Kylo killed his dad to help his journey to the Dark Side. His uncle was faced with a similar test but chose not to go down that path to become the last (greatest?) Jedi so maybe Kylo killing Han and then having his training completed by Snoke will push home into the stratosphere of evil...

Maybe he has taken a huge step to his journey to evil by killing his daddy, but still, he's not able to defeat Finn or Rey. Meh, that brat kid is too bland, very bad casting choice. Even Poe laughs at him in the first scene of the movie. How can we take him seriously? His stupid slash-everything-around attitude also doesn't help. Looks like a spoiled kid. SW needs real evil!

Apologies for my rudimentary English.

My eye doctor was funny today. He is a sci fi geek do we chat about star wars star trek x files etc... he was highly disappointed with the new Star Wars he said there were many many spots in the movie where Abrams was saying oh we are going to make money here we're going to make money there etc... He said they didn't even try to make it different than the first. I don't totally agree but I agree slightly.

Your doctor has a good eye.

I've seen it in 2D and 3D. 3D looks so unnatural to me. In my opinion, you have missed nothing. 2D version is way much better.

Yep. Nearly all the reports I've read have said that the 3D showing is a waste of time really.

I'm glad I saw it in 2D, good to see the old characters and some updated material.

I thought the new Empire was weak, how can they threaten other star systems with a Death Star that can't move? I also fail to see the governing utility in blowing up five other planets (with one shot) in their own star system. A Galactic Empire needs to collect taxes, kind of hard to do if you blow up all the other planets. I get the feeling the plot was even thinner than the silly prequels.

If they thought it was a dramatic hook to kill off Han Solo, think again. I will never watch this movie a second time to see that again, I won't buy the DVD or Bluray, and I plan to not watch the next two installments. This is the same team that wrecked Star Trek, I won't pay money for their products again.

Maybe Robert Smith should have played the Goth son. Then he could have had a dark side band at the cantina!

Apparently the blaster bolt that Kylo halts on Jakku looks cool in 3D..... other than that, I reckon it's the usual gimicky BS...

The First Order is made up of the Imperial Remnant and it has grown in secret in the Outer Rim. The plan was that Starkiller Base could shoot blasts that could travel through hyperspace so it would not need to move to threaten planets far away. starwars.wikia.com/wiki/First_Order

They blew up the planets in that system to destabilise the Republic as this is where the Republic heads of state sat at the time. In this Republic, there is no Coruscant as the static head/centre of the Republic. The idea being that a core world would seem to alienate Outer Rim worlds or systems so a movable "capitol" would be more representative of all systems in the Republic.

I guess the FO planned to blow up the current govt and move in with their troops and ships to take the remaining capital worlds? Since they blew up most of the Republic army/navy they figured they were unstoppable. Either way it didn't pan out for them thanks to Our Heroes..

I'm off to see it again tomorrow night. Yippeeee!!

You mean like how Khan is really Benedict Cumberbacht, and tribbles have Khan's blood that convey immortality, so that all McCoy needs to do to bring Kirk back to life is a Tribble with Khan-energy blood? That sort of explanation was the same as the First Order sending Death Star blasts through hyperspace!

Pipperoo, thanks for the SNL sketch. Made a thousand times more sense than the movie.

I don't see how the "doesn't make sense" card can be played against movies such as these. Why is it so hard to accept that technology has made it from non-hyperspace blasts to hyper-space sun-stolen-energy-blasts when the movie is about space wizards who can move things with their minds accessing a power that binds the universe.

You must suspend disbelief in these movies, otherwise you won't believe that a man from another planet can defy gravity and fly as simply as we walk.

It really is a bummer that so many people are disappointed with the new movie.. you can't please everyone though.
