01:48:13.00 DENIS: "Yes, but are we saying 100%, Han's dead?"
Guys, even if he survived the lightsaber through the chest *and* the 1000 ft fall...THE F&%#ING PLANET BLEW UP, MAN!!!

[jasperalmoore]

Mark Ellis calling the Palpatine connection at 32:15! The best part is how quickly it's passed over in the conversation, because nobody expected that theory to come to fruition. :(

[EdsCollegeLife]

DID ANYONE ELSE SEE MARK ELLIS DOPPLEGANGER!!! PLEASE!! WAS I THE ONLY ONE LOL!

[AbbeyKat]

Watching this after seeing The Last Jedi is hilarious

[benjaminmoore]

when Ben Solo killed Han, Han should have said " I Love You" And Bens reply should have been " I Know "

[isaacreynolds]

REWatching this in 2021… the new trilogy has been finished and out for over a year and a half… hearing these guys talk about this film brings me back. Collider had a good thing going back then. Reminds me of simpler times…

[jordantyler]

Han knew something about Rey. Maz Kanata bluntly asks Han "So who is the girl?" and then the film cuts out of that conversation. Films do not do that without a purpose.

[Temporalmixproductions]

Mark Ellis was IN Star Wars.  He was that guy who had beef with Han.

[CouchTfilms]

I think she had parents and were ditched and raised as a Jedi by Luke...when Ben went dark and started killing Jedis Luke wiped her mind and ditched her

[AustinAndrews]

His death was telegraphed, but Chewie's response sold the gravity of the situation.

[WylunCustoms]

i just saw the movie and the biggest WTF moment I had was when Ray and Princess Leia FINALLY met and they just stared and hugged how come no one else noticed that? isnt this the first time they've seen each other? how do they even know who each other are? everyone just didnt think about that. theres no way Ray could of known she was Princes Leia.. Leia might know she is Ray (or maybe even Lukes daughter)..

[MagCynic]

I'm actually SHOCKED that Leia wasn't trained as a Jedi at all. She's obviously Force sensitive. Why would Luke have not taught her a thing or two?

[callumhibbins]

one thing you guys missed is leia never meets rae until the end of the film and she hugs her as if she's family or she knows who she is? plus why is rae sent by herself to meet luke and why didn't leia go to meet her brother? doesn't make sense for rae not to be his daughter

[taozenki]

But why did NO ONE mention how truly Badass it was seeing Kylo force stop the blaster shot mid-flight?!?! That was epically AWESOME!

[jdwerman]

This is why Han should always shoot first.

[wagnerpaivafernandes]

Me personally, I love this movie. So many vistas.

[Cornberry]

I need to watch it again. I went out of the movie theater and I couldn't stop smiling. I wanted to go back and watch it again so badly. I love seeing big movies on opening weekend because when you have a good audience watching it with you, it pumps you up even more and makes the viewing experience so fun. The movie has to be good too of course, and THIS freaking broke through my expectations. I tried to stay neutral for so long, and for the longest time I had that tiny thought in the back of my head that it might turn out to be like the prequels. I'm so glad. I can't contain myself right now.

If you played Knights of The Old Republic you are VERY familiar with the Jedi technique of selective memory wiping or re-assignment. The Jedi Council in KOTOR wiped the memory of Darth Revan to make him think he was just a regular Republic trooper so it is very possible that Luke did the same thing with Rey.

[supernator]

You guys keep picking on Kylo not instantly finding Han.
Remember Return of the Jedi... Darth Vader couldn't find Luke when he was hiding in the shadows. The Force is not GPS.
Kylo only knew that Han was close. Why else would he send Stormtroopers to look for him?
If the Midichlorians were just playing a game of "Hot & Cold" in Kylo's head, then he would have said, "Follow me Stormtroopers. Han Solo is this way!"

[lrh]

I'm watching this back in 2019, what a special moment in time.
