After watching The Force Awakens, I wanted to survey from the board what line(s) from the movie would become memorable or nostalgic in the near and far future? Keep in mind, even the prequels have memorable lines (for better or for worse).

So far my prediction would have to be Han Solo saying, "That's not how the force works!"

Any suggestions?

Yeah, that was cheesy as shite. But, the Disney fricks just couldn't resist.

Wow. Have no recollection of that line, thank God.
I liked

"The garbage will do"

But really, the best parts were the silent parts for me. Just Rey going up to see Luke was unbelievably epic. One of the greatest closing shots in cinematic history.

Right up until they went to the helicopter shot. Awful last image.

Nothing to add to the topic, just talking shite as usual.

You have to admit how damn iconic that shot was. You know it will be constantly emulated in pop culture. Would be shocked if Family Guy doesn't end an episode with it within the year.

Finn: Just keep calm... Just keep calm...
Poe: I am.
Finn: I was talking to myself.

Rey: That one's garbage
[ship blows up]
Finn: The garbage will do

He and you have been on opposite ends of the hyperbole spectrum.

Dude. He said it was one of the greatest shots in movie history. It looked like stock footage from an old episode of Xena: Warrior Princess.

I did catch the reference to Machu Picchu, though. That was pretty cool. I doubt many people caught that.

I thought it was cheesy as hell and looked amateurish. Just end it with Luke's face. Would have been much more effective than a Lost-looking helicopter shot that completely loses the intimacy of the moment. Don't get so rustled by an opinion. I thought the movie was great.

I mean that you are both being hyperbolic just taking opposite sides. It was not the most iconic shot ever nor will it be considered that in the future.

You're a bit too literal with my meaning. It's more Luke and Rey looking at one another as Rey holds out his former lightsaber. Aside from the Binary Sunset and the Star Destroyer chasing the Tantive IV, I can't think of a more iconic image from this series. Sure as hell beats the end of A New Hope when Chewie doesn't get his medal.

What does that even mean? If you say a thing, it's going to be taken at face value. Don't back down now.

OK: next to Binary Sunset and the Star Destroyer pursuing the Tantive IV, Rey holding out Luke's lightsaber and them looking back at one another is the most iconic image in Star Wars. That's what I mean by it. It comes off as instantly iconic.
