TFA Retrospective Part 1 – SWBTF #196

1 hour 30 minutes

The Force Awakens. Did we like it? Hate it? Did it end our Fandom?! Did Star Wars need a reboot? All on the next Star Wars Beyond the Films. YOUR Star Wars discussion podcast! YOUR Podcast of Legends! YOUR ticket to that Galaxy far, far away! Your Fandom lies Beyond the Films.

This week true believers, Beyonders, Fanboys, Fangirls, respected aliens around the galaxy, The Champion of the Multiverse; Mark Hurliman, and your Count of Continuities; Nathan P. Butler sit down to discuss their reactions to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So strap in and tighten your crash webbing Fandom, Star Wars Beyond the Films is setting off on another rapid-fire trip into the galaxy far, far away!

This episode your hosts discuss:

Did it justify the reboot?

What could it have been?

TFA will take on a new feeling when we know certain background details.

How we saw it: 2D 3D and so forth.

Mark took his Dad- which was scary- his father was spoiled and pissed about what happened to Legends.

The wait-gap-anticipation- JJ takes 20 years of fan build up and gives it all in one film.

Impressions of Alan Dean Foster as the TFA Author.

Was Snoke the voice to say “KILL Him” to Rey? The Audio book used Snokes voice… (Snoke watched Ren his whole life…. might he done similar with Rey)

How the book/audio book made the Ren/Rey fight better.

Chewie kills every trooper with one shot- only Ren survived.

The Republic getting decimated wasn’t THAT clear.

Snoke- we don’t even know if he is a Sith- we know Ren was Jedi trained and Knights of Ren MASTER- but his training is still incomplete… Trained as “what” then?
