You know, something I've been feeling for a while is that JJ
Abrams doesn't seem to like spaceships that much. The Sword
Swallower was a big ship but we only spent five minutes on it,
we had the Star Destroyer, but man, I like spaceships! I want
to see more spaceships in the next Star Wars. Remember we had
Cloud City in Empire, I want to see something like that, a city
or a village in a spaceship, big, cool, and weird masses of
hardware zipping or lumbering around the stars. We spent so
much time on PLANETS in a movie called STAR Wars!

Not far. Turns out the Special Features is a Blu-ray disc. So,
it's a no-go until I pick up my Xbox One. That's why I had all
the time to kill last night posting in this thread and Rogue
One. The one great thing is that I can watch the movie again,
but this time playing the Blu-ray disc. So, it's going to look
even better the second time around.

You know, one issue I DID have with the blu-ray is that they
didn't put the IMAX footage in it! I want to see it! Its only
one scene, the Falcon's escape off Jakku, but I don't have an
IMAX theater or a FauxMax theater, and I want to see what I was
missing! And dont' give me any hooey about how opening the
frame isn't "traditional Star Wars," it doesn't matter.
Besides, you know there will be more IMAX in Episode 8 and even
more in Episode 9 (and even more in the conceivable Episode 9
Part 2, given how studios like to break up the final film in a
series). Having one open-frame scene would help ease the viewer
into it, you know? Gradual build.

Oh God, I sure hope they don't start doing crap like that. Wrap
up the story in increments of 3 (Trilogies) and just move on to
the next set of 3's. There's really no need to start doing Part
1's and 2's.

I'm sure the craze is already dying off, not to worry. But
seriously, IMAX on Blu already! They did it with Tron, why
didn't they do it with this?

I don't know if you're being serious or making a joke. Disney is
taking a page right out of the Lucas playbook. Release the "dumb
down" DVD and then start re-releasing it each year with a little
bit more and more content to reap the rewards of unlimited cash.
When I bought my Steelbook, I knew in the back of my mind this
was just the beginning of their plan to suck people dry.

I'm being fucking serious, they're going to be PRINTING Star
Wars for a decade without a break. It's bad enough that they
had retailer exclusives so that fans can't get the whole
experience with one purchase, and I'm sure when the entire
trilogy is out there will be a box set with some bonuses that
just couldn't exist now, and maybe a better transfer, I can
accept that, but that's it.

They should rename the character to Captain Invisible. As I said
before in my initial post, the lack of Phasma is really the only
misstep for the movie. I'm confident that she will be given the
proper story and screen time in Episode VIII. I've been looking
online for other opinions on her lack of screen time. Some good
reads that all say the same thing. Such a bad-ass looking
design. So much potential.
