Okay here’s something I am not sure has been asked before, but in TLJ does young Ben Solo use Anakin’s saber to block Luke? Is this ever mentioned elsewhere?

nah. for a moment i thought it’d make sense for it to be the same saber because of Rey’s experience touching Anakin’s lightsaber in Maz’s castle in TFA but taking a second look…

looks like kylo’s saber but not black/red with the guards.

Don’t Join

Yes, but I still don’t get it. He doesn’t like the Resistance or the First Order… so his nickname is “Don’t Join”?

No, don’t join is his motto, DJ is his nickname.

find it coincidental that the acronym for Master Codebreaker is MC, while acronym for Dont Join is DJ. Rian Johnson’s a big hip hop fan?

I’m pretty sure he uses Anakin’s saber. That’s why he says “it belongs to me” in TFA.

I don’t know if this has been brought up in previous pages. Doesn’t anyone else find it bothersome that Rose doesn’t utter a word of complaint to Poe for getting her sister killed?

Huh. Good point. I guess what’s done is done and she’s more concerned with keeping everybody else alive.

If so, why would she stop Finn from saving everyone?

Because she’s in love with him after knowing him for all of 16 hours.

The problem with people criticizing the movie, is they just keep saying the same stuff over and over again.

You know, she saved him from killing himself in a move that wouldn’t have saved anyone if he went through with it… It was too late to destroy the cannon. But Finn was stuck in hero mode and was about to die trying anyway.

Love/infatuation/crushes totally work like that though…

Not sure that is a good point. We never see rose thinking that her sister dies in vain.

None of us know if it was too late; what we know is that Finn was about to sacrifice himself believing he would save everyone (you can’t know if he’d succeed or not, and you’ll never know because…) and she was willing to doom everyone in order to save Finn. I guess she’s Yang to her sister’s Yin.

Poe called off the attack specifically because the ram was charging up. It’s pretty obvious it was too late.

Thank you. I thought that was obvious.

By the way, had my 4th viewing this morning. IMAX 2D. Never seen laser projection before, and boy did it deliver (see it this way if you can).

Also was in the Chinese Theater (one of the biggest IMAX screens in the world), would recommend.

I’m going to my third viewing Friday. I can’t wait to have a terrible time!

Ah nuts. I really want to see this with lasers.

Closest IMAX laser system is the better part of two hours away from me. I’ve been thinking about making the pilgrimage for the last couple weeks but I haven’t found the time yet. I really hope I make it out there while it’s still playing.
