Leonard Fournette was born with a freakish ability but he also has to work his arse off.
Someone born with out his ability can still work really hard and ball.
the whole this dude can be a jedi and this dude cannot sucks.

The force was something to be mastered.
Something you had to devote tour life to practicing and believing in and mastering in order to use it.
Making it some bacteria in your blood stream and some just have more than others undermines the basic premise of the force.

It's always been this way.
Honestly, I've never heard this idea that "anyone can use the force" until yesterday on this board.

Seriously all of this.
Some people seem to be hoping they can be Jedi in real life... or thought this as kids

Right. I don't see how anyone could watch the OT and think, oh, anyone can be a jedi as long as they try real hard."
It's pretty obvious in the OT that few people in the galaxy are born with the ability to use the Force and most aren't. Among those that can use it, there are varying degrees of aptitude. It's not like getting a High School Diploma.

As the excitement builds ahead of the new Star Wars film, a huge display of Stormtroopers has been assembled at the Great Wall of China.
The 500 replica characters were placed on the steps at the Juyongguan section of the wall near Beijing for a promotional event yesterday.
Stormtroopers are elite soldiers wearing white armed with blaster rifles who are the key ground troops of the Galactic Empire in the series.
Tickets for Stars Wars: Episode VII went on sale two days ago, even though the movie does not open in cinemas for another two months.
The Force Awakens, which is released on December 17, is set three decades after Return of the Jedi - the third film in the original trilogy.
Two cinema chains say the film is already their most pre-booked on record. On Monday the Vue chain sold 10,000 tickets in 90 minutes.
On the same day Odeon took ‘tens of thousands’ of bookings before lunchtime and ‘thousands’ each hour throughout the afternoon.

I just want to get my hands on one legitimate movie quality storm trooper costume. Not a cheap rubber band mask with a cheap plastic chest piece.

Not too difficult. Some are pretty expensive, but there are product reviews of the less expensive ones.

Here are some enhanced images of the Knights of Ren

By the look of their weapons they are not Dark Jedi. I was under the impression that the Knights were all a bunch of dark siders but now I don't think that's the case. Perhaps Kylo is the only Knight of Ren that has force abilities?

Anybody know where I can get the movie poster besides the theater?

I'll admit I was concerned about John Boyega leading this film, until I saw the movie 'Attack the Block' just now. He was great in it. Looks a little like a young Denzel.
