At that point, it had eaten, like, half a dozen space pirates. Finn was going into the larder.
No, it’s not a remake, it’s a hit parade of everyone’s favorite star wars tropes.
Still better than the prequels, though. (in my opinion)
There was three monsters though so that’s only two pirates each. What kind of respectable space monster is full after two pirates?
The top ten things YOU didn’t know about Darth Vader’s suit!
Help, I can’t stop laughing. I may die.
Those things were mostly mouth, tentacles, and eyes. Not much room for internal organs. They were probably stuffed after only two pirates each.
I love the fact that the Empire built two Death Stars but couldn’t afford to give Vader boots that fit.
Way up thread somebody asked if there was likely to be an extended cut. Although that’s unlikely there was a novel version of the film released at the same time as the movie and it had a few extra scenes that may have been filmed but cut…
The novel opens with a scene of Leia thinking about the events of the past and about having sent an exceptional Resistance pilot (Poe Dameron) to try and find her brother. This is followed by the opening scene of the Movie (the First Order forces on approach to Jakku).
FN-2187’s (Finn’s) failure to shoot the villagers is initially thought by one of his fellow troopers to be due to a “blaster jam,” explaining why Captain Phasma orders him to turn in his weapon to be checked by technicians.
At Niima Outpost, rather than refusing outright Unkar Plutt’s offer of 60 portions for BB-8, Rey instead bargains up. She actually ends up selling him, but then retracts the deal and gives Plutt a piece of her mind. This burns her bridges with him, but earns her respect from many of the villagers.
Leia is seen sending her personal envoy, Korr Sella, to persuade the Senate of the New Republic to act against the First Order, revealing that the Resistance is not a formal part of the New Republic armed forces. Sella is later noted to be one of the victims of the first firing of the Starkiller Base superweapon.
There is an additional scene that depicts Poe Dameron’s encounter with a scavenger on Jakku and his escape from the planet following the crash of the stolen TIE fighter.
There is an additional scene at Maz Kanata’s castle, just after Finn’s decision to try and flee the conflict. Unkar Plutt and some of his henchmen arrive and attempt to abduct Rey and BB-8. Rey tries to shoot him with the blaster given to her by Han, but she has not taken the safety off, and is quickly disarmed by Plutt. This may explain why in the movie she is shown taking the safety off before attacking a group of stormtroopers. Rey is rescued by the intervention of Chewbacca, whom Plutt unwisely aggravates by poking at his wounded shoulder. Chewbacca responds by ripping off Plutt’s arm.
All this was listed from Wookipedia, not researched by me.
Interesting tidbits, thanks.
I wonder if they were careful to wait to release the novelization until after the movie was out? In 1980 I had the Luke/Vader/father surprise ruined by the Empire Strikes Back novelization that a kid brought to school.
After reading 1169 posts in this thread, all I really have is that I enjoyed the movie.
Yes, they waited until day of release. They also waited to officially release the soundtrack due to the potential of track titles spoiling things. They didn’t, but this happened with Episode I.
Phantom Menace’s soundtrack was released a week or two early and contained a track entitled “The High Council Meeting and Qui-Gon’s Funeral”. I saw this in the store early and was kind of disappointed to see the spoiler.
Just saw this turd…I am mad, because I’ll never get that 2 1/2 hours of my life back. Absolutely boring and lousy-the Vatican newspaper review was spot on. Just recycled-the new “Death star” is now the Planet Death Star, Admiral Akhbar is still around, and the Millennial Falcon is still a pile of junk.
The light sabers appeared to have been upgraded a bit…but other wise, the inhabitants of Joker/Jakka? still dress like 4th century peasants.
And,is Darth Vader II really just a young John Travolta?
What a steaming pile!
Oh, and I didn’t get the Luke Skywalker thing-he’s hiding out on earth, living as an Irish monk?

And question: what are the capsules everyone wears on their clothing? Energy packs? Space pens? ???
I was wondering too…did Empire generals use fountain pens?
I honestly cannot think of a single element of the art of cinema in which “Revenge of the Sith” was a good movie by the standards of Hollywood fare, or better than “The Force Awakens.” Not one. I will grant it was better than the other two prequels, in the sense that they were such an incoherent mess even a mediocre film would be better than them.
But otherwise… How is Revenge of the Sith better? It has a stupid story rife with more holes (by a country mile) than The Force Awakens. It’s boringly filmed, poorly blocked, and very shittily acted with a few exceptions. It was dull and carried no emotional weight at all.
MMV. I was bored during TFA but not ever during RotS. And the only thing I really disliked in the latter was the infamously cringeworthy “Nooooo!” from Vader. (Yes, TFA looks better, but is just too unoriginal storywise except for Finn and Rey.)
Well, it DID have Natalie Portman!
So did* Your Highness*…
Which is ANOTHER fine film! It even had Naked Natalie Portman BUTT! God good,man, get a grip!
Gawd that movie sucked, I mean really fucking sucked. Only Movie 43 is lower on my personal list, and not by much.
De gustibus, man. I won’t turn it off if it’s the only thing on TV, but it is not “fine”, mostly because the lead is horrible and pot humour is lame.
Although “Magic!..Motherfucker!” is a great line.
No, it didn’t. Firstly because she was still wearing the g-string chastity belt, and secondly because Portman has no ass to speak of.
