Thirty years after the Galactic Civil War, the First Order has risen from the fallen Galactic Empire and seeks to eliminate the New Republic. The Resistance, backed by the Republic and led by General Leia Organa, opposes the First Order. Leia searches for her brother, Luke Skywalker, who has gone missing.

[@shotarohidari7417]

What I would suggest to get passed the copywrites: 1. Flip the video so it is a mirror image 2. Mute the music (when it comes to Star Wars the one thing that seems to stop man reacter is the music) or st the very least change the audio pitch 3. If you put a watermark or logo on the video it will often stop the droid army from recognizing the video.

[@acwolf92]

I highly recommend the mandalorian after the sequel trilogy.

[@thecollectordude9956]

It was actually Harrison Ford's wish that his character died. He asked to die in the original trilogy as well so he finally got his wish.

[@robhax]

Yep. He didn't want to survive the carbon freezing. I'm pretty sure his coming back was due to Abrams providing "closure" to his character.

[@Olochgu]

@@robhax I think the massive paycheck didn't hurt either. He never much cared for Star Wars, unlike Carrie and Mark.

[@leperwolf7287]

If you saw him in any interviews Harrison Ford was (pardon the reference) giddy as a school boy.

[@mathematics5573]

Philip Vazquez Harrison Ford is a cynic. that is one thing i didn't like about The force awakens. They finally got their 1983 wish

He also always said that it's not that he doesn't want to play him and he just wants Han to die, he always said he wanted Han to die but only if it would give a bigger impact on other characters, it would have meaning. Spoiler But we have to acknowledge that death of Han was not written because Harrison asked for it. It was definitely said that they kill off one character from original trio per film. That's why they killed Luke and Leia next, and as they said TFA is Han's film, TLJ Luke's and 9 was supposed to be Leia's in which they would probably just kill her off as well

[@Joshu_Y]

"There were some things I was hoping to get some more clarity on..." Welcome to the club...

[@28starwarsfan]

Leia hugs Rey. Mary: How do they know each other? Do they? Nope. The filmmakers just want you to focus on the main character, kind of forgetting continuity. Did you notice how Leia just walked past Chewy, who is the one she should be hugging?

[@techno639]

JJ actually addressed this mistake, he himself admitted he would go back and fix this accident. He wanted to make it so that Chewie was focused on Finn being okay as he was getting driven away by the medical crew that he didn't notice Leia. However the way they shot it made it so that Chewie was far behind them and Leia was right there which was weird. Maybe they'll fix this in an upcoming special edition lol

If you look at Adam Driver’s subtle acting after he killed Han, his face showed horror and regret quickly once he realized what he did that is why he had to keep hitting his injured side to draw up the pain and anger to fight Finn and Rey

[@michaelbastraw1493]

There are Clone Stormtroopers. All are human. Best. Leo.

[@Thundarr100]

Actually I believe that the child stealing and training is from the Star Wars EU. I recall reading in a book on the various Star Wars characters and species that Stormtroopers were forced into military service at a very young age and mentally conditioned to be absolutely ruthless. Which is why they had no trouble doing things like massacring jawas and murdering Luke's aunt & uncle in the first movie just for having seen the two missing droids. Heck, if Luke had done as his uncle had asked and had R2-D2's memory wiped The Empire's problems would have been solved (no more Death Star plans). While Disney has made the monumentally stupid decision to make the EU non-canon, they still pilfer it for inspiration for their own projects.

[@doctorshnizzle]

[@jejohnson1982]

I still say if Disney would have left it alone and let JJ just process out his vision and idea of the three movies, it might have actually been good. Because he basically had to scramble and cram stuff in the third movie, while trying to save it at the same time. An impossible task.

[@rahulmenon9530]

@@jejohnson1982 exactly

[@Illjwamh]

@@jejohnson1982 I disagree. JJ is great at starting stories but horrible at finishing them. He was a terrible choice to do ep. IX. That being said, the very concept of making them one at a time without an overarching plan from the start was also a terrible idea, so it almost doesn't even matter who made the last one; it was doomed from the beginning.

[@romero329]

This reaction is amazing for so many reasons. Mary is asking all the questions everyone was asking in 2015 and she's not a "fanboy" or "fueled by nostalgia", but she can recognize that the movie established plot threads and then left them unresolved.

[@Lucasaurios]

@@lashier13 A set of rules in a magical universe is priority #1 in something like star wars, the original trilogy focused on telling the main story while establishing relevant magic and technology rules in the universe alongside it. The prequels focused on expanding that magic and technology system, that is why people like it so much now, there are a few missteps along the way but its pretty ironed out now and it was before the sequels were made. Unlike midiclorians with unnecessary explanation of things in the universe, the sequels directly contradict nearly everything that has been set up since a new hope came out, effectively breaking the universe for anyone who gives a damn. A good example is having a realistic ww2 movie and then halfway through a character starts flying and shoots lazer eyes at hitler and wins the day. The universe had and needs rules and thats a good thing.

[@jjfragglerock5020]

You voiced so many of the same questions (and assumptions) fans had when the film came out. And you picked up on probably the biggest issue - how was Rey able to do all of those things? In the originals, we constantly saw Luke failing, learning, etc leading to the big payoff in Jedi seeing him fully trained. Here, there wasn't any real drama or setup with her. Had the film executed some of those fundamentals better, the series as a whole would've benefited.

[@Cenindo]

I believe the novelizations have suggested that Rey somehow inadvertently "downloaded" knowledge of the Force from Kylo when their minds touched during the interrogation scene. (She used the Force for the first time shortly after that, mindtricking the stormtrooper into freeing her.) But if that is the explanation, it should have been included in the movie itself. It could actually have set up a great plot-point -- Rey suddenly has all these powers that she hasn't really "earned", and she may moreover have been tainted since she derives her knowledge from a man who had fallen to the dark side. Will she even be able to tell the light from the dark, when she is suddenly thrust into the "larger world" Obi-Wan once spoke of? But alas, they didn't think of that. We are just left with an over-powered Rey and no explanations, and they never made the threat of her going dark feel real.

[@owenmenning3878]

I agree TRoS is garbage, but Anakin was kinda the same as Rey in terms of power. Plus, Rey never beats Kylo Ren in a fight, the first time was bc Ren was trying to convert her and he was weak from Chewie's blaster(which had killed people earlier in the movie), and the 2nd time Leia interfered.

[@Richard_Ashton]

@@Cenindo I just assumed all of that about Rey and went forward.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

@@Cenindo well, they are a Dyad, I guess - so their gaining powers off each makes a bit of sense, I suppose.

[@Avenger85438]

Jedi training isn't about unlocking powers it's about understanding the force, we only see Luke train twice in the OT, deflecting bolts with Obi, by the next film he'd figured out how to pull his saber to him. Then he was with Yoda for what could only be a couple of days. He was doing stuff with the force but what was important was what they where telling him. Both made great progress just at slightly different speeds. If one really wants an explanation as to why here's one. She grew up knowing who the Jedi where, Luke didn't. Also unlike him she had to learn in the moment, she didn't have time to doubt as he did, it was do or die compared to his safe lessons. One of the reasons kids are taught by Jedi is because their more open minded, then adults are. Take those facts and apply them to Luke and Rey and their upbringings you'll see why there's a difference. Luke who had responsibility at the moisture farm had already began to perceive certain things as either impossible or possible yet he grew into a Jedt by RoTJ having overcome this limit from Empire. (Even at that point he still managed to put up a good fight with Vader) Rey being on her own, thus more minded, though less certain of herself until she had no choice but to try after she was already overwhelmed by just brushing against the Force, which ia why she tried to run at first. Going to Luke helped her overcome her obstacles just as he overcome his. They where just different kinds.

[@athens_1psvr31]

Rey didn’t have the doubt and fear that Luke had which hindered his force growth. She lived off of her instincts to survive in isolation.

The stormtroopers were always human. Remember the clones? Stormtroopers are just the next incarnation of clones but since a lot of the clones died in the war and the cloning facility didn’t exist anymore, the empire needed get more soldiers - hence taking children, as Finn, putting them in clone/stormtrooper outfits. And The First Order is just a new incarnation of the Empire pretty much

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

The Empire didn't kidnap kids and turn them into Stormtroopers. That started with the First Order. Most of the Imperial military (Stormtroopers included) was just recruited/conscripted from the worlds within the Empire, like a normal military.

Rae is what you call a mary sue. She’s just good at everything with no explanation

[@johnblackham3552]

Now, to be fair, it isn't the case that the Falcon was the first ship Rey flew-she says she'd flown before but never off-planet. It was just the first time flying that particular ship, though she was familiar with it already, having worked for Unkar Plutt (blobfish guy) as he modded it over the years. To be fair, both of those points are revealed in kind of rapid-fire lines of dialogue that are easy to miss.

[@johnblackham3552]

Come to think of it, she may have flown it years before ("it hasn't flown in years")-I want to say there was a canon story written a while ago where she rescues Unkar Plutt on Jakku and she might have flown the Falcon then. I can't remember.

"Vader would never have wanted his grandson to do this." Exactly, and it's never explained why Anakin, or any other Force Ghost didn't manifest to help him. They could've said Snoke/Sidious was using a dark side ability to prevent Force Ghosts from manifesting, but they never did. (Maybe it's explained in a novel or a comic, but it shouldn't have to be.)

[@ConnorDoubleYou]

The reason Luke was kept until the end of the movie was because every time the writer tried to incorporate him into the script, they felt he took the spotlight for the newer characters.

[@thescourgeofathousan]

Mary: “it’s the only thing that makes sense...” Everyone (even those who like the sequels): uhhh yeah don’t depend on it making too much sense. They really should have had the one screenwriter & director handle all three films.

The Falcon was not the first ship she'd ever flown. It comes quickly, but she does say that she had flown other ships, just not that one.

After the fall of the Empire, the New Republic was formed and the First Order is the remnants of whatever is left of the Empire. Given, Episode 7 takes place 30 years after the end of Episode 6 so a lot has happened between that time period we still don’t know about

[@brendanoconnor1550]

The moment Kylo said “I know what I have to do. But I don’t know if I have the strength to do it.” I knew he meant killing Han. Earlier he worried about being ‘called to the Light’ so he saw this as a test to stay true to the Dark Side. Definitely messed up

[@sspdirect02]

By killing Han, Ben hoped that he would be free of the light. It dose the exact opposite. Rey on the other hand was more at risk of turning to the dark side because of who she’s related to.

[@carlosmiguel-ld4rz]

Later he repeats the same sentence, in a different context - Last movie

[@5calambres]

Thats not what he ment. He knew he had to get rid of the mask and his corupted saber. So he wanted Han to take it. But changed his mind. In the last movie he did not had the same seducting options anymore so he could do what he had to do. I heard that in a interview with Adam Driver.

Stormtroopers originally were human clones, not robots (cloned from Jango Fett, father of Boba Fett, as shown in Episode II). This film takes the position that by the time of the First Order (decades later), they were children taken and groomed into stormtroopers.

[@28starwarsfan]

You bring up some good arguments about Rey being so good at everything--a lot of people asked this when the film came out. I saw that there was enough to explain some of it, but I just held off, hoping the next film would elaborate on it, mostly because how powerful she was in the Force. I mean, it's well established that training and years of practice are needed in the series--Anakin, the "chosen one," with the really high medichlorian (however you spell it) count, needed to train for a long time. Rey just picks it up like that. So I figured there would be an in universe, in story explanation the trilogy would unveil.

[@PeglegSailor]

I like the sequels, I had the originals on VHS as a kid and saw the prequels in theatres as a kid and let’s be honest the prequels got so much hate when they first came out that nearly ruined/killed some of the actors so I don’t really pay much attention to sequel hate considering the prequels are liked now, I personally like all the movies but it’s obviously that’s not everyone’s take on all of them

[@robhax]

I've determined it's dependent upon when you grew up, for the most part. While there are those that love them all, you can almost determine when a fan grew up. If you loved the Originals, but hated the Prequels... you were born in the 80s - probably mid to early - or prior. If you loved the Prequels but hated the Sequels, you were born in the late 80s, 2000s. In about 10 years, there will be a bunch of people that are fans of the Sequels... It almost depends on which ones you grew up with.

Rey had piloted ships before. She told Finn that she'd just never piloted one into space. Also, you mentioned that Luke isn't supposed to have children because he's a Jedi. That is certainly the way the Jedi Order were operating in Anakin's time, but that Order was destroyed, and I think we can assume most of the records about it were destroyed in the Emperor's purge of the Jedi as well. We don't have any indication from the movies about whether Obi Wan or Yoda ever told Luke that the Jedi were supposed to avoid attachments. We also don't know whether avoiding attachments has always been a Jedi rule or if it was invented somewhere along the way.

The Falcon is not the first ship she’s ever flown, she said she’s flown ships before but never left the planet. You saw her say that. 7:13 And you saw she knew how to fight with a staff. While not exactly the same as a saber, she would have an easier time than someone with no weapon combat training at all.

[@Cenindo]

She makes a lot of "stabbing" movements with the lightsaber, which makes sense if she is actually transferring well-rehearsed movements from the staff.

[@peterlewis2178]

Finally, someone else who thought the movie was setting Rey up to be Luke's daughter. I came out of the theatre thinking "Well, it's kind of obvious that Rey is Luke's daughter, but I don't mind that". But then I was surprised that not everyone had that same impression. I mean, Rey's a natural pilot, and the force is unusually strong with her, just like Anakin. Then there's that whole lightsaber montage, and Maz saying that the lightsaber was Anakin's, then Luke's, and now it calls to her. Though I did think that the metal hand on R2D2 was Anakin's, since Luke's fake hand wasn't metal in the original trilogy, but I see now that that changed for some reason in this movie.
