Kylo being an emo kid is not great... I prefer a comic book doctor doom to a movie doctor doom every day of the week.

But i'll take it, and he's doing a good job in the role.

If just some random dude can pick up a light sabre and hold off Kylo... then what's the point of all that Jedi / Sith training?

TR-8R pounded Finn into the ground.
Maybe that's because his power level is over 9000...

So Finn gets no additional light sabre, or even melee training in between and he's standing up to the film's top villainous force user?
Does that mean that TR-8R might have beat Kylo if he didn't resort to the Force?

yeah... that really bugged me, but over all I think it was the best one since probably Empire Strikes Back.


also, TR-8R memes are great.

Kylo Ren is conflicted, his inner turmoil weakens his killer instincts, I mean...this is the son of Hans Solo and Leia Organa after all. Finn and Rey have a common base level struggle that is survival.

Killing your pappy is one thing, But does our burgeoning dark lord have what it takes to do in mommy as well?. Kylo Ren' struggles have only just begun. :evil:

The love triangle is another teaser, Luke lost his sisters child to the dark side, might he lose Rey too?

Finn was born and bred to kill, to follow nothing but orders, He could not, he has a natural empathy, sympathy for innocence, The force is within him.

Kylo's inner wavering is his Achilles heel, until he does mom he will always be weak.

Finn's inner morals make him a natural force for good, but he will follow his hearts infatuation.

Rey is the enigma, she appears to have a pure heart but what will be her temptation? The guy born into badness or the guy who thinks evil is a calling?.

I think one of the reasons Kylo is so conflicted is because he's trying to come to terms with the fact that his grandfather was black.

Finn was born and bred to kill, to follow nothing but orders, He could not, he has a natural empathy, sympathy for innocence, The force is within him.


There's simply no way Finn should have ever been able to hold his own for even a second against Kylo. That was really corny of the producers.

I think the original plan should have been actualized - making Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic.
That would have given us a really fresh start because it takes place a thousand years before Anakin Skywalker.


I am disappointed that Disney purchased the Star Wars Universe. I don't like their characters. And they are close to ruining Star Wars Rebels. The Clone Wars was really REALLY good.
The SW Universe has so much to it. Disney is going to eff it up.

I got a good laugh out of this one. The spoken part is in Norweigan, so be sure to read the subtitles.

If you get PBS on your PC and you have time over the Holidays try NOVA S45 E17: World's Fastest Animal. I've seen Peregrine Falcon shows before but this one is (pardon the pun) uplifting. I had relatives and kids over and they sat (pardon the pun) rapt.

That Tech Support Video!!! I feel bad laughing about the guy's anxiety about losing the text.
Learn to indulge yourself at times. I bought a set of rockstar wheels to modify my pickup this weekend.
