’t really been touched on much.
“I bypassed the compressor!”
– Best / Most Adorable line in the movie.
agree!@
Agreed!
“tell that to kanjiklub”
now that I think about it, TFA is basicly the story of an X-wing pilot fangirl and a 501st cosplayer who escape their fanbases to follow Han solo…
LOL
The story of my life….
I just hope Disney releases TFA and the original trilogy in brillant 4k
wish they could. however, fox still owns the original film (a.k.a. episode iv)…
“Have I ever failed to deliver for you guys?”
“YES.”
“Twice!”
*Chewie nods*
This movie may have dropped a ball here or there, but you gotta admit, they got Han and Chewie’s interaction SPOT ON, that alone is worth watching the movie right now.
So refreshing to see people in Star Wars acting like actual people again.
No PT bashing is allowed.
By who?
Well, they were all quite… robotic in the PT…
I disagree. How am I supposed to relate to them if they don’t talk about their disdain for sand?
The new Chewie nails it. I like how he shakes while looking around in the snow clip. It’s really good.
That’s not the new Chewie. That is Peter Mayhew. The new guy was a stunt double and did the action scenes because Peter has leg issues.
That’s an action scene. Whenever Chewie is standing, is an action scene, because Mayhew can’t be standing without his stick. Besides, you can see in the eyes that he’s not Mayhew.
Bro don’t show me a shot of the new guy to make your point. Peter does stand and without a stick. This guy was a stunt double. So he is in the wide shots and running shots. The re-actions your discussing in this thread are close ups as well and are Peter. I am not only friends of Peters but know people on the crew that worked on TFA.
All he’s saying is that with Mr. Mayhew, “stunts” are pretty much anything that’s not walking at a reasonably slow place. Climbing is a stunt. Running is a stunt. Standing for more than a few minutes is a stunt. Get over it.
That’s Joonas Suotamo. He has the mad skillz.
Hey guys maybe someone has an answer to this: I remember a lot of buzz following an actress officially confirmed in TFA, it was a young, dark skinned girl with curly hair. I just thought about it today and I don’t find who’s playing.
Maisie Richardson-Sellers? She played Korr Sella, a part which I think was originally bigger but had to be cut down. I think I heard that she might get a deleted scene on the DVD?
Yeah she has a scene with Leia about informing the republic about the first order. She is one of the ones seeing the blast from Star Killer just before they all die. It would have added a bit more weight and understanding of the relationship between the republic and the resistance… Unless I’ve got my characters mixed up.
Yeah, it’s in the book. Leia is talking to Korr about going to the Senate to address them and ask for the Republic fleet. Leia says she must send her because she would be at risk of an assassination attempt.
Yeah you virtually have no idea which system they are blowing up, and don’t really care about it much..it wouldn’t have taken much to set it up
No, you’re right. She played Korr Sella, Leia’s representative in the Senate. Her scenes were added back into the novelization.
Thumbs up! HER! I hate this on StarWars productions. At a certain moment (specially when seeing the photo of BadRobot with a dark skinned woman reading the script) we imagined plenty of possibilities about her role, most of them quite interesting and important. It’s kinda disapointing what her participation is after all.
Just curious… Why does her not appearing have to be attributed to race? Can’t we give the benefit of the doubt?
Wh… What? Did I say that? I’ve used the dark skinned adjective because it was what made people think the twitter pic was her (no face on it). I don’t know where you got that conclusion Justyn.
Just a question Dani. Your statement did make it sound like this is a norm for a Star Wars production; to cut the scenes of a “Dark Skinned Woman” because that’s what she was. I realize from your second statement that was not your intent, but some may construe it that way.
So what are those walkers on Starkiller base? Never noticed those till now nor saw them mentioned in any of the books.
They don’t even have names. Weird.
Look like AT-MT’s from the old EU which I always loved or Tekties in mechanized form.
