    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Jurassic World is counting China. TFA doesn't open in China till the 9th. Of course with a Female Lead and Darth Daquan as her boyfriend it might not do too well in China.

    Vader was pretty snarky about it few times too. "Apology accepted, Captain Neeta." Vader is just a superior badass on multiple levels. He bags a fucking queen that's like 10 years older than him and knocks her up without the entire Jedi order and the imperial senate figuring out who crushed...

    Hayden did great considering how much worse it could've been. At least he didn't turn out as badly as the pod-racing young Anakin, who ended up in Prison after failing to force-levitate a tree.

    They only had the brief talking scene in the hallway and their parts weren't much longer in the novelization either. I think they had like 30 secs of screen time and you can barely see the third dude: It was more about JJ being a giant gay for The Raid and offered the leads a cameo in...

    I didn't realize all three of The Raid's main stars were in the movie until I saw the trailer for The Raid 3. I knew they had the long-haired badass (playing Kasu Leesh) and I barely recognized the main Raid good guy. I don't remember the third dude tho.

    Yeah there's a long setup for King Prana, the guy Han was delivering the Rathtars to. Basically King Prana and Han's investors are set up as the next Jabba side-story. But King Prana got mentioned like once by Han and all the other stuff pretty much got cut.

    Do the math on rubber band tech to get a kilogram into LEO. They should do an X Prize thing for that.

    I suppose they could've gone the other way and drove down the costs of a real disposable rocket. If they engineered a booster to use the cheapest mass producible materials possible, then it goes back to a sourcing and logistical exercise instead of an ambiguous reusability moonshot project.

    No they played that out in the movie... He was faking being retarded to stress out Luke into showing his impatience. Remember eventually Yoda sighs and drops the act and talks to obiwans ghost saying Luke is too impatient and cunty and shit.

    Snoke and Kylo had sensed her awakening before, but she became aware of her own abilities when Kylo Ren tried to pull the map from her mind during their interrogation. Kylo struggled to read her but she just shrugged it off, looked at him weird and turned the tables reading HIS mind and...

    Rey's theme is dopey but its not even the weakest one in the soundtrack. I bought the soundtrack the same time I bought the novelization so I could listen to it while reading and, well, it's prolly John Williams' worst. I mean, as iconic as Luke's theme was, the villian themes like the...

    Well yeah, but we'd still need to get the CNT ribbon into orbit... even if we manufacture the graphene in orbit we'd still have to get the carbon up there. If we find an asteroid with carbon somehow we'd still need rockets to get the means to haul it into orbit and then get the equipment up...

    Since that Walmart Toy leak was obviously legit, I guess her "Jedi Padawan" Toy with the outfit she wore at the end of the movie is gonna be her look for ep8 and beyond. Sans Luke's saber, obviously. Kind of a shame. I kinda liked her Bastilla look.

    Anyways... I can't imagine they'd let Luke go that easily. He's the central hero of the first trilogy, even if he does fade-out in battle like Obiwan it would be have to be under much more meaningful circumstances or it would feel too cheap.

    But if he was gonna do that he would've done it already. If he's still around it must be because he feels a lingering sense of duty to something or someone. Kinda like how Obiwan eventually surrendered his mortal form when he realized that he'd set Luke on his journey and his duty was...

    Her theme is prolly my least favorite in the whole soundtrack. It's better when they mix it into the stronger stuff but by itself it just kinda sounds like a gay little fairy background music in a JRPG.

    I didnt read the article, but the novel definitely has Snoke and Ren talking about Vader's weakness being the turning point that caused the fall of the Empire. There's a lot more than those ten actually. I mentioned earlier that since the parts of the book that WERE in the movie were...

    The thing is the whole "balance of the force" dillemma would support the notion that Luke is Rey's father because if she IS his daughter, he would feel compelled to protect her from him at any and all costs. And he would likewise have to protect himself from her if she was at risk of turning...

    Automated refurbishment during those 24 hours is even more incredible. The whole idea had always been a fleet of rockets and drone landing barges with a highly automated repair and refurbishment hubs to drive launch cycles down to weeks from months then down to days from weeks.

    Yeah that's pretty much the best way to kill self-driving consumer vehicles. If it ever comes out that the AI was designed to choose for "the greater good" over the life of its owner, that whole industry will never get beyond self-driving delivery trucks and into the consumer market.

    I thought that was a really clever part about how they wrote Kylo Ren.

    They cut out a lot of maz's scenes that were in the novelization. But since most of it was dialogue exposition instead of flashbacks, I could see why. I tend to agree with the concerns about her CGI tho.
