Throwing water into lava may not be a good idea has been added as a related post - related requested by Eklek on that post.

Steam explosion. The lava is so much hotter than the boiling point of water that it converts from liquid to vapor very rapidly, that rapid expansion is the explosion. With an oil fire, it's much worse because the oil fire typically only burn on the surface where it is in contact with air. Adding water and a steam explosion throws the oil into the air allowing all the oil made air born to also catch fire and burn.

I would think the lava would vapourize the snow and ice within feet of itself, but the frozen comes up right next to the molten.

Weird. All you need is the guy humming "Work at Home" and I'd being thinking it's just better CGI than this: https://videosift.com/video/That-Time-You-Were-Completely-Unaware-A-Bear-Was-Chasing-You

It's pizza juice.
And when it pools in those pepperoni cups it becomes a molten lava hot. You take one bite and that hot "olive oil" sears the roof of your mouth until it blisters and then you can't taste anything for the next 3 days because chunks of blistered skin are hanging from the roof of your mouth.

Fuck hot pizza juice!

Wow, absolutely the opposite reaction to me.

I thought Rogue One was a travesty of film making. The characters were bland and underdeveloped, the plot made little sense and the dialogue was awful. The only redeeming aspect were the special / practical effects and art.

I would criticise Force Awakens for treading safe in replicating the plot of A New Hope to a ridiculous degree but the characters had a sense of identity, purpose and relatability. Most of the set pieces (Han Solo, Jakku, Falcon escape) were memorable.

The lightsaber battle definitely suffered from FX over-use. What made the one in Empire Strikes Back compelling is the austere focus of it as a battle of wills. At least this one was less ridiculous than the lava clusterfuck of Revenge of the Sith.

For Kylo Ren, a lot will depend on whether he remains a bland, corrupted villain or develops into a repentant anti-hero. Hopefully they won't follow the Vader/Emperor arc too closely. In any case, he's certainly going to take back seat to Snoke as primary villain.

I'm sorry, this is silly science. Maybe I'm jaded, but if you want to study the reaction of lava going into water, this is happening every day (now) at Kilauea. But the ending piece of alarmism over phreatomagmatic explosions being triggered by water injected into magma is nonsense - researchers and private sector drillers have drilled into magma in Hawaii and in Iceland with no adverse affect at the surface.

Lava. You can't beat lava...

THE WATER IS LAVA!!!!!

The floor is lava. The floor is frikkin' lava!
