OMG! OMG! So hyped for this!
I can't ****ing wait!
3. I don't want it to be predictable, and I want the bad guys to feel powerful. I don't know how they are going to redeem Kylo Ren... because he already lost to the main character in a 1v1 fight, even though he'd be training almost his whole life while she for only a few months.... The enemy isn't supposed to be the underdog...
He was hit in by Chewbacca's bowcaster that is powerful enough to take out groups of people. Just living through that and then going on to fight was pretty ridiculous.
I like it. I hope they take some risks in this movie. Here's a few things I want to see....
1. Luke Skywalker at his full power.... doing him total and complete justice as the most powerful Jedi there ever was(apparently according to George Lucas).
2. I want it to end in failure...especially Rey failing xD Just like empire strikes back...And she can come back and be the hero in the next one.

I agree...but walking out of the movie it didn't give me that impression, it wasn't the feeling I got from it. I think it was a poor choice of plot, bad acting, or they needed to make it more obvious that he was injured.
regardless.... Rey=1 Kilo=0...AND she gets to train with luke... he's the underdog
After it happened... you could have easily forgotten it did... he shrugged that thing off like nothing... I understand the logic behind it xD but when him and Ray were dueling... she did not take advantage of his injuries... it was shown as a clear skill gap that influenced it, or at least he completely underestimated her, and that is his fault. If you want to make it obvious someone won just because of injuries, he should have been like coughing up blood, and just pushing on even though it was obvious he shouldn't have.You mean that badass chest thump wasn't indication enough?
Also I think Rey and Kylo may end up trading places, with Kylo turning to the light and Rey to dark; just listen to their themes (Kylo's turns from menacing to the opposite; vice versa for Rey), nevermind the vicious, predatory way Rey began to fight when she tapped into the force and effected her reversal.
The one thing I think that detracts from this theory is the idea that making Rey a baddie on a lasting basis would draw flak from feminists and such, so she'll probably be redeemed in the end, if she ever goes that route (probably more likely that she's sorely tempted by the dark side and the power it offers, but ultimately rejects it rather than ever succumbing).
After Luke said it's time for the Jedi to end and it then goes to the title....
Chills.
All these years later, hundreds, likely thousands of views of the previous movies later, the thought of a new SW movie can still deeply connect with me and give me chills. Bam.
Yes! The only gripe I have with TFA is the ending (not the Luke part). Kylo Ren should've died in an epic fight. I don't like him as a villain, and - as Celticwar said - he came off as non-threatening. We need a scary villain for this one. If Kylo Ren is the main baddie again I'll be sad.
My wife thinks that was Kylo speaking, and we're being mislead
