The only thing that still annoys/confuses me is the people on Maz's planet looking up and seeing the shots from Starkiller base streaking across space, then seeing the planets explode. Even if Starkiller base and the target planets were in the next system over (which I'm pretty sure they weren't), I can't see how they were supposed to see them.

I know, I know, movie magic and all, but it still bugged me

Typical plot hole of a Jar Jar Abrams movie

Awesome Digital Effects reel showing before and after shots for the Academy.

No doubt my friend and his colleagues at ILM Vancouver are happy to see their work acknowledged.

Screening #5 this Saturday in IMAX 3D with the wifey. I seriously cannot wait for the DVD/BR release. Some say April, some say June.

FOX must be kicking themselves in the balls now that Lucasfilms is part of Disney. FOX has not had a major box office hit in a very long time...

Oh I think their still doing fine, but I'm sure anyone would want that franchise. I do think we (as a fan) will get the most from Disney though

I am actually think of getting the FO stormtrooper helmet. $250 USD is no more expensive than Hot Toys. But the exchange rate is just gonna kill it.
