Complaints (Spoilers)

"The Force" runs strong in his hair.

-The movie did rely too much on nostalgia and callbacks. While most of it was fun, it did get distracting at times. It was especially distracting when everyone is practically grinning and winking over tossing Captain Phasma into the trash compactor.

Eh. It was a short punchline that didn't lead to anything other than a chuckle. If they had a scene with Han throwing her in and gleefully smashing her, I'd agree.

I was being flippant but whatever was going with her face (too much plastic surgery, caked on make-up, etc.) seemed unnatural.

Well, in that case, it was an unpleasant, detestable thing to say.

Carrie Fisher is a big girl. She can handle it.

Of course she can handle it. Doesn't change the fact that it's still a shitty comment to make, though.

Yes, Vader's mask was out of necessity as part of his life-support armor.

But Ren is not Vader. His mask/helmet was just combat gear, like all the stormtroopers' helmets.

I want to know how me maintained such a voluminous, silky smooth hair style while wearing a helmet.

The Dark Side is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

I'm puzzled about why I keep seeing people complain about Rey becoming powerful in the force after such a short time. I'm assuming that these people weren't paying attention to the fact that Luke basically completed Jedi training in the course of maybe a couple days. Watch ESB again. There seems to be almost no time that passes. After that he's leaping and dueling like a boss.

I always had the impression Luke spent more time on Dagobah than the film shows. The Falcon's hyperdrive wasn't working. And Han said Bespin was pretty far. In reality they probably should not be able to make the trip. But lets say when they left the Star Destroyer they were months away at sublight. So that would give Luke months of training.

It really didn't seem to me the events of ESB took place over the course of months, maybe days at most. But even then I'm dubious. (Aren't Han, Luke and Leia all in the same clothes during the entire movie until they get to Cloud City?)

I'm sure making sure they had a change of clothes was foremost in their minds as they rushed to evacuate Hoth. :P

Besides Leia was supposed to be evacuated on a transport ship not the Falcon so potentially any clothes would be on that ship and not the Falcon.

I think that's the general idea. If TESB events occurred in chronological order, the entire battle over Hoth and the escape of the Falcon would have taken place before Luke reached Dagobah.

Of course she can handle it. Doesn't change the fact that it's still a shitty comment to make, though.

Also doesn't change the fact that for all the cries of 'women do it to men too!', no one has commented on the Hamill, Sydow or Ford's appearence outside of a general 'they look older' until someone decided to take a potshot at Fisher literally looking too good to be real. It somewhat undercuts the claims of 'all things equal.'

Also - I think you'll find women cop a lot more negative attention when they develop baldness than men do. With men, it's expected, if undesired by some. In women, it's seen as freakish or a sign that something is wrong with them. Hell, when STID had a female helmsmen with a shaved head, people assumed she had to be playing a Deltan.
