I vote for 'polity' as the collective noun for Porgs

A "murder" of porgs, like ravens.

RIP Tallie

thats all I care about.

Wish Finn would have died.

RIP Tallie indeed.

But your stance on Finn is a little harsh, don't you think? He's certainly no Jar Jar.

DOUBLE-POST ERROR

Prediction for Episode 9:

Leia is dead/assassinated/buried. Rey is extremely sad at losing yet another parental figure. Poe is left with the huge responsibility of commanding his cell of the Resistance. Finn is now Resistance Special Ops and feels unguided. In orbit, the three of them have a bleak conversation about sparking the Resistance and defeating the First Order. A New Republic cruiser and small picket fleet exit hyperspace to the trio’s surprise and requests the Falcon to board their capital ship.

Falcon lands.

The three + Chewie steps out and is escorted to the bridge.

Bridge doors open and Billy Dee Williams as an older, much more experienced General Calrissian turns around, smiles, and says, “My friends!” as he is one of the last remaining bridges from the new trilogy to the OT

Rest of the movie doesn’t matter because we get Lando back.

You really want Lando to die, too, huh?

I was thinking something more like a "glaring", like cats. Given the scene with Chewie.

Neither do I, but that does appear to be a sticking point for others. But I also feel that it is a misplaced sticking point as by the main story (which seemed to be the main focus of @Larky Bobble), the number of movies for both characters are the same.

There was no point continuing that thread. Each to their own.

How about a "circus" of porg, like the puffins they take after?

Quote

A group of puffins has many collective nouns, including a "burrow", "circus", "colony", "improbability", and "puffinry" of puffins.

Are you guys really arguing over what qualifies as a movie Vader was in? On a different note. I don't know if this has been mentioned but;

Several people has suggested that Rey stole the Jedi books. Did anyone notice that when Finn opens the drawer, on the Falcon, for the blanket there were several books there. I thought it interesting that the camera paused there for a moment.

Yeah. There are two shots with them.

What about Jar Jar? Is he in any of the canon comics or books? Whats the lifespan of a Gungan? Is he alive? These questions I must know answers!

Uh, I mean, I don't think she's lost any parental figures yet, nor do I think she'd see Leia as a parental figure.

She spent a mere few hours with Han Solo... however long the trip was from Jakku to Maz's Castle, where she is promptly kidnapped. She then met Leia at the Resistance base before immediately departing for the Jedi Temple. Then she spent somewhere <18 hours with Luke Skywalker, and he was pretty much a jerk to her the whole time and told her she was on the wrong path.

I mean, they are all basically strangers to her. It'd be like going out to eat and seeing your server as a parental figure.

I’m so ashamed.

Kinda reminds me of the relation of Luke with Obi-Wan in Episode 4.

Find him in the desert, go with him to Mos Eisley then Alderaan to split ways on the Death Star. And yet, even after witnessing the destruction of her entire planet (with all her family and friends on it), it's Leia that comforts Luke, not the other way around, because he lost Ben... poor Luke.

Do we all remember those early trailers for The Force Awakens? Paraphrasing Luke's conversation with Leia from Return of the Jedi? Hinting at Rey's parentage?

"The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. You have that power too.".

Welp.

Nit picky? You give him a whole movie when he's born as a squeeling baby at the end. That's not Lucas' circularity...

Squealing baby? That's pretty much how he ends.

In the Aftermath books, he is still alive and a street clown on Naboo.

OMG, he ends up as a street clown. That is too perfect. Also love the line where it says kids liked him but parents didn't. Haha, art imitating life

Welp.

Not sure how it is linked to what I said.

But yeah, I remember. I also remember that it meant nothing (regarding Rey's parentage) since trailers often put lines out of real context to make fans speculate. After seeing Episode 7, you realise that this line was meant for Kylo. Vader has it, Luke have it, Leia has it, and now her son have it too.

I'm really glad that Rey's parents are some nobodies, and I hope that it was not just a lie by Ben to lure Rey to the dark side. I love that it went back to the Force being one mysterious energy that binds us all and not something genetic that pass on from generation to generation. It does pass on as a receptivity to it, just like Faith, but it is not tied to one particular bloodline. After the failure of the Jedi and then Anakin killing the Emperor to restore balance, I feel like the Force took the control back to maintain it. Snoke was 'created' to balance Luke, and then Rey was 'created' to balance Ben.

I'm pretty sure that he'll be back as a Force ghost in Episode 9, and 2 lines makes me think that he'll appear to Ben and not Rey.

During their duel, Luke says to Kylo: ''Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you''. Then, right before disapearing he says: ''See you around, kid''.

It could be nice to see Luke haunt Kylo as his conscience and ultimatly help in turning him back to the light side.

But even if he was not part of Episode 9, that last duel with Kylo and then the image with the Twin Sun was a very good end for him. It's one of my personal favorite Star Wars scene and one of the best duel.

I wish the twin suns were Luke thinking of home at his end.

The TLJ Visual Dictionary says Ahch-To is a binary system...I think Pablo Hidalgo messed that detail up, though, ruining the symbolism of Luke’s final scene with a needless detail.
