Reminder! If you've seen it, please PM me and let me know if Chewie dies.
One of my 6 year olds LOVES him and I'm not sure I want to take her if he dies.

I sent you a private message. Just reply back to it. Next time you get on, you should have a popup window telling you it's there.
But you'll read this after that, so...

Sorted with Leisher.
I'm sure everyone will have SOME issue with the movie - but it's a really good theater movie, and it's the first in a while that I want to see a movie in a theater twice.
All the new characters are the great. I wish it was a little longer and we had more of them.

Seriously, this movie made me feel like a kid again.

That's not an experience I want repeated.

That explains a lot.

I'm looking forward to seeing a SW movie in a theater with my son.
I felt the same way when Star Trek rebooted... I hope this experience is at least as good as that one.

It had some minor annoyances or flaws, but overall I loved it.

As long as it's better than the prequels I'll be happy.

Then you will be happy.

Liked it but there are a lot of things that don't seem logical. I mentioned them in the spoiler thread. We'll see.

I think the only marketing poster this movie needed was, "Star Wars Episode VII: Not Directed by George Lucas."

Records destroyed and catt's buddy explains everything that's wrong with it.

NdgT is still such a douche. All that shit was explained in the universe decades ago.

NdgT is a fucking idiot.
1) He's making a lot of assumptions about the sand on a planet he's never visited, and a robot he's never met.
2) Vacuum - It's a movie, dumb ass.
3) Under 12 parsecs: NgdT doesn't know why the distance would matter, so it assume it must be speed. But maybe there's something else special that allows this ship to travel shorter distances than others for the same run? Like an SUV that can go through a creek instead of a car driving around it.
4) Sun's energy: Clearly that's why they had that modulator thingy, dumb ass.
For a man who hasn't even discovered how to travel at lightspeed, he sure is full of himself.

There is that possibility, like maybe the Falcon can pick its way through an asteroid field or something where other ships have to go around. There could be an entire spin-off film: Han and Chewie: the Kessel Run.

Yeah, it's because of all the black holes. Normally you have to go way around, but Han in the Falcon is such a badass he picked his way through in under 12 parsecs.

I remember somewhere there's a thing about the Kessel Run being a smuggling route that swings past a black hole. The closer a ship can pass to the black hole the shorter the run. If so the boast may be more about durability and "inertial damping" (or whatever term they'd use to describe the ability to provide an artificial gravity field while shielding passengers from being smeared into paste during maneuvers) than speed.
EDIT: Yeah, like GORDON said.
