Star Wars Force Awakens Spoiler Slumber Party!

[Gorn Captain]

One of my oldest friends is a senior engineer at Disney.

He said he fell asleep several times during the movie.

Just how "senior" is he?

[Gorn Captain]

Even though some of the humor in Force was a bit much at times, it still worked.
I disliked Kylo Ren before seeing the movie, but now his character (confused young man, looking for his identity) makes sense. Even the look of his helmet fits well. Ren's tantrums may seem comical at first, and not right for a SW movie, but they are normal human behavior, so why wouldn't they be used in the movie?
Sometimes our need to analyze everything gets in the way of just having a good time and enjoying what we do get.

just enjoy the ride people, it's Star Wars, not War and Peace. I loved it and plan on seeing it again this week, maybe more than once. getting to see Han and Chewie in action again was awesome and worth seeing the movie in and of itself. the internet age of over analyzing everything gets old

[Gorn Captain]

I enjoyed it that Chewie got so much action, instead of just "walking carpet" remarks. To me, he's captain of the Falcon now.
I do have the feeling we might see Lando aboard again...

[Nostalgiabuff]

would be cool to see Lando back in action but Billy Dee is almost eighty so I don't know how much action he would be doing

46. He also has Crohn's disease, twin four year old girls, and works long hours, so he generally falls asleep at most movies.

I have Crohn's disease as well, luckily, it's very mild though. I can see how one with a severed condition might not enjoyed sitting still for more than two hours watching a movie.

He's only five years older than Ford. I'm sure Mr Williams would jump at the chance for at least a cameo.

[Nostalgiabuff]

yes, only five years in age, but not even close in terms of physical shape. Harrison ford has kept in shape all these years. I think Billy Dee drank too many colt 45's, LOL

[Hector]

If Lando comes back, his ship should have the name Colt in it, and he needs to have some kind of easy on the eyes female alien sidekick.

[Nostalgiabuff]

they will probably bring him back in the next movie. I had been thinking that all along, he only came into the picture in Empire, so they will bring him back in the second of this trilogy. maybe he will be running a retirement colony and scamming all the rich elderly people

^ I think those sort of cameos are essential in films like this.

Amongst the many, many things wrong with the (British) The Avengers film was the absence of Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee, whose voiceover hardly counted. You could see that the role Eileen Atkins ended up with was meant for Rigg.

^^you are absolutely correct. I am hoping they bring back Dennis Lawson as Wedge, at least for a cameo. he made it through all 3 movies against the Empire, he deserves a spot in the resistance leadership

He was offered an appearance in Force Awakens, but he declined it. I doubt they would offer him anything further.
