>Snoke isn't lame because you don't have enough information to make that call
Wrong. Snoke is lame and has no presence or authority BECAUSE he has nothing pertaining to him. The Emperor was a representation of the Empire we've been fighting for three movies. Snoke was just some guy who came out of nowhere and is now the DARKNESS.

>saying we know Kylo Ren's entire backstory is dead wrong.

you seriously think i meant that the problem was that now we know kylo ren's backstory already

instead of the story as presented being insufficient to lend proper weight to his actions in the flick itself

that is in fact why i said we missed an entire movie

>>78280651
For the record, I'm not calling everyone a manchild. That's just a fact. There's been 15 years of critical analysis and anti-hype over the prequels because some OTfags are just that ass ravaged. TFA will get theirs.

>ending felt nothing like a Star Wars ending

That was a major problem with it for me

What was the point of rehashing everything else if you can't do a Star Wars ending?

>>78280601

Force Awakens is fine and far better than the prequels.

If I'm just a shill then you're just a contrarian and we're both worthless.

Money dear boy, and the fact that Hollywood has no creative backbone anymore and relies on nostalgia to get the big bucks. And China.

>he thinks it takes critical analysis to realize the PTs are bad

You have to not be paying attention if you think those movies were ever good. even as a kid I disliked those movies hard and didn't like star wars for the longest time because of it.
I had to be coaxed into watching the OT.

>>78280949

So you're just a follower that has to be led like a sheep to water because you're too scared to do something yourself, ok.

>>78280985
Star Wars isn't art.

>>78280947
It has to a grand moment, like looking off at a galaxy in a med ship. or at a ceremony.

this one felt bland and awkward. and that panoramic view did not fit the normal cinematography at all.

>>78281003
Man where do you people come from

>>78280825
>No but this guy did his best to recreate it

I tried to watch a few minutes of it and even the final TPM fight still has the prequel problems. All the weird weightless CGI voids. When they move to a physical set it's a little better but the choreography for Maul's death is absurd.

Obi-Wan doing a flip over maul's head from below while Maul has him completely prone is ridiculous.

>>78280985

>>78281024
>that panoramic view did not fit the normal cinematography at all.

It did feel a little intrusive, like they spent the money on the drone and wanted to put it in.

>Where did society go so wrong that people can get paid so much for telling strangers on the internet what to think?

Ebert was a tv personality who had a great combative report with his co-host Gene Siskel. He was mostly willing to play ball with "fun" movies like Star Wars.

>>78281076
When people decided they needed something to prove their opinions. Some people aren't ok with subjective discussions.

>>78281093
Oh I read it, he had to be coaxed into watching the OT because he had a bad time watching the prequels. I find that pathetic.

>>78281154
I forgot. Did he like 'Benji the Hunted' or 'Carnosaur'?

>>78281173
the irony here is pure. I want to keep you in this state forever in a bottle to enjoy.

Go to tumblr then, if you need a hugbox so badly. If you can't handle dissenting opinions on 4chan then you really need to leave and go somewhere so you can't be triggered.

>>78281555
Everyone either has shit tastes for liking/hating different things, or is a copycat for liking/hating the same shit as you. It doesn't matter in the end; they'll find a way to shit on everything.

Best thing to do is to take those trips and be proud about being above nitpicking simple movies.

>>78281602
just look in the old thread >>78274518

>>78281573
You do realize that in Star Wars, they're past the time where wifi just "goes down" or where there's a bill even existing for the HoloNet/them not paying

Communications being down like they were when they were previously functioning is a sign of outside tampering, since we know it can be jammed.

So, can we all agree that Kylo Ren is the best character in TFA and the best film villain since Darth Vader?

>>78281795
Woah bud, lets chill out there. Wait until the trilogy's done first.

I want one.

>>78281795
Well Rey is the best character, but Kylo Ren is actually a character I really enjoyed. I can see him doing an anti-Vader arc, where he starts conflicted and ends completely ruthlessly evil

>>78281795
Of course.

>>78281795
>best character

You misspelled Poe

>>78281846
>Rey is the best character
Hardly. Weakest character by far. Literally only tumblr would be so blinded by MUH FEMINISM to say this.

>>78281795
What's up with him? Why is he so mad all the time? Anakin was better

>>78281902
The Dark Side feeds off of emotions like anger. It also makes you act irrationally if you haven't been properly taught to control the dark side, like Sheev.

>>78281795
>Kylo Ren is the best character in TFA
That would be Finn, not Kylo. I'll wait to see Ren in the second movie before making judgments on his character. As of right now, he's just a whiney EdgeLord, and no he's no Vader, just an edgy kid.

>>78281846
Rey was practically not a character though.

Finn was best character.

Did anyone else feel like Adam Driver should have played Anakin? Because I sure did, he nailed the tone and feel of what George was clearly trying to do with Anakin and had so much more intensity than Hayden Christensen.

I feel like at least part of next film is going to be cutting between Luke training Rey and Snoke training Kylo.

>>78281942
Finn was just entertaining because he got the best quips, Rey was about as developed

>>78281985
Exactly
0 character development+quips+better actor>0 character development

>>78281970
The real question is will Rey and Kylo bang

Plus they were sort of expecting the Trade Federation to do something. If you're in a situation where a bunch of assholes bring their giant ships to blockade your planet and suddenly your communications are being jammed, you can't blame someone for thinking that things are about to escalate.

Plus it's not like everyone immediately agreed. Both Amidala and Panaka were going "nah, they're not that stupid, the senate would bitchslap them"

>>78281985
We got to see Finn go from nameless faceless Storm Trooper to making friends and getting revenge on the First Order. With Rey she was just perfect smart girl all the way through

>>78281968

>they fall in love, it brings out the light side in him and the dark side in her

>>78280985

A glib facsimile.

>>78280441
I'm still not sure if I liked it or not. It's very rare for me to feel this way about the movie.

I guess I liked parts of it, but by the end of the movie a part of me was going "wait, that's it?"

Outside of Rey's Theme, TFA's OST is pretty bland so far. Most of it is just generic actioney pieces.

This is tough for me TFA was a competently made film but leaves a bad taste because of how by the numbers in is to the point of just being a repackaged ANH.

Meanwhile the prequels tried to do so much and be completely creative and unique and stumbled along the way. But I still can't help but appreciate them for what they are.

It's like good corporate Hollywood movie vs. bad movie with complete creative freedom

>>78282059
But it is the Outer Rim, it's the Galactic South.

>>78282055
Maybe Poe will be the POV character for advancing the war plot

>>78280880
The awkward helicopter shot took me out of the moment.

>>78282150
March of the Resistance, Snoke, and Torn Apart are the best tracks in my opinion. Especially Torn Apart because it contains the closest thing to an Imperial March style theme for the main villain and really captures the emotion of the best scene in the film.

>>78280825
>No but this guy did his best to recreate it
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9LEhOZZbuk

>took out all of TPM, even the semi-good scenes
>took out the whole Obi-Wan Kenobi: private eye investigator scenes in favor of the whole Anakin love story
well that was a waste of an hour

>>78282091
And did more in those ten minutes than just mindlessly slash everything in a temper tantrum.

>>78282152
At the end of the day, I'll usually go with the movie that at least tried, rather than the one that went By-the-numbers approach. I'm just worried Disney is going to go too far and Star Wars turns out like the Marvel Cinematic Universe is. I really don't want this franchise run into the ground by a bunch of Hollywood Execs.

>>78282150
Watching it again makes it a lot better, I didn't really like it at first, but after seeing it again I like the soundtrack better

>>78282152
I think JJ had to play it safe to get the general public back on board with Star Wars, and now that hes done that Rian Johnson will make a riskier, more superior film in episode 8 hopefully

>>78282274
Did he? I feel like Han and Chewie were the only characters that actually did anything at all.

Maybe Finn too. Couldn't care less about whatever is going on with Rey.

>>78282152
The prequels and TFA seem to be polar opposites of each other.

The prequels give you a better story and more imaginative visuals, but the tradeoff is you get bad acting and awkward dialogue that does a disservice to the story.

Meanwhile TFA has great performances and dialogue and well-executed moments of humor, but the story is unoriginal and visually, almost everything is a retread.

I still can't believe three guys managed to take down Starkiller Base.

>>78282261
All Prequel fan edits are a waste IMO. I've seen all of the popular ones and even a few others, but none of them work because the editors don't understand how films work. They just want to cut out what they feel is bad.

>>78282330
I can't believe Captain Phasma's asshole took a wookiee dick.

Anyone else kinda bothered that TFA had literally zero world building? Was my favorite parts of all six movies and clone wars. That you felt like the galaxy was this living breathing thing.

TFA had such a breakneck pace and didn't tell you ANYTHING about anything that it made the movie feel small.

The way they blew up a whole solar system and even the good guys didn't react and were quipping right after made it worse. Like nothing is important except the Resistance and the First Order.

>>78282330
I can't believe they keep building giant planetoids related to suns and killing.
You think they'd get the message by now.

>>78281942
>>78281894
I agree that she wasn't the best written character, but I feel like a lot of that was left to explore in the future. I just felt that she had the best performance out of the newcomers, followed really closely by Oscar Isaac and Boyega

>>78282279

That's kinda where I'm at. Like the prequels are cheesey B movie Sci fi flicks that expanded Star Wars lore and I love them for it.

>>78282298
Well, he was the one that flew into the thing... ...Then again, you could be onto something.

>>78282330
In comparison to the four that took down the Death Star?

>>78282279
The Force Awakens is a really funny movie, but I really don't want them to double down on the comedy stuff just because it worked here. Star Wars has always had humor, but it needs to be serious and I'd hate to see them yet to turn it into a quipfest like Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy. If worked for those films and the tone of the comic source material, but shit like Star-Lord's "dance off" would be horrendously out of place in Star Wars. That said, The Force Awakens is multiple orders of magnitude better than the prequels, it's not even a contest. Abrams did right by Star Wars. I'm curious to know what Lucas had wanted to do instead, but I'm skeptical that it would be as good as what we got.

Agreed. My favorite tracks so far(after listening a few more times since yesterday)

The Falcon

The Starkiller
Han and Leia
March of the Resistance
Snoke
Torn Apart
The Ways of the Force
The Jedi Steps and Finale

>>78282365
I was a little annoyed, yeah. They needed to establish Snoke and the New Republic better. Just offing the New Republic like that was fucking retarded. One of my few complaints about the film.

>>78282408

See but J.J. did right by Star Wars by doing Star Wars safely. If I wrote down the plot skeleton of ANH it would match up almost exactly to TFA. J.J. was dealing with an audience that worships the OT and considers the PT the worst movies ever made. And so he just remade one of the OT movies.

It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that everyone is like J J DID IT HE SAVED STAR WARS. When all he did was remake ANH and throw tons of references to the OT every couple minutes. It wasn't BAD but it didn't do anything new or exciting either.

Also, I hated Hux. He just seemed like such a geek. Kylo too. Phasma literally went into the trash. And what was the point of the assholes who showed up on Han's ship?

The antagonists were pathetic.

>>78282413
Yeah, the movie puts a huge emphasis on the quest for finding Luke, then kind of takes a detour to deal with Death Star 3, and by the time that's they finally find look WHOOPS TIME'S UP ROLL CREDITS

>>78282463
did you take this? can you dump some pages?

>>78282385
I disagree, I thought Adam Driver had the best performance by far. He has really strong presence and was able to emote a lot by doing very little so it was subtle. He really conveyed a deeply broken and conflicted person in a way that I feel like was both incredibly effective and also perhaps completely missable by some not paying close enough attention.

>>78282452
It didn't matter. Seemed like nothing really mattered.

No one really reacted to anything in any sort of meaningful way. Everything was moving too fast for any one scene to matter more than others. Shit tier pacing, JJ.

>>78282452
Hell, they did a poor job of explaining anything about the Republic and the First Order.

>>78282521

This was my biggest complaint. It feels like we missed a whole movie between VI and VII. Like go between III and IV and despite a huge time leap everything makes sense. There are no lingering questions or confusion at the end of the movie.

>>78282556
No.

>>78282556
The canonfags are about to jump down your throat, bro.

Think I'm gonna shut off my brain and just enjoy TFA for what it was. I love the prequels so there's no reason I can't love TFA. I just gotta stop dissecting it.

>>78282507
honestly, one of the best parts about the film is that there was no performance that you could point out and say "wow they really weren't good in this role". Today, I think Ridley was the best, but I can't come up with anything to say why Driver wasn't any better because he was spectacular as well

>>78282499
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/comments/3x9857/just_bought_the_visual_dictionary_and_incredible/

Here's more. Very interesting stuff. Most of the politics and worldbuilding was cut off from the movie, a bad move in my opinion.

>>78282485

>>78282559

>>78282601
That's what I ended up doing. Your nerves will thank you.

>>78282617
There were no visuals

>>78282617

But nothing was told is the problem.

>>78281795
Honestly no, there's been far more interesting and developed villains. Like Maul and Ventress in TCW.

And Sheev is just fun.

THAT BEING SAID, I'm glad we have Kylo, he's batshit insane and I kinda' like that. Nice change of pace.

>>78282606
I was just about to say, I really wish they explained more about the difference between the Resistance and the New Republic. That one page you posted was really interesting. I hope they explain more in the films rather than relying on other canon books

although I guess normies dont care about the world building which is why they didnt explain shit in TFA

>>78282152
I feel the exact same way, and im choosing to like both TFA and the prequels for what they are and what they did right.

Life is too short to be angry and upset at my own favorite franchise.

>>78282330
>making something that contains a fucking star, redirects the energy into several blasts, all shot through sub-Hyperspace and precisely aimed at targets lightyears away

The power of a modern super-laser on earth can vaporize hardened steel, but whack it with a hammer in the right spot and it'll break. Do it well enough it might mid-direct the laser and hit its own internal components, and therefore explode when you try to fire it.
Nothing out of place there, that shit's delicate, and precise.

Only thing i dind't understand about the Star Killer is how the hell was it that no one except for the bad guys knew about about it, everyone was surprised to know they have created a planet destroyer twice bigger than the last one.

>he thinks it takes critical analysis to realize the PTs are bad

Nothing to do with "thinking". It's an observable fact. The first reviews of TPM played the exact same tune now played for TFA.

Then butthurt fanboys started bitching so loudly all over Internet that reviewers were forced to play to the tune.

>>78282652

Maul and Ventress in TCW are some of my favorite characters but it's kinda unfair they had an entire series. Kylo had one movie and the performance that was put on easily stole the show for me and made him one of my favorite villains.

With TCW saving Dooku and Maul's character we really don't have a bad villain in the series though.

>>78282485
Hux was pretty bland. He felt like a Tarkin stand-in, but didn't have any moments where he demonstrated his authority, or where he demonstrated cruelty the way Tarkin did. Yes, he blow up a system, but what made Tarkin's act of mass destruction memorable was the way he dangled it in front of Leia, only to laugh in her face and tell her destroying Alderaan suited his goals so he was going to do it anyway.

Hux bitches at Kylo a few times, makes a big speech about how the Republic sucks (and the audience isn't given much context for what their beef is beyond "First Order Bad, Republic Good" which basically drains his speech of any real weight) and that's it. He's such a forgettable character.

>>78282652
I laugh when the stormtroppers didn't go to him and simply and casually go away from fear of getting killed

>>78282696
I agree, its too early to judge Kylo, but as it stands, he is a fantastic character and brilliantly acted, but simply not as interesting or developed as some of the other villains YET.

He has time to grow.

So is the NR actually dead forever or did they just have their Washington hit by a nuke nobody expected Space Nazis to have?

Because the latter is how I read it (coupled with their demilitarization) but everyone in here keeps ragging on it being dead dead.

>>78282679
If three guys manage to take down your entire shield system by ambushing ONE SUBSTATION, you have problems.

>>78282680
Same reason no one knew about the Death Star: they didn't fucking advertise it.
And look where it is on the map >>78282463
No one would've ever known it was there.

>>78282680
It was out in uncharted territory, so it's not like ships regularly went past it to get a view of it. They had to send Wexley over just to confirm that it was even there before launching the attack.

>>78282686
He helped create Vader, he was he true villain of the prequels

>>78282686
I stand by what I said.

>>78282606
Yeah, I can sort of see why they would because they know that politics in Star Wars has gotten a bad reputation, but ANH- the movie that TFA is most trying to emulate- was able to do it without breaking the flow of the story. It gave enough exposition for you to understand why things are happening and then moved on. TFA is apparently so afraid to get into politics it completely forgets to give the audience any context, so it's just good guys and bad guys fighting for reasons that aren't explained.

>>78282712
Yeah me and my cousin cracked up at that.

We also laughed when Kylo is shattering the computer and the Imperial Officer is pissing his pants.

And Kylo asks "anything else" and before the Officer can finish his sentence, he starts getting dragged.

That guy had a REALLY rough day.

>>78282652

The main governing rule of the NR (Senate) is dead, so that pretty much cripples what's left of it.

>>78282732
What was BTFO on Hosnian?

All/most of the senate?
All/most of the NR fleet?

I think they got rekt pretty bad

>>78282732
Well base don the fact that the NR's capital is moved around, I'm sure it's "fine." They'll probably do emergency elections and have some reflection on the events.

Pablo said they had a UN-style defense fleet as well, so I think that wouldn't be hard to build again.

>>78282742
The Death Star was a project supported by a galactic scale

The First Order seem to be schlubs who barely control a few thousand systems, how did they make a bigger one

>>78282606

I'm not surprised desu. The movie was good but it felt like it was a vehicle for OT references and everything else was thrown to the side. We need a middle between the PT's exposition dumps and heavy focus on politics and lore and TFA's complete lack and total focus on the characters and nothing else.

It's clear that J.J. tried to remake ANH without knowing what exactly made it so good. He put none of the subtlety into it. The little things that made it feel like a living breathing galaxy. He just used set pieces really. Desert planet. Maz's Cantina. Not Death Star.

>>78282785
Anon is talking about in TCW. Maul has several arcs to himself in that.

>>78282740
Well phasma disabled it legitimately, but under illegitimate circumstances.
They didn't expect someone to fly a ship at light-speed into their fucking shield, and then hold up a high ranked officer at blaster-point, all on a base on a tiny planet in the ass-end of the unknown regions.
They had every reason not to be all that concerned about it.

>>78282606
The general normie audience doesnt care about the politics, its one of the biggest complaints of the prequels.

They'll still have it all, it'll just be explained in the books, whereas the movies will focus entirely on the action/adventure and character drama.

>>78282785
He is in TCW too anon. He gets revenge on Obi-Wan, and then decides to create his own Empire with the intention of becoming a third faction in the war. Guy was sadistic and yet ambitious as fuck.

>>78281846
Was this a thumbs up or a middle finger?

>>78282463
It really bothers me that Coruscant is no longer the capital, like to an irrational degree. It just doesn't make any sort of sense and seems to only be the case of them distancing themselves from the prequels and perhaps to avoid having to make more CG renders of it with modern visuals. Not that I want more Senate shit or any significant amount of time to be set there in these films, but acknowledging it would be nice or maybe getting a few scenes showing the Republic leadership based there. Moving the Senate around between planets is just dumb, but maybe now that they got annihilated they'll move back there for safety.

>>78282785
>in TCW

>>78282804
Snoke must have something outside of the FO

>>78282732
Hosnian Prime was the current capital(since it switches around) but basically the leaders were all taken out as well as the Senate and the Republics fleet.

Member systems/planets of the Republic can just vote a new capital and elect new Senators/ask former senators to temporarily fill in during this crisis.

They'd also need to rebuild the fleet, but that shouldn't be hard because it's only said that the NR had the largest defense force. Planets probably have their own forces which they'll pool together into a fleet to take on the First Order

>>78282787
Majority if not all of the Senate (senators could have been off world doing other things) and an unknown amount of the NR fleet.

>>78282732
They're pretty damn crippled right now, and it feels like the FO get's the edge, for at least having it's leaders still alive. As for the NR, they lost their Senate and a good people and resources in that region.

>>78282813
>one officer can turn off YOUR ENTIRE PLANETARY SHIELD

possibly even worse

>>78282838
I seriously doubt that the entire NR defense fleet was stationed at Hosnian Prime.

>>78282804
Because this time they only converted a pre-existing planet instead of making a new one

>>78282872
Yeah it's still really stupid, I just want the right stupid thing to be called out, is all.

I wish Starkiller Base was something more original than just a very big laser.

>>78282805
It was still a good and enjoyable movie. The Star Wars franchise has truly now revived.

>dresses like his favorite character all the time while practicing with his homemade lightsaber that he can barely use

So basically Kylo is a teenage star wars fanboy

>>78282905

But then it wouldn't literally be A New New Hope.

Were those Star Destroyers orbiting the New Republic worlds?

Does the Visual Dictionary have anything about Starkiller Base in it? Namely, what planet it was before turning into a weapon, to prove/debunk once and for all if it was Ilum?

>>78282905
But anon, it sucks up the sun as a power source!

>>78282872
Certainly didn't look like it when it was getting blown up. There were a handful of large ships that I noticed, but certainly not the size fleet seen fielded by the Old Republic or Empire in previous films.

>>78282872
I think it was, but it wasn't that large. Remember planets in the Republic probably have their own small fleets as well now. I think Mon Mothma's plans in the end are going to work. FO just kicked a hornet's nest and lost their spray can doing it.

>>78282898
they wouldnt be able to move that though right? so the Death Star makes more since in some ways

>>78282905

I wish the movie just didn't have a superweapon plot. It adds nothing to the movie and we're not even given much reason to care about it. The story should've focused on the search for Luke and leave the superweapon for another movie instead of trying to squeeze both plots into the same movie and ultimately weakening them both.

You people act like he wasn't just shot, by the thing that was throwing fuckers meters away throughout the whole movie, in the gut.
He was winning until Rey went Force trust on him, and even then he was still defending himself well.

>>78282927

>But anon, it sucks up the sun as a power source!

Hell, that's worse than the laser

>>78282950
i want to see the old Empire fighting the FO at some point old galatic alliance style.

>>78282941
Does it matter?
I mean it's clearly able to hit across star systems, which is probably the advantage. It's in first order space somewhere that nobody knows about and nobody could normally get to because it's guarded by their forces, instead of running around blowing planets up like the death star

>>78282827
They had no problem rendering Hosnian Prime briefly, so it's not that. The film had plenty of other prequel references or callbacks, so it's not that either.

It's just part of the new canon. It makes sense too, since planets would be wary after 23 years of Imperial rule.

>>78282872
It was. The New Republic was mostly demilitarized and had a small fleet compared to the Galactic Republic and the Empire. The Hosnian System had all of the NR fleet and was destroyed by Starkiller Base.

>>78282950
I don't even remember seeing him. I'm guessing he was among the crowd that was watching the big red flash that was coming to fuck them up.

>>78282950

>>78282944
I like how it powers itself

But big laser? Not very interesting aesthetic

>>78282905
I'm fine with it, it was cool looking and way more destructive. But they really better not do it again. 3 times is an absurd number of times to try the same exact plan, albeit the third time was vastly more successful than the previous 2. And that excuses it because the Death Star II was useless and only destroyed a single ship.

>>78282611
Not surprised you enjoyed it. You're not very intelligent.

Hux was a bland little geek and his 'speech' reminded me of Sinestro's speech in the Green Lantern movie, in that it seemingly served NO purpose other than padding to make the trailer look cool.

Also, even besides the pic- I went in really wanting to like this movie, and I did until Han showed up. Then it just nosedived into oblivion.

The worst film i've ever watched in theaters.

>>78282974
>He could use his saber fine.
He really couldn't. It's not like Luke ever was taught that much, and on top of that it seems the Knights of Ren don't use them. He had basic training at best.

I think I loved the entire movie until Rey suddenly became a badass lightsaber user.

Have Kylo about to kill her only for a green lightsaber to block the killing blow and the movie becomes 10x better. Or at least do a 2 on 1 against Kylo. It just made no sense.

Take out Starkiller too. Then you got a great movie.

Part 2. I gotta pick this book up myself

>>78282958
I love it. He's like, what, 30 in character but Kylo's entire character is someone who hasn't had to evolve since he was 15. The tantrums, the affectations of control and gravitas, all of it. I love Kylo but he really is, as noted in interviews before, an unfinished villain. Which I only finally got when seeing him just spastically wreck a room in the movie.

Why did they never make an animated series about the cast of the original trilogy?

Especially in the 80's you'd think they'd have been all over that.

Anyone else kinda laugh at how Finn was wielding the lightsaber against Kylo like a competent Jedi and it was a legitimately impressive fight. And then Rey, force prodigy, comes in with the lightsaber and just kinda awkwardly pokes at Kylo while running backwards? It immediately took me out of the movie. It felt like their choreography guy played a joke on her.

How would it be out of nowhere? He's the strongest force sensitive in the galaxy and an entire solar system just got wiped out and then his best friend was murdered by another force sensitive. Luke definitely felt all of that he's just a little bitch now and stayed in his hermit cave.

>I think I loved the entire movie until Rey suddenly became a badass lightsaber user.

She didn't though. She was only able to hold her own because Kylo was fucked up majorly from Chewbacca's bowcaster shot(which was powerful enough to send FO Stormtroopers flying earlier in the film) to the side. Coupled with Snoke saying that Kylo's not completely trained, it's not hard to believe a force sensitive, staff-wielding woman could hold her own against him.

>>78282742

>>78283064
Because they weren't sure what the plan for the franchise was gonna be post-Jedi, whether George would decide to keep going or not and they felt like a TV show based on the main crew would limit creative options for new films.

That's why Droids and Ewoks existed: 3PO and R2's past before the movies was fairer game and Ewoks were lucrative and off on Endor doing their own thing. They were popular characters, but not supremely important ones in the overall Star Wars story.

Max Von Sydow had 3 minutes of screen time and should have been either a villain or an old Jedi that Luke helped train.

I mean, I went out of the theater wanting more Star Wars than ever. If it was an awful, horrible, no-good film, I wouldn't be here commenting on it.

>>78283384
So... What's the deal with the shutdown? Did Luke tell him to do that before leaving? If R2 wasn't being a sperg everything would've been resolved much faster, what changed at the end that made him spontaneously come back?

>>78280651
>I can't think of any negatives about the movie! It's still bad!

No need to think of something glaringly apparent.

-Rips off IV so much that a few minor changes would be enough to turn it into an outright remake.

-Absolute lack of visual imagination, whether we talk about landscapes or designs. Everything good is ripped from OT. Everything remotely original is not good. Things that had potential to be good, like the Starkiller base are completely vasted.

-Shitty cinematography that does not resemble Star Wars. Camera that cannot stand still. Lack of panoramic shots.

-Complete inability to give a character more than one dimension without shitting all over him/her. Rey and Poe have no characterization beyond skillz and generic heroism. Finn is a comedic stereotype of a nigger, despite being supposedly raised in a strict military environment, whose only motivation to do anything heroic is pussy. Darth Tryhard's quest for edgemastery is happening for absolutely no established reason. Han suddenly forgot everything he has learned in the OT and also got weak-willed enough to be badgered into attempting a task which he correctly believed to be futile. Leia grew into a bitchy wife who can only nag her husband into doing stuff. Luke fucked off to sulk while the First Order was preparing to murder billions. Hux proved to be a poor substitute for Tarkin when he ran to Snoke asking what to do the second something went wrong. Even Phasma managed to reveal herself as a gutless coward in the short time she had. Both sides are pigmies and twerps compared to heroes and villains of previous episodes.

I hope no one minds if I post my own short review:
It wasn't as bad as I feared, it was enjoyable, and better than the prequels. They did hit some good balances in a lot of things, like Kylo being intimidating but also you could see he was clearly no Vader, a nice balance in the lightsaber fighting, etc. But I feel JJ played things 'too safe' and decided to just recycle a Lucas script than try to do too much of anything original. Also, too many held gaze shots between characters, after the second one I wondered how long it would be before 'staring movie' became a meme. Held gazes can be meaningful, but they should never break past the fifteen second mark without something happening. Also felt during the interrogation, Ren should have actually grabbed Rey's head to better fit the 'physicality' aspect of Darkside users.

tl;dr: 6/10, would watch again and am holding hope for the next installments.

(cont.)


-The search for Luke made no fucking sense. Sure, there might be an explanation why Luke both wanted and not wanted to be found at the same time, but it was not presented in the film. (Inb4 you complain about unclear reasons for events in PT - the off-screen tax disputes were a McGuffin, a nominally plot-starting device that can be replaced with something else without impacting the plot at all, while motives for stuff that actually happened on the screen were perhaps even overexplained).

-Absolutely retarded, SoD-breaking shit happening SOLELY for plot convenience. The heroes on the Generic Forest Planet somehow seeing the destruction wrought by the Starkiller. Total absense of security on the First Order base (on DS I the villains wanted the heroes to escape). Falcon hyperspeeding right under the shield - sure doing that instead of going on a near-suicide mission with an infantry squad would have been handy on Endor! Shields on the Starkiller that can be turned off by a random infantry officer and cannot be turned back on from the main bridge. No fleet protecting the Starkiller (DS I was expected to be on a little more than a shakedown cruise with live fire exercises, the only problem with the Rebels was supposed to be finding them). No fleet attacking the Starkiller, just because they wanted to replicate ep IV point-by-point. I'm sure more can be found, but those are just the most glaring.

>what changed at the end that made him spontaneously come back?

Rey being on the base is my guess

>>78283535
>>wonderful character interaction
no
>>great humor
no
>>great acting
hell no, Leia was Days of our Lives tier
>>fantastic set design
sure
>>very well done action segments
*very stolen from ANH

>>bad
yes

>shit score
yes

>>78283535
These are all true. But in the interest of fairness I'd like to add

>Mary Sue protagonist
>Autistic villain

>>78283535
I agree with everything except set design. The only sets that didn't look plain were the Star Destroyer and Starkiller Base ones, but they were basically just copies of the old Star Destroyer and Death Star hallways and control rooms.

>Finn is a comedic stereotype of a nigger
Ah, I see what your deal is now.

>>78283384
So that means that the only reason R2 woke up is because he finished defragmenting and has sorted all of his memories.

Also, I like how Luke had his fake skin removed from his robot hand. It makes him look cooler.

>>78283544
R2 was depressed because Luke left.

>what changed at the end that made him spontaneously come back?
He must've finished de-fragmenting and sorting.

>>78283539
whatever
This is just insane
This movie is BAD
it's okay to admit it

>>78283539
In comparison to everyone else who hated the film and is wasting no time in making their voices heard like this was Tumblr or something.

>>78283251
That didn't stop them from making Rambo or Robocop cartoons.

And if you wanted to, you could just set it between 4 and 5.

>>78283598
Well, when Rey saw Finn the first thing she did was chase him down and call him a thief... I was actually REALLY afraid there was gonna be a "Is it a race thing?" joke from him.

>>78283607
Defragmenting, disk cleanup, virus scanning, malware scanning. Shit, R2 never should have been introduced to the holonet.

>>78283556
Nice review, i think the same. This movie has actually made me a fan of this franchise now. hope they dont get to fuvk up

>>78283582
Rey isnt a mary sue and theres nothing wrong with an autistic villain.

>>78283551
>>78283568
fucking spot on

>>78280441
wait what? it got blown the fuck up with 3 other planets/moons. the seat of the republic has always been Coruscant for thousands of years

>>78283698
Nope. That was Hosnia prime.

>>78283698
That was Hosnian Prime and the Hosnian System. Coruscant doesn't have any moons I think

>>78283698
Have you not been following this thread?

>>78283650
Yeah, she's just super good at fighting, flying, fixing, is super pretty, misses only her first ever blaster shot and then has dead-eye accuracy, everyone who meets her instantly likes her and has immense Force powers.

Totally not a Mary Sue.

>>78283647
Don't kill yourself.
Sorry i said that.

>>78283718
It did in the old EU at least. Didn't Palpatine have cloning facilities on it?

>>78283698

>>78282463
The capital of the New Republic is now the Random System. It took all emotional impact from me too when I learned about it. At first I was like YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN, YOU DESTROYED CORUSCANT and then it was like... eh...

Weak point.

So who's gonna win the Reybowl?

Poe or Finn?

Finn already has the lead, and Poe's only interaction with Rey is in the novelization.

>>78283598
>Ah, I see what your deal is now.

Stating the obvious? I'm not the one who made him only doing heroic things because of pussy or inserted humor based on the nigger stereotypes, from the moment he meets Rey to the moment they catch Phasma.

>>78283762
BB-8

>>78283698
Hosnian Prime got BTFO because the New Republic thinks changing the capital to a new planet would be brave and bold and letting the enemy do their thing and not step in when they should is a good idea.

Besides, Coruscant is a core world that still belongs to the Empire and I don't think the First Order and the Empire are at war with each other

>>78283726
Nope. I saw that and I was all "The fuck, the establishing shot was a city, and they said they were attacking the Republic", so I put 2 and 2 together. It comes up as 6 apparently

>>78283743
Wats the suppose to mean

>>78283762
Finn seems like a comedic brother

Did you see their antics

>>78283762
Didn't she already call him his friend? He's done. Friendzoned in the first movie.

>>78283738
Just from reading that I want to see more of Phasma. She seems, out of all the Star Wars characters, to be the most dedicated to her forces.

>>78283738
Just makes how she was portrayed in TFA more insulting. If she really is coming back in 8, they better make up for it.

Considering shes gifted with the force and gew up having to survive in horrible conditions most of those are justified.

Itd be like calling my nigva Paul Atreides a mary sue

>>78283777
Isn't the FO the last Imperial remnant left?

>"There's been an awakening. Have you felt it?"

Did anyone else get super happy about that one Stormtrooper with the eletrotonfa that fought Finn? Just a legit good-at-his-job Stormtrooper, don't see that every day.

To be honest I think Rey is gonna fly Solo.

It's a shame that there are a ton of normies out there that will forever think Coruscant was blown up.

>>78283777

>Besides, Coruscant is a core world that still belongs to the Empire and I don't think the First Order and the Empire are at war with each other

That isn't confirmed anywhere.
