/swr/ - Star Wars: Rebels

Heartbroken Chewie makes me sad

So has anyone here read the TFA screenplay?

Oh joy, another thread filled with faggots desperately trying to look cool for hating TFA

Just read Obi-Wan and Anakin #1. What did /swr/ think of it?

did anyone post the short story Bait? it's not in the mega folder

TFA is a good film and very entertaining. That isn't to say it wasn't flawed as fuck. For example Rey is an undeniable Sue and Kylo gets diminished by poor writing choices in the final act.
Whatever the internal reasoning there was for it having what is going to be the central antagonist so easily dispatched in the final hour, especially after hyping him up the whole film, was not a good idea.

>>78883834
;_;

>>78884206
He's clearly going to get more and more capable as the trilogy goes on. They're actively building a "villain" here while the Originals sought to deconstruct theirs

Except it isn't? All the supposed flaws you people keep pointing out are just you nitpicking and bitching because it's not your precious EU.

>>78884664
How baseless can you get

>>78884471
That's what they're trying to do, sure but Rey's complete and utter dominance narratively in both Kylo and non-Kylo spheres there's no punch. Regardless of how 'damaged' he was at the time she still won. How she one in particular is more in line with my other point about her being a sue and the writing being poor. Given that he could have forced pushed her off the cliff or into a tree like he did at the start of the fight at any time during it.

>nitpicking and bitching because it's not your precious EU.
Whaaaaat?

>>78884206
I'm fucking tired of Rey being called a Sue. If you were to switch her gender with Finn's nobody would be calling her a Marty Sue, I guarantee you. A Sue would be something like fucking Bella who starts a literal war because she can't decide which guy she wants to screw. She'd be a Sue of Poe and Finn and Kylo were all clearly romantically interested in her. A chick in the leading role of a story not specifically targeted at women a Sue does not make!

>>78884664
>Except it isn't?
That isn't a question you off site colloquial writing shit bag.
Also yes it is flawed because PLENTY of people have had bones to pick with TFA. I mean shit I hadn't even held the fact that it's a complete carbon copy of NH with RoJ sprinkled in.
There are plenty of very real hardly defensible flaws, just because you're a fan boy doesn't make that a lie. It just makes you an idiot. I mean hell, I still really fucking liked the film, it's just really stupid in particular areas or at particular times.

>>78884650
This is nice and all but at that point he had already brutally murdered an entire village of sentient beings, including the women and children.

>>78884767
>I'm fucking tired of Rey being called a Sue. If you were to switch her gender with Finn's nobody would be calling her a Marty Sue, I guarantee you.

Your right because we call male marry sue's Mary sues anon

>>78884792
Easily swept under the rug. Jedi do shady shit like that all the time, they've just got the political clout to have it forgotten.

>It turns out that if Vader had taken off his armor, he would have had Super Strength and Super Speed. The emperor just told him it was life support.

So what kinds of stories do you guys expect to see from the upcoming Rebels episodes? I'm personally hoping for the return of Maul. He kicked ass in the Clone Wars show and his fate is still up in the air.

>>78884824
It's likely he was taken out during the Siege of Mandalore

>>78884767
>Sue of Poe and Finn and Kylo were all clearly romantically interested in her.
Well Finn is, Poe never really meats her, and Kylo has some sort of interest in her, though probably not romantic. That's not to mention that Han Solo wants her as a surrogate daughter so bad he offers her a job.

>>78884792
Nothing gets a Jedi harder than redemption.

>>78884856
I hate how she comforted/broke the news to leia not chewie

>>78884818
You're probably not referencing it but that RLM video about Vader's suit where they just read off of Wookipedia was amazing. One of their funnier videos.

>>78884824
I'd rather not see him in Rebels. Not only would this be the second time he's re-appeared in a new era, but he has no connection to the main cast. Even his connection to Mandalore is weak.

>>78884792
Considering the context, i can't say i wouldn't have done the same

>>78884818
He actually has those things though. At least, he has Force Speed still anyway.

>>78884824
I'm just hoping Vader vs Ahsoka is everything I want and more. Filoni has a lot of high expectations on his shoulders. Two of the biggest characters. As far as he is concerned, he needs to try and make it the most emotional and intense fight in the franchise.

>>78884514
Nice!

>>78884891
>C'mere random girl I need to give you a hug
>Okay you look like a grandma so I'm gonna hug you now

>>78884853
We never saw him get killed off. This is the creative team that took the fact that Luminara's death scene in Episode III as a reason to extend her life well beyond that point, along with Berris Offee. He's as good as alive as the writers ar concerned.

>>78884911
Well then you're fucked up too.

>>78884792
>Only remembering relatively good people for the bad things they've done

>>78884824
>I'm personally hoping for the return of Maul.
I'm not, I like the guy but he deserves a novel series or some comic to better see his story and the resolution of it.

>>78884962
What?

>>78884953
Did Luminara have a death scene in RotS?

>>78884907
He's god a beef against the empire since Paupatine killed his brother. This could be the chance to have a cool storyline about a morally ambiguous rebel cell lead by him, and a sith lord trying to pull Ezra under his influence who actually has a chance of getting Ezra's sympathy as they've both lost loved ones to the Empire.

>>78884916
>I'm just hoping Vader vs Ahsoka is everything I want and more.
Oh, I SO want more interactions between them! I'm glad they could get James for the show. They were going to cut Vader out entirely if they couldn't.

>>78884958
They Tourtured and killed his mom (possibly raped her) i don't blame him for burning that place to the ground

>>78884936
>Random girl
>Implying Luke, Leia and Han don't know exactly who Rey is and just aren't telling her so she can find out for herself because ultimately, it's her life and she shouldn't let whatever happened in the past define whatever her future may be

It was kind of obvious in how Han addressed her throughout the film, especially when they reached Takodana

>>78884935
Oh sorry to hear that anon
Yea I know to flick it

>>78884989
Nope, it was cut. Feloni and his crew took this as an excuse to say, "She initially survived Order 66!" and do more with her. We learn about how she really died in Rebels.

>>78884856
Feels like the "job offer" scene was a bit tacked on. Namely the reason she's so good with the Falcon, the reason he offers her a position in his crew (whatever that means after what happened to his last crew), was because he was going to die. The scene is something of a trojan "passing the torch" since Han was set to die and this establishes that the Falcon is in the hands of someone he approves of.

>>78884891
I like how Leia didn't need to be told since the Force passed it on in real time.

We may not know how trained Leia is but at least she is far more attuned than we've ever seen her. Outside the EU, of course.

Please, no. Son of Dathomir assured that Maul literally had no where else to go, no one to turn to and little if any real powerbase

Let him either die a pathetic wretch who was kicked from paradise or disappear into the deepest crevice in the galaxy like Savage found him. He shouldn't be able to affect anything anymore

>>78884935
Kylo Ren's lightsaber does hate computer terminals.

>>78884824
I'm hoping for more of Berris Offee, and especially some interactions between her and Ahsoka. She was originally going to blow herself up, but the writers cut that scene because they wanted to do more with her character. Since she was expelled from the order and presumably jailed, she could have survived Order 66 and escaped during the chaos that was the rise of the Empire.

>>78885066
She new Luke didn't blow up with deathsar.

>>78885066
Yeah, I really wish they hadn't cut the scenes of Rey in the flight simulator.

>>78885108
She's gotta be working with sheev right now. He had her in his grasp.

>>78885116
That was just a feeling she had, albeit one with the Force. Nobody argued this. Han dying was a far more powerful moment on par with Obi-Wan sensing the death of Alderaan or Yoda sensing the death of the Jedi across the galaxy.

>>78885085
>Indifferent shrug

It's not imposible

>>78885153
I could imagine the Empire assuming that she'd be alined with the Dark Side because of the bombing, even though she insists what she did was for the Light, and her using this as a way to hinder them from within.

Just because you've come up with some headcanon that makes it sound better doesn't make it ok.

>>78885137
Even worse, her explanation of it was almost impossible to make out since she and Finn were too busy shouting over each other.

Instead of making out.

>>78885085
It's the paladin's 'Baby Orks' dilemma.

In the end, society really doesn't care.

Though I doubt Sheev would let him live in the end. If nothing confirms his fate, I wouldn't put it past future EU writers.

>>78885179
I really want a jaded and PTSD Barriss inquisitor or hand story where her final test is eliminating Ahsoka.

She still believes she's right but has her doubt about the Empire. Which is how Ahsoks gets to her in their first few encounters by agreeing with why she fights, but not who she fights for. Then enters Vader.

I'd like to see how the two would interact, and being rivals to get to Ahsoka first. The hole thing ends in lesbians

Now there's a fight I'd pay to see. But the question is would she rock the dual sabers, single saber, or the terrible inquisitor spinny spin spin saber

>>78885340
>>78885085
This. Either the children would have grown up to do the same or they would die without the men and women he killed to raise them. If you don't like the mercy kill option, that still leaves a village full of orphans.

>>78885734
Lightwhip. Barriss becomes the nucanon Lumiya.

>>78885700
Anakin makes a point of clarifying that he didn't just kill the men but the women and children too. He does this for a reason.

Also you think the children helped capture and kill his mother?

>>78885696

AKA the most boring character in existence. Buck had his reasons but my god I'd rather he was leader

>>78885734
I hated the spin saber at first too but it grew on me.

The fact the Grand inquister used it like a rapier helped

>>78885726
Whether they approved is irrelevant but likely. They're still culpable as long as they allowed it to happen and supported those who did.
The whole village being guilty isn't really at question, the way I see it, it's more whether execution was justified. Which given the emotional situation and heinous degree of the crime some would argue it was.

Pretty common. There was some hilarious shit in the screenplay form the best scene in Dark Knight Rises

>>78886214
Qui-Gon was a vapid waste of Liam Neeson, whose only characterization was cheating, swindling, gambling, and screwing the rules to get what he wants while conveniently chewing out everyone around him for the same behavior, like the stoned-out hypocrite he was.

Prequel Yoda was a confused, indecisive mess of empty wisdom and utter powerlessness as everything around him goes to hell. He has no agency in his fate or that of the Galaxy, the Republic, or his fellow Jedi, and exists simply to be the Force's oblivious punching bag.

Plo Koon is perfect.

Now now. Qui-gon was a clever fella that doesn't get enough credit. He even attempted to guide Ani from the grave using the force ghosts he figured out. Hell he was even trying to get Anikan, Obi-wan and Yoda to sort their shit out to little avail.

Yoda had some moments of clarity before the fall but was too wrapped up in what he trusted to be true and focusing on solving the little things rather than taking in the whole picture.

And Plo is Plo.

Playing Rebels in Galactic Conquest was always fun. It made you feel like an underdog.

And when you'd steal a tank, it'd start playing TIE Fighter Attack, which made it feel like kind of a caper.

Do you not understand what scripts are for? They need to convey to the cast and crew what sort of tone different things have. The "badass", although it might sound silly, serves a purpose. It tells everybody working on the scene, particularly Harrison Ford, how it's meant to look.

It's an intelligent double saber design that actually works, because you weild it one handed for the most part and those times you don't, it has a handy pair of handles. Maul's was just fucking retarded...much like Maul, really. Notably he stops using the idiot sword in TCW when he grows a brain of his own.

>>78887095
Who is "them" in your situation? The script isn't for the audience. It's for the people actually making the movie. And yes, the people making the movie won't know the tone of one particular action unless you tell them. They could guess and get it right or come up with their own interpretation. But if you want them to do it how you want than you put it in the script.

This is pretty basic and obvious stuff.

>>78887061

They do, but having "HE HATES HIM" and "THIS PART IS BADASS" is just lazy. Even Lucas's frequent shorthand of "they fight" instead of describing an action scene is less idiotic than this.

>>78887079
>He ended up just being a pretty standard "command my minions from my throne" villain.

I don't mind that so much as long as there is a decent twist down the line. Like it turns out that the man behind the curtain is the true Wizard of Oz. What would be the biggest twist? Snoke is actually Jar Jar? Ghost Yoda? Luke? Sixes? Boba Fett? The ghost of the entire EU? The Vong? Emperor Palpatine? Luuke? Ewoks? Jabba the Hutt? Jabba the Hutt's son? Luuuke? Uncle Owen having faked his death in ANH? Lando?

No, I'm betting the biggest possible twist is Snoke is actually Han Solo. Faked his death so he could rule the galaxy as Father and Son because Leia was a strict wife and mother and wouldn't let them go to Nar Shadda to get the boy his first prostitute on that holiest of days when Ben turned Space Legal.

>>78887144
>Maul's was just fucking retarded...much like Maul, really. Notably he stops using the idiot sword in TCW when he grows a brain of his own.

They literally won't. It lets the actor know whether they should be shaking and crying or scoffing and barely paying attention to their surroundings. Otherwise the actor will just have to assume the emotions they're supposed to be showing and possibly assume wrong.

Lazy how? Scripts aren't literature, they're blueprints. When it comes to descriptions in scripts the rules are basically the opposite. You want to make it obvious and succinct. The actors need to know what they're doing and how their character feels.

>Even Lucas's frequent shorthand of "they fight" instead of describing an action scene is less idiotic than this.
Choreographing a fight scene isn't the job of the screenwriter either.

So you're just bothered by the phrasing of the sentence? Why didn't you just say so? I understand laughing at it because it makes it sound like the writers are just being children. But acting like the word "badass" has no place in a script whatsoever is very misguided.

unlike in the script, in the movie, the last thing Han does is reach up and stroke his son's cheek. Given what I've read over the years about Ford on the set of the OT, I wonder if he ad-libbed that.

Also, Ren is weakened by killing his dad even before getting shot.

>>78888434
You gotta give it to Kylo's actor though. He made those lines work.
That took some prime acting.

Playing Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, funnily enough. Storming the Empire's command posts on Dantooine. Destroying the Star Destroyer felt hollow.

In the movie, Chewie stars mowing down stormtroopers. Also, Finn didn't have to drag Rey out by force.

The fight here doesn't include the part where Ren knocks him down and turns his back on him, nor the part where he pins him to the tree and starts burning his shoulder.

But he was total cringe in the Vader shrine scenes.

He also doesn't disarm Finn before running his saber along Finn's spine. Here it's a torso injury. I'm not sure how well Finn's going to be walking.

Sometimes, this film. The screenplay makes it sound even more even.

As it is I'm surprised all three of them came out of that as intact as they did. Finn and Kylo should both be dead, and Kylo should be missing a few limbs. For whatever reason it seems like only the very tip of the lightsaber ever made contact, enough to wound but not to do any fatal damage. Like how do you get slashed across the face with a lightsaber without also losing most of your head?

I feel like the "long beat" was a little too long.

Also, the dark side.

>You don't randomly capitalise and underline words during action sections and use heaps of exclamation points and ellipses.
Yes you do. Some directors might not like it but it's not against the formatting or standard practice. Emphasis and pacing is an important thing to convey too. Scripts aren't just for the actors.

I guess all Sheev really just needed the clone army to kill jedi given they have samurai jack syndrome.

>>78888774
killing via rage and anger is the bad thing

Luke was trained to be an assassin

>>78888774
It's actually that she was completely enraged and full of hate for him.

I know this scene annoyed a few people.

That screen play writing is like it's written by someone on both coke and weed and probably some amphetamines too.

But seriously, even the script doesn't say how she knows who the fuck Leia is?

I think he means the WGA restricted version of the screenplay.

The planet with the first jedi temple is named ahch-to.

Luke knows who she is.

Also, I'm amazed they resisted the urge to have her say "help me, Luke Skywalker, you're our only hope".

>>78887162
Who was this warrior fighting for? He doesn't sound like a Jedi. Was this still at the burning temple? I mean, it was in the rain by now.
So... Do the knights of ren have other enemies? People from Lor San Tekka's religion perhaps?

>>78886945
That first question was the only one I ever asked, and that was only back in '96 when I read the damn books.

Oh yeah, I forgot about this one. Confirmation that they lost Ren to Snoke before he reached adulthood.

If Rey being hidden is indeed related then it happened 14 or so years ago, when Ren was about 16.

>>78888596
Good point though, how was the actor supposed to make the big bad's secret emo fetish seem cool and scary?

Cringe is painful, but its not a bad thing.
