Star Wars Rebels

>>78274518
how was the soundtrack to the newest movie to you all? i barely noticed it at all besides the few changes to the original theme

>>78274574
Wasn't a fan myself. I hope this isn't Williams last SW soundtrack or even soundtrack in general, I'd hate for him to go out with a whimper instead of a bang.

>>78274574
It had some good stuff amongst the quieter themes, but no real oomph like the Imperial March or Duel of the Fates or whatnot. Hopefully that steps up again in VIII.

Though I want to know why we didn't get the bitching version of the Skywalker theme used in the final trailer, that shit would have been on point blaring over the final action sequences in the darkness.

Is it even in the OST or do we not get a full version of it even still?

>>78274574
Lacking, it wasn't as memorable as the other ones.

>>78274518

ooooo man what a cool looking helmet. This guy didn't even have any lines! Boo. Yeah I know, JJ can't fit EVERYTHING into 2 hours, but this guy is so sweet looking.

Who else thinks Rey is somehow related to Obi-Wan? I think they're misleading us into thinking she's Luke's.

Camrip fucking when?
I need to see the movie again!

>>78274518
That's not new Boba, that's new Zuckuss or something.

>>78274574
Reposting from the last thread:
I've listened to the OST a bunch today, and it's definitely lacking iconic themes like all of his other Star Wars soundtracks, but it's still good. Torn Apart is my personal favorite track, it's very good and reminiscent of "Anakin's Dark Deeds" while also feeling different and new. I really hope he does the rest of the trilogy though, he's still the best there is and I believe he still has at least one more "Imperial March" tier piece left in him.

No, he died before he could sire her.

Then go back to see it in theatres again.

>>78275008
Sounds vaguely similar to Flag Parade to me. I really love it.

>tfw they don't have the new Cantina piece for streaming

>>78275005

Ooooo MY. Is he cool? Tell me he's cool!

>>78274976
How could she be? She's like 20-21 years old, Obi-Wan died an old man probably about 15 years before she was born, and never had a family because the only woman he ever loved died during the Clone Wars.

>>78275025
I've seen it in theatres twice

>>78275025
>No, he died before he could sire her.
Granddaughter or niece/grandniece?

>>78275045
Read his short story and judge him yourself.

>>78275051

>>78274826
>>78274990

Except it wasn't just bad guys do bad things and good guys do good things and win. They literally redid plot points throughout the movie.

>>78274518
Does this guy have a Black Series figure yet? And Jedi Master Luke Black Series fucking when?

>>78275008
This is something that kind of got me about the soundtrack. The Resistance got a cool martial theme but the FO didn't get even a retooled Imperial March?

>Rey is the daughter of Larry Kenobi, Obi-Wan's delinquent younger brother

>>78275066
Did Obi-wan even have any relatives?

>>78275141
The family the Order took him from.

>>78275141
He had parents, who could have always had another kid after the Jedi took him. Wanting to have an heir they get to actually keep and a child to actually raise and all

>>78275141
Canon and EU never really elaborated on this that much. I know in the EU he apparently had a younger brother and was from a family of nobility.

>>78274574
lack luster, felt like it actually let down a couple of otherwise good scenes

>>78275106
Not only do we, the audience, not know anything about Obi-Wan's family or whether he had any siblings and could have potentially nieces/grand-nieces, but Obi-Wan himself didn't even know his own family because he was taken to the Jedi as an infant. It really wouldn't work or make sense, sorry. I personally don't think she's Luke's daughter either, but that's because now that I'm proven right that Kylo is basically Jacen Solo 2.0, I don't think there's a chance in hell they're going to resist having her be his sister. That poetry is too strong.

>>78275039
FUCKING THIS
WHAT THE FUCK
FUCKING WHY

>>78275136
My favorite song in the film, easily. And favorite scene. God damn.

>>78275170
He didn't have a brother, it was an abandoned idea to reveal Owen Lars was his step-brother apparently.

>>78274921
The trailer music wasn't Williams.

He definitely didn't bring his A-game this time. I don't think he liked the movie.

>>78275109
And you can condense most any two movies down to a shortlist of basic elements that makes it seem like they're identical.

I'm not saying that this movie didn't purposefully strike a ton of nostalgic chords. It's clear they were trying their damndest to keep this as close to the original trilogy as possible.

And I'm fine with it. If anybody's not okay with that, George Lucas made them a trilogy not too long ago that's thematically different enough they should be enjoy it.

I have a crawling suspicion Filoni was sitting in on a TFA production meeting when this scene was being drafted

>>78275228
Can't blame him.

>>78275228

Does this shot bug anyone else? I can't unsee the dent in R2 in this scene.

>>78275228
I think he just didn't like not working with George Lucas on it. He's good friends with both Lucas and Spielberg, so it probably felt weird doing a new Star Wars without him.

>>78275228
I liked a lot of the pieces as their own things, but it didn't have the real oomph track one hopes for sometimes. Maybe he didn't like it, or maybe he just misses George.

>>78274518
I thought that helmet looked similar to Grievous. Good to know it's Kaleesh in design.

Not really, because the prequels weren't good films either. I want something that's both new and good, not just new and bad, or unoriginal and good.

There's lots of other movies out there you can go and watch, since you don't seem to like Star Wars.

And in any case, I'm sure the next one will be more than just a retreading of empire strikes back.

Your only other option is to watch your bombad prequels, okee day?

>>78275449

Weak bait.

Warboy Trooper. His brothers witnessed him and he was carried to the gates of Valhalla by Phasma herself, shiny and chrome!

>>78275362
People are usually too afraid to say their own damn opinion due to the fact that it's Star Wars and they don't want to look like the party-pooper in the time that this was supposed to be the 'Great Resurgence' of Star Wars cinema and are willing to nod and wave with the crowd so as not to be singled out and be called contrarians.

Not me, this movie was pretty damn disappointing and I give it about a 5/10, it was meh.

>>78274981
If you've already paid for it once, then okay for out again. Suck dick for money if you have to.

>>78275377
Could be anyone related to the academy shooting. Any relative of any student, or any force sensitive kids brought there then taken away for safety.
Or just her connecting to force and seeing a vision of her most traumatic experience and a vision of the threat she will have to face.

>>78275561
Stormboy.

>>78275554
It at least changed the setting and stuff. This was exactly the same.

Phasma obviously survived, Finn needs a rival.

>>78275575
I'm with you senpai. 5/10 seems fair.

>>78275518
Definitely not dead, embarrassed as fuck, but obviously made it out. They didn't show Kylo Ren or Hux escape either, but we can very plainly surmise they and many of the First Order personnel did manage to escape simply because that's how it works with villains and not specifically showing them die. And there wouldn't be much of a trilogy left to make if that were the case.

That guy was just watching over her for Leia. He's obviously from Alderaan, in his own words he still considers her royalty, so he was likely a friend of her adopted family.

How old is Rey? I'm still on that She and Kylo are twins train

>>78275658
I think playing it overly safe and basically doing a future remake of ANH is still a big flaw, though.

I hold trying new things pretty highly, though. Something I actually like about the prequel universe (not the prequels which are trash) is that they do a good job of making it feel like a vastly different era.

This is what, 20 years later but it's just trying way too hard to be a new hope remastered

>>78275679
It had logical, coherent characterization. It was well-paced. It has a theme. It's not a flawless film but it's a fun and well-made movie that doesn't deserve less than 7/10.

>>78275731
Novelization suggests 19. Same age as Luke in ANH

>>78275731
Early 20's I think. And yeah, I'm pretty well convinced that she's the Jaina to his Jacen. They may not be twins, but undoubtedly siblings.

I take Luke's expression at the end to be towards Rey and not the lightsaber

>>78275731
Daisy Ridley is like 22 and Adam Driver is like 30

>>78275709
The pacing was terrible, scenes were barely set up before we moved to the next one, the setting was horribly explained, most of the word building was done via supplemental material unlike the movie they're ripping off, ANH, which did a bang up job with the world building, despite an entire star system being lost, along with hundreds of billions of lives and the fucking Senate nobody seems to give a shit, not even Leia, who can particularly relate to such a tragedy, and finally, Rey is, for lack of a better term, a Mary Sue, she uses abilities she was completely untrained for, like being an excellent pilot for a ship she's never flown before, or being highly proficient with the Force despite not receiving any previous training.

>>78275674
>He's obviously from Alderaan

This is gonna sound stupid, but wouldn't it be cool if in Episode 8 there would be a scene where a guy actually grabs the blade of a Lightsaber and doesn't get hurt? Like some big fucker who is getting attacked by Rey and he just grabs the saber like "No".

>>78275801

TFA was pretty good but come on now. You guys are doing the thing you always do where if someone gives off any little hint that they don't like something in Star Wars you call them a shitposter because you have absolutely no taste and like everything no matter whether its good or bad.

>>78275775
I'm not ready to buy the idea Rey is a Skywalker yet. Why would Luke or Leia leave their daughter on a shitty desert planet as a virtual slave scavenging parts for a scrap dealer, that's literally the way to create another Darth Vader.

I know it's not 100% sure but I think Rei is Luke's kid.What really convinced me was when she won the force grab duel for the saber, she won because she had connection to it's two previous owners while Kylo only had one. That and her knack for mechanics and piloting are traits for Luke and Anni.

She was already skilled with that strange staff she takes with her everywhere, as evidenced by her brawl with those thugs on Jakku. Same principle I suppose, fighting is fighting, and Kylo Ren is very obviously not well trained for it either on top of being fairly injured.

>>78275988
he's a legacy fag looking for approval from the grandpa he never knew

Don't know if that is more or less pathetic than him just being a Vader Fanboy.

>>78276029
>Why would Luke or Leia leave their daughter on a shitty desert planet as a virtual slave scavenging parts for a scrap dealer, that's literally the way to create another Darth Vader.
They already made one by training them they can't do much worse

Do you feel First Order Stormtroopers are more, equal, or less skilled than OT Stormtroopers?

>>78276008

it felt to me like she was struggling to keep it together and got the "win" bc Kylo was already fucked up from Chewie/Finn and getting emotional. +luck. and it's not like she wasn't a fighter, had that staff

>>78276008
It's more that Kylo was really fucked up and not that she was really all that good. Plus she has fighting experience with her staff

>>78276048
More. Because now Jacen is evil solely because of genetics.

>>78276047
Question, do you think Fin will get the saber and Rey will make a staff lightsaber or how do you guys think that will work?

>>78275878
He took off his mask.

>>78276008
She handled herself pretty well with that staff against those goons, so she's got some combat experience, and Kylo's not exactly an elite duelist, he had a hard time with Fin.

>>78276075

>Rey just tapes the lightsaber to the end of her staff

>>78276029
It doesn't make sense if she's Leia's daughter, but with Luke it'd be a way to protect her from whatever he was doing in isolation.

>>78276072
Well that and he was duped into thinking "hey its not the Dark Side if I DON'T think of it as the Dark Side...right?"

>>78276061
More, by a mile.

They may even be better than clones considering that they are selected and trained from birth. Clones didn't have as much experience or training because they are aged fast.

Finn knew his shit about the galaxy too, even though he'd lived a sheltered existence. and he was just a janitor.

>>78276061
More skilled against unarmed villagers certainly, less skilled against Han Solo. Vader's troops CHASED Han down the corridors of the Death Star while he was screaming like an idiot. Here he's just blasting them 10 feet across rooms with Chewie's Bowcaster while they ineffectually hit nothing. They even tried shooting down X-Wings with their blaster rifles.

>>78276061
FO seemed better from what we have scene. They also know that you should avoid the dark side guy when he is angry. I found the two troopers just backing the fuck away when they saw the sparks fly pretty funny.

I honestly found Phasma more intimidating than Ren up until the end where he's going fucking crazy punching his wound and trouncing Finn/Rey, but they both get their asses whooped in really embarrassing fashion.

>>78276113
No that was Jacen. And even then he went through a hell is he war for years and was captured and brainwashed. And he lost his brother. So it's more understandable Jacen going evil than Bens well guess he was always destined to be evil them the breaks

Wonder where Ezra was in TFA?

>>78276109
That would be funny, but more than likely she will be a light side Darth Maul if anything.

Kylo Ren possibly since Rey swiped at his leg in the fight but other than that no one was disarmed. C3PO has a Venom Snake thing going on though

>>78276110
If he was going to follow the Obi-Wan Kenobi school of child abandonment you'd think he'd at least set her up with a fucking adoptive family or some shit like he had. Why give her a purposely hard life, harder than his even?

>>78276164
>it's more understandable Jacen going evil than Bens well guess he was always destined to be evil them the breaks
We know literally nothing about how or why Kylo turned to the dark side. You can't criticise a story that you're only 1/3 of the way through for not being finished yet.

>>78276153
Vader took his mask off in that meditation chamber of his. It's off for Piett to see in ESB.

>>78276164
We don't actually know the real reasons or circumstances for Ben becoming Kylo Ren, and it would be foolish to assume that this is something they'll leave unaddressed in the next two films. I believe there's a lot more to him than we currently know, that intense idolization of Vader and his clear conflict within himself where he's actively trying to deny who he is don't come from nothing.

I could swear he lost his hand in Rey's final flourish, are you sure it was just his cape?

>>78275809
I'd rather it be Luke or Snoke using the force to stop the saber dead before it hit, but making a grabbing gesture for effect.

>>78276234

>>78275907
>Hey Leia, lets name our boy after that guy that turned off the tractor beam that one time. He was a good friend.

>>78276175
I thought Kylo Ren lost a hand since when Rey beats him something falls on the ground and lands next to him, but I guess not, other anons said it was his Lightsaber and that you could see both hands still attached.

>>78276229
Rey hamstringed him and gave him some face scars, but no mutilation. He'll come back a bit spookier looking in the next one, fail again and come back as a full cyborg his like senpai for the last one, I imagine.

>>78276247

Nah, pretty sure the face scar is his big reminder of the battle

Really glad Rey isn't lusting after the comical BBC. Hopefully she'll meet Poe in the next one and fall head over heels for that beautiful, european looking man.

>>78276271
If it follows the formula and poetry, Kylo Ren won't be injured in the next one but instead Rey will lose a limb. One of her legs. That staff is foreshadowing, she'll end up needing to use it like a crutch.

>Ackbar being a background character

God damn it you'd think he'd have a line to a Republic battlegroup or something to help the Resistance out.

>>78276260
Well going by JJ Abrams he likely worte a fanficiton for him being an old family friend and shit.

And like hes' going to rewrite that headcanon.

>>78276271

OH man if he starts mutilating himself for it.

I wanna know about the training he needs to finish and shit. Like Snoke is competently manipulating him. also dark side but not sith? or head sith making himself a fiercely loyal death squad

>>78276315
I think the pottery levels would be higher if Kylo got the full Skywalker hero's journey treatment, hand mutilation in the second movie and all, only on the darkside.

>>78276316
Surprised he's still alive, he was already an adult military leader during the Clone Wars and clearly much older during Return of the Jedi. I guess fish people have long lifespans.

>>78276323
I'm interested in the Knights of Ren, they look like force sensitive users, but not Jedi or Sith. Kylo also didn't get any training with Luke, I wonder if he's even seen Snoke face to face yet.

>>78276315
Just saying having her hobble around like Kaz only to turn into fucking Sun Wukong in the blink of an eye would be badass

>>78276323
What if Snoke deliberately left Kylo untrained because he thought, with Luke gone, there was nobody who could take him?
Could have been an anti backstabbing ploy that backfired.

>>78276313

poe and finn seem like fast friends, and poe probably understands that finn likes her since helped convince leia to allow him and han to go save her. he won't make a move, and rey won't like him.

>>78274976
I wonder if it would finally appease the mando leftovers if that was the case.

>>78276377
Well she's getting a romance arc, and it's not with Finn. Finn having some previous interest in her only rises the P O T T E RY levels, like Luke x Leia in A New Hope.

>>78276373
Well it's not like there's are other lightsaber users for him to train/kill anyway. Kylo was probably just picking up resistance scrap every odd friday and never had a real fight, it'd suit his character and his origins as a pompous prince.

>>78276339
Old Man Skywalker come flying in his T-65 jumps out flings from troopers around and causes that scrapyard saber to explode. One hand down. Now to find my Uncles and Graft it on, Also Grandfathers Saber...ohhhh *fap fap fap* "Grandson are you beating off to the family legacy again?" "....no?"

>>78275914

The successful implementation of grouchy gramps Harrison Ford here where it has been so problematic everywhere else it has shown up in was exceptional.

>>78276400
>Well she's getting a romance arc, and it's not with Finn.

no confirmation of this at all

>>78276431

I'm pretty sure Ford giving a shit and Han dying are related

>>78276406

Their dynamic was amazing, can't wait for them to have an adventure together

>>78276323
Right now, I don't even feel like Snoke is a force user. Aside from his line "there has been an awakening", I don't get the impression that he's actually a Sith or force sensitive. I think he's playing Kylo Ren like a fool, like Han said. Probably fed him some lies about the dark side giving him more power, played on his insecurities and obvious family issues, in order to get himself his own version of Darth Vader. I mean, not only does he have the son of two Rebel leaders responsible for the Empire's downfall on his side which would make for great propaganda, but also has the intimidation factor/built in reputation of having his own Darth Vader going around enforcing his will. People in the galaxy still remember Vader, they were terrified of him, so if the First Order comes out saying they have the second coming of him, that's bound to keep people in line.

Anyone have a picture of BB-8's thumbs up?

Don't remind me about that stupid weapon.
-ABSORBS an entire star to fire a shot.
-That shot is somehow a hyperspeed laser, which makes no sense. They could have just brought back a super galaxy gun, or made the planet arrive in range of its targets, adding a few scenes for the Republic in the mix giving a bit of goddamn context to the whole affair.
-The plasma/laser shot, somehow is visible from a planet several systems away while travelling at hyperspeed.
-The laser somehow divides up into several branches or whatever accurately hiting every planet.
-Explosions are seen systems away in real time.

I mean at least the prequels and the OT TRIED to make things as believable and plausible as possible for a space opera, when the force wasn't involved that is. This was just ridiculous, and wasn't introduced to the plot as well as the deathstar was. It just felt as Abrams was feeding us a rehash of ep IV and knew it so well he decided to gift us with a simple remastered version of the big explosion and action scenes while cutting the exhibition dialogues (like the moff conference in a new hope).

All of that to show us "successful trench run N°3" no surprises, no plot twists, no novelty, nothing.

After his experience with Owen completely disregarding Obi-Wan's plan, and lying to Luke about Anakin? No fucking way. Hard lives, while bringing the risk of becoming supervillain origin stories, can also lead to humility and the development of inner strength. Besides, I maintain Max Von Sydow was Luke's version of Obi-Wan placed on Jakku just to keep an eye on her and make sure she never got too overwhelmed.

Indeed, but when you are being fed A New Hope V2, you expect at least something more than the same trench run getting the same result using a convenient weakness once again.

Avatar also lacked surprises, and the story was pretty shit, yet I find it more satisfying than TFA. Maybe I also expected more than a rehash on Abrams part, who knows, but that doesn't negate my criticism.

>Distribution executives are in complete awe and just can’t believe what they’re witnessing hour by hour. After shattering the box office industry’s preview-night record with $57 million on Thursday, Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens is set to knock over opening-day and weekend records left and right. You can scratch out that $110M opening day we heard about earlier. Force Awakens Friday — which includes that $57M it made in Thursday previews — is between $130M-$145M per industry estimates (not Disney). This puts Force Awakens in an opening-weekend range of $250M-$275M; a gross that sends Universal’s Jurassic World current opening-weekend record of $208.8M back to the Stone Age.

I enjoyed this movie. It wasn't the most incredible movie ever, but it was great. it really surprised me that Dark Vader was Luke's father.

Really came out of left field to be honest.

>>78276603
There is a middle ground between hard sci-fi and complete and utter over the top nonsense.

The death star was presented as a huge accomplishment and was basically an oversized laser cannon, the cross sections and the pseudo tech behind it were logical in a way, giving it a semblance of realism.

This monstrosity of a weapon is blatantly retarded on the other hand and doesn't even try to hide it.

>>78276776
There are no true fans
Only degrees of fanatism

>>78276008
I'm glad she didn't really "win", her and Kylo just got separated. But yeah, she was a bit too skilled throughout the movie.

Kylo Ren is the one who is OP. He lacks discipline and focus, fights like a crazy person, but his ability to freeze people and blaster bolts with the force is unprecedented. He has significant raw force potential but it is going to waste because he isn't being taught how to actually use it. Couldn't even call Anakin's Lightsaber to his hand which is basic shit Luke could do before even meeting Yoda.

>>78275778
My thoughts exactly.

>>78276798
At first I thought her mind controlling a trooper after just learning of her powers was pretty OP but then I realized it must be easy as shit to control them since they are raised to follow orders and must have almost no will of their own.

you realize HE COULD DO THAT, but Rey's telekinetic pull was stronger, right?

Kylo is very proficient in the use of the force.

no need to believe that, he absolutely was. he just killed his father, and took a shot from chewbacca's blowcaster gun

>>78276959
She's just equally as powerful, so he couldn't break through her mind like he could everyone else he's come across. They're obviously twins, the symmetry is there plain as day. But his ability is evidence of significant strength in the force regardless of his obvious lack of trained skill.

>>78277017

let's get one thing straight. kylo has had plenty of training from both luke and snoke.

he was given to luke or training a kid and then fucked things up as teenager probably and then snoke has trained him. he reflects on his training a lot in the novelization.

>>78274518
TFA official objective opinions:

It was a rehash but it was good

Snoke is a stupid name and design

It was weird how the republic were the underdogs, shouldn't the first order be the "resistance" group?

Starkiller base was silly but at least they acknowledged that themselves within the movie

It was better than any prequel because it was actually fun as opposed to watching Hayden Christiansen furrow his brow for an hour and a half and call it acting.

He's lucky Rey lost her gun or she probably would have capped his ass

Is this an e-book, short story, or part of a larger print collection?

This. And she failed the first time, which speaks a lot of just how novice she was. But yeah, she learned way too fast.

>>78277155

57 page short story gonna be collected with the others for print later.

im going to a screening of it right now with a Q&A at the end. Rumor has it JJ will be there. Any one a GOOD question I could ask him if he is?

>>78277193
What is the name of the planet Luke was on at the end of the movie? Was it Tython?

>>78277193
Ask him about Dave Filoni

>>78277193
Ask him about the secret Jewish cabal he's part of

>>78277078
Agreed. Snoke sounds like the name of a Harry Potter villain. Loved it though. Really liked the two leads and Kylo Ren. Kept getting "Bastilla Shan" vibes from Rey.

>It was weird how the republic were the underdogs

This ties into the "it was a rehash" thing. I was disappointed because I wanted to see the mighty republic going up against the terroristic First Order and then they just all but destroy the republic so we can relive muh ragtag rebel alliance

>>78276870
We see Troopers making decisions for themselves several times throughout the movie, though. Finn, the dudes turning around and fucking leaving when Kylo has a spergout

It's not a big stretch to be honest but she still learned semi-advanced force powers and lightsaber combat WAY too quickly.

>>78277193
Why does Finn have qualms killing people he's been trainned to kill over his entire life but has no qualms about killing the very people he's served with and grown up with over that life?

>>78277193
Come up with a ridiculous fan theory on Han surviving and ask what he thinks

>People are usually too afraid to say their own damn opinion due to the fact that it's Star Wars and they don't want to look like the party-pooper in the time that this was supposed to be the 'Great Resurgence' of Star Wars cinema and are willing to nod and wave with the crowd so as not to be singled out and be called contrarians.

And yet this didn't prevent any criticism of the prequels, which were also supposed to be Star Wars' "grand resurgence".

People were hyped, saw the movie, were let down, and admitted the movie was a huge let down. We took them at their word then. Why are we suddenly acting like people are incapable of being critical of a Star Wars movie?

Which of the "Journey to the Force Awakens" books are worth reading or listening to?

How close to Lucas' original ideas for Episode 7 is the movie?

So, what, the New Republic believes the First Order to be a boogeyman and straight up gets annihilated for it?

>>78277211

Ask about Phasma, Prety much anything will do.

They were shooting at him, kill or be killed

>>78277193

How big in comparison are the Republic, Resistance, and First Order?
Are we ever gonna see how these Wars effect average people who aren't on planets that get destroyed?

>>78277230
I was just about to ask this myself.

>>78277155
Short story, shouldn't take you more than an hour to read it

>>78277235
Gwen is so cute

Where was that Constable Zuko who's stupid action figure I see pegwarming everywhere?

>>78277270

I wonder what kind of chips Kylo would like. Do you think he'd be a spicy jalapeno kinda guy, or a salt & vinegar kinda guy? I'm thinking salt & vinegar.
