May the Force be with you, Always. Walk in Beauty.

i feel like any civilization who has developed Faster Than Light travel has also upped their battery game to like, fusion level.

I'm pretty sure there used to be a commercial for either Duracel or Energizer where during the fight in Episode 5 Vader's lightsaber goes out and he has to stop and check the battery.

I guess to put this thread back on course, after I was part in derailing it, I just finished watching it for a second time and I went with a different perspective. It was great hearing everyone's opinions on many different topics.

I will now give this Episode 8.5/10. The movie actually answers a lot of the questions posed here and elsewhere. There are only a couple questions I have, but I am sure the next movies will answer them. sets up the trilogy as well as paying homage to the past really well.

I guess it reflected the fourth movie quite a bit, but that is to be expected with the new characters to set up the trilogy. Why mess with a system that works? I think the next episode is probably going to be the best out of the trilogy, but that is only my prediction.

This won't be a trilogy though.

Also, yeah, it worked before,so let's just keep making the same movie?

That's strange logic.

Oh, from what I read it is. Are you suggesting there will be more than 3?

It's not the same movie though. It is the same structure/formula, but not the same movie, unless my definition of the word same if different than yours.

I felt they used the same formula to introduce the new characters while keeping the previous movies in view. THis was done to set up the next movies. The only thing I can think of at the moment would be to change Starkiller base and have a different tactic. However, that may have been too much for the movie, considering thye skipped quite a few years between episode 6 and 7 and needs to introduce the new characters.

I'm sure they'll make more, but this "chapter" of the saga will be confined to three.

I wonder how they will manage that and why they would bother.

As it is, they plan to release a new one every year, so in that, I would hope they would do away with the sense of a three part story, if only because I am hoping the next one doesnt follow Empire, because at that point I see little value in this story as a place to draw inspiration from in any further context.

As I already have 4,5,6.

Aside from that, Star Wars movies does poorly with there villains, the EU at least gave them three dimensions.
