I'd expect Ben to explicitly avoid Leia before ANH, otherwise he becomes a single point of failure for Vader discovering the twins. The whole point of splitting them up was so Vader wouldn't find out there were two.
That doesn't mean they've met before. If they had met before, why is she addressing him using his last name lol.
In any case, they never met or bonded on screen so I'm not about to get emotional over her remembering a relationship we never saw that she may or may not have had with a ghost.
I don't have the time to do that right now, they are out there though.
People you have to see this because Rachel Weisz is in it.

She knew about Obi-Wan Kenobi from her adoptive father Bail Organa who met him in the PT. She didn't know about "Ben Kenobi", although it's fair to assume that Luke or Han must have told her about that nickname inbetween the movies.
I was thinking about this. Rey spends her half training with Luke while Kylo tries to hunt her and Luke down in an ESB sort of call back, Poe and Finn go off on some sort of adventure that ties into the war, it all ends up slamming together at the end.
Even though it will probably be bad, I still also need to see Leia ignite a lightsaber at least once. Preferably purple.
she doesn't need to have met him to name her child after him
Exactly baby does no one understand this. They specifically showed him bleeding and wounded several times. They also showed how powerful the bowcaster is several times.

This is kind of petty, but one thing that bugged me about Finn not being force-sensitive is that I'm sure it gave the casual racists out there a sigh of relief.

What gave it off? The life-sized print of Rey I hung on my bedroom wall?

Apart from the first teaser trailer, did she appear in much else?
The one that stuck out to me was Constable Zuvio (sp?). His action figure was one of the first released, and I think he appears in the film for maybe half a second.
What makes you think Kenobi was a Rebel?

Man, this movie is everything kid me wanted in a sequel to the original trilogy and I was pretty blown away by how much they didn't show in trailers.
The only thing that bugged me was that the movie ended with finding Luke without so much as a word from him. That said if I am to guess, I'm guessing the OT characters left are gonna bite it in the next movie or the last one. Rey and Finn will probably get Jedi training from Luke in the same way that Yoda trained Luke.

Even for racists that would be a bizarre thought process.
"Well it sucks that there's a black guy in this movie, but at least he can't use the Force!"

Yeah near the end when he gets knocked down his hand is sliced off, and you see it just lying there chillin in the snow.
Kylos helmet seems massively heavy. He like drops it and SMASHHHH as if it weighs 50 pounds.
He had least had ties.

I think we should spend less time discussing what racists might think.
Being the Jedi hero in the films is an exclusively white affair.
Oh you know it does, I'm still holding out hope he is somewhat force-sensitive though
Don't let it bug ya. Finn is pretty much loved by a lot of people who saw the movie, and he got to duke it out with a lightsaber a couple times. Stromtrooper to lightsaber-wielder to hero sounds like a pretty good character to me.
Personally, I'm down for whatever they do with him, force user or not. He's fun to watch, especially as he bounces off the rest of the cast.
I like this list. I was really not a fan of his character all that much in the movie, he was too excitable (understandably so with him defecting from the first order but it is star wars) . He needs more fleshing out and something like this would help immensely. Especially because it also would showcase a deeper side of Poe versus him just being the best pilot and there to save the day. I would also love to see Finn get Jedi training from Luke and have two Jedi in the "trio" (if it becomes that) with Poe holding down the Solo/Organa role of old.
Not a serious post I would hope.
Man, that really sucks lol.

So that was Rakata Prime from KOTOR right?
It looked a lot like it, especially similar to how they land the Ebon Hawk on the beach and walk up the cliffs.

I reached out and booped that Star Destroyer on its nose during that scene. Felt so close I could touch it.

But being the Sith villian is?
That is hysterical

Yeees. I loved Brick, Looper and his Breaking Bad episodes, but it's Bloom that has me the most excited about this. I still can't fucking believe he's doing a Star Wars movie.
Yes, villain too.
This is amazing. So glad that didn't happen in our Arclight.
That's pretty shitty to happen to them. lol
She knew about "Ben" Kenobi.
Luke Skywalker: I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you.
Princess Leia Organa: You're who?
Luke Skywalker: I'm here to rescue you. I've got your R2 unit. I'm here with Ben Kenobi.
Princess Leia Organa: Ben Kenobi? Where is he?
Luke Skywalker: Come on!
Of course. I'm just saying that Han named the kid Ben after his friend. Leia named the kid Ben after some dude who was important to her baby daddy and to her brother, a friend of her adoptive father.
Ties so close that instead of calling him up on his space phone, the Rebellion contacted him by sending drones down onto a planet without even knowing where on that planet he lives.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Kylo is a big baby and him getting all flustered with his wound after Chewie wrecked his shit followed by Rey ignoring his force mind fuckery then wailling on him was wonderful. I really liked the climatic fight. Good choreography, characters, and presentation, like the saber glows illuminating clouds of kicked up snow.
I also liked how the overall climax grew progressively darker as the nearby sun was leached of energy. Nice visual detail.

in the next movie they should create another deathstar with one critical weakness.

Now I want to watch Spaceballs again...in fact I'll do that!
Ornstein & Smough, duh!
Genius! The Rebel Alliance will never see it coming.
I don't disagree with his potential, and I like your take on his deliberate underwhelmyness, but it meant we never got a real sense of threat from either the First Order or the MegaDeathStar - so we kind of had a movie with mismatched scale (relative to expectations) including a super powerful pre-formed megajedi (Rey) and an ubervillain with no personality at all. McDiarmid just acted everyone else off the screen in all four movies. So I can see Ren working in the long game - but I don't know how they're gonna fix Snoke.
Also, while they blew up the Megdeathstar, it had eaten the sun already, so they were too late. Them planets is doomed.
I saw it yesterday and mostly loved it. I had attempted a full media blackout, so I was unaware of nearly everything that was to come. I only knew something weird was going on with Luke, due to having seen the poster.
It was a bit disappointing that what was "going on" with Luke was that he was barely in the movie, though I guess it makes sense leading into the next one and allowed them to focus more on the new characters. He totally should have force-grabbed the lightsaber at the end though.
Otherwise, the only thing that really irked me was that Max Von Sydow's character was killed off barely 5 minutes into it. That's a real waste of a great actor. I was hoping he would play a larger role. Like everyone else, I hate that Han is gone, but knowing Harrison Ford I figured it was nearly a certainty.

The bowcaster hits like a tank. I'm honestly surprised he was strong enough to keep standing.

To be frank the name Ben was kind of stupid. Han barely knew the guy, and it's not even Obi-Wan's real name, just some fake name he made while hiding (and didn't change his last name lol). Heck, he had even forgotten his name used to be Obi-Wan.
