Clearly not, because the correct response is "and with your spirit". Duh

Seriously though, when did that change lol.

All through high school (~2006) the response was "And also with you."

I was explaining to my coworkers the "May the Fourth Be with You"/"And also with you" Catholic-Star-Wars joke, but then had to explain that the response changed at some point.

I think I just confused them.

Back in 2011 I believe. It's the more literal translation of the Latin.

It's a prototype armor they created before Empire.

Good change. Would've been too similar to Stormtrooper armor with the color scheme, considering everybody was a Star Wars noob at the time.

I don't think they actually ever intended for it to be white. They just built it to get the equipment fitted and see how it would look on film.

Wizards you would know this: there has been a running debate on Boba Fett's armor. Does he have Wookie scalps braided slung over his shoulder, or Padwe braids? I've heard both, and was wondering if there was ever a definitive ruling.

I remember way back when i was a kid reading somewhere that it is Wookie hair. I imagine it was in something that is now considered Legend and not official canon. To me, it will always be Wookie hair.

There's no definitive answer since this source is not canon, but this image is considered a fairly solid depiction of his outfit.

ETA: The entire concept of a "Padawan braid" didn't even exist until Episode I.

Nah. Ren doesn't seem as evil because he's so conflicted. That's good character development. Evil characters shouldn't be one-dimensional.

Note: I don't think Vader and the Emperor were one-dimensional. They were just different.

I don't know if this is spoilers or not, but if so, here's your warning.



Ren is conflicted, but he's conflicted because he wants to be evil. I can't recall another reason given within the film. Personally, I thought that Driver was by far the best performance in VII, but at the same time, Ren seems pretty weak as far as actual depth. The review nails Snoke perfectly, because in my mind, I could not understand what he's supposed to be other than some mysterious big bad.

I think my main issue is that these two villains are intentionally echoing Vader and Palpatine, but fall very short. I like the direction that Ren is heading, but he's still a very pale comparison to A New Hope Vader.

What am I missing? I'm legitimately trying to understand.

ETA: Oscar Isaac was a close second for my favorite performance.

Ren should pale in comparison to a New Hope Vader because Ren is not as far along in his journey to the dark side as Vader.

Exactly. And Ren/Snoke is like Vader/Sideous because of the Sith/Apprentice model they established. You could say that Maul/Sideous was similar as well.

FWIW, I thought Daisy Ridley was incredible. Driver was very good as well (the fight scene is fantastic...smacking his wounds to try to get strength, etc. But I thought Ridley was the stand out.
