Huh. I guess Kylo Ren really does prove the existence of the Skywalker whining gene :p

What does everyone think of the Jar Jar being a Sith theory?

It was bullshit that got out of hand when people took the joke seriously.

Finally saw Force Awakens tonight, and I thought it was really good.

The movie referenced KOTOR, which is one of my favrioute games of all time and I'm okay with that.

The movie successfully recaptured the magic lost in the prequel trilogy, while doing a soft re-telling of the original "A New Hope" but in modern times with new characters. None of the returning characters felt forced (save for C3P0 who is literally there for fan-service and nothing else), and the movie while focusing on the search for Luke Skywalker never allows that fact to out-shine the new characters until the very last scene.

I was glued to the screen. Easily my movie of the year because it was fun, it didn't treat its audience like they were stupid, it didn't require you to know everything about Star Wars, and it started a brand new universe for one of the most beloved franchises of all time.

It was a very amusing read, even if the idea probably never crossed Lucas' head.

None of the new characters felt out staged by the returning cast and I quite liked that.

I watched a 50 minute video on the theory and one of the points of evidence brought up was that Jar Jar got severely reduced in his roles in episodes 2+3 from the original plans due to backlash. And people think that since Count Dooku had little to no backstory and was much less intergrated into the plot as other characters, the idea goes that Dooku was shoved in there to replace Jar Jar by his eventual reveal.

I can definitely agree to this. It was worth a chuckle or two in one of the SW sketches/specials in Robot Chicken that was made a few years back. As of now, not so much.

Definietly thinking about grabbing a Kylo Ren figure now.

Is it better to grab the Black Label series over Figuarts?

I do think the Black Label looks more movie accurate, but I've never really had any exposure to that line.
