I haven't seen it yet, but Amanda saw a sneak peek and I asked her ALL the questions cause I love to be spoiled. :)

I hear that, in spite of the thing that happened, someone is signed for the next movie, too. So...?

Is he? I had heard that the reason for that thing was that it was his condition for appearing in the movie! Hmm.

I hadn't realized until I saw it just how much I have wanted all my life to see a movie where a girl has Luke Skywalker's role. FINALLY. I also really loved Finn. Yeah, it certainly could have been done more angstily and with more sruggle, but my very favorite thing in the world is when a bit character or a minion says, "You know what? This is wrong and I'm not doing it." And then steps into a hero's role, not because they have amazing talents or are related to someone important, but because they decided to do the right thing, with no advantages and at any cost.

Oh, heck yes. I could quibble more about the lack of good writing (like his reasons for doing that) and the painful line wherein the writers tripped up a simple grammatical phrase, and thus had poor scene-chewing Ren say the opposite of what he meant (which is probably why his delivery of that line had no power), but I think the actors carried the iffy spots.

Amen!

Either flashbacks or Kenobi-ing. Although it wasn't in front of Luke, so probably not Kenobi-ing.

Or maybe it turns out our friend here is only *mostly* dead.

[sartorias]

Heh!

Flashbacks, maybe? Well, it seemed pretty definitive, but I can always hope!
