Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) & 100 Things I Like About It [with SPOILERS]

Read Time:11 Minute, 20 Second

Please tell me:

01. Who’s Rey actually? Whose descendants? From where she comes? Everything!

02. Why the lightsaber calls Rey?

03. What’s Maz Kanata’s “long story for next time” about?

04. Who’s Finn actually, too? Please confirm whether he’s a Calrissian or not.

05. What really turned Ben Solo into Kylo Ren? And how come Luke became that helpless to restrain him?

06. Who’s Supreme Leader Snoke actually? Has he been there all along, from the era of Sith to Empire to First Order? Or he’s just a Darth Sidious’ fanboy like Kylo Ren’s a Darth Vader’s fanboy?

07. Why’s actually Luke sending himself to exile? Is he that helpless? Can’t he get any revelation from his previous masters? How come he cannot communicate with Yoda, Obi-wan or even Anakin?

08. What’s actually Luke doing while he’s away? Is the rumour about the first Jedi Temple true? If so, what’s the significance?

09. A while ago, Empire releases a picture of Constable Zuvio, how come he doesn’t appear on the movie?

10. If Kylo Ren is a member of Knights of Ren, where are the others?

11. A question I should have asked earlier, who’s Lor Sar Tekka? He seems to know much about Kylo Ren.

12. Poe Dameron might not be as intriguing as other new characters, but my question is: Can we get a backstory of him?

13. It’s reported that Captain Phasma will still be alive and having more roles on Episode VIII, what’s possibly her role? Is it for good or for bad?

14. Oh, where’s Supreme Leader Snoke actually? He only appears as projection the whole time.

15. What does Rey flashback really mean?

The Force Awakens is really a strong movie for Star Wars fans and for Star Wars virgin. I just hope the next Star Wars movies can be as good as it is, or even better. I was expecting a more dynamic formula, though.

  1. Loved reading this post! I have sooo many questions too! I want to watch the movie at least another 5 times, even though I know I won’t find my answers…bring on Episode VIII!

    1. Thanks, Allie! I have a lot to say about this movie therefore it is. I know I feel you, too. I watched it twice, the answer just didn’t come but it gives me more insight to characters’ motive in conducting things. Also… Many quotable lines although not as provoking a the original trilogy.

      Really can’t wait for 2017? Or 18? Lol

  2. YASSSSSS…so much to love here and I love how you really took the time to break this all down. In fact…your post helped me appreciate Boyega more, as I wasn’t as drawn to him while watching it, or his comic relief and yet your post helped me relive some of his moments in a way that made me like him even more.

    Now I want to watch this again!

    1. I love it so much! I know it’s flawed, but it doesn’t matter at all.
      I watched it twice to finally break down things into smaller things like this.
      And, just so you know, I loved Boyega’s persona ever since the first time he showed up, I couldn’t help but laugh. When I watched it again, the pattern became more clear that he’s destined for that.

      Really hope you like it that much too!

  3. Such a great post!!! I don’t know how you managed to come up with a solid 100 likes (I narrowed mine down to 5 haha), but every point is legit! 08. BB-8 is not just a gimmick! It’s as essential as R2-D2 and C-3PO. YES!!

    1. Thank you, Courtney 🙂 I watched it once and I thought I had many love for it. I tried to recall all things that thrilled me and came up with more than 100 things but I decided to keep it neat by narrowing them down to 100.

      What I said about BB-8 is true, right?

  4. Wow, all that and you only watched it twice? Good for you.

    1. Twice! I was so excited when I watched it for the first time and decided to deeply understand it on the second 🙂 thanks, Jay!

    Satu hal yg membuat kecewa, terlalu mirip dengan Episode 4.
    Kapt. Phasma mudah banget ditaklukan, cuma ditodong langsung nurut. Kenapa gak pake perlawanan dulu?
    Kylo Ren lebih baik dari Dart Vader karena semarah-marahnya Kylo, yg dia hancurkan adalah peralatan (benda mati) bukan prajurit atau staff yg ada di sekitarnya. Beda dengan Dart yg hobi main cekik.
    BB-8, bentuknya cuma bola dengan kepala setengah bola tapi caranya bergerak benar2 menunjukkan emosi seperti saat sedih, bingung, atau gembira. Benar2 berasa hidup.
    Unsur komedinya benar2 fresh.

    1. Ya emang banyak kemiripan dengan Star Wars (sorry I refuse to use eps 4)… Tapi elaborasinya bagus sekali. Nggak terlalu same shit different day.
      Phasma sih katanya akan punya banyak role di episode 8, don’t know how yet, though.
      Kylo Ren emang lebih kompleks dan lebih abu-abu yg jelas. Dia masih labil sekali… Emosinya blm terarah hehe

      Overall, episode yg mengalir dgn cantik melanjutkan aliran trilogi originalnya 🙂
