Why would abrams spend time out of your film for exposition and world building when Lucas already did that for him?

>>86901799
Because after the collapse of the Empire the galaxy would work differently to the OT times and the prequel times.

>>86901974
Yeah but at least we got to see a bunch of really cool action. And who really cares if the government would be different? It's just a fictional story.

So that means it can be shitty? Wouldn't you prefer your fictional stories to be written well? Or do you prefer easily digested shit shoved down your throat?

>>86902396
I prefer easily digested poop shoved down my throat because it's more enjoyable.

>>86902649
Pleb taste.

The patrician would prefer his poop in small amounts and very difficult to digest, savoring the exotic flavor in his mouth to make it more digestable first.

>>86901637
The politics parts in ep1 were HORRIBLE, how ever they were ok in ep2 and great in ep3 (because he copied Bush speak).

Prequels might have been shit, but at least Lucas tried to give us something new. TFA felt like bad fanfiction, even right down to the all-powerful main protagonist who is instantly trusted and loved by all. The only thing missing is for Rey to be related to someone important, which might happen in TLJ.

An Imperator prefers his poop in liquid form. Step it up, senpai.

That's where the new expanded universe comes in. Read Chuck Wendig's Star Wars novels, you plebeian.

I actually feel bad for Rian Johnson cause he has to take this shitty movie and make a sequel. Anyone with an inkling of story-telling skills knows that TFA did it all wrong. J.J.'s "mystery box" is so wrong in every way.

I don't feel bad for Rian Johnson, he was embedded with the "story team" to tie with his film, he asked JJ to tweak some stuff at the end of TFA. But this moron didn't tell him that Rey was a Mary Sue that ruined any possible character developpment. So far, TLJ seems like a hot mess on par with TFA.

wait a sec...

Why is Rey Luke's Padawan again. She's so much of a Mary Sue, she's literally a master of the falcon surpassing Han and Lando, an expert marksman and shooter surpassing Han and Chewie, and she god mode her way through the force defeating Kylo Ren first with force telepathy, then with force pull then with saber combat. And can peak every language including droid and wookie, and shed loved and adored and immediately trusted by everyone she meets. So again I ask you, what in the hell could god mode Mary Sue Rey possibly learn from Luke?

The prequels were always mixed, they contained good things and bad things. We can all agree to that. But what RLM did and what is so dangerous to the entire medium really is that they narrowed Star Wars down to strictly what the OT is and then proceeded to butcher the prequels for not being that. It basically painted the prequels as inherently broken, inherently wrong and inherently bad. This is simply false when considering the fanbase reception as there were clearly a ton of things that went right with the prequels and made a rightful place in the SW universe.

When RLM complains that TPM doesn't have a clear protagonist, he does so on the basis that ANH had one. But why must TPM have one protagonist? Why must we narrow down Star Wars to the ANH template? Funny enough Disney ended up following this route of the OT template and ended up failing miserably. Whereas Lucas took Star Wars, purposely went out of his way to create something new and original.

See, this is the issue with saying the RLM reviews. It in many ways reflect the most disgusting part of modern Internet culture, where what is different and new is treated with distaste and what is in line with expectations is praised to high heavens, even if all those praises will mean nothing as everyone will have forgotten the film the week after.

This.
She literally doesn't need training since she somehow knows how to do everything.

>Kylo Ren: You need a teacher. I can show you the ways of the Force.
>Rey: [softly to herself] The Force?

The whole movie was full of these one liners that were never explored any further. It's pretty frustrating
