I was looking at those the other day. They're so awesome. I wish they weren't so damn expensive though

Yes, in the EU there were special crystals you needed, but they weren't exactly rare. If you knew where to get one, then there'd be tons of them there.

So the last celebration scene, right before Rey takes off to go find Luke, I could have sworn I saw in the background Donald Sutherland high fiving someone who looked a whole hell of a lot like a blonde Maisie Williams (Arya from GoT) but might have been Carrie Fisher's daughter. I can't find any confirmation on it; if someone is going for a re-view, keep an eye out. Sutherland or someone who looked a whole hell of a lot like him stood out in the background because of his height and big beard.

The thirst for good Star Wars is real.

It looks like the 1B mark for domestic is within the realm of possibility. That's just crazy.
It looks like worldwide should hit 2B easily when China opens.
It starting to look like 4B to buy Lucasfilm is going be a bargain...Star Wars, Indiana Jones, ILM, etc...

Shit, they are going to make most of their money back with this one movie alone. I wonder what the merchandising profit numbers look like.

Estimated 6 billion in 2016 sales alone.
The Star Wars franchise as a whole is estimated to be worth north of 40 billion $. Lucas sold it for 4.04 billion but he was also given the right to buy a ton of Disney stock, where he now holds the second most stocks in that company, only behind the Steve Jobs estate.
So his sell might have seemed dumb, but he is actually invested in Disney, so the better Star Wars does the better his shares.

Wish we saw more of the vehicles the First Order was using on Starkiller Base. I kinda get not wanting to show these as I'm sure they would generate more 'rehash' talk. I think there was a scene when they first get off the Falcon where you can see them walking in the distance
Not sure I like the design of these as much as the original, but the wider gait seems to make them impervious to speeder cables, which is kinda cool

Here's a pic of Billie Lourd in the movie; she might indeed be the one you saw in a later scene.
You're not the only one who think they saw Sutherland there, although he's not mentioned anywhere on the mainstream movie sites so it might be a lookalike.
