Of course. I never was into the Han/Leia daughter idea. I still think they know, which still explains every hug, look, etc.
It would also explain why Rey's is so powerful.
Whomever left Rey on Jakku did so on purpose.
So I guess Han and Leia weren't around enough for the first 25 years of Ben's life which is why he's so angry.
Wut?
As time passes, this film sits a little worse in the memory. Such a missed opportunity.

I thought that the BR cover art on Amazon was just a placeholder, but no, it's the actual cover art.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
caught my attention as well.
The art for the soundtrack album is pretty inspired too!

God, I hate "Honest Trailers".
I love Honest Trailers. This one is especially good since they brought back the original voice over guy who went to fight in the Middle East. Nice to hear him.
And I loled at "A perfectly waste of the RAID cast" and "butthole eyes"
It's grown on me like a fungus.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I'll have an opinion one of these days I get around to watching one.
Movie Theater Diary
I sometimes try, but it drains me pretty quickly.
I fail and click about every tenth on posted on MC, hoping one will be funny. I'll save you six minutes, they say its a remake of A New Hope...over and over and over.
I like "Honest Trailers" well enough. A good sight better than those "Everything Wrong With" clips.
Yeah those are ten times worse for sure.
So it mirrors the film quite accurately then?

I was making no statements on the film, just that the youtube vid is one-note as a comedy piece.
I was just jesting...

Yeah, Honest Trailers make me laugh a lot. Those Everything Wrong... videos are the really annoying ones, specially since they go on forever.
Hm, this didn't improve on a second viewing. It feels too manufactured compared to the old movies. And yes, I'm counting Return of the Jedi among the old movies.

*shrug* I've watched the bluray four times already.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Why would RoTJ not be counted among "the old movies"?
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Agreed. It kept thinking to myself, where's my favorite part? Why am I watching this again? To setup two other movies?
That's damn near my reaction to the original Star Wars. However, I need to take into account that I saw Jedi in theaters as a little kid, then Empire, and then finally the original.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Generally speaking, there's A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back..............and then there's Return of the Jedi when it comes to the general consensus.
I love Episode VI as well and would without hesitation give it the full 4 stars. And yes, there have been numerous rewatches.
