I just watched it last year (two months ago), and it was an instant favorite. |

It was convenient that the knife in evidence was common enough that the guy could buy one just like it off the street  |

But TFA or any Star Wars is just as believable. Just because it isn't as likely to happen doesn't mean it couldn't. He happened to find the right knife, R2 happened to wake up on cue. Never tell me the odds.

he's old tech, maybe it took him a while to boot up
Uh.........no. Not being perfect isn't an excuse for a bad, unmotivated story decision.
ALL THE POINTS!!!!!!! I can't seem to find anything that really detracted from ESB,................. until Lucas started re-editing everything he touched.  That's the way to think But TFA or any Star Wars is just as believable. Just because it isn't as likely to happen doesn't mean it couldn't. He happened to find the right knife, R2 happened to wake up on cue. Never tell me the odds.
You two sound like a damned after-school special. |

3) How did R2 know when to wake up?
That's pretty easy when one considers what changed between the first time we see him in the film and the time we finally wakes up. Rey is on the planet. We don't know just how the various Skywalkers have upgraded this droid's sensors, but we do know he tends to be able to fine what he is looking for. Best guess is that Luke set up some parameters for R2 to turn on, and whatever they were, they were in place after Rey arrived. If R2 has s force sensitive detector that is designed to filter out Leia and Ben because Luke's not looking for them, R2 could be looking for Luke's next student to arrive. Are if we are to assume that Luke is aware of her somehow, he's have set R2 to activate if she ever turned up. You know how the Skywalkers can get when they get visions of the future. |

Sure, I still like my explanation better, but this one isn't bad. |
