New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ lets women take the lead

Adam Driver is Hayden Christensen reborn, in essence, a somewhat amusing menace with the helmet on, that tall, skinny, curly-headed funnyman from Girls and This is Where I Leave You with the helmet off. Miscast.

It’s in the command centre on Starkiller Base, where women sit behind the controls of The First Order’s most powerful weapon.

“He added: “‘Star Wars’ movies are meant to be a couple of hours of diversion from reality, and we need that.

Copying the old trilogy was annoying in the prequels because it had nothing else to go on, no actual humanity to speak of, no characters to overcome plot limitations, and no actors to overcome George Lucas’s writing.

Fans are pointing out that it doesn’t make sense that the Resistance and the Republic are two separate entities fighting the New Order, which is essentially the remnants of the Empire.

The final goodbye tugs on the heart strings as much as any scene in Star Wars history as Han reaches up and touches his son’s face after he’s stabbed through the chest before falling off the platform to his death. Star Wars ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger. And, this could also explain why the force is just so strong with her, HelloGiggles noted. I’m glad to see it scaled back a bit.

Here’s why any of that matters: Luke’s iconic blue lightsaber-which was passed down from Anakin to Luke via Obi-Wan, before the younger Skywalker lost it on Bespin after losing his hand in a duel with Darth Vader-chooses Rey again later, during a desperate duel with Kylo Ren in that snowy forest. Angry Joe later realized what Kylo Ren is actually saying is “Face me!”, which is quickly interrupted by “Curses!” when he takes damage. I suppose they could be under the impression that she died instead of being left on Jakku. She is a scavenger and quite the feisty warrior. Oscar Isaac plays Poe Dameron, the daring pilot who has been sent to retrieve a map containing the location of Luke.

JJ Abrams has successfully managed to do the impossible and live up to the hype surrounding, what has got the to be the most anticipated movie in years.

Kylo tells his father that he’s struggling with the light versus the dark inside of him and he needs his help to vanquish the turmoil and Han immediately agrees to help him however he can. Finn is also a hero unlike others from the past, and not just because he is the first leading minority hero either – or the first storm trooper turned hero.

Luke dreamed of nothing but leaving his desert home for adventure, while having an aunt and uncle who gave him a pretty sheltered life. However, Finn doesn’t end as far along as Rey, as his efforts to use a lightsaber are less effective than the trailers indicate.

The indomitable hot-takers at Salon, in a review focusing exclusively on the “We’ve seen this movie” angle, allow that Driver is putting his all into the performance, while bemoaning what a beta-ass villain Ren is as if it’s not part of the point.
