Rey was a fucking mary sue and can't wait to see her fuck up something for once

I went into the movie thinking Kylo Ren was some cool motherfucker and left the room thinking he was a whiny faggot. They handled it 10/10

Black boy should be fucking dead, or at least paralyzed and crippled. I mean, he got wrecked by Kylo Ren and got cut by a lightsaber right in the fucking spine.

Spot the woman
All sort of reviews and articles have been emerging what about a piece of shit TFA is and how bad Rey is

http://www.wired.com/2016/01/geeks-guide-force-awakens/

>“I can tell you exactly who the movie is for. The movie is for a juvenile adult, somebody who’s loved Star Wars their whole life and is now a grown-up, hates the prequels, and wants a Star Wars that’s just for them. And it panders to that audience from start to finish. The moment that really resonated with me the most is a little bit before the mid-point, when Rey and Finn are connecting on the Falcon for the first time, and they’re going, ‘Han Solo the rebel general?’ ‘No, I mean Han Solo the badass smuggler!’ ‘Luke Skywalker? I thought he was just a legend, but oh man he was the coolest guy who maybe doesn’t exist in the whole galaxy!’ These are 20-something fans of Star Wars cast as the stars of Star Wars. It’s the most Mary Sue experience of that universe that I’ve ever seen—and that’s including many, many fan films that I’ve seen.”

Fuck everyone who missuses mary sue. She is not a writer self-insert, ergo she is not a mary sue, no matter how much bullshit it was that she just randomly developed Jedi powers without a teacher in a part of the timeline where so little is known about Jedi that they are basically myths.

Which let's be frank, was complete bullshit. Still not a mary sue.

it's absolutely retarded to have the bad guys get their shit fucked in the first part of the trilogy

the order should have been successful and the rebels should have been reduced to an even tinier force that would have to come back from the brink of extinction in the next movie

as it is there's barely going to be an enemy. I bet finn reverts back to his brainwashed state when he wakes up from his coma and he'll think he's a stormtrooper again and end up being the main villain.

I honestly thought the Hunger Games was a total Mary Sue fashion show, until I saw The Force Awakens.

Fuckin' a. Even Katnis loses once in a while, or fails to save friends. She is even saved by others. But Rey? Rey may as well have god mode turned on.

Maybe you guys liked it, but I have a hard time enjoying a film when I just can't buy the protagonist as believable or relatable. She also overacts in every scene; acting through her face like a year one drama student.

>>322434949
I prefer jiggaboo. Poor form on the verbiage, but point was well made.

>>322433037

This a an odd one but my immediate concern was how Ren was going to display a feat of force power not used already in the movies. I was impressed enough when I saw him freeze a laser blast. Other than that, Ren turned out exactly the kind of character I thought he would be, before watching.

I'm also glad they didn't sugar coat the storm troopers. In A New Hope, they slaughter folk if ordered to and they still do the same now. This also helped give fin a worthwhile introduction at the same time. you know a bit of his character before he even spoke and removes his helmet.

If feels even more apparent that Finns perspective is what the audiences is channeled through. At some moments, he just comes off as some random guy that was reported to the world of SW.

Rey was ok at first, but then started to irritate me, by the end.

Rey has a few moments of near-Sue, but they're just to progress the plot.
Her picking up the force quickly makes sense as she was trained at a young age, and daughter to onw of the most powerful force users.
Beating Ren makes sense because he was already heavily wounded and emotionally unstable.

Being able to repair the Falcon and fly it like a pro is a bit silly, but that's for plot reasons.

yes, but the rebels are perfectly safe and the order's main base with their huge fucking weapon was completely destroyed

Daily reminder if Luke was like Rey in A New Hope.

*Luke is an expert survivalist living on his own in Tatooine. He isn't subservient to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. He loyally waits for a lost companion to return.

*Luke steals R2-D2 from a Tusken Raider on a Bantha who has captured R2-D2. The Tusken just watches and rides away.

*Luke can understand everything R2-D2 says. C-3PO is written out since he's not needed to translate.

*R2-D2 follows Luke around obediently instead of running away and generally just thinks Luke's awesome.

*Luke meets Obi-Wan and tells him he's just a nobody and didn't even know the Force was real. Obi-Wan hands Luke his father's saber and then disappears from the movie. No training required.

*Luke experiences a "vision" upon touching the saber for unexplained reasons. Magic lightsaber?

*Luke enters the Cantina and knocks down Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan with a stick when they threaten him.

*Luke finds the Falcon with only Chewie inside as TIE Fighters start bombing the area. He jumps in and flies it with some wild maneuvers through Beggar's Canyon while Chewie works the gun port. They destroy the TIEs and return to get Han.
>>
>>322434961
I do wonder how it is that Luke is a legend. He gets his ass kicked everytime it counts & needs to be bailed out.

>>322435340

*Chewie is injured while running from Stormtroopers to get to the Falcon and Luke takes over as co-pilot.

*Luke fixes the Falcon's malfunctions by himself before Han can figure out what to do.

*Han is so impressed with Luke that by the time they get to the remains of Alderaan, he offers Luke a permanent job.

*They sneak into the back door of the Death Star unnoticed and somehow instantly find Leia's cell.

*Luke uses the Jedi Mind Trick on the guards at Leia's cell to get inside. (First time the Jedi Mind Trick appears in the movie.)

*Leia says Luke is amazing, thanks him and won't stop talking about wanting to run away with him and devote herself to helping him. Luke is not interested and says he just wants to be friends.

*Han somehow instantly finds the head Stormtrooper Commander and says he'll kill him if he doesn't shut down the tractor beam. The Stormtrooper Commander complies and they throw him in the trash compactor.

*Darth Vader finds the heroes. Luke watches as Han Solo confronts Darth Vader and is killed.

*Luke attacks Darth Vader and holds his own. He drops his saber but he is able to Force grab it before Vader can. (First time Force grab is seen in the movie.) Vader offers to train Luke. Luke lands several blows on Vader and cuts off his hand while remaining unscathed and Vader collapses in a heap. But there is an explosion that ruptures the platform between them and Luke must join Leia, Chewie and R2 back on the Falcon.

*Meanwhile, Wedge leads a small squad to do a bombing run on the Death Star. He easily hits the target without facing much resistance or even thinking about it much and the Death Star blows up.

*Luke officially joins the Rebellion at the end of the movie and is instantly selected to pilot a ship on a vital mission they've been waiting years to do. Their best pilot who just blew up the Death Star, Wedge, is passed over.

Mary sue means a character with no flaws first

It's only symptomatic of self-insert characters, not required
>>
>people don't realise that Force Awakens was the safe reboot
>they actually think the rest of the movies will be the same as this
They might not end up being good, but they won't play it as safe as this one. They needed to ease into the new trilogy, so they made a safely designed movie to appeal to most of the fanbase on a lower level so they feel a bit more comfortable knowing that the new trilogy isn't going to be prequel tier.

Poe was a boss, as expected
Finn was surprisingly good
BB-8 was way better than having 3PO around as a token droid.

I can buy Rey being a decent fighter from a lifetime of fighting off mooks and Ren having a bowcaster bolt in his hip, and a saber slash on his shoulder, but knowing the Falcon better than Han and Chewie was too much, even for Star Wars

>>322435154
I try to think of it as Fin being the main character. Movie's better that way imo; about a storm trooper disillusioned by the First Order and decides to join... the resistance?.. they fucked that part up but w/e, anyway so while trying to join the resistance he stumbles upon Rey and goes on wacky adventures throughout the galaxy.

I liked the movie and I liked Rey but dude, she learned to force grab a lightsaber, resist mind control and use the force on a Stormtrooper immediately without ever having prior training or knowledge.

I mean, at least Luke had Obiwan and Yoda help him. When he turned off his targeting computer and used the force to blow up the Death Star it was small, his first steps into a bigger world. Then in Empire he used the force to grab his lightsaber but only after presumably spending time after A New Hope training his mind a bit.

By the time he was using the force on peoples minds he had already had quite a bit of time to train with Yoda and by himself. Rey just does it all in one movie right away.

And she's a top notch pilot and knows everything about the Falcon and how to fix it right away. It's a bit too much.

It was all right, but I felt like Disney hampered many of the creative efforts, since this was literally the beginning of a franchise rebirth.

It was the little things that made Star Wars great, with all the little details about the universe coming in one after another, and they were effective enough to suspend your disbelief. Jawas are midget gypsies in hoods selling scrap metal from an anvil tank? Sure, why not?

But there's nothing really new in The Force Awakens. Desert planet, superweapon, Jedi force powers, X-wings, Stormtroopers, we've seen this all before, and what IS new isn't interesting.

Hopefully they will loosen the creative reigns a bit for the next few movies.

Watched for the second time with my brother and I enjoyed a bit more

Rey using the force the way she did is bullshit. Yea its obvious she was a padawain of lukes, but regardless of weather she is lukes daughter or not she should be able to use the force like that. she stopped training when she was like what, 6? then she can out mind play someone that has trained for years on end. Yea na thats fucking bullshit. Also that Maz Kanata having lukes saber but then saying " Lol how i got it is a story another sequal youl have to watch xdxdxd" is even worse

Apart from that its pretty solid

He killed a bunch of apprentices who weren't even done with their training... that's not the same as veteran jedi with combat experience.

The result was big but the act itself was small. He was already a good shot.

Nothing to do with force powers, they just have strong minds.

The new movie is pretty awful for a Star Wars movie. Looks like one, but certainly doesn't feel like one, even with all the cameos that are actually integral to the fabric of its story.

>>322436545
I audibly cringed throughout that entire scene.
>>
>>322436119
yeah the movie suffers from being way too safe. It doesn't try to do anything new, because they're afraid that if they fuck up the first movie of the new trilogy (in true phantom menace fashion) they'll lose their hardcore audience for the 8th and 9th movie, two productions disney is putting tons of money on.

I'm hoping that the 9th movie will really pull out something new and original and cool. I feel like the 7th is just Abrams saying "Hey, I watched star wars, too!", and the 8th is just gonna be filler while all the production goes into the 9th.

>>322435340
Luke is stuck at home.
Luke gets knocked out by a Tusken Raider.
Luke only leaves home after his family is killed and Obi-Wan convinces him to go with him, he can't save his family.
Luke stammers at the guards and Obi-Wan demonstrates force suggestion.
Luke starts a fight inadvertently and is saved by Obi-Wan
Luke does his first accomplishment in the movie, and AFTER getting blasted by a training dummy, deflects one shot.
Luke gets roared at by Chewie and Han has to handcuff him.
Luke gets called a manlet.
Luke gets strangled by creature in waste.
Luke does his second accomplishment (after blowing up the bridge controls which fucks their progress up) and he swings across a gap after a kiss from his sister.
Luke can't save Obi-Wan, watches him die.
Luke does his third accomplishment, shoots a Tie Fighter, gets told not to be so arrogant.
Luke then sees his friends die around him in some numbers before he reaches his penultimate climax in A New Hope, using the small amount of training Obi-Wan gave him and reaching out with his feelings to shoot an exhaust port that he said was very possible and not much smaller than Womp Rats.

Luke gets his ass kicked up and down the first movie, right up onto the Death Star.

Rey's only shortcomings are caused by other people. She gets out of everything by herself and has ludicrous control over the force.

What the film lacked was an Obi-Wan really.

Maybe Max Von Sidow should have been an accompanying character.

I think you guys misunderstood, I was arguing that Kylo Ren being beaten by Rei isn't that MARY SUE triggering because Kylo Ren doesn't really know how to fight with a lightsaber, the guy I was quoting said that Kylo Ren did have lightsaber experience by killing all the jedi apprentices. But my point is, those apprentices he killed who knows how many years ago were novices and whatever skills he has now are rusty enough to get beaten by someone more intune with the force and not wounded by wookie gunfire

Put the fucking pieces together, retard. Does everything have to be waved in front of your face? She's a jedi, son of THE JEDI MASTER OF THE FUCKING GALAXY, and you think she never received any training at all? You think he stuck her on Jakku for fun, and not to hide her from Ren?

Anakin won't, no prequel references allowed.

Maybe in name only, otherwise only Darth Vader will show up as a clone or some stupid shit.

Yoda seems unlikely, as does Obi-wan because Alec Guiness is dead and nobody wants to see Ewan Macgregor.

I don't believe Rey deserves to be unbeatable Mary Sue either but I believe she's gonna get her shit kicked in next movie. The circumstances were just literally all in her favor this time around. Just give it another year and a half.

brah, it would have been more believable to flip a switch or press a fucking button with the force rather then to start force persuading people out of nowhere, especially since she just found out the force was a thing. overall I gotta say, for being the "main" character, shes pretty fucking bland.
>>
>>322437093
To be fair, calling him a sith lord is kind of an insult to sith lords. He was a barely trained, incompetent, literal Darth Vader wannabe, and he was already severely injured when they fought. He's practically the Raditz of sith lords.

>>322437448

Finn is good for the first twenty minutes of the movie and then he turns into Kevin Hart.
Rey is such a Mary Sue that even friends and co-workers who barely use the internet are going "Gee, she did everything in one movie it took Luke three movies to do."
Poe Dameron is barely in the film.
There's a scene where they run away from shitty early-2000s era CGI that exists just so the "Han Shot First" folks can show that Han is a callous asshole loser who doesn't care about his crew.
Luke is only in the film for ten seconds.
>>
>>322437448
But Kylo Ren was heavily wounded, and already shown to be emotionally unstable, and literally just killed his own dad in cold blood. He was a mess during the fight. On a good day he'd wipe the floor with her.
>>
>>322437358
Ben's voice from beyond indicated that Ben was helping Luke guide the proton torpedoes.

Droids are very predictable in their shot patterns, watch the training scene again. Luke only needed to know a few key areas to defend, he was basically playing Bop It.
>>
Rey has no arc.

She starts off badass and ends badass. Only other people cause her to fuck up.

She's boring. Who cares what you call it or whatever fucking trope exists for it.

She's just boring.

Poe and Finn are alright, more so Poe. I'm glad Harrison Ford got his wish before he died in real life. Carrie Fisher does what she has to. I like Mark, I want to see how he goes in the next film. Him and Poe's actor are the only people I care about.

Kylo Ren is Anakin 2.0, well not that bad but close. I think the character concept was good but the direction around him seems pretty bad. I don't think it was the actor although it could have been. I think better takes should have been obtained to make him seem less like he's 17 years old.

It baffles me that people are actually saying this is worse than the prequels. I know /tv/ likes to shitpost about every new movie, but that's got to be some sort of cinematic sin to say the prequels were good movies.

Keep in mind that when she force grabbed her lightsaber she was pretty high up there emotionally. If anything that was let her do what she did, the pure rush of it all.
She's also the daughter of Luke, without question. It would go without saying that she picked up on piloting and such from him, as he was a top notch pilot back in the original trilogy, and Anakin before him.

Actually, that ship scene has nothing to do with "Han Shot First" folks, and everything to do with "Remember these movies that had Harrison Ford in them?" Nearly everything in that entire scene was a reference to other movies containing Harrison Ford.

He was raised in the First Order from childhood and "conditioned" as they call it in the movie.

Phasma even says he had no prior record acting out.

But he's young and it was his first mission. Maybe his heart was never in it. I understand that.

>Luke literally guides an explosive missile (far stronger than any blaster laser) into the Death Star's asplosion tube without a targeting computer cause a literal obi ghost said to "use the force"

After infiltrating the most heavily fortified battle station in the Empire, mowing down squads of trained soldiers the first time he's touched a blaster, and then shooting down elite fighter pilots in a gunner seat without so much as even verbal instruction.

After destroying this station after the best Rebel pilots missed without his severe handicap, he proceeds to down an AT-AT walker alone with a grappling hook, lightsaber, and grenades like he's fucking space MacGyver.

I guess Obi-Wan telling him to "trust his feelings" for a minute or two on a couch was sufficient training to achieve all of this.


The Force is about drawing from a mystical energy source through spirituality and emotion, not getting trained at glowstick academy by Yoda with 20 other toddlers standing two feet from you.

People who are expecting these abilities to come only from years of training have been ruined by the prequels.

>>322433621
At least 90% of Rey's Mary-Sue-ness makes sense, she had to fight for herself her entire life as a scavver, instead of being raised on a comparatively cushy farm like Luke. Only thing that was truly bullshit was the mind trick.
I'm glad Kylo isn't just a Darth Vader clone, he's supposed to be young and rash and edgy, fuck the haters calling him a whiny bitch.
Fin was only grazed in the back by the saber. Even if his spine was fucked up, the Republic probably would be able to fix it up.
Movie was unfortunately a plot rehash but it's better than the prequels. Pissed that they blew up the Starkiller base; merely disabling the thing would've been far more realistic.

I have a theory as to why the prequels get a disproportionate amount of shit.

Remember that Lucas always envisioned Star Wars as a throwback to the old 30s/40s Flash Gordon TV serials. That's why he uses the camera wipe effects, the cornball dialogue and the cheesy alien animals. Back in '77, a lot of people still remembered those old shows and appreciated Star Wars for being a throwback. Also at the time cinema was at a different level - we hadn't quite hit the era of super-serious action movies of the 80s and 90s.

Now when the prequels came out, it was the Matrix and Bourne generation. Movies weren't supposed to be cheesy anymore, they're supposed to be srs business. Action scenes should be up-close and "visceral", not broadly framed. The generation that rocketed him to success had moved on to flashier cinema expectations.

That's why people are jizzing over TFA, because the pacing and cinematography are very MCU-like.

The issue is that everyone is giving this movie a pass because there are two more sequels on the way.

Yet any other film that tries to pull this cliffhanger 'see ya next time' bullshit gets shit on by viewers.

The Force Awakens didn't have a story. It was merely Point A to B to C to D to Luke and roll credits. No character development. No character arcs. Nothing resolved. Just a bunch of new unanswered questions. It's LOST all over again; JJ just thinks of plot devices, but never knows how to resolve anything. But hey, we have a strong female lead who don't need no man!

Rey has no weaknesses, Fin fails and has to be rescued constantly, Poe is missing from half the film and gets ZERO character development.

At the beginning Poe is a cocky ace pilot. At the end Poe is a cocky ace pilot.

At the beginning Rey is a fiesty girl. At the end Rey is a fiesty girl.

The only thing that changes is the plot device. Plans to Luke. Saber from Luke. Falcon from Solo. It's all a bunch of fucking maguffins.

None of these characters feel real. The only good thing about this shlock-fest cash-grab was that they finally got rid of the dumbass, wire-fighting lightsaber acrobatics.

The editing in this film is uninspired; the soundtrack is possibly Williams' worst to date; and Luke doesn't say a fucking word and he's used as a goddamn maguffin as well!

Fuck this movie. Fuck battlefront. Time to move on and find a new space opera.

They make it seem like anakin was a good kid who became a badass, but a troubled badass. And aside from his first dooku fight where he gets his shit rekt from pure inexperience, he's essentially OP as fuck. In other words, he's this super successful guy who gets this stupid forced plot bending to make him bad. And nobody watching really buys it. But he's still super cool and powerful and shit. But he goes from badass to troubled badass cause he had a bad dream, oh fucking no. But he's still apparently a super caring guy the whole time right until he's magically not anymore and starts choking padme? But then goes "NOOOO" when he hears she's dead? What?

Kylo, however, feels more human. He's this dude, who turned bad (we haven't seem much of the past yet), and looks up to this mask guy and puts in on to try and look cool, and it's so pathetic, and he's such a baby, and that's his thing, and they never try to shove in something like "yeah but no he does it for his friends!" Or something. He looks like a weak little bitch right before he stabs his daddy and then is clearly swayed over again and he is just this little puppet being pulled around. Anakin had a lot of edge. Kyle has laughable edge, which is what his whole pathetic shtick is about. Anakin just doesn't pull it off because his transformation is retarded and the internal conflict is just never there. He has one talk with yoda and then it's a progressive downfall from there as if he doesn't give a shit about anything he decides to do anymore. In kylo, we're able to at least acknowledge how much of a loser fuck he is. Anakin gets played off as GOAT-but-tricked-in-the-end-how-tragic

Even Terra from kingdom hearts doesn't have as much of a retardedly shit character

Anon, stop for a moment and try to remember a cheesy part from the original Trilogy (Special Editions don't count) that is on par with Jar Jar.

The originals weren't cheesy when it mattered and they were cheesy when they could afford to get away with it.

I'd rate it 6/10. It's not atrocious but that's because it mainly apes A New Hope whenever it can.

Han and Chewie never showed that much technical skill or knowledge of the Falcon besides modifying it illegally. They constantly fuck up repairs and have multiple issues if you recall.

Well I didn't mention Boba Fett so you had to try and pluck something to criticize from the old ones.

Boba Fett is a side character, a bounty hunter for hire and offers very little, he was a reminder of Jabba's unresolved situation with Han and he does almost nothing to deserve fan praise. If he had a better duel in Jedi it would make him worthwhile.

As it stands though he can't be compared to Ren because he's not the fucking big baddy in ANY film.

Luke's outfit actually fucking makes sense. You fucking tuck your pants and wrap your ankles when walking in sand or you will have it all in your boots.

He also has a billowy shirt so the desert air can blow through and cool him. He covers more of his body as well, which defends against the rays of the sun.

For real, what the fuck is she wearing? Is that a bedsheet lashed to her body? Why is she wearing arm wraps? Why is her bedsheet wrapped around her ankle? Where does she keep getting boots and clothes to fit her if she has no family and they just pay her in rations? Why doesn't she ever barter for a blaster, or salvage on in the ships she ventures? Who taught her posh English diction? Why does she speak like she should be in an Elizabethan period piece? Why doesn't she have any skin damage or scars? Who taught her to scavenge and salvage the way she does? She has absolutely ZERO friends for all these years?

So many questions and we haven't even left Jakku.

Rey lived within walking distance of the Falcon for years, and almost certainly explored it top to bottom. Her entire life was spent salvaging ship wreckage and engineering stuff, while Han hadn't seen his ship for over 20 years and it had passed through the hands of multiple different owners that all did their own modifications. So yeah, of course Rey would know the current Falcon better, although Han would figure out the changes and get used to it/fix it right-quick.

I debated if Jedi is actually worse than Force Awakens. I don't think it is. I need more time after this film has been out but right now I think it's better. It has Ewoks and it's by far the worst of the original Trilogy but what it does well triumphs over what Force Awakens does well. Need more time though.

The only speculation there is regarding Phasma, and that's the only reason I can think she wouldn't have filled the role of 'TR-8R' from a film perspective.

Everything else is either illustrated in the original trilogy, or is in regards to unanswered questions that were deliberately left unanswered.

She doesn't necessarily.
She nigger-rigged it based on her experience with starship components from salvage. That's about it.

There's no indication of what older Han was doing since Jedi, but in his recent past in the OT, he was much busier avoiding bounty hunters and getting space bitches than he was staring at components all day.

He's never made out to be come technical genius in the films. One of the running themes is how haphazardly the Falcon was put together and maintained.

The original is like this too except that they weren't living in retarded SJW times where you need the most gorilla looking black man marry the White girl, you can just have a suave black man flirt with the white girl and still end up with the cunning white rogue. Meanwhile the black guy defeats the final Death Star after cucking the white guy's ship (with his permission) and the rebels even had a Squid and a Mexican (Lando's co-pilot guy).

Plus there was an Asian.

And the woman in the original films was spunky without being a character written by a 10 year old.
>and den she beats you cause she has unlimited powers

The originals were still pretty similar to
>all these ragtag people band together to overthrow imperial White dude rule
Which is fine, when it's handled with less SJW silliness and better writing and character development.

Poe was an actual example of a decent character and Finn was fine but god damn they had to cast him as black as possible. I guess poor Lando was too pale.

She was like 5 in the flashback where whoever left her on Jakku left her. She certainly didn't have enough training to warrant all the stupid shit that happens in the latter half of the movie.

No, it's not SJW Star Wars, unless you think that having a girl character immediately makes it SJW. There's no mention of race in the movie, no mention of Rey being a girl. The black guy immediately goes ooga booga on Rey and wants to fuck her, so he's not some poster child for respecting women. She does go "stop holding my hand" cause she didn't need no guidance but immediately after, let's herself get hand-held again because she's standing around like a dump ass. Far from sjw stuff.
Also, vader looked sort of weak to us because of his last-minute-traitor move against sheev, but before that, he was like, the face of the empire's revolution, being the only lightsaber dude left in a world of dead Jedi. He went all over the place and was feared everywhere and by everyone, if someone talked back to him about his force moves he'd choke their shit on the spot. A few generals equal to him in social status maybe talked shit about him cause they were jelly as fuck but nobody besides the emperor himself was able to spook a nigga real quick like he would. In other words, you didn't fuck with vader. Who else did you have, dooku? Maul? No-voice and sith-puppet? Or the 4-armed spinny saber robot?

I swear to fucking hot christ, the only reason 99% of these faggots hate Rey either falls into 1. being retards with retarded nostalgia goggles who have not watched the OT in a decade or 2. she's a fucking woman. I have never thought that was a legitimate thing until I saw the backlash to this movie. Seriously, I have always believed that was feminist propoganda, but holy christ, you fags have proved that people really will hate a character just for being a woman.

Everything Rey did, Luke did, either in ANH or in early Empire.

The only reason she stood up to Kailo is because he was already injured and he's set up from the first time we see him as an emotional brat who has no control over the Force.

Where is this stated? The movie doesn't address that at all.

Rey excels at everything she does, conquers every challenge she is put up against, everyone loves her including pre existing characters and her enemy respects her enough to want her on his side. Her only flaw is she's an orphan which works out in her favor anyways.

I ended up being less offended than I thought I'd be, pretty good movie, I'd rate it an 8/10 although I'm not too into Star Wars (Trek/Firefly/Bebop, but not Star Wars)

I was worried they cast Boyega as Finn just because he was black, but I feel like he genuinely brought something to the role, and I ended up liking his character.

I felt like the choice to kill off Han Solo, just to replace him with a woman was a little bit much though. Rey felt like a fucking super mary sue.
>DON'T HOLD MY HAND I'M STRONG AND INDEPENDENT
>I KNOW A WHOLE BUNCH ABOUT SHIPS BECAUSE... BECAUSE.... BECAUSE....... DA FORCE! YEAH!
>I CAN DO A JEDI MIND TRICK WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THE FORCE FUCKING IS

Did not like her character too much. You can make the argument that they did the same shit with Anakin in the prequel series, but they had to make him match the powers of Vader in the later episodes; I guess Star Wars always has to have a bitch as the main female lead though.

I liked and disliked Kylo Ren. His sabre was pretty cool looking. I just disliked the main villain's character being more whiny child than evil Vader. I mean, I guess that's kind of the point, but I was expecting something completely different, not temper tantrums and childish mistakes.

Also, why didn't they fucking use the Star Killer to blast the resistance first? Stupid.

BB8 is fucking rad though. The part with the thumbs up got a genuine laugh out of me.

All in all, I think Poe Dameron (the ace pilot) was my favorite addition to the character list, tied with Finn. I really liked Poe. I just hope Disney doesn't succumb to the SJWs and make him gay

No I'm fucking serious, look

Everyone loves Luke from the moment they meet him.
He excels at everything he does, including being the one to destroy the Deathstar, beating out all the academy-trained pilots.
He figures out how to get his friends out of sticky situations and never fails, just in ANH alone.
His only Jedi training is 5 minutes on the Falcon and Obi-Wan telling him to "use the Force".

Holding a laser in mid air could or could not be difficult.

You just assume its difficult cause we have never seen it in a star wars film.

The real reason it was most likely in VII is cause it looks cool as shit.

Unless you show me some canon shit that says it difficult, it could be as easy as taking a piss for all we know.

>Only learnt to deflect beams through a training bot by Obiwan and it was the only lightsaber thing he did in the whole movie

I could go on the whole day, either way Luke was extremely well written and SW is considered a classic because it manages to follow the hero's journey very well.

Vader was the villain, he worked for the Empire.

Vader was a villain whose shadow hung over the whole film, until the triumphant destruction of the Death Star.

There was no villain in The Force Awakens. No personality that was memorable. Just a flat character who "struggles" with what side he will take in between bouts of slashing temper tantrums.

Sure, maybe there are reasons he's like that, but it's a shitty character. They should not have employed those reasons in that way.

Obiwan saves him against sand people, scum in a bar, Han saves his ass on the death star etc etc. Luke spends most of the first movie getting fucked, much like Neo in Matrix

>He figures out how to get his friends out of sticky situations and never fails, just in ANH alone.
Any examples? I cannot recall any.


>His only Jedi training is 5 minutes on the Falcon and Obi-Wan telling him to "use the Force".
And the only jedi related things he EVER does in the first movie is fire a torpedo without a targeting computer. How the fuck is that akin to learning how to use a lightsaber INSTANTLY (reminder lightsabers are very difficult to weild) learning Yoda level abilities instantly, having a super saiyan mode, being able to 1 v 1 a sith etc
>>
>>322443162
Reminder that Mind tricks are one of the hardest things a Jedi can do, Qui Gon Jinn had trouble with it and Luke failed to use it in episode 6 which caused them a lot of trouble in the first place.

But at least Rey is a Jedi prodigy who didn't need any training to use it.
>>
>>322443350
Because fucking Darth Vader is a well-trained Jedi with 30 years of experience and control of the Force. Also his fucking suit is built to more than compensate for his injuries. He has fucking robot limbs, you mental defect.

Kylo was injured, yes, but he also has NO control over the Fore. Do you remember that thing the stupid green muppet said in the OT about how control of your emotions is the most important part of being a Jedi? Or, no because none of you shits have ever even seen those films? Kylo sucks at being a Jedi because he has zero control over the Force, either light or Dark side because he's torn between the two. At the moment when Rey is fighting him, she is full of rage, which is a powerful emotion that allowed her to overpower him. Kylo, in comparison, is torn between the light/dark side and his wavering emotions, and as such, is shit in comparison to raw power.

Bullshit about characters in danger.
Poe was considered dead most of the movie (fuck you if you're gonna tell me that you didn't believe it even for a second). The situation with Han being confronted by gangs was a really sticky situation even though I knew plot armor would prevail (as it would for literally any situation here. This was a pretty tense "how he gunna get outta dis one" moment). When you saw Han approaching kylo you knew nobody was safe in that moment. The lightsaber duels involved them getting their shit kicked in and Finn got it bad. He also got shit on by tr8r.

Of course, all of this is disregarded if you already knew who was gonna be protected or betrayed by plot armor no matter what. That's what made Poe a pretty special character too, cause you weren't too sure. For everyone else it was "how's plot armor gonna save him this time?" And I think these scenes were still quite tense.

>Everything Rey did, Luke did, either in ANH or in early Empire.
For starters, Luke didn't perform a Jedi mind trick until RotJ. Rey does a mind trick within minutes of learning that she's force sensitive. Also "early Empire" takes place like a year after the end of ANH. That's a long time, plenty of time for Luke to train himself and pick some things up. Everything Rey does is in the span of a few hours, which is absurd.

But that kind of nerdy shit is beside the point. You're the one that clearly hasn't watched the original films in a decade or two. Either that, or you're a retard that knows precisely jack shit about storytelling or film making. The real reason Rey is a Mary Sue isn't because she's a savant in just about everything she does (though that certainly doesn't win her any favors), it's because she's never shown to be vulnerable or have any sort of real flaws. Look at Luke in comparison. He gets knocked out by sand people and is saved by Obi Wan. He's about to get into a fight at the bar and is saved by Obi Wan. He's about to get crushed in the trash compactor and is saved by C-3PO and R2-D2. He's about to get shot down by Vader and is saved by Han. When did Rey ever need to be saved? She had already broken out on her own power when Han, Chewie and Finn came to rescue her. When Luke turns off his targeting computer, it's cathartic. He isn't receiving some magic power-up to his abilities, he's trusting his feelings. By having faith in himself, his abilities and in something greater than himself, he's able to make the shot. There's actual meaning to this scene, thematically and for Luke's character. Conversely, Rey's "awakening" is essentially a DBZ power-up that magically makes her more skilled and more powerful than Kylo Ren (that's a disservice to Dragon Ball, really, since Goku trained for his strength and becoming a Super Saiyan required the emotional stimulus of seeing his best friend since childhood murdered, but I digress).

Infuriating. The more I think about that one scene, the angrier I get.

The original was based off a mix between different parts of history. Lucas said he was inspired mostly by WW1 when making the Empire.

It's embarrassing that something as simple as Star Wars is too deep for you.

The term storm trooper is literally lifted from the Nazi variant though, he's also said this.

>expect your post to suddenly have any weight
Ok
Because surely Star Wars has always been full of tense scenes where you weren't sure if the gang was gonna make it out alive or not?

You defenders are mad because this fag is right.

Yes, the original trilogy actually was.

TFA was a sterile, clean, CGI fest where I never once felt like anyone was any danger, and I could see Han's death a mile away the moment he stupidly walked on that rail-less cat walk with a sith.

>could see Han's death a mile

His death was confirmed the moment he signed up to reprise his role in the movie. He wanted Han to die so fucking badly. He wanted out.

>Anything other than unadulterated trash

Not even triggered that Max was a side character in his own movie, the story was teaspoon shallow, there were no characters, the action was inane and putting a red filter over everything doesn't make your visuals more interesting either.

I guess it's the disneyfication of the movie.

Safe moves all the time, no risks at all. Keep their attention long enough to check out the next movie next year.
