xcellent movie! I predict Mark Hamil (he’s the one who playe dLuke) will be a huge Holllywood Star after this. I wasn’t as impressed with the guy playing Han Solo (Something Ford). ---

I can’t get enough of these characters and universe. They need to explore Chewbacca more. What’s he like on his home planet? Does he have a wife and kid? I think a small, tastefully done Christmas special with Bea Arthur would be just the right thing. ---

Kantalooppi that is the worst idea I’ve ever heard. Those flashlight-eyeball guys were bad enough. (kinda funny though… “Ooo-Teeni!”) Do you think they’ll make a sequel? It kinda seemed like they would, since the shiny helmet guy survived. But I can’t believe Ben died!! How is Luke going to learn more about the force? But the Rebels won and the Empire seems to be pretty much wiped out, so I don’t see how the sequels are going to be very interesting. We still don’t really know what happened to Luke’s father, maybe he’s still alive somehow. Yeah! That’s probably it, Luke will find out his father the Jedi is still alive and he’ll help Luke become a Jedi. And then together they can fight shiny helmet dude. ---

> [@](#): > > xcellent movie! I predict Mark Hamil (he’s the one who playe dLuke) will be a huge Holllywood Star after this. I wasn’t as impressed with the guy playing Han Solo (Something Ford). I agree. He looks like he might be into drugs or something. Not like that sweet, clean-cut Carrie Fisher. ---

Although it is a very unique idea, its still very predictable. Leia and Luke will get together and have a baby strong in the force, a new hope if you will. But since there is no one to train the baby to be a Jedi they let it have a normal childhood, that is until the empire strikes back. He is brought in and he helps destroy the empire once and for all. After defeating the empire again they find out that obi didn’t die, but used the force to appear as if he died. Obi trains little skywalker and he becomes a full jedi knight. Little skywalker then finds other people with the power to use the force and we see a return of the jedi kind of thing happening. Now we have a full \* Jedi Council \*, if you will, that police the universe and everyone lives happily every after. ---

I was confused by the whole “Force” thing. How do some people have more Force than others? I sure hope they explain it at some point.
