I am going to see it again in a couple of hours, so I may have updated feelings after that, but preliminarily ( ... )

Rey - I'm assuming Luke's kid for the moment, because that's the simplest and it seemed pretty clear that Han and Leia only had the one. But I asked about Clone Wars because it looks like (from the little I've seen on tumblr) Anakin's running around with a female apprentice (?) who's a bit in love with him so it could be something else ( ... )

Previews Sidenote phdelicious December 19 2015, 19:12:39 UTC

We had a shit ton of trailers before TFA (Gods of Egypt, Warcraft, Batman V Superman, Kungfu Panda 3, CA: Civil War, Zootopia) and the only two that got any good attention from our sold out theater were Kungfu Panda 3 (the kids liked the potty humor jokes) and Zootopia (the adults loved the DMV Sloths). Gods of Egypt and Warcraft were being not so subtly mocked by large contingents and nobody really reacted at all the BvS or CW.

We also had an insane number of previews. Independence Day 2 got some applause, but mostly everyone was just SO DONE with the whole thing.

Oh yeah, we had that one too - I knew I was forgetting one. Ugh.

Rey and Finn and BB8 were great additions. I wish we'd gotten a little bit more about Poe instead of mostly just being told how awesome he is. I'm curious to see where they go with the next two movies ( ... )

A friend of mine thinks that Rey was one of the children that Luke taught before he closed up his Jedi Academy (or whatever they call it in this universe) b/c of Kylo Ren going dark. Her theory holds some water but I much prefer that Rey be Luke's daughter.

I love and adore the idea of Captain Phasma being the Not!Mara!!! That crossed my mind too - she was awful helpful to drop those shields.

The understanding of droids thing is going to be a thorn in my side for a while but I'll get over it.

Are you going to see it again? I saw it in 2D so I'm thinking IMAX 3D next. Twitchy to go but the local IMAX will be mobbed throughout the holidays so I need to wait until January. *twitch*

I told jenbachand to come chat with us over here. :-)
