So this is the power of practical effects

Are we the bird, pecking at the remains of a once revered work?

Or are we what lies shattered upon the desert floor?

When Prometheus delivered fire to mortal men, he was condemned to all eternity, chained to a mountainside to be devoured by ravenous birds for all eternity. Truly, George Lucas is the modern Prometheus, and forever herein lies his punishment.

What Doctor Who is this?

Aside from the awful feathers, its head and legs and beak look nice. Or wait a minute, maybe it's not even a bird! Maybe it's just wearing those feathers as clothes!

It's not Star Wars if it doesn't have tons of unsettling, grotesque looking Lucas aliens. He had an aesthetic sense that Heironymous Bosch would be proud of.

you know, this scene was a moment when I know TFA isnt going to be very good. She saved a robot. After presenting herself as this scavenger capable of surviving on her own in third world country, her first thought when seeing a robot in good shape was "let it go free". She could lived couple of mouths from selling it and as she is someone who LIVES in sand shithole she should had knew how valuable robots are yet she didnt even took a second to think about it. That scene totally undermine the bargaining scene and made it pointless. We know she wouldnt sell it so the whole drama was fake as her orgasm.

Memes aside, the blend of the practicals and visual effects in TFA is real good, will age decently.

why
captain phasma would never be the next boba fett
both because she already proved herself to be a wimp in TFA and because she doesn't come close to being as ominous as boba fett

>>82080821
It reminded me of that as well. Now that the EU is non canon it's absolutely clear that they are going to steal bits and pieces from it (like Jyn Erso/Jan Ors).

>>82081111
He likes to disintegrate people, as it was implied in a very clever piece of dialogue. That was a pretty good first impression and way more badass poins than Phasma will ever be able to get after the massive screw up in TFA.

>there are prequels apologists still

You people need to stop being contrarians. I saw these movies as a preteen and while they were entertaining, they weren't Star Wars. At least episode VII was a callback to the original trilogy and wasn't all just CGI and politics.

I also don't see a problem with these practical effects. They are sure to still be appealing decades from now, as opposed to the prequels.

>>82076614
I sincerely believe whoever came up with this did not even look at any birds on wikipedia to get an idea of how they naturally move their necks and use their beaks to peck at something.

I guess it's in a galaxy far far away and things don't have to follow reason.

>>82080763
>That stock
He would have to bend his hand to the side to shoot it making it very awkward to shoot and the design means it is completely unusable as a stock anyway for a humanoid.

Phasma was terrible and it would take something major to redeem her complete lack of impact in the story and her literal into the trash she goes.

So ugly girls can identify with her. Or in other words, specifically Kathleen Kennedy probably feels ugly and she wants an ugly female character so that girls that feel ugly like her identify with her self insert.

>>82078610
The luggabeast failed to be convincing because of how slowly it moved. Things like the T- rex in JP were convincing because they moved like a real animal, and the OT knew this, so they just dressed animals up in costume (the banthas). However, that stupid pig hippo drinking from the water looked alright

Yes, an animal with robotic implants that make it able to work more, carry more weight, etc.

Space rhino with a cyborg helmet

Hm, but wouldn't some flying platform be more practical? Judging from the size of that animal, it should be hard to feed it at a desert planet.
