I can't even blame Column. There's so much shit you try and forget about those movies. I watch the Plinkett reviews again at least every other year to remind myself why investing in a box set is worthless.

I was remarking to myself how mundane and boring that fight scene looks. "Ho hum, another slow dance with flashy swords, la la la." Zero gravity, tension, or ... really anything. It's almost like Lucas out-Transformered Transformers even before they existed, just constant pointless overly flashy fighting.

I imagine the script simply said "and then they have a lightsaber fight"

He probably saw the fights in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and the only thing he came away from it with was thinking how much cooler it would have looked with light sabers. Obi-wan even flashes that two-finger focus hand gesture in one of his fights.

Dude, c'mon. I was just getting hyped.

That Grevious/Obi-Wan fight is just sad.

Star Wars night on Kimmel tonight. Every time Carrie Fisher is in attendance I feel like someone is the sucker that is tasked with babysitting her, shes straight up wildcard. Adam Driver comes across so badly in person, but I have 100% faith he's going to nail his role. Its really awesome to see Star Wars be this big a deal again, can't believe we're this lucky sometimes.

In SW, a Brit accent is supposed to be a sign of a noble upbringing on core Imperial worlds. Boyega, the grunt, changed to an american accent for the film, but Ridley - a junk dealer in bumfuck nowhere, does not. There might be a reason.

Unless she just sucks at it or didn't have time before filming.

After hearing Boyega speaking in his normal accent, I'm pretty impressed with how well he neutralized it for the role.

Something along those lines is generally accepted, but I don't think it's actually canon. I've heard that it's (supposed to be) just a Coruscant accent, which is where the Imps are trained/schooled whatever.

But she looks more capable than the hot piece of ass midget that played her grandma.
Carrie Fisher was never a raving beauty, but she did have some sort of naughty spoiled look to her in her prime. That made her more interesting, like she might be kinda kinky or whatever. This girl, I'm kinda afraid of her sunshine and teeth.

She definitely seems to have a very bland affect. Still not sure how this will play out on screen, some of the trailers I feel like she's going to be alright, other times not so much.
