3) How did R2 know when to wake up?
Easy answer: J.J. Abrams is a bad storyteller. |

Then why, with his interstellar Force abilities, didn't he simply sabotage SKB on a FUBAR level and wipe their forces out, and therefore saving the galaxy?
Like I have said for multiple things, convenience. You know, like the nuke in Avengers taking out the mothership, and then all the aliens conveniently dying Phantom Menace style. |

I figured he wasn't completely off but in a standby/low power mode and he turned on when he realized BB-8 had the map or BB-8 sent him a signal. I mean really, droids shouldn't have to communicate to each other through their vocoders

Then he should have turned on when BB-8 first uncovered him. I'm sorry, but y'all are gonna lose this argument. The movie SUCKED. It sucked worse than Darkness Falls. :-O< |

Point! This is the best positive take I could find on TFA, which is wisely more focused on impact than what actually happens in the movie: http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/why-the-force-awakens-is-the-star-wars-movie-we-needed-20160108 |

The best thing about TFA was Rey, Han, and Chewie.

The best thing about TFA was that it ended. The movie we needed would have one or more of the following elements: Yuuzhan Vong Mara Jade Grand Admiral Thrawn (played by Cumberbatch) Nuff said |
