is there going to be a new TRAITOR! stormtrooper?

Let's see, using Rey as an example

>She's kind, mature, and self-sacrificing

>Expert Mechanic (better than Han)

>Speaks every language featured in the film

>Ineffable moral code

>Better shot with a pistol than professional soldiers armed with rifles

>-Stronger in the force than Luke's former apprentice

>Flies the Falcon like Lando within two minutes of crashing it into the ground, including initiating and recovering from a low-altitude stall. Goes from rookie to expert pilot in no time.

>Successfully uses the Jedi Mind Trick on her second attempt.

>Knows how to use a lightsaber upon picking it up. Just compare that to Finn's experience, and Finn had professional CQC training since he was a small boy. She then absolutely schools a trained Force-user.

Her only "weakness'" are that she recoils from Luke's saber after touching it, which isn't even really a weakness since it's overcome just a little while later. She also doesn't want to leave Jakku so she doesn't miss her family if they come back for her.

The only weakness' the character actually has only plant the halo more firmly on her head. She shuns power and is loyal and trusting to a fault. So let's contrast that with Luke in A New Hope.

>Excellent pilot

>Good shot with a blaster

>Slight force ability

>Excellent moral compass

On top of that though, he's a naive, whiny ignorant farm-boy with a fantasy of being a hero. He isn't useful with the force, isn't good at fixing anything besides prying crap out of R2's chassis. He has zero skill with a lightsaber. He gets ambushed by sand people and passes out, and nearly gets disemboweled by an outlaw in the cantina until Obi-Wan saves him. He can't save his best friend, who gets disintegrated by Vader while protecting Luke, and nearly gets shot down twice before he even enters the trench. Even then he's only saved by Han swooping in to take out Luke's pursuers.

And of course spergs are flipping out because the main character is a woman. It must be terrible, getting triggered every time a movie has a protagonist that isn't a white guy. I'm glad I don't have that problem.

>IT'S ABOUT A REBELLION AND THERE'S A WOMAN ITS JUST A HUNGER GAME RIPOFF STAR WARS IS RUINED

>>81561955

>>81561955
>they can do everything easily

Because they're assembling a team to find the Death Star plans, the most secure military secret in the galaxy? Maybe you need people that are skilled for that. Luke was an OP farmboy.

>>81562012
I was hyped for Rey, up until I saw the movie. This movie is going to have to prove to me that they're going to give her a real character, not another conflictless perfect at everything goodie goodie.

>>81562295
I've read all the new canon books and comics. Even the shit ones.

Why should I quit being autistic now?

>>81562297
I heard that. I hope it's nothing more than a background appearance

>>81562006

>She's kind, mature, and self-sacrificing
so is luke. he has his moments of immaturity, but when you look at his actions, even in ep 4 he's pretty fucking solid.

>Expert Mechanic (better than Han)
she spent her life surviving on a scrapyard planet. also, just because she solved one problem doesn't mean she's better than han.

>Speaks every language featured in the film
this is barely even a point. being multilingual isn't some kind of superpower, it was just there to show that finn was relatively isolated.

>Ineffable moral code
name one time luke broke his moral code. he clearly used his anger in battle, but so did she.

>Better shot with a pistol than professional soldiers armed with rifles
so was every OT hero. also, he was a better shot with proton torpedoes than the rest of the elite squadron he joined. you know why? the fucking force.

>-Stronger in the force than Luke's former apprentice
no. he had a bowcaster hole in his side during the fight, and was clearly getting worse the whole time. if you're talking about the mind invasion thing, he was NOT expecting her to be force sensitive and got blindsided.

>Flies the Falcon like Lando within two minutes of crashing it into the ground, including initiating and recovering from a low-altitude stall. Goes from rookie to expert pilot in no time.

>Successfully uses the Jedi Mind Trick on her second attempt.
she just had a fucking brain invasion tutorial. luke made a 1-in-a-million shot at the end of the movie and somehow that's more plausible than a mind trick?

>Knows how to use a lightsaber upon picking it up. Just compare that to Finn's experience, and Finn had professional CQC training since he was a small boy. She then absolutely schools a trained Force-user.
she fought with melee weapons all her life. she had WAY more training like that than even ESB luke, and her opponent was handicapped

>>81562370
If you told them Diego Luna's name was actually David Miller they wouldn't even notice he's not white

>look at /tg/ thread
>they're just chilling and talking about the imperial tech in the trailer
this side of it is making me really excited for the movie. I can gloss over that "I RE-BELLE" line.

>>81562370
Because white male leads are more relatable to most of the world's audience. I can't relate to female characters at all.

>>81562297
>No but there will be a CGI Pete Cushing
Do you think it would look better than the CGI young Jeff Bridges? I'll be honest, that was creepy.

Rey is not particularly kind, and is quite immature

>>Expert Mechanic (better than Han)

>>Ineffable moral code

Just like Luke and Leia.

>>Better shot with a pistol than professional soldiers armed with rifles

Stormtroopers have never been able to shoot for shit.

>>-Stronger in the force than Luke's former apprentice

So she's the Mace Windu of her generation.

Yes, after having been mind-interrogated by Kylo and deciphering what he was doing.

Ok, you're clearly autistic or something. And I'm not using that in the "4chan buzzword" sense.

I'm sorry normal life and interactions are so puzzling to you.

>>81562338
as far as the piloting thing, which I had to delete because comments were too long: she had a flight sim in her AT-AT house and luke was just some kid who shot womp rats who blew up the death star. do you seriously believe dealing with 2 tie fighters in a large, shielded freighter was harder than THE DEATH STAR?

her weaknesses, to address that point, are that she's a deeply fearful person. she could've left jakku years ago, but didn't, because what else could the galaxy have for her? She's afraid of the lightsaber and the force and kylo ren, because she's the opposite of luke. he wanted to get out into the galaxy, but couldn't leave his family. she wanted her family to come to her on jakku and to stay in a place that was shitty, but at least couldn't fail her more; but her moral nature pulled her away from this. Up until the moment she takes that lightsaber in the duel, she's trying to run away, to return, to cower -- just from a different angle than finn.

Oh honey. Being serious, what are you basing this on? Anime stereotypes?

>>81561828
Star Wars was ALWAYS Leftist/Liberal propaganda trash. Remember how Princess Leia was an unrealistically capable ass kicker who was rude and the males put up with her BS? Or how about that the Empire was composed SOLELY of Evil White Men while the heroes were multicultural? Lando anyone?

Putting it simply it was always like that. Just that it was more "subtle" but as always there's a slippery slope.

So why is she wearing an Imperial outfit in the trailer? Does she defect?

I like Boyega but that isn't true at all. He got the part because JewJew wanted his black bull in the movie and if he didn't get it he was walking. Thank God Boyega was an actual good actor and not one of the American gangsta niggers.

Not true, Boyega gave the best audition. Finn was written as a white man, in fact Poe Dameron was conceived as a black man.

Denial and stubbornness are negative traits regardless of your spin.

But more specifically her arrogance in flipping the circuit breakers on Han's ship lead to the ship being overtaken by Rathars,and them fleeing in the falcon brought the first order to Maz's castle, which lead to Rey being defeated and captured by Kylo. Rey getting caught indirectly lead to Han's death.

Rey is headstrong, and she made choices that endangered countless others around her.

>>81563743
Rey was a clear mary sue. It's not her fault however. I have a writer friend in Hollywood and she says the problems with female leads in film is that you either don't have time to truly build a character up to the level they want to or people are afraid that if you take the time to develop a female character and start them helpless that people will think you're sexist. It's literally now impossible to win with a female lead

I'm so tired of these mary sues. I like to remember the good days when heroes weren't just perfect rebellious ass kicking machines that didn't just dismantle any problem they came across.
Like john matrix from commando, or John Spartan from demolition man, or Conan the barbarian from Conan the destroyer, Or James Dalton from roadhouse, Or James Bond, or Snake Plissken, or Dirty Harry.

Those guys were all about their vulnerability and shortcomings not about how just bad ass they were. but nope if you make a lady it's gotta be a mary sue. Oh how times have changed for the worst.

Nope. America is growing tired of these unrealistic Female Leads that are Men with Tits. Basically not true to female nature. Anyone remember that former Disney animator who used to work on Little Mermaid making his own project and he literally said something along the lines of:

"This mini-series about plane engineers will be unique. It stars two female leads."

Neither Padme nor Leia are leads. And Men with Tits are characters who literally would've been the same if they were men and being a woman adds nothing at all.

>>81564178

>>81562338

That right there fucks your entire argument. Luke had flaws man, Rey does not. Literally the only thing that was considered a flaw is that "she's too kind/trusting" which is a bullshit thing to call a flaw.

If your entire defense consists of saying other characters must also be Sues then you're arguing an utterly flawed point.

>The Sue is instantly liked by all other characters
>Multiple characters fall in love with her usually for no reason
Finn falls in love with her. Han gives her a job. Leia comforts her over fucking Chewie. Maz gives her the lightsaber. Kylo wants her to be his student. Snoke wants her.
>The Sue is unrealistically intelligent, courageous, and/or selfless
>The Sue learns difficult things unrealistically fast.
Rey is a scavenger on a desert planet with no watching over her but a asshole trader. Luke had his aunt and uncle but Rey has no one. Yet instead of being a selfish shit like Ezra is initially she's selfless and caring putting BB-8 over food even though she just fucking met him. She learns about the Force and then almost immediately after master high-level Force techniques that take other characters years to learn. The first time she wields a lightsaber she beats a man who's trained years in its use. She overpowers this same man in a Gorce duel of the minds with zero training. Not even Luke in ROTJ could keep Vader out of his mind but Rey can keep Kylo out even though she should be scared shitless.
>The Sue has no or insignificant character flaws
None of Rey's supposed "flaws" seriously impact her and she's already over them by the end. While Luke's recklessness bit him in the ass repeatedly, in both ESB and ROTJ, Rey overcomes her "fear" in the same movie and is all set to be a Jedi with zero qualms about her family anymore.
>The character is living the authors fantasies
This one is harder to prove and may be the only one Rey doesn't meet.

>>81564020
>She just so happens to know how the doors work on a Death Star shes never been on before?

Beautiful thing about imperial design, all their ships are uniform. Just like the wrecks on Jakku.

>She instantly knows how to use the Force Mind Tricks after them being done to her only once?

She gets mindbattled by Kylo Ren several times during his interrogation of her.

Seems like stormtrooper armors has been changed in this movie
seperate cod, black strap hold the bak and upper front armor together. Seperate backplates, eyes are further apart and "angrier". brow is closer to the eyes, bow inside on the arm

I really hope Finn's father is Lando and his mother is Leia

>>81564312
is 30 years the timeline?

>>81564294
Confirmed for watching with your ass. He never goes toe to toe with Vader in ESB. Vader is toying with him during the majority of the fight and when he starts putting effort in it, he almost immediately chops of his arm

>>81564342
Yeah. Rey is 19, Kylo is a little under 30 in TFA.

The funny part is that we knew very early on that TFA would be 30 years after ROTJ, but that still didn't stop people from pushing insane theories that were already disproven simply by the timeline, such as Rey being the daughter of Palpatine or Obi-Wan (with Satine as the mother in a few versions, which is even more insane), or Finn being the son of Han and his fake ex-wife Sana.

Who was bleeding from a gut wound and severely emotionally compromised, and already wounded from Finn.

>>81564324
Do you have some images of it? If they did change the armor could it be for stunt-actor comfort or could it just be different uniforms for different regions?

Since these stormtroopers work in coordination with Death Star security, could they have better armor than just the regular stormies elsewhere?

KYLO REN IS SO UNNERVED BY HER FORCE POTENTIAL HE GOES RIGHT OT SNOKE TO MENTION IT.

Being able to do Jedi Mind Tricks takes training. There's even a throw away line by Kylo Ren to his Master about how he's trained and Rey can just Mary Sue out of anything. In fact I think this is mentioned when she escapes AFTER using the Jedi Mind Tricks.

Be it Fantasy or Real it should take some time to learn something as hard as doing Force Mind Tricks. Yet, in a single interrigation session she's able to comprehend this all at once? Even Mary Sue Light Novels from Japan at least have a small training arc for when they learn some bullshit.

At this point you are ether an insane, denying Anon or a Trolling Anon mimicking the insane people on Reddit and YouTube who insist she's not a Mary Sue.

>Maz gives her the lightsaber. Kylo wants her to be his student. Snoke wants her.

So, just like Obi-Wan, Vader and Sidious with Luke, then. Come on, this is low-quality bait.

Not in the same movie, though. Only Obi-Wan cared about him at first. Vader and Palpatine wanting their mitts on him didn't happen until later.

>OP piece of shit that would fit right in with the Old EU.

Hey now, don't you drag my beloved Old EU into this. Maybe it's got some problems. Okay, maybe it's got a lot of problems. But I'll take Dark Empire I & II over these new movies that just seek to endlessly bleed the original trilogy for sustenance.

>>81564922

Perhaps she's Luke's daughter with Leia?

For real though, I will say what I have said before: Rey and Kylo Ren both each look like a combination of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. It's just that Rey looks like she could be their child, while Kylo Ren looks like a Frankensteinian creation made from their bodies.

>>81565042
yeah it was a disappointing trailer. they really want the sjw audience. but the leaks lead me to believe otherwise.

>>81565113
It's a condensed version of the OT.

I'm just glad the next two have different directors.

>>81565115
This. The new stuff has been consistently below average, all because Disny is more interested in pandering to manchildren over expanding the universe.

>>81564811
>Being able to do Jedi Mind Tricks takes training.

Who says?

>There's even a throw away line by Kylo Ren to his Master about how he's trained and Rey can just Mary Sue out of anything. In fact I think this is mentioned when she escapes AFTER using the Jedi Mind Tricks.

"“That's all she is, yes. A scavenger from that inconsequential Jakku. Completely untrained, but strong with the Force. Stronger than she knows."

>Be it Fantasy or Real it should take some time to learn something as hard as doing Force Mind Tricks. Yet, in a single interrogation session she's able to comprehend this all at once? Even Mary Sue Light Novels from Japan at least have a small training arc for when they learn some bullshit.

She figures out the fucking force trick from Kylo Ren tugging on her brain like the angry child that he is. She tests it out on a storm trooper. She fails, then tries again.

If you watch her eyes you can see the wheels turning as she figures it out.

>At this point you are ether an insane, denying Anon or a Trolling Anon mimicking the insane people on Reddit and YouTube who insist she's not a Mary Sue.

blah blah blah, false binaries, blah blah blah.

>>81565030
I'm sorry Anon but if you were trying to make us think she's cute you chose a pretty bad picture of her to show that. In fact, it does the exact opposite and shows how ugly she looks.

Obi-Wan stayed there to look after Luke in ANH.

> Vader and Sidious with Luke
Vader tried to kill him in ANH, in ESB found out later he was his son and cut off his hand when he refused to join him. And in RotJ Sheev wanted to have a stronger Apprentice because Luke beat his father. All this happened gradually over the progression of the OT.

The stuff with Rey happened all in one movie.

>>81565205

Which one?

>>81565156

Dunno, man. The official media all points towards Hunger Games in Space.

Why does a trailer for Rogue One feature no clips of X-Wings flying? Even the teaser for TFA had at least that. Isn't that what the Rogue Squadron's core purpose was?

>>81565230

>>81563503
Emperor isnt dead yet. Its not his time, however, this is the first time we are being introduced to this role in the movies/cartoons. Id go gay to see one of his seconds be Thrawn though, so they can introduce an older Thrawn in a movie down the road.

>>81565227
Her teeth are pretty bad, she looks a bit autistic to be honest.

>>81565240
>The stuff with Rey happened all in one movie.

And? JJ just recycled the OT. He's gone now.

So this seems like the dirty dozen meets star wars. though im not sure if everyone on the team are criminals of some kind. But still, I'm cool with that. This looks interesting and I like that it isn't the biggest thing in the star wars universe. Theyre stealing plans that will help a great deal but theyre not destroying the death star or some shit.

The hero looks hasn't shown much but i'm loving donnie yen being in this. And Forest Whitaker.

At first I was offput by how it looked. It didn't feel star wars. But honestly I think that isn't the worst thing. As one of the things I was worried about were the new star wars movies just being attempts to be as much like old star wars films as possible. This looks like the action is framed differently, the characters aren't quite fairy tale people, it isnt as operatic.

I'm hoping the main girl isn't a straight out mary sue though i'm kinda wondering why everyone is jumping to that conclusion.

I mean she isn't shown doing much other than being a criminal who has committed some crimes, and beating up a few people or blasting some shit. Was there something mentioned about her character i'm missing? because as of yet she just seems like the typical capable lead of a band of action misfits.

>>81565271
what does that mean? I dont think the book series was about a heist? Legitimate question though.

>>81565205
What Star Wars episode, Rogue One? This is the story on how the first Death Star's plans were acquired.

>>81564477

>she used a mind trick once on a single stormtrooper

Ezra has never succeeded on a mind trick even once despite nearly a year of training now. Ahsoka tried a few in TCW, but I'm pretty sure she always failed. Obi-Wan was not seen attempting one until AOTC, 10 years after being knighted. Anakin was not seen attempting one until TCW -- again, after being knighted. Luke was not seen attempting one until Return of the Jedi, when he's almost knight-level.

The mind trick is NOT a newbie power. It's fucking hard.

>>81565286
There's a crashed black X-wing in that staff fighting scene.

>>81564474
the entire point of the character of kylo renis that he is smart and skilled but incredibly weak. he looks up to his grandfather for his obvious power and strength, luke not being the kind to lead with shows of force. thats why ben fell and became kylo.

just look at how anyone used to being around him acts: no fear. even when hes thrashing a lightsaber around madlylike a child in a tantrum, people just walk away. his only use is scaring village peasants.

he is a child who want to be vader and fails on every level. he also completely lacks personal conviction in himself and his actions (feeling the pull of the lightside).

that is why he instantly lost in a battle of wills to the first other force user he comes across and then runs off with his tail between his legs.

>>81565286
Rogue One isn't about Rogue Squadron. We've known that for months, dude.

>>81565286
its not the video game. its about a heist for the death star.

>>81565240
>Calling the Glorious Emperor 'Sheev'

>>81565312

The book was about a mary sue chick who rebels against a tyranical system.

And I'm talking specifically about the films, the visuals and narrative style look very similar to the Hunger Game films.

Why is this an acceptable way to write female characters now? Not just for Star Wars but over all.

>Ezra has never succeeded on a mind trick even once despite nearly a year of training now.

Ezra a bitch.

>Ahsoka tried a few in TCW, but I'm pretty sure she always failed.

Ahsoka a bitch.

Obi-Wan was not seen attempting one until AOTC, 10 years after being knighted. Anakin was not seen attempting one until TCW -- again, after being knighted. Luke was not seen attempting one until Return of the Jedi, when he's almost knight-level.

And Kylo Ren, with unfinished training, can do the mind trick on Poe and Rey.

>The mind trick is NOT a newbie power. It's fucking hard.

Nope, it's legerdemain. Easiest trick in the book.

>>81565332
>Ahsoka tried a few in TCW, but I'm pretty sure she always failed.
She had successes, but she didn't have a 100% accuracy rating.

To me the big sticking point is that Heir to the Jedi has Luke attempting the trick by waving his hand and then saying what he wants the guy to do... not only does it not work, Luke realizes he's just copying what he saw Ben do and actually has no idea what the internal mechanics of the trick are or how it's supposed to work. That alone tells us it's not self-explanatory and it's more involved than just going "you will do this thing"

>>81565440
What is this?

>>81565445
oh, that's understandable then. Yeah, it kind of does have that hunger game vibe. I'm disappointed it'll probably be a mary sue, but as long as she's not the super spotlight like Rey was, and she actually works with her team, I'll be okay with it. I'm more hyped to see Donnie Yen and the rest of the Rogue one crew.

>>81565458

Actually several people act scared shitless of him when he is throwing a tantrum.
After destroying a console the one officer can barely fucking speak the next bit of bad news, and the second time two stormtroopers halt and turn around going back down the corridor they emerged from to avoid walking past him.
That was people being frightened by what he can do.

YOU LITERALLY SAID IT

That line is basically "She's a Mary Sue, she's almost had no training what so ever in anything but she has the Force, so she can do everything right"

I tried to explain to the anon who didn't know where the latest episode was. Messed up and lost track of time due to the BBY/ABY crap. So I redid it: >>81565563

The timeline isn't supposed to follow the old system, just relative to other stories. So TPM would be year 0 and then every subsequent film and tv show would follow from that. No idea what they're gonna do once they add in Old Republic films and tv shows, though. You know it's gonna happen eventually.

>>81565205

If you mean TFA: it takes place 30 years after Return of the Jedi. A lot has changed, and very little of it has been explained. The Empire is gone, and surviving loyalists have formed the First Order. There's a big Evil Lincoln Memorial leading them. The Rebellion formed the New Republic, and now the First Order has wiped out the New Republic's capital and thrown them into disarray. Luke started a new Jedi Order, Ben Solo went crazy and killed them all and then went off to join Mr. Evil Lincoln Memorial. Luke decided to fuck off and look for an ancient Jedi Temple, and left a two-part map behind so he could eventually be found.

If you mean the upcoming movie Rogue One -- it's a side story set shortly before A New Hope. It will be the story of how the Rebellion found out about the Death Star and got the Death Star plans. So once it's out, watching all the canon movies in order (and I do mean ALL the movies) will mean I, II, TCW movie, III, Rogue One, IV, V, VI, VII.

If you mean the Rebels season 2 finale: Ahsoka was Anakin's padawan during The Clone Wars. Maul came back with robot legs in The Clone Wars. Ahsoka left the Jedi before Order 66 happened. Maul got the shit beaten out of him a few times, but survived and apparently wound up on Malachor. Vader and Ahsoka have now had a fateful encounter that was a very long time in coming, and it's not clear whether Ahsoka survived or not. Vader himself is of course still very much alive. Meanwhile, Maul is now roaming a galaxy that will apparently never be rid of him, like some sort of space herpes.

>>81565465
I dunno. The same reason why when we were kids it was an acceptable way to write a male character. People like bad ass heroes they can put themselves in the place of. Most chuck norris, swarzenegger, stallone, and van damme movies are designed to promote that very idea. It isn't some new thing just recently discovered for female characters it is simply not something you are nostalgic about nor something you find you can put yourself in the shoes of.

I'm not saying its good writing, it really isn't. but its the way hero characters have been written in a great many action and sci-fi movies long before now. And aside from critics of cinema most of us who grew up with that shit never had much of a problem with it.

to be honest we know a shit about Asoka after she left the Jedi. only that she poped up in the end as a part of Alderaan rebel party. thats all. it is unknow if she had connections to other rebel fractions like of MothMotna or Kashuuk and Calmari fractions. not to mention bonthans and Chiss empire, which actually financed part of rebelion completelly.

>>81564477
>She used a mindtrick once on a single stormtrooper.

A mind trick that requires training as mentioned before and most of all, a mind trick she didn't even know about ! My headcanon explanation for her shortcut to the Force and Jedi Boogaloo is that she stole it from Kylo when she briefly reversed the mind reading, à la Matrix.

>>81565174
