When you don't use an actual Star Wars image and use shit anime as an OP image, people generally ignore it.

So since the super weapon was basically an EU construct can we expect Snoke to perform a Force Storm?

>Outside of Aniken no one is wooden in the PT

Actually Hayden at least in RotS is good. His expressions and body languade are spot-on. It's just that he's hit particularly hard by uninspired dialogue. And it might be argued that in Ep.2 he was supposed to portray a socially awkward teenager who doesn't know to deal with both his hormones and hidden psychopathic tendencies. Ewan McGregor was in a better position as an actor, because snarky and somewhat dickish types like young Obi-Wan are naturally appealing to the audience.

>>78223750
Everyone acts wooden in the prequels, especially Hayden in AOTC, Portman, Jackson and even Neeson. (He even admitted it)
The only exceptions are McDiarmid and McGregor, honestly.

Yes I do. You've messed up several time but at least you actually cared and weren't Hollywood's lapdog for mediocrity. You've made some missteps but at least you tried bringing something new to the silver screen.

Well these threads are starting to get pretty insufferable see you when Rebels starts back.

I can't believe they managed to make a bigger bitch than Prequel Anakin, but good lord, he was worse than Robot Chicken Darth Vader in terms of everything.

And we have to endure this whiny little punk for two more movies.

No, and anyone who does is a literal retard and should kill himself.

>>78224197
Well, the way you directed the actors was awful, but you had vision and your films always had at least 4-5 memorable moments a piece.

Unlike this generic waste of space in both senses of the word.

>>78224516

No new episodes of rebels for awhile right?

>>78224575
No, not until next year.

>>78224197
I have no desire to see TFA since he's not behind it.

It's sad I look forward to Rebels then this movie.

>>78222961
I wish one of them was dressed as R2. Still neat though.

>>78223750
>>78223839
And then they literally became wooden in The Clone Wars

I will say that I liked Finn. Felt like a bonafide anti-hero who was nonetheless likeable despite how he'd occasionally let fear and self-interest dictate his actions.

Despite his background, he seemed like a typical guy thrust into a horrendous situation that just wanted out. Relatable, believable, and his character growth was pretty satisfying all-around.

>>78224197
Well you had vision, and at least you didn't care about what the fans thought.

>>78224456
He's not wrong though. Despite all his injuries he still should have been able to defeat Finn in seconds. Hell nothing stopped him from just force pushing him into a tree

Phasma gets killed after Han, Chewie, and Finn unceremoniously throw her into a trash compactor. She doesn't even fire her weapon or do anything of real significance.

She's kind of like Boba Fett-lite.

How was the lightsaber fighting in TFA?

Where's the Force Awakens ost?

>>78225045

What happens to him? Were the rumors true about him being blinded?

>>78225157
It doesn't get released until the 18th

>>78225045
What really pissed me off about the guy was how his actor flubbed the callback to this sequence. Harrison Ford really brought it, but Adam Driver was just so bad:

I thought Gwen was supposed to be coming back in the next movie? Fuck me if she doesn't.

>>78225204
Chewbacca snipes him after he murders Han.

>>78225246
They don't show her dying, but Han has Finn throw her into the garbage and she's not shown escaping Death Star 3.0. She never even takes off the helmet.

>>78225286
She never even takes off the helmet
And you're saying that's a bad thing?

>>78224456
Kylo Ren can't even beat a novice Jedi in psychic or physical combat.

It's okay he was trained wrong as a joke.

>>78224430
He wasn't fully trained either, and already wounded, then wounded again. I would say at that point a Force sensitive using a lightsaber for the first time has a chance, when guided by the force.
He also just learned a relative died, give the guy a break.
His voices were ok, but I saw it in another language so eh, what do I know. I can't take his actual face seriously though.

>>78225551
Man, could it be on a worse file host site?

>>78224984
I like him too. I wish we had more time with him before he defects, but that wasn't really possible, it would have fucked the whole beginning of the movie.

>>78225629
>Man, could it be on a worse file host site?
Ikr? Its all I have right now though until I get home. I'll rehost it in the MEGA in the OP

>>78225593
>already wounded

Yes, because it's not like he could dodge, deflect, or stop a single laser blast; the feckless wannabe.

>>78225712
When will file host sites with timers and hourly download limits die?

>>78225671
What I found weird was how the death of one of his Stormtrooper squadmates was apparently what traumatised him, but he's seen killing dozens of them a few scenes later.

This is Annikin, I've reached the sneaking point.

>>78225755
I think he has less issue when he knows it's for 'The greater good'.
Also his life is on the line.

>>78225155
I like it. Remember the usual speech about how prequel lightsaber fighting is highly choreographed, but tend to lack emotion while the original is the opposite?
Well I would say TFA is halfway of both.

>>78225155
Pretty bad. Mostly because of Kylo. His best performance was when he slashed a bunch of computer screens. It's all downhill from there.

>>78225738
Hey, he was having his dramatic moment! It's like shooting during a bad guy monologue, you can't do that!

It's was more "oh shit, this is for real" moment than what decided him. Like a "Can I really go through that?"

>>78226630
All the TFA "books" are coming out on Friday the 18th alongside with the official release of the movie. Before The Awakening is the only real book, everything else is reference books or childish shit.

I have now returned from the movie. Will not spoil anything. Movie was FANTASTIC, fucking awesome. Best star wars movie after episode 6. J.J did a perfect job, visuals, humor, everything. This movie was so good. There were two people at the cinema from the 501st legion in a darth vader costume and snowtrooper costume as well taking pictures with people. We are not american, but everyone clapped at the ending credits. Anons you will love the movie

"white" = Europeans from countries that were protestant. that means Irish, Mediterraneans, Slavs, and French aren't white. "white" is only British, German, Scandinavian

I was serious. He deserved the applause.
I clapped as soon as his name appeared and even louder when I saw Lucas' name.

>>78222961
>Sanji as Han
Kek, he'll never get to fuck Robin or Nami.

>Ben Solo
So did they name him after Obi-wan?

>>78231701
Why would Han and Leia name their child ben when Han never really had too much interaction with Obi Wan and Leia never even met him?

It would make way more sense for Lukes son to be named Ben

The movie had serious pacing, and it lifted so much of its plot from the OT that its hard to tell homage from plagiarism. The action was great, Han, chewie and finn were all alot of fun.
Edgy teen vader isnt a very imposing villain.
all in all, its not as bad as i feared it would be, but its also nowhere near as good as i hoped it could be.

>>78231660

Nothing.

>>78231737
Pacing issues*

>>78231722
But his name is Ben.
And Leia had some attachment to Obi-wan, even if it was minimal.

Maybe they just wanted to reuse the name since Luke's EU son was called Ben.

>>78231722
>It would make way more sense for Lukes son to be named Ben
Which he did, in the old EU.

>>78231722
Stop it with this retarded meme.

Leia knew who Obi-Wan was. Bail mentioned him all teh time. Why the fuck do you think she contacted Obi-Wan in the first place? Do people forget about this?

The entire plot of the first movie relies on the Droid going to Obi-Wan

Well, I for one thought it was one of the most solid movies so far. The only problems I had with it were the questions at the end, the seeming lack of world-building, and the fact that the only really likeable new characters were the ladies.
Maz Kanata was best. And I didn't understand the scale of the First Order. If they could wipe out the Republic in a single blow, why did the Republic allow them to get powerful enough to do so? This is assuming that the Republic is the top dog in the galaxy, but we weren't given any indication otherwise.

And who the fuck is Snoke, and why should I care? I guess that comes for the sequel though.

>>78231660
he and Finn are the only decent new characters considering how Phasma sorta dies

he doesn't really do much though

>>78231814
Yeah, she knew him as 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'. She never knew anything about his 'Ben' cover name until he was dead. It takes some shoveling to attain the logic needed to buy into Leia naming her kid after a virtual stranger's assumed name.

>>78231722
>It would make way more sense for Lukes son to be named Ben
Not really since Luke doesn't have a son and Ben isn't a great name for a girl

>>78231818

The spoilers suggest that Maz uses her force powers to take out storm troopers. Is this true?

No, she is not a force user.

They're still very butthurt about the EU switch. I mean just the other week they finally had all canon articles switch to default.

Finn was pretty much just a sidekick

Kylo Ren was a much more interesting character

>>78232100

Yes, she is. We know this from the Visual Dictionary.

Retard.

>>78231952
Luke, her brother, known him as Ben. What makes you think those two wouldn't tell each other about the people closest to them.

>>78232134
She isn't a force user, she says so in the fucking movie. However she understands everything about the force.

>>78232151

She's not a Jedi, but she definitely is a force user. I'm sorry you misunderstood the movie.

Quick thoughts on the movie:
I felt like it was some kind of remake/reboot/sequel of the OT (and especially ANH), which was JJ and Disney's goal in order to attract the fans but also a new audience and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. In fact I think the first two third of the movie really nailed it and I loved remaining into familiar territory while discovering new characters, a new plot etc...But I felt really let down by all of what happened on Starkiller base, I know that's kind of an elephant in the room, but come on, another timed battle against a gigantic battle station/planet weapon ? It just felt like a shallower battle against the second Death Star. But that being said, it only concerns the climax. And otherwise, I think the movie suffers from being prequel, there ain't much payoff, many things are introduced but left unexplained....

Otherwise:
> 10/10 special effects
> 10/10 new aliens
> 10/10 new sound effects ( that's the real treat in any Star Wars)
> Apparently, plenty of good things to come for the lore

>>78231952
>She never knew anything about his 'Ben' cover name
What the fuck makes you say that?

Bail sat down with Obi-Wan and Yoda about where, how and what they will do in the future. Why would this information elude him when talking to Leia?

>>78232212
No she said so herself she isn't a force user, however she knows all about it and it's ways. That is literally pretty much her line..

>>78232132
Kylo was literally worse than Hux and Hux isn't much himself already.

Finn's pretty good but I feel like his reason for leaving FO could've been shown better. Best acted new character imo.

>>78232100
>>78232151

Is the New Jedi Order series worth reading, even though its non-canon now? How do you feel it compares to the new canon?

>Phasma most likely won't become more relevant for obvious reasons

why live

>>78232257
Why am i a retard for saying what she said? I said she isn't a force user, however she knows the ways of it. She just isn't USING it.

>>78232146
Because it's still not going to be a convincing argument for your husband when you tell him you want to name your child after someone not even related to you. It'd be like you naming your kid Barack because you happened to hear your neighbors talking about him.

>>78232239
>Maz has kept one secret of her greatest strengths--an affinity for the Force. Though she has known Jedi (and has a few tall tales regarding encounters with Knights and Masters), she never walked the path herself, instead relying on her strong connection to the Force to keep her out of danger.

She definitely is a Force-user. I'm sorry you misunderstood the movie.

>>78232238
What makes you think they told Bail? Your headcanon? Fuck off, she even addressed him as Obi-Wan Kenobi in her holomessage, she didn't know shit about 'Ben'.

>>78232298
Or maybe Han just liked the name ben because he didn't really care

>>78232331
I didn't misunderstand anything. She said she isn't a user of the force, more of a psychic of you will that use her abilities to keep her safe. I think we both misunderstand each other.

>>78232365

The point is, she does in fact use the force and she is force sensitive. Or else she wouldn't hear the force calling to Rey.

>>78232238
Because "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope"

>>78232383
Yeah but she doesn't use the force in the way a jedi or sith does if you know what i mean. She just lives her life as an "ordinary" person but using her abilities to keep her safe. But yeah you are correct, i just worded myself wrong.

>>78232298
>>78232347
Or, and this is just a theory, they wanted Luke to name the kid. People do that.

>>78232402
Inb4 the next director just retcons her as a Jedi in hiding because he thinks the notion that a fag like Kylo could wipe out all of Luke's Jedi is retared

This feels like Avellone's reset button in The Lonesome Road.

>>78232477
Nope, was not destroyed.

Only Star Wars films with Lucas at the helm will be Star Wars films to me.

I don't have any particular attachment to Lucas, but when I think of the new Star Wars, it's like "this is Abrams' idea for a Star Wars sequel," not "this is THE Star Wars sequel."

You would think that in the Star Wars universe that just because the ship doesn't have life signs, shouldn't make the ship unimportant. They have droids that are completely autonomous and are able to be just as deadly as living things.

>Show me a bigger fuckup than these guys.

>>78236546
And yet the people avoiding confirmed spoilers won't know that until watching the movie, which is the way many people are dealing with it.

>>78236595
It's the week when shows start going off air for a couple weeks for holidays.

>>78236546
Some people don't want to stay in this hell hole full of bitching and sniping, especially with how it went down last night in the other thread. Honestly, it was trolls baiting trolls.

So, I've just seen the movie and it is really great. For me it's second only to Empire although it really copies much of ANH. It didn't matter for me because the new characters were very likeable, especially Finn, the humor was great and really genuine, the First Order was scarier than the old Empire and Han was just amazing. The movie was fun and exciting. There was not a single scene that bored me. It's not perfect though. Starkiller Base was a waste, we still don't know anything about Snoke and Phasma did nothing at all
The acting was solid, Kylo Ren is an incredible villain, the special effects were awesome and the dialogue was clearly written by Larry Kasdan. Can't wait to see Episode VIII. I'm kind of mad that I basically spoiled the whole movie for myself though.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

What?
How is that possible?

>>78236727
Does it give you any hope for the future? Do you think they'll do something different or bold?

>>78236988
Not that guy but yeah she is. She spends her whole childhood as a scavenger but can somehow fly and repair the millennium falcon better than Han Solo. Every other character really likes her for no reason. She shows no emotion but we're expected to think she's a deep character. She's force sensitive and smacks down Kylo Ren despite she having literally no training and Kylo trained since childhood. And then the director kills off Han Solo so she can take his place, literally, in the pilot's seat of the Falcon with Chewbacca treating her as a superior.

>>78236840
The only thing I noticed was Maz Kanata mentioning the Sith. I know it's in the novelization of ANH, but we first heard the term in The Phantom Menace. About the new EU... I didn't notice anything except that there is still a New Republic.

>>78236923
>Phasma

Sadly, she didn't really do anything of importance other than being a shitty boss to Finn. He enjoyed his revenge though.

>Hux

Generic evil fascist, but different from the usual imperial scumbags. Kylo Ren is kind of his superior but he doesn't respect him at all. It was sweet to see this kind of dynamic between them. Hux didn't have any depth though.

>>78236988
She is strong, independent and very skilled as a pilot and with the force. You could probably call her a Mary Sue, but somehow she was still likeable as a protagonist. Ridley's acting was better than I expected. Her chemistry with Finn and Han was good.

>>78237076
It's kind of in the middle. The plot points are very similar to ANH, but the character dynamics are different. The scenes with Han and Leia are very nostalgic, but it never felt "forced" to me.

>>78237097
Strong independant woman who don't need no man and could use shit like mind trick without even knowing she did. She's a Mary sue, plain and simple.

>>78237242
To be fair, she clearly wouldn't have beaten Kylo if Chewie wouldn't have shot him in the gut. He was still the better fighter and at least he survived.

>>78236460
>>78236501
Man, I don't even care about the movie. I just wanted to see the usual Kanan storytime.

>>78237250
>Generic evil fascist, but different from the usual imperial scumbags
>Generic evil fascist
> different from the usual imperial scumbags
How is he different from them? Because that's what most imperials are and have been since the beginning.

>>78232654

They lost a very important planet, likely much of their central structure, but I doubt they are truly down for the count. There's gonna be chaos though obviously.

They still have Coruscant to run back to too don't they?

Whens new episode, anons?

>>78237209
I really liked the movie and I understand what George meant when he said that "fans will love it". It really was everything a Star Wars fan would want, but it didn't try to be bold or different. I can't say if they will try to do something different with the sequels, but Rian Johnson is a director who likes bold and different, so I guess it's possible.

What I can say is that I'm really excited for VIII now. The cliffhanger is so much "worse" than the ESB one that I'm kind of happy and frustrated at the same time. I still don't know if I should love or hate Abrams for that.

>>78237310
Yeah. Because he was rescued by the ground breaking apart. He needed an entire goddamn planet to save his worthless Jon Snow-lite ass.

>>78236727
Does Ackbar show up or is even mentioned?

>>78231142
Rey cut off his hand and scarred his face because Kylo is just that bad at everything.

>>78237309
>>78237097
Kylo also took a shot from Chewies crossbow which was shown to be able to kill 5 people at once, and keep on gihting. There's also the fact he's all fucked up in the head from having just killed his dad

>>78237410
For me he was different because he challenged Kylo. I don't know, it just stands out to me because most imperial officers we've seen have been very submissive when Vader talked to them.

>>78237310
She wasn't exactly fresh either. She'd just broken out of interrogation (lol let me go I can mind control you stronger than any jedi mind trick ever shown despite no training), And Kylo himself had just force pushed her into a tree for a knockout so she's just woken up with a concussion but still has no trouble kicking his ass. Why didn't Kylo just force push her again? Mary sue plot powers.

>>78237661
He is Snoke

Oh wait, Snoke looks a bit different... Jar Jar wasn't in the movie. My bad

>>78237076

TFA is to ANH as Into Darkness is to Wrath of Khan.

>>78236840
Apparently the New Republic gets fucked in this movie as well.

>>78237416
Courscant is under Imperial control still. It's their capital.

>>78234924
Yes, just shorthanding Jacen to Jace would've been better. Ben does not make sense, since Leia does not even know Obi-Wan personally.

>>78237674
I agree, Rey's plot armor was too thick, but it makes sense that Kylo, after being wounded by Chewie's crossbow and Finn's attacks would have problems with Rey. Still, I won't disagree that the fight was a little disappointing, but somehow I can "forgive" Kylo because... he was just a great and interesting villain. I hope Johnson will handle him a bit more respectful than Abrams did.

>>78237730
That's wrong. The new movie respected the original trilogy and brought back the humor and fun that was missing in the prequels.

>>78237416
Wait wait, they blew up Chandrilla?

>>78237607

So Hux is just a young ersatz Tarkin that somehow lived when his 'Death Star' blew up?

Kylo stabbed him in the shoulder with one of the crossguard blades and then slashed him in the back as comeuppance for Finn's managing a glancing blow into his shoulder

>>78237863
No, Hosnian Prime/System. Multiple planets just explode.

>>78237797
Luke mind tricked her into doing it

Well now I seriously hope that Ezra and Kanan don't survive into the new Republic era, because you just know who would do them in if they do.

How long until Rebels is getting canned and Filoni and co are forced to make a show based on TFA?

>>78232402
>Yeah but she doesn't use the force in the way a jedi or sith does if you know what i mean.

That's not what you said above and you fucking know it. Quit back-pedalling like crazy.

>>78237934
Then they don't blow up the Republic's center. Because last time I checked that was Chandrilla due to virtue of being the Planet that Mon Motha was the Senator of.

>>78237957
They wouldn't even get a break since everything just resets AGAIN. Unless they make it totally disconnected with Jedi/New Republic shit.

>>78237957
Filoni and Co probably knew the end of Ezra and Kanans story when they started it since they're part of the storyteam, I don't think it'll be a Weissman tier cancellation.

Also Rogue One and Young Solo still has to come out so we have more of that era around

>>78237998
Hosnian Prime has the senate I believe, so a bunch of important dudes are dead. It's like taking out Coruscant really. Chandrilla might be the backup for stories outside the movies?

Boo-hoo. He got shot in the tummy.

No, Kylo killed the other students. But we still don't really know when exactly it happened. My guess is around 10 years before TFA.

>>78237841

If by that you mean it blatantly copied the OT outright and vomited bits and pieces of the Legends post-ROTJ EU all over it without introducing a single original story or character idea in the process, dressing it up with the cynical sarcastic style of humor that's "in" nowadays in order to play for mass appeal.

People kept calling Lucas a sellout. Disney's going to show the entire world what selling out really looks like.

>>78238175
All we know so far is the main cast, which is all human.

>>78238199
>vomited bits and pieces of the Legends post-ROTJ EU all over it
Yeah but it did it better than almost any of them did

>>78238190
And I am to believe there were no survivors amongst a student body that might actually have been more experienced than him?
Because I doubt that Luke went and trained children only.

>>78238199

>>78238199
Well, I guess we have to disagree then. The movie was great for me and I really liked Han and Leia's conflict here. I never cared about the EU though and I just wanted to see a good and entertaining movie again after the boring prequels. And Abrams delivered.

>>78238175
Not one single alien in the main cast. In a fucking rebel cell.

On another not Mads Mikkelsen is in the movie and I bet my ass he's an Imperial officer.

>>78238224

>I never cared about the EU though
You do realize that you're in a thread based on an EU title, right?

Chewbacca is the best we will ever get.

Yeah I don't get it either. They could've gone cheap and just made one character a Mirialan. That's easier to pull off than a Twi'lek.

At the Home Depot, helping with setting up the display cases.

Was it a glib facsimile?

Some reviewer was critical of the movie and called it that. From the sound of it he might be right, on several points.

>Chandrilla might be the backup for stories outside the movies?

Nope. Aftermath outright stated that Chandrilla was the capital of the new Republic. There is no "backup".

>Also Rogue One and Young Solo still has to come out

I'm still mad about this. There shouldn't be Star Wars movies other than the ACTUAL movies. Just cut those shits in quarters and release 'em on netflix or something.

>>78238354
Pretty much yes. It's basically more Episode 4 than Episode 1 was.

>>78238253
I didn't find that to be the case. Rey is a mary sue for sure but seems more of their own accord than any agenda.

With all the improvements in makeup and prosthetics, it would be easy as hell in making an alien character. Have you seen Face Off on Sci-fy?

Well then apparently it's not as important since everything was in this other system.

Kanan was solid as always and the Vader annual was really fun. Great art and it's always nice seeing Vader do enforcer stuff.

About him, I think he should have had a moment after Han dies, beside being angry. I think he should have been the one to embrace Leia when they come back.
I guess not being able to be directly understood by the audience is really an hindrance for a character.

Okay, I had low expectations but honestly that was a pretty damn decent Star Wars film.

I mean it was basically a New Hope, but still I really fucking enjoyed it.
