REMINDER

Phasma has the imperial accent

Rey has the Imperial accent

Phasma is old enough to be Rey's mother...especially since Rey is probably supposed to be younger than Ridley.

(Yes, that's not know that's not how accents work but maybe she'll remember her)

Yeah it probably won't be true but it fits funnily enough for a mother candidate

>implying Hooch Pandersnatch could pull Kyle off

>>78324154
Lewd!

but seriously, when?
>>
>>78324181

ask me anything. and It may come true

I'm upset because I really hoped Phasma will be just SW version of Brienne.

FYI the characters are not always the same age as the ones portraying them, the characters in ANH were not the same ages as their characters, they were younger.

Rey is probably meant to be a teenager, maybe 20. Phasma might be 40 actually.

It would create the whole "Luke fell in love with an imperial" thing

Phasma is Trench's adopted daughter, it's obvious. There's no way Trench would just die, he ultimately became just a brain in a silver droid body and escaped into the unknown regions, presumably taking care of some dumpster baby at some point. That baby eventually grows up and decides to join the FO and bids farawell to her caretaker.

She nevr forgot about him, though - Phasma wears chrome armor because that's how she remembers the biggest authority figure in her life.

It's much better than people expected it to be. The only major flaw is how they executed the starkiller base idea and how unsatisfying its destruction was. Everything else is either great, good or at least okay. Han's death scene for example is one of the greatest scenes in the saga.

Hooray for racial stereotyping!

But for real, you're an idiot. The original trilogy gave us Lando Calrissian, played by Billy Dee Williams. He was added in Empire Strikes Back and is the smoothest motherfucker in the galaxy.

The prequels gave us the most badass member of the Jedi Council, Mace Windu, played by Samuel L Jackson.

And of course Darth Vader has always been voiced by James Earl Jones.

Stop trying to imply that every single white person on the face of the planet is secretly plotting to reinstate chattel slavery and the slit the throats of black children just to drink their blood for shits and giggles. Most of us just want to live our lives, same as everybody else. And besides, I don't even like the taste of blood.

In Legends, I recommend starting the New Jedi Order series. While some installments in the series are bad, I'd say the series averages out to be pretty good, at least over the books I've read so far (I just finished Star By Star).

In particular, watch out for Balance Point, because it's painfully dull but unfortunately necessary. Edge of Victory Part II had an enragingly stupid Mara Jade plotline, though it made up for it with the Yuuzhan Vong shaper plotline.

Consensus theory seems to be that he's trying to draw on the pain to ramp up his anger and draw on the dark side more effectively.

Which seems to me like a pretty shitty fanfic-tier exploit to introduce for the dark side, but I guess it's what the fans think they want to see.

okay so i have a theory about episode 8 and it ties in rebels.

so i think luke met up with Ezra at some point when he was training new jedi and ezra is the one who knows about the old jedi temples and tells him.
so luke is finding all these old temples and even discovers that degobah where yoda was living was an old Jedi temple and that's why he experienced the vision there much like ezra did in the other jedi temple.

now as Luke keeps finding these temples he is sending his padawans in to pass the test like ezra had to but he doesnt know that there are some old sith temples and he sends Kylo into one. this is a sith temple with the dormant general snoke and he planted a seed in kylo and slowly turned him and then told kylo how to bring him back

now after rey meets up with luke i feel like hes gonna be like i cant train anyone ever again cuz hes to butthurt you and hes gonna send her to find ezra and learn from him

let me know what you guys think about this

He's explicitly not a Sith, though I guess since he was technically training to be a Jedi it's not technically wrong to call him a Dark Jedi.

The specific group he belongs to is the Knights of Ren, but we know very little about them and what it is that makes them different from Sith. We know even less about Snoke's Force discipline, he's apparently not one of the actual Knights of Ren but has control over them (or at least he has control over Kylo, who is the "master" of the Knights of Ren). Snoke isn't a Sith either but we don't know what he is.

He wasn't supposed to be intimidating. Did you even pay attention while watching the movie? He's a powerful but immature fanatic who desperately wants to be evil and badass, but he is still too inexperienced to achieve his goals. He is basically the anti-Luke Skywalker. That's why he gets his own villain journey where he becomes stronger and more mature, just like Luke in the OT.

Right, but Vader's pain is like emotional, spiritual, psychological.

>They're not part of the actual Sith Order and aren't called Sith, but we don't know enough to even tell what makes them different.

No Sith to pass on that knowledge = no Sith tricks or knowledge. That means no Lightening powers or super subtle Sith mind manipulation, Sift saber techniques or Sith crafting.

>HAHAHAHAHHA

What's so funny? That's exactly what it is.

>Shakespearean tragedy is the classification of drama written by William Shakespeare which has a noble protagonist, who is flawed in some way, placed in a stressful heightened situation and ends with a fatal conclusion.

Anakin Skywalker is the noble protagonist(which he is most of the time, he's trying to do what's right for those he cares for). Therein lies his flaw, his inability to let go of attachment. He's taken from his only family, his mother, at a young age and becomes the member of the Jedi Order, where he is told to forget his attachments and control his emotions and is taught by Obi-Wan, who strictly follows the ways of the Jedi and allows little room for Anakin to adjust to this new lifestyle at a reasonable pace.

In AotC, things get even more stressful when he reunites with his childhood crush and begins harboring feelings for her again. They eventually form a relationship and he also loses his mother. He loses an arm to Dooku, then the Clone Wars break out, putting even more stress on him as he is promoted to Knight and is put in charge of a legion of clonetroopers and sent off to fight in a war.

Things come to a point when Padme reveals she's pregnant and he begins having troubling visions of her dying in childbirth. He seeks help from Yoda, who doesn't really tell him what he needed to hear, instead opting to tell him to basically not be attached.

He then seeks out Palpatine, who begins to tell him the wonders of the Dark Side and how it can save her. Anakin is eventually seduced to the Dark Side and in a fateful decision sides against the Jedi. The Dark Side now taking hold, Anakin blindly wipes out the Jedi Order. He duels his former master and "dies" on Mustafar, and is replaced with Vader.

Whether or not you like the execution of the prequels, it's all there. This doesn't even factor in the stress of teaching a padawan in TCW only to have her not rejoin the order.

Most people in the Star Wars universe seem to understand at least a dozen different languages, and force sensitives seem adaptive enough to be able to learn hundreds (if not thousands) of different languages really quickly.

It's less about what they say and more about the tone. If R2 sounds angry or scared, then Luke can tell because he hears the tone. Besides, protocol droids like Threepio and viewscreens like the one in Luke's X-Wing can translate exactly what's being said.

Basically. With the Inquisitors for example, we know they're nowhere near as powerful and don't have the same level of powerlust that the Sith have. Even so, they're still Sith servants so they fall under the Sith umbrella even if they're not actual Sith themselves, so any similarities are understandable.

If you introduced a different group that's unrelated to the Sith you should have a few major differences between them.

He's the glue that brings everyone together. He helps Poe escape, helps BB-8 complete his mission, causes Rey to have to leave Jakku which causes Han to find the Falcon again. Finding the Falcon is what brings him back to Leia and ultimately to his son, brings Rey to Maz and the Lightsaber which awakens her to the Force. He is the catalyst for it all, literally the will of the Force being carried out unwittingly by this one man who has a crisis of conscience and sets in motion the whole story.

No one's denying it has flaws, but the positives far outweigh the negatives for most of us.

I can't really fault them for playing it safe and sticking with the template for the first outing though.
>>
>>78326019
Yeah but the way the movies setup, all that stuff could really just happen by itself without him and narratively the movie would be absolutely no different. That's just him taking responsibility and intervening in all that with extra steps, the fact that he did it all by incident sort of negates him having any purpose in the film.
>>

>Star Wars really is the story of how bad guys win because good is dumb.
No, because you're honestly behaving very stupidly right now.

What happened with the New Republic allowing the FO order to form because they didn't want to keep going to war with them and made a treaty is the exact same thing that's happened countless times through human history and should be aware of already.

Right down to a band of "terrorists/freedom fighters" being formed to harass the newly recognized state.

>>78326057
Parts of the Empire were kinda whiny bitches about it and held onto their equipment as soon as the chain of command broke down. Since those parts would've raised hell and shot up everywhere if they were forced to compromise, the republic just let them be.

It's more like if Germany was defeated by Nazi colonies, camps and holdouts still existed throughout the middle east but it was too much effort to go to war with them and delay peace back home.
>>
>>78326127
That's probably why they're such pussies. No fear of death or betrayal means they aren't using the dark side efficiently. Ren has to backstab some of his knights so they can stop being little bitches already.

No, literally none of that would have happened without him. Poe would have died on that ship. BB-8 would just continue living with Rey in the desert. She would never become a Jedi. Luke would remain in exile. Han would continue being a smuggler with Chewie and trying to ignore how sad he is. The Falcon would continue to sit there rusting and unused. The New Republic and Resistance would be obliterated. It ALL happened because the Force manifested in his choice to run.

Calm down mate, I'm just pointing out the shortcomings of a fictional government.

Given that Kylo's the leader of the Knights despite being half trained, I suspect Snoke keeps them in line by dangling the carrot of advancement in front of them, while holding the stick of being too strong to fuck with.

With Luke out of the picture, he couldn't have forseen how this would backfire spectacularly.
It also means that it's almost certainly killed off the idea of hundreds of jedi surviving order 66 and past RoTJ, since they'd be powerful enough to challenge the knights. It also means we won't have to retread the same fucking concept time and time again, but sadly means Ezra, Kanan and Ashoka are almost certainly fucked or will retire.

Poe could pilot it himself just fine. Having a partner to deflect those auto-miss turrets is just a bad excuse to have Finn around.

>BB-8 would just continue living with Rey in the desert. She would never become a Jedi.
The only thing Finn does is somehow get BB-8 to reveal the location of the resistance. The stormtroomers still would've come after it anyway, she could've piloted and got onto the Falcon and everything else would've played out the same.
>Luke would remain in exile. Han would continue being a smuggler with Chewie and trying to ignore how sad he is.
> The Falcon would continue to sit there rusting and unused.
Until Rey came in and offset this.
Rey is literally the reason all of that happened, Finn's presence was just incidental.
> It ALL happened because the Force manifested in his choice to run.
This is just woo, from a viewers perspective and narrative standpoint behind the 4th wall the same could be said for Rey. Why didn't the "force" just manifest to her and have her do the same things? He's not really needed, his motivations to run away don't serve as a catalyst for anything in the story.

Poe never would have made it to a fighter and died as he fled unless that thing had a hyperdrive added (unlikely)

You really don't get it. Honestly, how is this too complicated for you? Poe would have died on the Star Destroyer, there was no escape for him without Finn.

It has nothing to do with that. The marketing campaign makes him out to be the main character but he hardly does anything but stumble about throughout the whole movie. If he grew and matured he might be like Luke, but that was Rey's role in TFA.

Having an entire character whose motivation is running away and being entirely incompetent gets pretty annoying.

Oh wait, no I don't.

I'm legitimately disappointed in this film. It's not just that they got rid of the EU, I had hopes the TFA would at least be fresh and interesting. And for the record, Kylo Ren is the worst villain in the history of Star Wars. And yes, I'm including Anakin "not the younglings" Skywalker in ROTS.

This would be fine if he didn't get the most screentime and wasn't treated as the main character. As is it's like we spent most of the movie following one of the static side characters who did less than anything other than be a plot device.

Imagine if in the prequels we spent the majority of the movie having Jarjar stumble onto saving everyone and being the catalyst of the movie. And the orders were to go AFTER BB-8, not Finn. Rey had Finn. They would've gone after her anyway and she could've got the instructions from the droid and boarded the Millennium falcon, met Chewy and Han, got herself captured, rescued herself and defeated Job-Ren all the same.
>>
>>78326621
Doesn't make sense no matter how good his armor is, he should go flying from the force of it. You don't wear armor and get by a car going 100mph and simply hunker over instead of going through the air.

>The marketing campaign makes him out to be the main character

Nope, just the lightsaber wielder in order to hide Rey as the Force user. But we already knew Rey was the official main character before the film even came out

He was still caught up in the moment of killing his own father and what it was doing to him. We know he's both good and evil according to the official guide because he's got a balance of light and dark in him and he even talks about the pull to the light he feels. He needed some time after killing his only father and he was defenseless, it made sense.

Not really. He was a fun side character who got the hype and screen time role of a main character. The entire film should've been about Ren.

This time though it might be best to let the next generation take care of it, hence this film was more like the OT but with the older guys passing the torch to the next group of heroes to keep the fight alive.

Wrong again. Pablo said the LSG considers him to be "Schroedinger's Fett". He's both alive and dead in the sarlaac until a story pulls him out or confirms him dead.

It's really not. 4,5,6,1,2,3 is the only order that actually makes any sense due to the way George essentially wrote the prequels backwards - information is relayed in the prequels which calls back (or "forward") to the original trilogy, and assumes a knowledge of those events.

There's also the issue of it spoiling the Vader/Luke reveal, not that anyone in 2015 doesn't already know that, and that Leia and Luke are siblings.

Other things like the fact Jango Fett gets so much emphasis purely due to the fandom's love for Boba, but later we barely see Boba, and when we do, he doesn't really do anything.

You think TPM is only there to explain the Force? No.

It shows us the state of the galaxy in the prequels and how it functions. It introduces that the Sith were thought extinct and only just now revealed themselves. It showed that Anakin had attachment problems even from a young age and that Qui-Gon would've been the perfect Jedi Master for him, had he not died.

Just because the PT came out after the OT doesn't mean they have to be watched that way. I've seen chronological order many times, 2 times recently with a marathon stream this one dude from the thread hosted. The saga works just fine, I never felt like any information was missing.

If you watch in release order, it spoils the Palpatine is Sidious reveal in Episode 3. This is an actual thing if you watch in order for your first viewing.

Jango Fett getting emphasis doesn't make the OT necessary first. Instead, we see Jango and a young Boba, and later see an adult Boba following his father's line of work.

Ren isn't that experienced or L33T with lightsaber duels himself.
Notice that all experienced jedis fight slowly and constantly re-position themselves with each new strike, using the force to let them concentrate and retaliate at a perfect position to their opponent each time.

Ren and Rey don't got that, they just strike like a beserker, not like jedi.

Yeah, but I imagine you watched the Original Trilogy first at some point? Chronological order is fine for a rewatch, but for a first-time viewing it doesn't really work.

>If you watch in release order, it spoils the Palpatine is Sidious reveal in Episode 3

The Palpatine is Sidious reveal isn't nearly as significant as Vader being Luke's father. There's a reason that, as I said, most people that have never seen the movie are aware of (and often misquote) the 'No, I am your father,' twist. It's one of the most culturally significant scenes in post-Classical Hollywood cinema.

>Instead, we see Jango and a young Boba, and later see an adult Boba following his father's line of work.

Except we don't, since Boba has a much more minor role and kind of does fuck all. He was so popular because he had a cool design and people loved the figures and EU materials.

Apologies if I'm going off at you here, but I've seen so many people recommend chronological viewing for first-timers preparing for the new movie, and it gets me riled up every time.

So, I'm visiting my family for the holidays and saw TFA with my Dad opening night. I've never seen a Star Wars movie without him, so I'm really glad the scheduling worked out the way it did. We both loved it and had ourselves a really great time. The next day we went to grab lunch at this decent local barbecue place. We started talking specifics about the movie, what our favorite moments were and what we hoped to see in future movies, when this waitress walked by and said loudly for of us to hear "Spoilers.". Now, I let it go and didn't say anything at the time, but what the actual fuck? I get wanting to be surprised, but am I not allowed to have a fucking discussion about a movie I saw in public now? I mean, I had the death scene spoiled for me and it didn't impact my enjoyment of the movie one iota.

Snoke is probably a failed clone of Anakin or Sheev himselfthat Palpatine was raising in secret to replace Vader, who was powerful but lacked the ambition and attitude of a Sith.

No.

Having a connection with all living beings through the fact you are a living being created by the energy of all these other living beings is not the same as only being connected because intelligent organisms inside you speak to you about the Force because you're deaf to it even though they aren't because of raisins.

I'm sure there are those in the EU. But the simple version of it, both are mystical aspect of each story that makes the hero special. It's a common part of a hero's journey.

Nope, I first saw the Saga 1-6 in like 2006 or 2007 in chronological order. The most I knew was Vader was Luke's father. I had no problems understanding anything, it all flowed linearly.

>Chronological order is fine for a rewatch, but for a first-time viewing it doesn't really work.
But it does. It worked fine for me and several of my friends. I know two people from the Star Wars subreddit watched for the first time in chronological order and they were fine. They had no problems either.

>The Palpatine is Sidious reveal isn't nearly as significant as Vader being Luke's father. There's a reason that, as I said, most people that have never seen the movie are aware of (and often misquote) the 'No, I am your father,' twist.

The Luke reveal works either way though. Even if the audience knows the reveal, it's a big moment for the character in the film and still will leave an impact.

The Palpatine reveal doesn't work the other way around.

>Except we don't, since Boba has a much more minor role and kind of does fuck all.

Midi-chlorians are just a way of testing for force sensitivity. They only quantify the Force in that they tell how strong someone is.

The Force is still quite spiritual. In fact, "midi-chlorian" is just the scientific name for them. They're a spiritual thing in and of themselves.

Watch the Yoda arc from S6 of TCW.

This. It's like saying that brain mass and Neurons are a measure of intelligence or intellectual ability.

Sure a higher count of them CAN measure more complex intelligence, but in no way can intelligence itself ever be reduced or simplified to the amount of brain cells and synaptic connections you have, just like the force cannot be reduced to Mini-clorians, only indicated/measured by.

Right, but is the mask passed down or something?

That shit needs explaining.

Also needs explaining is the one random person in grey clothing just casually standing in the background of various shots during the Resistance attack on the lush planet. I don't know how many people caught on to that one, but there was some random person throughout that whole fight wearing all grey just standing there in the background. He wasn't even fighting or anything.

That really bugged the shit out of me because I noticed them once, then again and again and again and no one else with me noticed them standing there.

Nope, we were explicitly told they allow you to use the Force by telling you what it wants and whatnot, they are mediators or the same as if someone like Kenobi told you about the Force and you were dumb and ignorant. You can't communicate with the Force without them.

No, you dumbass. In the hero's journey, there is always something that sets the hero different.

Being born half-god. Having elemental powers. Coming from an exploding planet far away. Connected to the mystical field that surrounds and binds everything.

It's this advantage (and sometimes curse) that equips them to be the hero.

Fucking learn some mythology.

You could have easily googled it.

>Midi-chlorians are microscopic, intelligent lifeforms that live within the cells of all living beings. The Force spoke through the midi-chlorians, allowing certain beings to use the Force if they were sensitive enough to its powers. Midi-chlorian counts, used to determine a being's potential in the Force, could be tested by examining a subject's blood. The highest known midi-chlorian count—over 20,000—belonged to Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One who was believed to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians.[1]

>>78328205
Now you've got it backwards. Anakins strive for power to save his mother and Padme is what lead him to being Vader.

When he was Vader, all he wanted was to get rid of Sheev so he could rule with his family. When he thought he killed Padme, all he wanted was to take out Sheev, and more so when he found out he was lied to about Padme's death, and the fact that he did indeed still have family.

There won't be one. We already got the closest thing, Kylo Ren being Han and Leia's son, but even that wasn't so much a twist as something that was revealed early on and dealt with as the story progressed.

The PT didn't have a twist, either. The closest was Palpatine, but that was also something that was gradually hinted at, to the point where in ROTS Anakin realizing it isn't so much a revelation but a confirmation of what the movie itself had already been strongly hinting at from the beginning.

I don't mind it as much. OT and TFA are more a return to their spiritual roots, while the midi-chlorians were a more 'standardized' bureaucratic way of managing the force. When they were part of a vast Republic, all they cared about were the numbers. Age, and Midi-chlorian count, and nothing else. Now they may grumble about the age, but if they find someone even a little sensitive in the Force they will try to train them because it's the fucking Force.

The Force was actually a retrovirus instigated by Nyarlathotep to spread chaos in the galaxy knowing that the light and dark sides will never truly become at peace and its influence would increase the scale of death and destruction throughout the galaxy. This is why Sheev created the Empire in order to still order and why Snoke reformed it after his death and called it FIRST ORDER to continue putting the galaxy in order to stay the chaos, for they know that if chaos continues to spread in the galaxy then it would woken the Daemon Sultan in tended by blasphemous servants playing cacophonic flutes in the center of nuclear chaos of the galaxy, the Blind Idiot God Azathoth.

I think you're not seeing it in the context of the movies. The OT had the force become something of legend, a spiritual mystical force.

During the prequels the Jedi were losing power and their place in society among the senate, everything was more bureaucratic and secular and the force being defined by Midi-Chloian, was kind a way to contextualize how fall their values had fallen and how the force was perceived as now.

But Abrams approach is totally different from anything Star Wars has been before.

Star Wars has always had characters, adventures, action, sure, but it has also always had lore, a sense of grand imagination, a certain rhythm. There's a certain sense of pomp and ceremony to it, like you're listening to an alien bard recite an epic poem in an intergalactic mead hall.

Abrams has thrown the lore, imagination, rhythm, ceremony, all of it completely out the window, replacing everything with action. He's even compromised the characters for the sake of the action, because Rey is the flattest Mary Sue I've ever had the misfortune of seeing and Finn gets shoved face-first into a permanent comic relief role as soon as Han shows up -- Han, whose characterization has been completely walked back to his Episode IV personality, almost as if the character development in V and VI had never happened.

Even the action's been bludgeoned over the head with the Marvel movie bat, a mess of quips and non-stop explosions and lightning-fast cuts that never give the viewer a second to breathe and actually process anything they're seeing. It never feels like the action is actually meant to DO anything or advance the plot at all, it's just meant to look cool and pad for time until the clock dings and it's time to contrive our way to the next plot point.

Abrams has proven time and again that he doesn't understand Star Trek, but now he's proven he never really understood Star Wars either.
>>
>>78328477
Rey actually has no family, Luke used the Force to create a child of the Force in order to defeat the Dark Side knowing that he is too weak to beat them himself. He put R2D2 in the Resistance's care and have it activate only after Rey accesses the power of the Force for the first time. It is the map that would lead Rey to him in order to begin her training as the TRUE CHOSEN ONE of Jedi legends.

it's a very confusing hero that claims many names of other heroes then. Aang is a 12 years old asian boy with one name only, meaning he is different from that hero of yours (very different, actually). By the way that hero of yours should be concerned about copyright.

>Sumerian gods and death who wanted to fuck with normal people, Greek gods and monsters who wanted to fuck with normal people, monsters who wanted to eat normal peple, Roman empire/Jewish control who were fucking with the normal people....

Of course, everything people keep attributing to him outside of Palpatine's story is not. But since Legends is staying on as an idea pool writers can draw from, it's quite probable that a lot of those things will one day be recanonized.

that's what you just said when i asked for the name of the hero on that story.

Fact is, you cannot explain the story because it is not a story at all. As i said, you're trying to compare a dictionary with a book and that's a very poor argument. If we get Harry potter and Twilight, since they are both their own stories with particular elements we can actually compare and say what is similar and what is not. If you get a dictionary, you can simply say that everything is just the same. But a dictionary will never be a story book.

Even that was something he never had in the book or really anywhere, except the toy (which was a mishmash of various depictions of Plagueis and various outfits he wore in the novel).

But some idiots took the toy to be high canon or something and assume that since the staff looked VAGUELY like the one Rey had, it must be connected!

The point of the Hero's Journey is that all heroes tell the same basic story. The story of Aang is the story of Luke Skywalker is the story of Gilgamesh is the story of Genji is the story of Harry Potter is the story of Bella.

So when you asked for the name of the hero, it's any and all heroes. That's the point of the Heroic Journey.

The Hero's Journey is not a single story- it's all stories, of human's story.

how can it be the same story if they all have very, very different elements? story = "hero does this, does that, achieves X, finds Y". Story is not something as simple as "defeats the bad guy". I'll say it again: hero's journey is NOT a story. I don't know what you will call it, but you cannot claim that everything is a copy of it.

Alright, I see what you're saying. You're disagreeing with the word 'story' to explain the hero's journey. Since the hero's journey is not literally a story, but the explanation of the elements that make up all the stories, to umbrella it all under the word story seems incorrect to you.

But basically, yes, the hero's journey is the ur-story, the primal, basic structure of a hero's story. It's quicker and easier to explain as it's just the 'story', though.

So you're correct in disagreeing with the use of word 'story' to describe the hero's journey. You're still incorrect in arguing that Aang's story is not a hero's journey the same as ANH and TFA is a telling of the hero's journey.

Abrams could have fixed one of the most contrived parts of this nonsensical plot if he'd just not had R2 even show up until the end of the movie.

Like, Rey comes back from Starkiller Base, and then we get a scene of BB-8 roaming around, pulls off the cover, hey it's sadcoma R2, 3PO explains the sadcoma, BB-8 chirps at R2 in a way that's clearly supposed to suggest something along the lines of "hey dude, I got part of a map to Luke", and R2 wakes up RIGHT AWAY.

Why not? An actual anti hero would be something truly unique that we've never seen in a Star Wars movie before. An instant turn to the light would be disappointing and way too much like Vader's arc, imo.
>>
>>78329631

Once something stops moving, it no longer possesses inertia or momentum.

If he lets it go, there has to be a force impelling it forward again. It has no apparent source of forward inertia other than the initial push of being projected out of the muzzle of the gun.

If a blaster bolt has its own onboard source of propulsion pushing it forward and Kylo is simply holding it in place while it keeps straining against him, that just raises all manner of new questions.

Now of course we can just deal with all of this by saying Kylo pushed it himself with the Force to get it moving again, but then the question is why the hell he would do that.

This entire "hold a blaster bolt in place" thing is just ridiculous on its face, an example of Abrams saying "wouldn't it be cool if...?" and forgetting that Kylo Ren HAS HIS LIGHTSABER IGNITED AND IN HIS HAND AND CAN JUST DEFLECT THE SHOT WITH FAR LESS EFFORT.

Guidebooks never really get scanned official, so they'll have to be manually scanned.

And the people known for scanning Star Wars guidebooks haven't been heard from in some time. So it's probably a long time before we'll see any unless new guys show up or something.

Scanning involves basically destroying the book because you have to separate the pages from the binding to get a good scan of them.

Even when we discard all the physics questions, there's still the question of why Kylo Ren would waste the effort doing this when he could just deflect the bolt with his lightsaber and make it hit something he actually wants it to hit.

If he DIDN'T do it, it would also erase the question of why he couldn't do the same trick against Chewie's bowcaster. If he never does the trick in the first place, we never have to ask why he doesn't do it when it would actually be useful.

So from a storytelling perspective, it's a waste of time that hurts the movie more than it helps.

Telekinesis is not a new Force power.

Freezing Rey in place on Takodana, THAT'S a new Force power.

Ripping information from people's heads directly, THAT'S a new Force power.

This is a cool application of telekinesis that creates Chekov's Gun problems in the climax of the movie, which is exactly where you do NOT want Chekov's Gun problems.

If he'd gotten his injury from something OTHER than getting shot, there'd be no problem, especially considering that Chewie's bowcaster is also consistently shown to send targets flying on a hit but Kylo is able to just stay right there on his feet. Or if he'd never shown off the trick, there wouldn't be a problem, other than the bowcaster knockback one.

The point is, it might be a cool little gimmick for one scene, but if it was never in the movie in the first place, you'd literally never know you missed it AND the movie would make more sense. It's just not worth having.

He did it to show that there's no point continuing to fire at him. If he had used his saber, Ren would have been vulnerable to attacks still. Stopping the blast has the same effect as Vader being able to take shots to the hand; your blaster shots are useless against him

He couldn't do it to Chewies shot because he was all emotional about the force and Han.

Personally, I would have been fine with Kylo deflecting the block without even looking, then immediately stretching his hand out and using the force to pull Poe across the courtyard.

But I have to admit that freezing the bolt in the air was totally unexpected and pretty cool.
>>
>>78330190
True and we know he's not above inseminating women with the force
>>
>>78330098

Except firing again while he's holding the first bolt would make it easier to overwhelm him. He can hold one bolt, but that doesn't mean he can hold two or three at once. Vader pulled Han's blaster to him immediately after Han's first few shots, disarming him immediately. Poe simply doesn't fire again after firing once, for no clear reason, until two stormtroopers come to take his gun and haul him up to Kylo.

A well-aimed deflection could wing him and disarm him. Deflecting a shot or two and then pulling the gun out of his hands with the Force would work even better.

The whole scene makes no sense and only exists so Abrams can show off a CGI blaster bolt hanging in midair. This entire cool special effects bit revolves around everyone in the scene behaving in ways that make no sense to their character, to their motivations, to their abilities, or to anything at all, really. It's entirely contrived.

The shot came from Poe's gun. If Ren can halt the blaster's movement, I'm sure he could reverse it back at Poe, someone who would have no way of blocking it, and dodging it would only leave him open. Ren knew this, and kept it there as a threat and a reminder that he can stop laser beams.

No it's not, it's just a Mind Trick used offensively, and was first seen in TCW against Cad Bane. The Jedi were desperate because he had kidnapped children.

The only new force power was Kylo's ability to freeze things.
>>
>>78330544
Because he doesn't see it that way, he sees the light side as being weak and incapable of doing what it claims. He finds Vader to be an honorable figure. He's got an inverted understanding of what good and evil mean, so he looks at the light side the way every other Jedi sees the dark and is afraid of "falling".
>>
>>78330544
You're missing the point, it's a new concept that "Light side" =/= "Good side." We've always been treated to the force as if Light and Dark were inseparable from the concepts of good and evil. Now Star Wars has introduced the idea that a "Light Side" force user or users can be just as evil and and corrupt, kind of like inverse Sith or zealous Paladins of sorts.

Kylo Ren is being corrupted somewhere between both sides of the force right now. For all we know he might become the villain representing the corruption of the Light Side, rather than the Dark Side.

>Christ Kylo Ren is a bitch.
This is true admittedly. Dude was faggy as hell throughout the whole movie.
>>
>>78330544
Kylo Ren views the light side as weakness. He thinks it was sentimentality that brought the Empire down and killed his grandfather (and many other people in the galaxy). That's why he wants to become immune to the light. Killing his own father was his first real test and by doing this he succeeded where even Vader failed. But Kylo could only do it because his father said "yes" when he asked him for "help". We will probably see him regret his decision in the next movie if they want to give him a heel face turn.

And that's not even really new. I don't see it as any different than any other time you grab something with the force.

This. he's trying to purge himself of emotions like compassion and empathy because those personal feelings for friends and loved ones will prevent him from doing "what has to be done".

He is continuing what Vader started, but ultimately failed to do, because he gave in to compassion for his son.

In order to ensure that he doesn't fall into the same trap, Kylo kills his father. Now the temptation is gone. There is now 0% chance his dad is going to keep coming back and convince him to join the light side the way Luke did with Vader.

He just needs to get mom next.

Because that would take a long time (probably around a month) and by then everyone could have left the planet. You could probably try and force them on the planets if you had enough soldiers but the First Order is ANH Rebellion tier (aside from owning a fuckhuge weapon)

Force Jump in RotJ. Speed in TPM. Everything else I can think of was in TCW.

I'm pretty sure if the sun disappeared it would take less than a month for the planet to get fucked. But I'm not a scientist.

Kylo was a whiny faggy little bitch, get over it.
But that's kind of the whole point of his character isn't it? Him realizing how immature and faggy he is, and how he has to git gud for the next installment so he doesn't embarrass himself every time he shows up.

>That said, how many force powers were introduced in movies other than ANH? Force Lightning in RotJ is all I can think of at the top of my head. Most of the shit in the prequels was just an exaggerated version of the powers that already existed.

Luke using the force to pull his lightsaber to his hand was the first time we had ever seen the force used to move stuff.

It would be a shitty exploit if it had worked, but I don't think it did. I maintain that Chewie beat Kylo Ren, and Rey just sped his defeat. Gut shots are no joke.

But there isn't a single light-side Force user in the damn movie. Kylo Ren is clearly buried in the dark; although he SAYS he's being tempted by the light, he never actually seems to display it in his actions. It's all told, pretty much never shown. For all we know, he was tricking Han the whole time on the bridge and was always going to kill him.

I don't know where you're getting this idea that light side =/= good side or the idea that a light side Force user could be evil or corrupt, because it's absolutely NOWHERE in the movie.

This whole idea of Kylo Ren feeling the call of the light is just a way of doing the same "there is still good in him" thing that we did with Vader in Return of the Jedi, except without any of the effectiveness. We got two whole movies of Vader being pure evil with no apparent hope of redemption, and all throughout Return of the Jedi he insists that there is no conflict within him, right up until the last minute when he finally gives in.

Kylo's redemption could not be more telegraphed if it was actually tapped out in morse code across cables. There's not a trace of subtlety about it at all.

He is supposed to be kind of pitiful. Physically dangerous, but emotionally/develop,mentally fucked up and unstable.
>>
>>78330706
I fucking loved his emotional instability. When Yoda described anger, fear and aggression as facets of the dark side in TESB, but we've never seen a character on the dark side who is as fearful, angry and aggressive as Kylo Ren. This is how the dark side is supposed to be. I loved how he punched himself in his wound when fighting Finn and Rey.

I was gonna list that at first, but we'd seen Vader lift people in ANH.

Other than Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith.

Kylo Ren seems to be stuck somewhere between the temptations of the light and dark side. Leia even states there's Light in him, but that's what's driving him crazy.

It doesn't seem to be so much "Still good in him" as that there's more to the force than we've accepted so far. Even in the Prequels we see lots of signs that the Jedi can be huge mega-dicks most of the time and going too far to the light can turn you as over-zealous, distant and cold hearted as dark side killer.
Dark side = Embracing anger, hate, emotions and letting your passions control you
Light side = Banishing all emotions and letting strictly the force guide your actions

Then he could have just pulled out his lighrtsaber and cut him down. No need to pause, remove his helmet, give his little speech, cry, and hesitate for a moment.

Vader started showing he wasn't so much interested in killing Luke as working with him in Empire Strike Back, where he repeatedly states that he has no desire to kill Luke and wants him to join him in overthrowing the Emporer.

The EU did better in this regard. Jacen was conflicted, he still wielded the Dark Side, but he did it out of concern for galactic peace

>>78330800
Kylo Ren was being 100% honest and sincere with Han. It was plain as day. He's a good person desperately trying not to be because he believes at his very core he has to be like Vader and accomplish some goal that can only be reached by going to the dark side. We don't know what that is yet, but you can bet we'll be finding out in the next film. He's literally a protagonist, his amount of screen time in the film is greater than Vader's is in ANH and he's a developed character. He's not meant to be a villain, the villains are Snoke, Hux, and Phasma. The next film is pretty much going to focus most of its time split between showing him train with Snoke and Rey train with Luke and he is almost certainly going to be shown struggling with deep regret over what happened with Han that will further lead him to the light. Which is what Han wanted all along, he not only let Kylo Ren kill him, but he did it for him just like when Obi-Wan let Vader kill him.

Except, you know, the biggest part of the film where he talks to Han.

Or when he pleads with Darth Vader to keep him staying on the Dark Side.

That's what the First Order is about.

Apparently, the New Republic in these movies is MUCH more of a loose confederation than in the EU. In their efforts to avoid appearing like the Old Republic/Empire, they've got pretty much no standing military forces, move their capital from planet to planet, and don't seem to exert as much influence on their member states.

Shit's gone on to be more like the mid/outer rim where rule of law is less important than the influence of local powers (for good or ill).

The First Order considers the New Republic to be essentially lawless and incapable of maintaining the kind of order/standard of living made possible by the Old Republic/Empire.

Their first big announcement to the galaxy is hyper-9/11. How in the universe could that ever be considered concern for peace; that's all but a universal declaration of war.

It was more like the US dropping nukes on Japan.

Except the First Order wasn't at war, so it's more like Pearl Harbor.

More like if ISIS declared their existence by completely wiping out Continental US.
