I wonder if the Leia space scene could have been inspired by Marvel Star Wars #52, in which Imperial Officers fed up with Vader choking their fellows, try to assassinate him?

We got Ben and Yoda as senior citizens. 😉
See you guys at the OOT release party. 😉
Han probably never stopped modifying the ship over the decades.
Nobody ever gives me money to go see a Star War. What’s that from?
That’s a surprising change for ebay. If that other site gets shut down, we’ll definitely know something is up.
I thought KISS saved Christmas? 😉
Maybe it was formerly a smuggling compartment re-purposed into a sleeping area?
Projected 68% percent drop in movie ticket sales this weekend; that is Batman vs Superman territory. TFA dropped 39% from its first weekend to its second. We can speculate over the ‘real’ review numbers, but box office numbers will generally indicate how the movie going public really feels about a movie; case in point, The Justice League which will most likely finish its box office run with less than $700 million worldwide.
Most hardcore fans have seen the film, and Christmas being on a Monday this year means one last full weekend of shopping madness. Also, this is the third SW flick we’ve had since 2015. Arguably there was a lot of pent up demand when TFA came out.
I’m old enough to remember when the holiday season was a terrible time to open a non holiday film/non kid’s movie.
At least the Jumanji remake didn’t beat it. That would have been embarrassing. 😉
Hayden wasn’t added until 2005. 😉
They could always dub the thunk in before it’s hits home video.
Did we actually see Ghost Anakin’s hands in ROTJ? 😉
If these guys aren’t all being sucked out into space, then a similar emergency field around a small door isn’t a stretch.
Seriously people, we’re nitpicking movies where you can hear sounds in space.
They can have shields that allow for open air on the exterior of the Death Star. Its’ that way when the Falcon lands in the first movie too. But in general I agree with your point, the scientific stuff doesn’t need to be nitpicked as long as its not obvious and really dumb. For instance, the asteroids in the asteroid field would never be that close together in real life. And when the Millenium Falcon flips and spins like it does when it turns around on Bespin, all of the occupants would be thrown around and probably incapacitated if not killed.
Presumably the Falcon’s artificial gravity prevents this. Just like Luke and Han can sit in the gun turrets without seatbelts even though they are facing out the top and bottom of the ship.
Phasma never had any real backstory or purpose in either movie and seemed to simply be there to market a shiny new toy. Her character really was useless to the plot of either movie and I couldn’t care less (unfortunately for the actor involved) that she’s supposedly dead, would have preferred her not to even come back in TLJ.

So was Boba Fett from a certain point of view. 😉
That’s an insult to toads! Some are quite respectable, although none appear to be very good drivers. 😛
Has anybody checked out the latest issue of Star Wars Insider Magazine? They apparently dropped a major IX spoiler.
As Criterion has a long relationship with Disney, anything could happen once the Fox deal is done. I don’t think they’ve ever done a 20th Century Fox film before?

Star Wars Insider Magazine supposedly dropped a doozy of a tibit, can anyone confirm?
Well don’t look at me. The only thing I’ve bought in the past few years was a Moroff action figure. 😉
There’s plenty of room for civilized debate on a movie, but some people just want to watch the fandom burn it seems.
Going to an isolated tranquil place to live out the rest of one’s life/to die is not the same as suicide. If Luke wanted to kill himself there are faster ways to do it in an X-Wing.
Buzzkill!
