Went and saw The Force Awakens.
Was very happy with it. A return to the old format...simple narrative, lots of blasters, weird aliens and the like. Thought Ren and Ray were both very well cast. How interesting does Ren's mentor look? I wonder if he is that big or if he is Yoda's size.
What was your best scene?
Mine was when the resistance showed up during the one fight and Fin watches from the ground as the resistance pilot from the beginning of the movie shoots about 10 baddie crafts down in as many seconds.

Right up there Mr Plum with Empire Strikes Back I reckon ,no token black dude or wimmens good new characters .But then again I dont get the hate for Jar jar and the Gungans ! I reckon the Gungan battle vs the droid army was pretty groovy too .Only slight beatch I have is that the light sabre duels were not as lurvely as say Yoda vs Count Dooku [ that could have ended badly ,like a sock-puppet on meth hahahaha] but we have seen it twice and going back for more !That mentor dude I thought prolly teeny weeny like a beenbrain thats been in a cold shower too long [ after seeing a Victorias secret ad maybe ] ,super tiny then !Ever notice how in all the original movies they used replica German weapons like an MG42 for the stormtroopers [ appropriately enough ] and a mauser machine pistol for Solo's blaster with very little modifying .

Totally agree on Dukoo vs Yoda. Though my favorite saber battle was General Grievous Vs The trainspotter. Liked the concept of General Grievous - trans-biological gone mad, haha the worm in the machine. It makes sense that they would model the dark side badies after the Nazis. Palpatine's exploits remind me very much of a certain Mr Bush haha. I think we are gonna have Luke Vs Ren's mentor in the next episode. The battle you are talking about, I dunno, it was a bit too soft though. Light colors and all the bubbles and bright scenery. Not my favorite. Another three years or so for the next episode. Dammit!!!

I thought the movie was pretty good. Kylo Ren is funny when he keeps losing his temper. Although how did some girl with no training beat him with a light Saber?Kylo Ren is probably going to worse as the movie goes on- so hopefully he gets pis#ed off.

One of my boys started laughing when he saw Kylo Ren sans helmet ,he said he looked like some Goth kid who was really p!ssed at Mum and Dad !Solo looked pretty good for an old dude ,Leia looked ok except for the weird upper lip thingy .I think the wee girly had some mentoring from Max von Sydow at the start of the movie .
