Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) First Time Watching! | MOVIE REACTION

[@JB-nc7yk]

Fun fact: The Stormtrooper that Rey used the force on to release her was Daniel Craig (James Bond) doing a cameo. He was filming Spectre (2015) at the same studio at the same time so he asked one of their assistant directors who was also working on The Force Awakens if he could get a small role as an extra or something on the film. But, J.J. Abrams actually gave him some lines.

[@daniellawrence863]

Great reaction! I love watching people react to Star Wars that really don't know too much.

[@TheDarkPorkins]

Its more authentic.

[@rawkmode6315]

The Clone Troopers of the Republic were human, and had human emotions. They were just cloned from a single genetic donor instead of being born normally with the random genes of their parents. The later Storm Troopers of the Empire were just regular people who enlisted in the military. The even later Storm Troopers of the First Order were also regular people, but they were taken from their parents at birth and trained from childhood as soldiers, although a huge chunk of their training involved indoctrination, loyalty, and ruthlessness. The initial batch of First Order Storm Troopers were children that were thrown into a "kill or be killed" environment, and the survivors were then trained as soldiers. These survivors went on to become the leadership and training cadre for the First Order's Storm Trooper Divisions. The most ruthless and coldly brutal of all of the initial group went on to become Captain Phasma, the soldier lady in the silver armor and cape. The training program that she survived was created by Brendol Hux, a former imperial officer now part of the rising First Order military. His son, Armitage Hux, then joined the First Order military, rose quickly as an officer and killed his father. He took over the Storm Trooper training program, making it more efficient and reliable. Armitage is the red haired General that's always fighting with Kylo Ren. Brendol is already dead at the time the movie takes place, but he appears in the third season of "The Mandalorian," (which takes place 25 years before this film,) as part of the council prepping for the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn, along with Moff Gideon. Jakku, the desert planet that Rey lives on in the beginning, is the site of the final major battle between the Alliance and the Empire. The planet is covered in wreckage from both the huge ground battle and wreckage from crippled ships falling out of orbit. A big chunk of the population is involved in scavenging these battlefields. This is also the place that the Imperial survivors departed from as the battle concluded, escaping into the Unknown Regions and eventually forming the First Order.

Knowing that Harrison Ford wanted Han to die in Return of the Jedi, I wasn’t surprised when Han was killled in this movie.

[@ShadowWizard]

that's not my issue that he died but my issue was how, they took a dump on hes char before that my explanation what i found wrong with Disney trilogy I have issue with them making ray a mary sue and that they sh on solo and luke, luke would have never thought to attempt to kill ben he was hopeful and would have thought he can save ben after saving hes father from the dark side and so he was confident enough he could turn most so he was out of hes char in Disney trilogy he was jake skywalker not luke and if any1 starts with he just changed sry but who is this confident that he could save most who's that positive won't change without reason (if they would have made a tragic incident before incident with Ben then it would have made sense sort of) just cause he feels dark side in hes sister son it makes no sense it makes sense only to ppl with blindfolds ofc last movie story was a mess to worst mess in sw history So if the conflict with ben solo could not have happened cause he was hopefully and optimistic then rest what we se in the movie could have not happened as well, no1 looses hope with no reason no1 chances like this with no reason sins the incident with hes father had opposite effect Then about solo, suddenly a newbie with no training shows up and is better pilot and smarter finishing hes sentences when solo is more experienced then her and more experienced pilot then her yea right makes a lot of sense 😆 and after sh on both chsrs they kill them if u kill off heroes u don't sh on them if they want to sink this ship they can go and do it, i just watch and eat popcorn, free entertainment, some1 else later pics it up (or buys) and does better job, and i can still watch the old ones if i want, but still entertaining to point out the flaws and watch the shills go mad over this, ppl that just happen to like it don't care and will ignore but the ideological ones will loose their minds if they see it

[@sdaniels160]

[@CanadianSam999]

TIE fighters and the pilots were considered disposable. Produced in mass quantities to simply overwhelm opposition. Field of vision was "tunnel vision" due to the massive solar panels blocking peripheral vision, and no view behind either. Mind you, the X-Wing design had no rearward vision for the pilots either. How many times in the films did they frantically try to look around when told there were Imperial ships on their tail.
