Fact a lot more people have be enjoyed it than those who haven't. But who cares as it's only a film. Will say it again, is bloody movie for more important problems in life than what day of the week Luke farts on and what it smells like. |

No one's cherry picking anything. I went to the cinema to enjoy a Star Wars film. I'm not a fan boy at all, but I would like to be treated with some intelligence with a film that actually can demonstrate to the audience that it's willing to take the Star Wars realm into new and different lands without being dumb and inferior. I would've been better served by a double re-showing of The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi Trebor, cos that's what we got at the cinema. Why then Trebor do we come here to Cult Labs if we're not fan boys of a certain film(s) or TV series? |

But as I said it's only a movie and thats the last I will say on the subject. I'm not going to get bent out of shape if people like something I don't, just can't understand why people get so upset if someone does. |

Maybe one day Trebor you might just reconsider you're position. |

Is there a major difference with Johnson using character tropes and plot devices compared to Lucas using them from Kurosawa (R2-D2 and C-3PO based on characters from The Hidden Fortress, for example)? Because of the inspirations for the stories and characters, isn't it only natural for certain relationships within the Jedi/Rebel Alliance/Resistance and the Galactic Empire/First Order to be repeated?

No, they are minor characters. I was using them as an example of how Lucas was inspired by other films, and how it could be seen that trend is continuing, with BB-8 similar in appearance and communication to R2-D2, and his relationship with Poe is reminiscent of R2-D2's with Luke in the first couple of Star Wars movies. I don't believe it's a lack of imagination or cinematic plagiarism, but perfectly natural in how a headstrong character would communicate with a very able droid.

I bet the idea is to phase out the use of the droids, Chewbacca etc as they will all be Lucas film property and royalties will have to be given to George. However new creations like BB-8 (Remote control toys ago-go) will be completely Disney owned. R2D2, Luke Skywalker will all be Lucas trademarks and phased out asap. |

If you remember the scene I described a couple of weeks ago where there were people in the cinema foyer dressed as Chewbacca, a storm trooper and (I think, though I saw his back and not his face) Darth Vader, they had a remote-controlled BB-8 which fits the new film much more than a mobile R2-D2.

It's all about the mighty $ with Disney. Especially Disney. Basically if Disney bought the rights to James Bond, around two films down the line Eon trademarks such as 007, SPECTRE and the theme tune would be ditched in favour of new brand Disney ideas. |
