If Anakin can find redemption after slaughtering a bunch of kids then
Kylo Ren can find redemption after killing his own daddy. He still can get back to the light side before this trilogy is over

No , he deserves that work for that shit, I will not forgive that treachery.

seriously if luke had killed vader would there have been redemption for him? nah reno crossedd that line. but i like it, hes triller than vader was power wise

that was my thinking as well. Luke was tempted by his anger and the emperor to kill his father and join the dark side at the end of ROTJ but he didn't and gave us the "I'm a jedi, like my father before me" line.

Ren chose to kill his father, which I think shows he's fully gone to the darkside now

Aight I do got 1 complaint. Pretty minor...

Captain Phasma. I remember being hyped that they had Brienne of Tarth in this shit. They literally could've had anybody in that suit and it would've been the exact same. Wasted character. I know the nerdy side of Gwendoline Christy was just happy to be there. But she was wasted in this role.

She's having a bigger role in episode 8 and probably 9 too

No. We're saying that you should marinate on the fact that you're complaining that we weren't provided any promotion or battle training montages of Finn with the First Order.

What they got paid:
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...newcomers-daisy-ridley-and-john-a6780391.html

Harrison Ford: £16.7 million +0.5% of the films gross + an additional £1 million in compensation for his leg being broken on set

JJ Abrams: was paid £3.3 million to direct + 2% of the film's gross

Carrie Fisher: £1 million

John Boyega: £300,000 + an unspecified cut of the box office

Daisy Ridley: £300,000 + an unspecified cut of the box office

Disney is trynna be slick they knew this movie would be big bank , smh at them cutting such small checks , them cats better get paid for 8 & 9.

They get a cut of the box office this movie is estimated to make 2 billion at the box office. There going to make millions off this movie
 
These unknown newcomers would've signed up for free. It's an opportunity of a lifetime that opens up other doors. Harrison Ford rightfully gets paid what he gets because he is an established legend and they need him as a key piece to tell this story. Damn a percentage of profits gonna be nice.

Not big on star wars but I enjoyed this movie. A good balance of action, sci fi and storytelling as well as a homage to the original.

300 000 though ??

atleast make it about 750 000

It's in British pound s they probably got paid around $500,000.
 
As far as Kylo Ren is concerned

Luke and Leia were supposed to Balance the force, so it makes sense that their kids would be the ones, im not closing the chapter on him being all villany

The Finn complaint

I'm sorry about dudes up and arms about Finn is wrong. There are too many instances where we look at roles and don't appreciate them because we ourselves think they are stereotypical. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his role. It would've been the exact same case if dude was white, I guarantee it. And that's what we should want, not any special treatment just fairness.

You have to think, Finn couldn't do much but shoot a blaster which most storm troopers are trained to do. They are supposed to be expendable that's why there are so many of them. Everything that he encountered it was his first time encountering it and he picked up on it all really fast. There was no token black guy moment to be had. He is one of the leads and drove the story.

One thing about Finn, dude didn't have any kick ass moments. Great acting, courageous character, but I didn't see anything that showed me dude was awesome. Everybody in the movie has their moment, Poe the most, even Chewie went ham for a hot second. I ain't see that with Finn. The times he did, it was in a bumbling way. He'd try and then fail or need help. Rey's sidekick is the best way to put his role here. Cool movie, but it is what is.

And after all that dude got friend-zoned at the end of the movie. LOL. And then this dude was in sanitation in The First Order it's later revealed, which was really strange to throw in. Like why the hell was he suddenly sent to the front lines? So what he got promoted? Well, where was any of that military training that got him promoted at? I'm just saying.

My point exactly. He was a dancing jigaboo that got friendzoned and the whites and coons loves it.
 
Yall need to understand... The Finn character was written without a specific race in mind. It's like you niggas wanted him to be "Homeboys in Outer Space". I actually would've been mad if he played it too "ethnic" running around actin like a "Jamal".

If anything that's more coontastic.
 
I need Episode 8 to have more scenes with Po and Fin the actors had great chemistry and Rey as well.

Spoiling this just to be safe but
cosign whoever said that shit about Phasma earlier. They could've put anybody in that armor. Idk why it was kinda of a big deal that Brianne was cast for that role when she didn't really do shit. But then again it's only part one of the trilogy and I don't think she died unless I missed something

The theater i was in only had 8 people in it and saying it was 8 is pushing it and this was after i got a email saying they had to switch my seats and move me to a bigger theater, i was sitting dead center with only 8 people on it. And I don't know what previews they showed ya'll but that Civil War shit is gonna be off the chain, and they showed a preview of a cartoon movie called Zootopia where a rabbit was at the DMV trying to get some help from a slow ass sloth, that shit was funny as fuck!!!!
JJ Abrams will always be known as the man that killed Han Solo R.I.P

Man, we had shitty previews.
