Why is no one remembering that Kylo Ren had just been shot broadside by Chewbacca's crossbow, which Han taught us earlier is roughly as powerful as a capital ship's turbolasers. Dude was bleeding out of his cloak and choking on blood at the time (him hitting his chest during the fight indicates this).

Its been mentioned multiple times. These guys are just being jackasses.

I just watched the OT the last 2-3 days and there's a SHITLOAD of stuff that is ridiculously implausible.

If you go into Star Wars with that kind of mindset, you simply will not enjoy yourself.

I'm a jackass because I thought the scene should have played out differently?

Ok, bud.

He was shot with essentially a cannon? What more do you want?

He's simply not that refined yet.

I think the fight was perfectly plausible. Just because he could stop a blaster and read minds doesn't mean he was a master light saber user yet.

People forget the entire duels are about focus. He can have a moment of focus and throw Rey around and then have an entire moment of weakness where Finn could land a blow.

We've seen it time and time again in almost every single duel. If you lose focus and you can take blows. Sideous, Dooku, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Darth Maul, Anakin, Luke, Vader, the list goes on and on.

Any and all of them have taken blows from seemingly much "weaker" opponents.

Don't understand why that is so hard to grasp for some.

Jesus Christ. I love everything about Star Wars and enjoyed the shite out of the movie. That just a small gripe I have with it.

Easy turbo, just having a discussion here. You're not a jackass, I was referring to Blueboy and his apprentice.

I'm not going to waste any more fingerbreaths arguing with you about it. I've said all I have to say about that scene.

Without starting another thread, and I know its been discussed before but how come Vader had no idea that Leia was his daughter at the beginning of ANH?

Cuz she isn't that force strong or what? That really started to bother me last night.

Alright man, don't get too worked up but I think my points are pretty valid about many super powerful force users losing focus and taking blows...

Might have something about being called a jackass over not liking a particular scene in the movie.

Just said I didn't mean that for you man. The quote and reply function here isn't all encompassing as most of us know...

The CGI is fine.
I thought it was fine, too. I read yesterday that she had more screentime, but just didn't fit into the story very well.

what about when Ren felt Bagoda's presence?(I'm bad with names) right before the frozen laser blast is released, Ren is walking side profile and all of a sudden stops....he pauses like he senses something, then turns to look into the distance at the storm trooper with blood on his mask. He then turns to his ship and the laser blast is released.

Did he sense force in Begoda? Is that why when Rey and Bagoda are flying away and he's nailing tie fighters like he's bullseyeing womp rats in beggar's canyon, then screaming "how did I do that?!?!" Because Begoda has mitoclorianic DNA?

Not really sure about that. Or Kylo could just sense his commitment to the cause waning.

He also knew right away which trooper had defected.

which makes me think that he was a plant. Like the Darth Revan KOTAR story. He's dark force adept with his mind erased.

Did they stuff Phasma down the trash compactor?

Just wondering if she died or not.
