Darth Maul and Duel of Fates are the only good things to come out of the prequels.

I still feel that the Ren saber looks terrible and even though we know how the Kyber crystal splits the beam, the cross-guard is still effectively completely useless as a cross-guard unless you use to stab people sideways like in the movie.

In the movie they came across more like vents for a poorly built sword more than anything. He used a beam to dig into Fin's shoulder at one point, but they never established they were useful for anything.

Think we'll see him with a proper sabre soon.

That's why he wanted his grandfather's old lightsaber so badly. I imagine he'll build a proper one once he gets his full training from Snoke

Lightsaber poses are probably the nerdiest thing out there.

Any sort of pose is lame and nerdy as hell because they are so overdone nowadays. Especially the ones where a character lands from some sort of height and tries to look badass in a crouch position.

Here's a pretty good interview with Ahmed Best talking about the experience of being Jar Jar, including stealing the role from Michael Jackson.



Watch to the end for his reading of Liam Neeson's "specific set of skills" speech from Taken as Jar Jar.

For the purpose of tabulating box office results, "Domestic" means U.S. and Canada.
