When my little brother watched Back to the Future 2, he thought the "future" was an actual place and really really wanted to go there.
Saw movie
If Death Star #4 doesn't show up in a following movie, I'm going to be sad.
Of course, it has to be a trap! They build a big round planet-killing machine with an really big obvious weakness... only this time when the x-wings go inside the hole to shoot the shiny weakpoint, the hole closes and zaps them all, like a giant bug zapper. General Akbar looks at the camera at a loss of words.
and of course, the round planet shooter has to be bigger than a planet now (they get bigger) so instead of a laser built on a planet, it's a laser built on a star! And Death Star #5 will be built on a super massive black hole.
I liked the movie a lot because I didn't expect it to be as good as the originals since I saw those when I was a child and nothing is ever as good as when you're a kid. Some thoughts:
1. Why is Finn the only stormtrooper with a conscience?
2. Rey flies the Millenium Falcon through the giant wreck's inside a little too well. I don't mind her fighting Kylo Ren with a lightsaber since he was wounded but her piloting skills were too good. She was too poor and young to have piloted a spaceship before. I think.
3. I think it was stupid that Chewbacca was a spy for the U.L.T.R.O.S.S. League. You're telling me that after 4 movies being the hero he suddenly switches sides just because he falls in love with that doctor lady, who just so happens to be a resurrected Greedo? I can believe the Bownie Toodles being back from Sector Z, but this is BULLSHIT
