On Star Wars and JJ Abrams... *no spoilers* (Off-Topic)

I've now seen the whole movie, and I think I know exactly which parts you're talking about. But maybe not. There are so many crazy coincidences in this movie, I might get hung up on different moments than the next person. I did catch myself rolling my eyes when Han finds the Falcon immediately after it leaves Jakku. But then also when the resistance just happened to show up as the first order attacked. Just about everything about the Starkiller base seemed pretty ridiculous to me, too.

It's assumed that the Falcon just blew straight out of Jakku and escaped the Empire, but the way Han just shows up makes it seem like they exited atmosphere and immediately got picked up. It's ridiculous timing as far as the filming goes.

Or take the point where Starkiller Base fires and takes out five planets all within view of each other apparently. It's okay if they didn't show us the Starkiller Base charging up elsewhere, but just a scene or two ago, they were saying how the Republic was in some system somewhere needing to be dealt with, and then bam, it's right there in that system. How much time has passed between this thing traveling places? It also was conveniently in the system of the resistance base when it started sucking up that final star in the movie. When did it go there? A lot of whack time jumps that are not conveyed very well at all.

I can't wait to see it in theatres, mostly for the audio/visual presentation. JJ's movies always look spectacular, and TFA is no exception :)

No joke. It does really well in theater!
