Star Wars is bad, maybe the worst movie of the year.

The "Force" had its good moments in the late 70's/ early 80's, now it's a joke.

They tried to cram too much material in one movie. I do like Rey's abilities though.
 
HOW TO BUILD A DEATH STAR, ACCORDING TO NASA

Apparently, it’s all about mining asteroids and using the material to construct the Death Star in orbit.

In a video appearing on Wired, Brian Muirhead, the chief engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, speaks on the Asteroid Redirect Mission. The asteroid redirect mission will be examining the possibility of asteroid mining in orbit. The eventual result of the mission will be capture a boulder with a specifically designed probe and carry it into lunar orbit where groups of astronauts can visit to mine asteroid materials. Ideally, this mission will take place in 2023.

Muirhead’s research won’t exactly teach us how to build a Death Star in orbit, but it may give us insight as to how we can build a megastructure around our own planet. Watch below as he breaks down the science behind asteroid mining and building such a massive structure:

The Death Star has a radius of 60 kilometers (37 miles), this corresponds to a total volume of 904,000 cubic kilometers (217,000 cubic miles) and has an estimated mass of 190 trillion tonnes (according to Wookiepedia). The cost of sending items into space is roughly $20,000 per kilogram, this means that assembling the Death Star would cost us approximately 40,000 billion billion dollars; a number that dwarfs planet earth’s economy by a factor of a billion.

The asteroid redirect mission will capture a space rock that weighs 450,000 kilograms or 500 tons, and will cost approximately $2.6 billion. At this scale, you can see how costly it would be to build a Death Star that weighs over 190 trillion tonnes.

We may not see a Death Star around our planet any time soon, but thanks to the Asteroid Redirect Mission, we might be fortunate to lay the groundwork for the ability to harness materials in space, the first step to building structures in orbit.
 
I saw this with my 2 sons and we all enjoyed it. It is very true to the original movie or two. There are some new characters that are really good, especially the new female lead. We gave this an average 8.25 out of 10.
 
I don't mean to be a joykill but I feel that the movie was just a repackaging of all the movie cliches of the past 50 years.

Emotionally manipulative? Check.

Conformist symbology? Check.

Relies on outdated archetypes. Check.

Don't get me wrong. As a money making enterprise, it's a work of sheer genius. Imagine repackaging stuff people are already enjoying and serving it right back at them. No real innovation needed. Template-based Flippa site flippers would be proud
 
Oops! May the FARCE be with you: Yes, we love it... but fans are asking if this is the most ludicrous Star Wars of all time?

With an astonishing £500 million already taken at the global box office and £1 billion expected to be banked by the end of the Christmas holidays, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is breaking all records.
But the talk among fans is not about the spectacular special effects, the exotic new aliens or the dramatic fight scenes. Instead, Star Wars geeks are dissecting the gigantic black holes in the script of director JJ Abrams’s £100 million film.
Here, The Mail on Sunday collects the most conspicuous disturbances in the Force. But beware: if you’ve yet to see the film, it’ll ruin the plot!

I remember it only too well...and had a crush on Carrie Fisher after that movie.

I don think i ever came back and gave my input on this one.. Was very well filmed. I liked the action. But what a cliff hanger! You could tell the budget was prominently for costume and ships, it showed and looked awesome. Very sci-fi. Definitely enjoyed considering i havent seen any of the others. Was easy to follow and enjoy :)
