Barnes on Film- Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Review

I think the rathtar sequence is a good one, and not because it's got the Raid actors in it. It's a great closing to an important scene for newbies. The scene before that establishes that Han is not a legendary hero or general. Han tried to talk things out, shit hit the fan, and he abandoned his cargo ship in Millennium Falcon. Seems like a typical "smuggler scene".

Fourth viewing today. Finally - a decent seat in front of an IMAX screen. It's worth the extra money.

I hope we see Bala Tik in future movies. Played by Brian Vernel. Like many of the new faces in the film he performs superbly. He was also in the BBC's last kingdom: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/Q3s2PK...ZQf/odda-the-younger

Maybe droids also get old? You see junked droids sometimes.
