This moment was so bad people blocked out of their memory. They

>>64472812
Most people didn't really care. Most people aren't autistic.

I did roll my eyes in the theater at that moment, really unnecessary.

Also, I actually did forget that even happened before seeing this thread.

I guess bravo Abrams for going so fast people can't process all the little moments of shit in his movies.

>>64472812
100% true, I forgot about this

When I saw it in the cinema I looked around like "did he actually just do that?" I mean, whose idea was it to put that in? What's it even supposed to show? Han might have been a good shot in the OT, but it's not like he was an ultra edgy badass or something.

Yeah it was awkward. JJ sucks. Also, these expert Hollywood screenwriters cant think of something as simple as Han reaching for his blaster when he says Kylo with Rey but then hesitating and looking down. Would have made their confrontation scene more hardhitting.

>>64472838

that's actually the problem, there isnt one moment where you digest where each character is in their (lack of) arc. You just remember afterwards with some effort

No chance in hell for binary sunset etc

>>64472883
yeah it made me think "is he a force guy now?"

>Same as fighter pilots taking out individual soldiers
Bitch, what are you on about? I strafed the hell out of thousands of battle droids and stormtroopers in the original Battlefront.

>>64472915
i thought that was alright, Han is just frozen without reaction and we see it's a sore spot, he is not out for his son's blood and he'd get killed by the stormtroopers surrounding kylo

>>64472812
The thing is...
...why did Han fly to Maz Kanada's planet anyway?

The whole part of the movie was a rehash of Luke and Obi-Wan's visit of Mos Eisley, except thay nearly anything that Luke and Obi-Wan did in Mos Eisley had sense.

Obi-Wan was looking for a good pilot because they didn't have a ship, and even if they have one Luke wouldn't be as good as the mission demands.

They couldn't leave the droids in Obi-Wan's hut because it was too far from Mos Eisley and because stormtroopers could inspect the house and find the droids.

They had no place to hide the droids, but at least Obi-Wan had mind control skills so there was no actual danger.

In TFA, through, the First Order knew BB8 was onboard of the Millennium Falcon, and the ship was stationed very close to Maz Kanada's castle. And even if they hide it, why bringing the droid inside the castle where there's a lot of potential spies and agents of the First Order? And why after she gave Luke's lightsaber to Finn, Maz is never seen again? In fact, she didn't even help Han deliver the droid safely to the Resistance, since yhe Resistance fleet and officers came to the planet (including Leia).

>>64473041

This. Seriously kid, stop looking for excuses to be angry. It does not make you sound cool or mature.

how does a stormtrooper suddenly start using a lightsaber? how could he even put up a fight against an extremely skilled and highly trained dark jedi?

yeah, but at least editing and shakey cam tries to fix that. Boyega was about as athletic as Ford when he stabs that stormtrooper

Daisy Ridley was by far the most athletic of all the actors, strangely enough

HE SHOOTS SOMEONE WITHOUT LOOKING ?!?!?!
HAN SOLO CONFIRMED A SITH LORD

>>64473242
He shoots a stormtrooper who is several meters behind him without looking. While both of them are in the middle of a battle.

Why is this?

Sounds like something I'd roll my eyes a little and ignore.
Are you guys seriously autisting yourselves over a thing like that?

What happened to Finns rifle he got from Solo?

>>64472812
Yea 100%. Would have given it a pass if he'd missed and just suppressed a guy made him trip up or something so chewie could get him.

I wasn't taking the film too seriously so I don't give a shit if they make Han Solo Bruce Campbell tier.

>>64473304
Fights aren't videogames where your power level dictates whether you'll win or not

JJ was the right person to direct Episode VII

But JJ Abrams is not a good director.

His meticulous and energetic style worked wonders to replicate the feel, imagery and world of the OT. Likewise, he has proven to work well with younger, unexperienced actors. But all of his works since Lost even have been finished with odd plot conveniances, awkward forced character moments, and a distinct feeling that he only works within his comfort zone - inhibiting growth. He might be on the spectrum.

>>64473119
So they could have a space bar scene. The movie is shit.

>>64472838

It was a dumb scene. I actually did block it out, and overall I enjoyed the movie, but it was a stupid scene among a handful stupid scenes.

It's cool, dude, I just want everyone else on /tv/ to be chill as me.

>>64473336

Everyone did do that, as the OP pointed out. It was touches like this that really irked me throughout the film, though. If there had been a full slower, more thoughtful scenes instead of stuff like this, Chewie's bowcaster, and Finn's lame comic relief, it would have been a better film.

>>64473159
>kid
No, anon. You are the fedora.

>>64473306
Ford, i mean cmon tahts not fair

Boyega is just a bit of a fatty but not so much that he thought "i have to prepare to do fake action shit"

Ridley is the actual star and she had to do stuff (and she comes off as more realistic in her running etc)

Driver was good enough in his swordplay but that's mostly just being in decent shape and his height

>>64473189
Have we watched the same movie? Why does everyone say that Finn put a good fight against Kylo?

Kylo was basically toying with him, probably didn't have a lightsaber duel in years so he was eager to swing his lightsaber around finally. Finn was contantly backing up trying to block his attack while Kylo went after him like the terminator slicing trees and hitting rocks around him with no control (cause he isn't a skilled fighter). And only when Finn actually managed to hit Kylo, then Kylo stopped playing and fucked up Finn good quickly

And versus Rey. he didn't even want to kill her, he wanted to get her to the dark side because he saw and felt that she is powerful with the force in the interrogation room. He could have just forcepush or freeze them both if he wanted but he wanted to swing his lightsaber after all these years against an another saber
But that scene where Rey physically overpowers Kylo is unecessery tho, no matter how Kylo is wounded

>>64473369
JJ didn't do anything with Lost other than it's pilot and primary concept (the island) just like he didn't do anything in Fringe either. He has done primarily movies like Star Trek and Super 8, with managing the production company and setting up deals.

>>64473485

people like you are so nerdy they need to contantly fake they dont care and are super chill

Fuck off , it doesn't make it immune from close analysis and criticism because it a film for a wide audience , including children

Boyega is supposed to be a stormtrooper that's been training from childhood. Why is he so fat? Why are his hips so wide?

>>64473525
>Why does everyone say that Finn put a good fight against Kylo?

I didn't say he put up a good fight. He shouldn't have been able to put up a fight at all.

The problem with this joke, and many of the jokes of TFA that involves Han Solo in some way or another, is that not only they doesn't make sense, they also contradict what we know about the character.

Han could be a brave mercenary, but he's not reckless. He wouldn't risk his life for a blind shot.

Han has been many years with Chewbacca, and yet somehow he didn't know the properties and firepower of Chewbacca's bowcaster.

Han says in the original movie that driving through hyperspace requires precise calculations because otherwise they could die by crashing on a planet or flying too close to a star or supernova. Yet he fliesto Starkiller and leaves hyperspace a mere nanoseconds before crashing the planet.

And so on.

>>64473034
Well he fucked a Skywalker, perhaps he got some midiclorions on his dick.

I liked the bowcaster shit and could dismiss it because I just figured Han preferred his blaster and didn't fuck with Chewies shit.

The rest though is spot-on.

>>64473520
They might have originally explained it with throwaway lines of dialogue or extra scenes that got trimmed in the final cut. The script isn't everything.

>>64473119
They were trying to find a clean ship.

iirc Finn even asks why they are going somewhere public and Han replies "so we can find a clean ship"

So yeah it kinda makes sense.

>>64473119
I have these very thick glasses with like a zoom lens to inspect Finn. Must have pretty bad eyesight or something. But I take them of completely when I talk about more personal things. I can actually see fine without them jk.

Poe taking out individual soldiers was so it'd seem impressive but since it's a thing that's possible now you just think "huh i guess that's a thing now, so it's not impressive"

they dont establish earlier that usually a fighter is like the real world in how it hits things

glib facsimile

>>64472812
The movie was a cringefest the entire way, this was the least offensive thing in a sea of others.

>>64473698
Even worse, Chewbacca's bowcaster acted like any gun in the OT, which is why it was never important enough to mention it, yet in TFA it is so powerful that it wins over any single other gun.

And yet Han never payed attention to it.

>>64473779
tell that to kanjiklub

>>64473119
It's best not to think about it.

As soon as they left Jakku the entire fucking thing became DUDE NOSTALGIA LMAO.

>>64473757
meanwhile all this is happening and Han is just sitting there off screen, "where's my clean ship? they can track the falcon" just waiting for the 1st order

Did anyone else cringe when the little musical stings played for the old characters appearing?

>>64473656
Well by now he's an old pro and can aim a blaster with his eyes closed and can manage the hyperspace on his ship like a champ. How'd you not pick up on that?

Thinking back on it, it didn't initially bother me. Okay TIES are weak and have no shields, maybe those X-Wing guns didn't need to be that strong to blow them up.

But then, Poe flies into Starkiller and proceeds to fuck it up internally with single shots to multiple components. I mean, it's fucking Star Wars so who gives a fuck, but it's inconsistent as fuck.

>>64473656
>>64473656
Love it when anons put "And so on" etc after only 3 arguments because they don't have anymore

So you would like every character to stay the same forever? Even after 30 years of living everyone would stay the same? Now that would be boring and not creative

But I give you the bowcaster thing tho

holy shit, this thread is literally an autistic circle jerk. I don't see a single voice that seems human, let alone a voice of reason. you are all such bad people.

ah so that's the joke?

He's like a really chilled cool badass at everything because he's a veteran of this universe and knows everything?

>>64473771
Yeah I think the biggest problem with the fight scenes were this. Everything that happened had already been done to death in previous SW movies, even in the cartoons, so nothing stands out. The only moments I can recall are Kylo burning Finn's shoulder (because it was the only time he actually did something with the otherwise useless extra vents) and the trick shot with the Falcon's broken cannon.

>>64473656
>implying the hyperspeed entry didn't require meticulous calculations

>>64473946
use the force m8

I once read that Bowcasters were too heavy for people to handle, that's why Han's gun was a blaster and only Chewie had a Bowcaster.

I don't think this was from the OT, maybe established in the old EU that Disney jettisoned.

>>64473750
I got that line, but it still doesn't explain why parking the Falcon so close to Maz's castle, or why carrying the droid instead of leaving it inside the Falcon.

Obi-Wan and Luke didn't have a place to hide the droids. They only relied on Obi-Wan's mind tricks to avoid the storntroopers. Han had a place to hide BB8 and yet he didn't care.

Why is also important to prevent the First Order to know the location of the Resistance planet? If the First Order attacks the planet, the Republic would be forced to counterattack. If the First Order is so big and powerful it threatens the Resistance, there's no need to establish a secret military group, the First Order is already too powerful for the Republic to ignore its thread.

It doesn't make sense.

>>64473887
But it was well done nostalgia that strove to capture the atmosphere and tone of prior films (especially the binary sunset scene) rather than simply shoving in as much references as possible.

>>64473750

Yes they do why do you think this movie was a success

>>64473897
i assumed a single weakest shot would pop a blast of around 3-4 feet with the precision of a fighter (ie not much, so you blast things around it until you get one, same as firing and leading a machine gun in a helicopter)

>>64473986

Yeah you're right. I really liked the slower, less wacky parts at the start.

>>64473927
The behind the back shot and hyperspace scene didn't really seem like jokes. They were tricks han had under his sleeve that are totally expected. He's a risk taker and kind of a show off, now he's had 30+ yes experience living that life. Youd figure he'd be pretty skilled.

>>64473999

It was a success because it is Star Wars.

Do you really think people get out of the cinema and tell all of their friends to go to see TFA because it is the best Star Wars ever?

Everybody I've talked with irl were like "Yeah... it was fun i guess..." at best. Nobody liked it being a rehash. Nobody thought it was a good film.

>>64474022
Tell that to Kanji Club

the entire maz sequence was just embarrassing in almost every conceivable way

also I would love to know what the fuck happened to all of abrams talk about physicality, he literally talks about yoda being more authentic as a puppet but then they go and use a terrible CGI effect anyway. I'm left wondering what it was all for

watch abrams talking here and try to reconcile it with what you actually saw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1iXWYWpsZk

>>64474012
That's a sound argument, but then you see Chewbaccas Bowcaster doing similar levels of damage and it's a hand-held weapon with no recoil.

>>64473981
Probably so they don't blow the resistance up with their super gun after they just eliminated the republics capital planets.

>>64473999

Disney.

It's like "The Thing" effect. They had a movie nearly finished with practical effects already built and stopped the movie....inserted CGI and basically ruined it. I wouldn't be surprised in the next couple of years to learn that Maz was going to be a puppeted character and Disney said no because kids need cartoons in their movies.

I'm not blaming JJ for Maz, yet.

>>64474236

It sucks because it's the same scene as Hawkeye shooting down the alien ship in Avengers without looking except done even shittier. Fuck Disney and assembly line writing.

>>64473981
Think about it like this:

A couple guys rob a bank, and steal a ton of cash. the cops know the vehicles license plate number and that the guys have bags of cash. One of the thiefs suggests going to a bar nearby, where the owner might be able to hook them up with a different car. They park outside the bar, and expecting this to go pretty quickly, bring the bags of cash in with them. Not wanting to overinvolve himself, the bar owner makes the thieves explain everything, taking longer than expected. While this is happening, an off-duty cop at the bar reports what he sees. Pretty soon the place is swarming with cops so the thieves' only getaway choice us the car they originally drove in.

>>64473900
Why does Han takes Chewbacca and Finn to a critical mission such as sabotaging the Starkiller's shields? He took an entire team of rebel soldiers for Endor.

Why is Han piloting a damn big Star Destroyer sized ship and finds the Falcon near Jakku, yet the Falcon isn't chase by yet another squadron of TIE Fighters or a Star Destroyer? We know a Star Destroyer was near Jakku at the beginning of the movie. We know the TIE Fighters which were chasing the Falcon on Jakku were warned after a pair of stormtrooopers found BB8. We know the Falcon was chased by Star Destroyers after leaving Tatooine, because the officers onboard were informed by local stormtroopers who were searching for R2D2 and C3PO. So why this time the Falcon can be found by Han himself (and Han's freighter by a pair of smuggler mobs) but the First Orden can't?

it was a cool moment
it's not like suddenly the movie was ruined and hans character was forever raped

>>64474092

>>64474327

It actually makes sense with Hawkeye, since it's kind of hard to show superpowered accuracy when it's not that difficult for a real life person to hit a moving target with a bow and arrow.

Maybe the reason it was in TFA is that Han is secretly Snoke

>>64474371

Luke hitting the reactor to the deathstar is way less believable than Han blind hitting a trooper running right at him

>>64474513

the binary sunset is her looking at the old woman and being conflicted about waiting forever

>>64474317
she puts on a rebel helmet, so you see she wants to be a resistance pilot of some sorts one day. So the flying of the Millenium Falcon is justified
And some anons said that on the helmet are the letters RHEI or some shit like that so that mind wipe theory could be plausible (but I don't like it)

One of the worst things about the movie for me was that there was no real tension or sense of danger in any of the scenes except for the lightsaber fight at the very end. The goddamn garbage masher scene in ANH had more suspense in it than anything in TFA.

>>64474620
I would largely agree, but Han confronting Kylo was pretty tense imo.

>You can tell by their use of language and their failure to grasp even the simplest nuances of the English language.

Why does it matter that Han is no longer a general?

The entire Resistance is run by Leia.
The Resistance itself exists because a bunch of people took the First Order as an actual thread. Why wouldn't give Han freaking Solo all the resources he could use?

How is the Falcon leaving the planet from the other side if Rey lives a mere hours of distance from the local town when that old guy with a part of Luke's map resides? Why did Luke leave Rey so close to that old man, anyway?

Han ditched because he upset about his son. He didnt want to be part of the resistance anymore. He wanted to go back to "the only thing he was ever any good at." This was also explained clearly.

>>64474665
the old man is the leader of a Force Church, so it's possible that he was watching over her without her knowing it

The lightsaber falls down a hole off into Bespin and Luke makes another one.

>>64472812

The guns on the new x-wings are computer controlled and target independent of one another.

>>64474776
We don't know if it fell into Bespin. One of those hairy midgets probably found it in the depths of cloud city or something.

>>64474776
She said she has a story for another time about how she got it.

I guess I just took that at face value.

>>64474776
not him but so? maz says "it's a story for another time"

the only bad thing about it's that its lost in V represents Luke losing his dad's lightsaber as well as the image of his dad and his whole self, his purpose (while gaining a new one) etc

>>64474576
Why would the Resistance fly straight to their base? The Rebels only did that when they thought they would have an easy and quick win, otherwise they never used straight paths.

Why is so important for the Resistance to make the Falcon join their fleet? Why couldn't Han gave BB8 to Leia and leave them, at least for a short time?

How was the Falcon marked anyway? They put a signal when the ship was parked in the Death Star. But in Jakku, the ship was just in a junkyard.

>>64474837

>it's a story for another time

The whole thing is an exercise in pandering and fan service.

>>64474856
han marked it, it was far off and it set off when it started to fly

that bit is ok, the problem is in how it's told and the pace

Yep, when i saw this scene i couldnt belive what i just saw. I told my gf that we are leaving and left the cinema. Sorry for bad english i am european

>>64474856

>Why would the Resistance fly straight to their base?

Because the capital was blown away and they had to gather all their remaining forces to attack Starkiller Base. Think before you shitpost at least.

>>64474776
The lightsaber did not fall into bespin. If you watch the bluray you will clearly see the thing falling with luke out the bottom of cloud city is not the hand+lightsaber.

>>64472926

Where did it go? I'm pretty sure it went down the hole before (SPOILER ALERT) Darth tell Luke he's his father.

>>64474731
I GOT THAT, and that's what I'm not saying.

What I am saying is that it doesn't matter if Han is not a general, because this time Leia is running the Resistance. And even if she isn't, there's also Admiral Acbkar in the background.

Why is Maz saying the Resistance needs Han, and when Han finally joins the fight they didn't suggest him to infiltrate the Starkiller with a team like he did in Endor? The fate of the Resistance and the entire galaxy relies on Han's shoulders? Why does he takes Chewbie and Finn as his only companions in the mission?

What I'm trying to say is that why is everyone in the Republic so incompetent.

Why was all the Republic fleet stationed in the galactic capital?

And if the fleet wasn't completely destroyed, why aren't they joining the battle against Starkiller Base?

Doesn't also realize that no one at Starkiller knew the location of their planet? What was them preventing the Falcon from flying to the Resistance planet and then joining the Resistance fleet at Starkiller? Or very close to Starkiller?

The Falcon joined the Rebel fleet after the Yavin IV battle had already begun. Nothing prevented the Falcon to do it again this time.

The only difference is that Starkiller creates its own planetary shield, instead of a remote shield generator being installed near the battlestation. But it doesn't matter they can't attack the station, because the station itself can't destroy their base, unless the Falcon joins them.

What? No. He said he was stationed on the Totally-not-Deathstar. When Han asked him just what his duties were he said he was a janitor, meaning that he was a janitor but lied about being more important so the resistance would let him go. After all that he's still a curious soldier to send on the super cereal mission to capture not-R2D2.

How is Han only noticing Chewie's gun in that scene? Didn't Chewie have it for decades?

How else was JJ going to subtly show that the bowcaster was powerful as shit? Just have Chewie blow shit up with it, or have one of the new cast that aren't actually familiar with it comment? That's stupid.

>Didn't Chewie have it for decades?
What's your point? Maybe Han never say Chewie use it...well outside of the entire OT where Chewie uses it all the fucking time, and all the implied times he'd been through shit with Chewbacca before...

>>64475635
Which is fucking awful writing.

That still doesn't explain why didn't Han take a small force. Or why didn't Han react towards Finn lying.

The younger Han would have really being pissed by a kid endangering their lifes for such a stupid reason.

Even if they were already at Starkiller and thus being forced to complete their mission, why wouldn't Han be a little more suspicious towards Finn?

In fact, didn't he say "listen, big fish, you have another problem. Women always find the truth. Always" to Finn earlier before meeting Maz?

Why would Han believe Finn's story about being a janitor later?

He did. Which was annoying cuz he was just like "I know this dude is lying, but I don't care about his true motives and trust him completely! I'm going to trust his actions without thinking"

You mean the part where they flew just far enough in to hide in a large asteroid before flying back out? Yeah. I also loved that it was considered fucking crazy and the sort of thing that only a mad, seasoned, ace pilot with thousands of hours in his ship would attempt.

I mean, that's completely comparable to a girl with no formal training, running into a barely functioning ship that had been sitting for years, and proceeding to fly through the skeletal frame of crashed star destroyers, while fucking engaged in a dogfight with SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and more nimble craft.

It was fairly quipy. The issue with Abrams writing is that you can ALWAYS tell who his favorite character is because he exclusively writes self-insert Mary Sues.

In Star Trek OS, Kirk is the series protagonist with an excellent ensemble crew. In Abrams Trek, Spock is clearly and by far the protagonist(even with the story opening with Kirk it's clear that Spock is the central focus. So much so, that Kirk's love interest from OS, Uhura, is rewritten as Spock's love interest). Spock is the cleverest, bravest, strongest, "sexiest" character.

In Star Wars it's overwhelmingly obvious that Abrams chose Rey.

>>64476360
He just knew that that guy was a former stormtrooper, not that he did not know shit.

Its a Star Wars film made by DISNEY.

Disney has so much money, they could hire an army of Star Wars experts to work on the film to make sure there are no stupid mistakes.

INSTEAD we get a Stormtrooper that can block a lightsaber with a stun baton. This is BLATANT sloppy film-making. Star Wars has been around for 40 years, such mistakes are unforgivable.

People pointing out mistakes in The Force Awakens have a legitimate reason to do so. You cant just say "autism" and brush it off, some of the mistakes made in the movie should have never of happened.

>>64476292

No one is saying they don't exist. It's just that it's not like it's a big deal.

>>64476193
>This time is far more powerful for some reason

The reason being JJ Abrams does not give a fuck about continuity or getting details right. He even admitted this as one of the reasons he turned down directing TFA when he was initially asked to do it.

>>64476356
Maybe being entirely hostile towards him the rest of the movie?

The thing that kills me is that Ep VII has been in production/pre-production for YEARS. How was Abrams not laboriously going over every detail? He seems like such a soulless piece of shit. Like he honestly put the script together over a month and then decided that it was done enough. Other cast and crew members(including designers and set builders) worked for YEARS preparing for the film. What the fuck was Abrams doing with his time? It just seems so fucking disrespectful to the rest of the artists and crew to be so sloppy.

Practically a remake of star wars/return of the jedi, creative death, too may call backs

Pacing is way too fast

Main character has all the qualities of a mary sue except that she can't be an author self-insert. Regardless the story reaps all the consequences of a mary sue.

THE BIGGEST FUCKING PROBLEM: The main characters don't have any arcs. The movie is dramatically and thematically flat. This is why everyone likes the movies yet few people love it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_arc

This is pretty much the entire point of making a movie like this. No characters are internally changed or fulfilled in a way that's meaningful to the audience.

The movie is not solid. It's well made visually most of the time, the characters are likeable and it's funny. That's all there is nice to say about it.

Its a simple stun baton, not a Magna Guard staff. There is NOTHING in the batons description in the SW book showing the weapons that says it is lightsaber resistant OR that it has Magna Guard staff technology.

Stop spewing this bullshit, JJ ABRAMS DIDNT USE ANYTHING FROM THE PREQUELS in TFA, so why the fuck would he have Stormtroopers using Magna Guard staffs?

>>64472812

I hope it was another example of Harrison Ford ad-libbing. It was just his way of letting everyone know how little he gives a shit about the scene directions.

>>64476701
>except that she can't be an author self-insert

I'm not sure this is true. No reason why JJ can't view himself as a perfect little sand waifu.

>>64476631
did you not think it was weird that a soldier is hit when he is right next to han

even a sniper wont take out someone holding a hostage

>>64476273
Why would Chewbacca upgrade his bowcaster without telling Han?

Why wouldn't the movie explain he has just recently upgraded the weapon and there was no battle to use it before the events of the movie, yet they had no problem to make C3PO to talk to the audience about his new red arm?

>>64476668

Why the fuck do you have to mentally ignore that some old scoundrel who has an mutated dog with a crossbow as buddy shoots a space nazi with a lasergun without looking on a planet in a galaxy far far away?

Because all fiction has rules. They can be different than our world or they can be the same, but all fiction has rules. Once the rules of your fictional world have been established, they must be respected/followed. Failing to do this reminds the audience that what they're witnessing is fiction. The fact that the fiction is silly or otherwise childish doesn't matter.

>>64476426
Perfection isn't the only quality of a mary sue

Everyone important likes the mary sue, and the story revolves around the mary sue

Kirk and Spock can't stand each other, which pretty much saved the movie. Also spock isn't the main character, which also saved the movie.

Rey is worse than spock because the story revolves around her, everyone likes her, the villain is obsessed with her for seemingly no reason, and she never struggles internally or with obstacles, she's good at everything and handles everything by herself.

Rey is an elevated level of what the fuck for JJ

Yeah, it's probably this movie that features impossible stunts.

Yeah and that shot is within the rules established for Han Solo. A badass smuggler.
I bet you it would have perfectly fitted in the OT too.

>>64476598
Neither Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back had such big plot holes or weird scenes that makes you scratch your head for weeks after watching them.

The closest to it is Leia allowing the Empire to track the Falcon to Yavin IV, but then you could argue there was no way they could buy or request a clean ship in another planet, since the entire Empire is looking for the Falcon.

Whereas since Return of the Jedi the franchises have sloppy, lazy stories were pretty much nothing makes sense.

>>64476460
ANH and Empire weren't mindless action movies.

There's actually a lot of melancholy and expression in those films.

umm, no, It actually much faster paced then ANH due to no "off to see the hermit" section.

plot holes
. Rey becomes nearly as effective a Force-user in a few hours as Luke Skywalker did in a few years.

ust minutes before Starkiller Base explodes, Supreme Leader Snoke tells Hux to go get Kylo Ren and take him off the planet. Unfortunately, Ren had recently (unbeknownst to Hux) run into the woods like a lunatic, leaving no information about his whereabouts. It's no problem, though, because Hux apparently has special Kylo Ren GPS and (one assumes) goes right to the spot in the middle of the forest where Ren is bleeding to death; otherwise, Ren would have died on the planet along with everybody else from the First Order.

For that matter, why is it made to seem like the entire Republic is centered in just one star system? Let alone one whose planets and moons are all visible to one another with the naked eye?

Why wasn't the Resistance able to access R2D2's data archives at any point over the course of the many years Luke was gone?

Rey says that the Millennium Falcon is "garbage" and hasn't been flown in many, many years. Indeed, it's such junk, in her view, that she won't even board it when she's about to be ripped to pieces by twenty Tie Fighters. Then she gets on board and it basically flies perfectly. So much so that it's not at all clear why no one has been flying it, let alone why its owner (Unkar Plutt) hasn't tried to sell it at any point over the past dozen years -- despite the fact that Plutt appears to live in a hovel.

Why do the Rathtars immediately kill every human they encounter -- except Finn, who is randomly dragged off just long enough to be rescued?

and so on

Seen as the culmination of Luke's arch when he finally understands Obi Wan and lets himself feel the Force. The entire film builds toward this moment and it's seen a huge thing that is monumentally important, and the surge of emotion functions as the film's climax.

One of these things is not like the others, and the rest have always been criticized heavily. What point are you even trying to make?

It's the only correct one, incidently.

>>64477096
Again, relatable human elements in a fucking sci-fi space movie are a long shot to base yourself on when talking about a lucky shot - it's literally not a big deal. Autism more strongly relates to the obsession over shit people are expressing here. Letting shit slide, which no one seems to be able to do, is what the autist can't either.

>>64476907
In Star Wars you had like 20 minutes of the droids wandering on Tatooine.
You have Obi-Wan's long conversation with Luke about his father, the Force, Leia, the Death Star and the Jedis.
You have all that time they spend on Mos Eisley looking for a pilot, then selling their car and searching for Docking Bay 94.
You have Obi-Wan helping Luke with his training.
You have all the time they spend sneaking around in the Death Star.

In TFA you don't even have a single scene of Han Solo acting towards Rey as a parental figure, and yet the movie tells us Rey looks at him like a father. The closest is Han inviting Rey to join him and Chewbie, but that's it.

>>64475514
How is he interesting? He's a marginally better acted Anakin, still held back by the fact that his character is defined only as emotional.

His motivation isn't there, his goals aren't clearly established. He was just another undeveloped element in this mess of a movie. Like they couldn't figure out if it was about finding Luke, blowing up Death Star 3, or dealing with Han/Leia/Ren and their family problems.

>>64477177
Wait. Are you telling me something happens after they leave Jakku?

>>64476960
>A badass smuggler
>exits cover and instantly knows where to fire without aiming or even looking first and, of course, deadshots the bad guy.

Actually, the established rules are that only Jedi and other force sensitives can "sense" people. The argument might be made that Han has always been force sensitive and is only displaying his innate force power, but that's a fucking stretch. As it is, the scene is fucking dumb.

>>64472812

All of that "weird, random shit" follows the universes established rules, meaning that it's neither weird nor random.

Consider how you might react if Gandalf suddenly pulled an AK-47 out of his robes during the siege of Gondor and began mowing down orcs. I mean, it's all just stupid magic right? What does it matter. Well, as it turns out, it matters quite a lot.

>prequel fans and TFA fans arguing
That special olympics quote is perfect for this. I can't tell who's baiting and who's genuine.

>>64476907
>How is the script full of gaps in logic? It's quite tight, there arent any plotholes.

Just to name what comes to mind:

The "destiny character" just happens to be right next to the guy who has the map to luke skywalker, she just happens to find the droid first in an area full of scavengers and gets it for free, the millennium falcon just happens to be there, han solo just happens to show up right after they steal it.

The small remnants of the empire manage to build the largest weapon ever without anyone noticing, even when janitor storm troopers had the authority to leave the project planet.

Also, maybe I missed it, where did they get the plans for the star killer to analyze a weakness? Last I remember they asked finn what he knew about it, and in the next scene they have a hologram.

Then there's shit like why does the resistance trust finn? Why send just han solo and finn to disable the shield? Why send rey to contact luke? These are theory of mind leaks. The audience knows finn is trustworthy, the audience knows han solo has plot armor to a point and doesnt need help, the audience knows it's rey's calling to meet luke, but the resistance doesn't know any of this.

>And the pacing is pretty much ANH verbatim.

It's not. Watch Star Wars again. The pacing on jakku is perfect, after that, there are no "slow" scenes. Compare shit like the death star attack plan, or the rogue squadron roll call. They blurt out how to destroy the star killer, and the pre-game before the x-wing assault happens in hyperspace to "keep the energy and showrunning going".

>>64477373
"dude everything is magic bullshit anyway, it's all shit, let me like it and stop saying it's shit"

>>64477226
Not that anon, but the movie does build to that moment.

>Luke is introduced to the force early on
>listens to opposing opinions of the force between Ben and Han
>begins basic training but remains skeptical; continues to whine
>is about to trust his computer and fail again on the Death Star assault until Obi Wan intervenes
>succeeds and gains an understanding and appreciation of the force

>>64477240
A Men in Black style scene is followed after it.

Also, the Falcon isn't chased by the Star Destroyer that was orbiting the planet, despite the earlier TIE Fighters didn't appear from nowhere.

>>64476928
I love how kylo starts calling her "the girl" in this really hateful way when as far as he's concerned she should just be some random person

>>64477385
Also what wakes up R2-D2? It's like they wrote that in, but they never had an idea for the event that would trigger it. So he just wakes up and spits out the map piece because the plot requires it.

>>64476635
thats the impression I got. like he put no effort into it whatsoever and everyone else was too scared of losing their job to question anything

>>64477540
The Force Awakens... R2D2 at the end.

>>64477373

And this is equal to the most famous rogue scoundrel landing a backfired shot?

>>64477540
Obviously Luke gave him instructions to wake up at a specific time.

>>64477385
Solo went to Starkilled to help Finn and to take his son home, like he promised Leia.
Finn lied, he said he knew everything about how to disable the thermal thing, but he only wanted to save Rey.

They only sent them because
I) It was a stealth mission, since the planet was packed with enemies and they needed to avoid being seen
II) They needed a shit ton of troops in the actual air strike

Also, it wasn't a very well thought plan, they needed to hurry the fuck up before the weapon was charged and destroyed the planet system where the resistance is located.

>>64476193
That thing hit a speeder bike on Endor and instantly exploded it.

>>64477670
If you mean a character(Gandalf) suddenly gaining a power/ability(an AK-47) that he has no business wielding/having, then yes. Granted it's hyperbolic, but that provides emphasis on the issue that might otherwise be missed.

Why does pointing it out that you roll your eyes and ignore that scene makes TFA fans so mad?

It's just some silly thing you can ignore in a otherwise supposedly good overall movie.

People got really mad

>>64477835
their love is fragile, anon

a tiny thing is a buzzkill

>>64477670
why would Han do it anyway?
Han backfires when he's doing anything else. His body seems a little relaxed, as in "there's no potentially lethal danger extremely close".

He only does that because it's cool for the audience.

In ESB he didn't do all the close fly-bys at the asteroid field because it was cool. He did that because he was trying to escape from the imperial fleet. And even he knew it was extremely risky.

Han blind firing a stormtrooper would have been the equivalent of Han controlling one of the Falcon's turrets and firing towards all incoming TIE Fighters... except one of them, which he reserves for the ending.

>>64477716
>Obviously Luke gave him instructions to wake up at a specific time.
This is even more stupid than Luke telepathically awakening the robot from across the galaxy. For this to work, Luke would have needed to predict, down to the day, the moment the Starkiller would be destroyed. He'd also need to predict that the Starkiller would not only exist at all, BUT destroy several planets and BILLIONS of people. That's fucking insane.

>>64474141
>they're not geeks watching it 2 times or more
Poor normies will never know the euphoria of being a geek.

>>64477804
No, it didn't. It hit the bike which then immediately crashed into a tree and exploded.

>>64477926
Luke knows that history repeats itself. He probably force-programmed R2 to turn on some time after a certain number of people died.

>>64477926
You're being a little dense anon. Luke didn't give him a date and time, gave him a specific event that would trigger his awakening. Notice that it only happened when Rey entered the resistance base.
There are theories about it but we can only know for sure when the next movies clear that up.

>>64477835
i created this thread hoping to just shitpost and shoot the shit until later

i didnt expect to go so fast and furious

>>64477716
>Obviously Luke gave him instructions to wake up at a specific time.

What is the point of that? How does he know when a good or a bad time to wake up is? How likely is it that he would wake up at the first opportunity they have to use the 2nd map piece?

I) It was a stealth mission, since the planet was packed with enemies and they needed to avoid being seen
II) They needed a shit ton of troops in the actual air strike

Ground troops aren't pilots and pilots aren't ground troops. In star wars, they attempt to disable the tractor beam and save the princess with no help because they were captured and didn't have that luxury. When they set out to destroy the shield generator in ROTJ, they took a team of commandos. ROTJ had shoddy writing but even george lucas gave them a feasible plan. Instead han solo and finn go on a suicide mission because that's where the writers wanted to put screen time. I can see why they did it, because in ROTJ the commandos got no screen time and actually appeared out of no where when they were needed. But it's still sloppy writing.

>>64477804
The bikes were supposed to be cheap and eady to destroy.

Their only advantages is that they're damn fast and that they also have laser guns to use towards slower, easy, isolated targets. They certainly wouldn't last against an entire team of soldiers, and they also need to avoid blasts or traps like rope.

>>64478126
This is the problem with TFA. Yes, most of this stuff is potentially explainable in the sequel, but its the big mysteries that should go unexplained, not less significant gaps in the plot.

>>64475084
Thats the best part, when Finndu reveals to them how big the the new "Starkiller base"(original content donut steal) in comparison to the old death star, and everyone is like mind blown, but the fucking hologram was there the entire time, he didnt load it up or anything, why would they not know this before? Where did they get that hologram from, why would they get it, why did no one see "Oh there is the new "First order" (as if empire was redundant by now, so we need a new name riht?) building this whole planet into a 5 times death star, but then some random chink comes up with the solution as if it was nothing, and finndu says yeah there is a thermal generator, lets just do as we did 30 years before, fuck that shit up, and then Han dies and Leia doesnt give a shit and she only cares about the new girl because she never talked to her more then 15 minutes and chewie? Who the fuck is he, she doesnt even console the guy who just lost his friend of probably 40+ years? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?

This was the worst flick ever, If I wanted to see a Marvel flick I would watch capeshit, I wanted star wars you goddamn jewish motherfucker.

Maybe R2-D2 woke up because he's a little bitch who wants to get fucked by that little round droid; Notice how he wants his "map" filled by R2-D2v2's smaller "map" piece

R2 just wants a gay lover, no need to read anything into it

Fuck, I can't even remember if he is the one with the small piece or the large piece. Nevermind, some droid wants to fuck the other droid, no doubt about it

>>64478428

Its a simple Magna Guard staff, not a lightsaber. There is NOTHING in the staff's description in the SW book showing the weapons that says it is lightsaber resistant OR that it has lightsaber technology.

Stop spewing this bullshit, GEORGE LUCAS DIDNT USE ANYTHING FROM THE ORIGINALS IN RotS, so why the fuck would he have Magna Guards using lightsabers?
