"CRAZY" things from SWTFA

I'm well aware of Hyperspace, thank you. Why wouldn't they show us that?

 

probably because we could assume it.

sorry to offend. i was just positing the logical explanation. did they really need to show it?
they don't show Kylo Ren walk all the way from the interrogation room to Snoke's chamber in that jump cut, but it makes sense how he got there.

 

Apparently. Would it hurt to take a few seconds and cinch up that hole?

 

Yes, it's possible that's what they did, then dropped out of hyperspace to have their chat. Perhaps that's how Rey discovered the compressor puts to much stress on the Hyper-drive, considering she admits that the Falcon hasn't flown in years.

Or they simply flew out of Orbit on the other side of the planet and away from the FO Star Destroyer. Even at normal speed, they would be able to get a fair distance from Jakku in a short amount of time. Remember Han & Leia traveled from Hoth to Bespin (systems fairly close to one another) without light speed in a decent amount of time.

 

I thought it was kind of crazy that BB-8 so quickly disclosed the secret location of the Resistance base to Finn and Rey, especially after Finn admitted not being with the Resistance but rather having come from the First Order.

Yes, the flaming thumbs-up scene with BB-8 was cute, but that was a major piece of information to give away to anyone, even Rey.

Perhaps it was that BB-8 appreciated and believed in Rey (for having saved him) and knew they had to get the map back to the Resistance.

And perhaps it was also in BB-8's programming to offer information on request, and/or that he quickly calculated Finn was somehow trustworthy, even though Finn was not who he initially made himself out to be.

Poe Dameron's last instruction to BB-8 was to go as far away as possible from that opening scene and that Poe would come back for him.

Instead, BB-8 elected to follow Rey and Finn aboard the Falcon, disobeying Poe.

Perhaps it was another one of those calculations: stay and risk capture from the First Order, who had just noticed the droid and began pursuing them, or take a chance and escape with two strangers you barely know.

Good thing it all worked out, but...

BB-8, what were you thinking, buddy?

Personally, I think she did it, because she honestly didn't think it would matter. And let's face it, if it wasn't for Han's idea to use their explosives on the oscillator from the inside, the original plan of having the X-wings damage it enough to disable the weapon, was never going to work in time. A point that the female pilot point, towards the end of the battle, makes quite clear.

I don't think BB-8 had much of a choice. Yes he wanted to follow Rey after she rescued him from Teedo, but at this point he was pretty much "as far away from here" as he could get, without getting into trouble or getting snatched up, as we witnessed.

His choice to follow Finn and Rey onto the Falcon, was one of survival. If he hadn't, the FO troopers would surely have caught him, leaving Snoke and Ren with Luke's location.

 

I also think its hilarious that on the way back out into the snow after they get Rey, how Chewie totally takes the time to give stick back to Han by picking up the jacket Han discarded on the floor on the way in and handing it to him with a cheeky look that says 'don't want you to get cold', and Han's return look that says 'I totally know your giving me blast, but I'll still take that jacket'. Also, you'd think leaving the jacket on the floor would be a bit of a giveaway to the FO that theyve been infiltrated, come to think of it. Bad move really, but I do love the Han/Chewie interaction it evokes.

Actually, it's crazy how many times jackets come on and off Han, Rey and Finn on Starkiller Base period. You'd think they would have had other things to worry about.

 

Yeah I noticed that too. Some say rey was wearing Finns jacket but she wasn’t when the jacket she was wearing was a longer one. It seemed like it was a little too big for her body but I liked it in a way cause it made her look like a mechanic

 

I think BB-8's behaviour was weird on purpose. I felt like he was a baby droid still learning stuff, and he acted more on trust and emotion than an "adult" droid would. For one, he was switching attachment figures quite quickly, depending on who made him feel safe there and then. First Poe, then Rey, then Han (!) when the gangs show up on the Falcon, then Rey again, then Poe again. A kid would do that. Moreover, he's curious, and I doubt his following Rey around on Takodana is a coincidence. The script focuses on his actions quite a lot. I sit with the impression that BB-8 was supposed to be a droid version of little Rey, and that his arc gave us clues about how she ended up away from home and on Jakku once upon a time. She might have given away a secret herself because someone made a promise to her and she trusted that person.

 

hahaha ~ this must be a theme with deep meaning! we must examine this deeply.

and it's not just Han, Chewie, Finn, and Rey. there's a serious flip-flopping with what Kylo Ren is wearing from the interrogation point to the end. it still drives me crazy when i'm watching: he's got the hood, he takes it off, he puts it on, he takes it off. it's obviously just a continuity error, but a maddening one ~ hahaha.

and it still strikes me weird that Rey gives Finn his jacket back at the top of the ladder, but then they run from the oscillator and Rey is in her bare arms. so much for chivalry, Finn! hahaha

 

Cuz......she's hot, of course she would take her jacket off. Now I'll go back to lurking again.

 

Ok I took a closer look at the scene when she is wearing the jacket and my bad, it is Finn's jacket. gawd, my eyes were cheated probably because of her long garments that made it look like they were apart of the jacket itself. lols. Plus it looks like she's just swimming in that jacket haha. Well that was nice of Finn to let her wear it for a brief time. I always thought that if there were any jackets on board the MF, you would think that there would have been enough to go around - at least for Rey to wear where she doesn't have to keep borrowing Finn's jacket

 

It was Finn's jacket. I do believe even in the novel it states he gives it to here when they are outside. From the movie stand point, it is visually obvious it is Finn's jacket, and also when Rey and Finn climb up the ladder and enter the Oscillator above where Chewie is standing as Han is confronting Ben, you see Finn adjusting the jacket, as if he were just handed it back and put it back on..... because he wasn't wearing a jacket when Rey was unplugging that device to open the doors for Han, or when they started climbing up the ladder.

 

Uh read my other post where I corrected myself...

 

Sorry, missed that!

 

Yes, I actually thought about that, but from what I have read about in other canon sources (e.g. Marvel's Star Wars, etc) the Empire agents were not so loyal being under threat lol. Though it would be interesting to find out if that action taken by Phasma obeyed to one fan theory - that she is actually a infiltrated agent from the Resistance lol.
