I said come in! posted:Right, but the lightsaber Rey takes is blue, so how was that lightsaber acquired? Someone found that lightsaber at Bespin city and held onto it and tucked it away only for Rey to get ahold of it. you're asking the same question han solo asks neo yoda and she tells him something like "that's a story for another time wink"

Perhaps the least subtle part of the movie was Maz dodging that question when she showed it to Han and Finn

Wingnut Ninja posted:D'oh. I'll turn in my nerd card. Still, how did they get it back/what happened to Luke's new one? Dapper_Swindler posted:no idea and i assume he still has it. He threw it away at the end of Jedi. It was kind of a big moment. Rey holding the lightsaber outstretched to Luke was a moment of offering him a chance to take up the mantle again, but it's also a moment of danger. If you pay attention to the movies, Star Wars is actually not a big fan of lightsabers. They are weapons; they represent the willingness to use violence, and characters are usually better off without them. The particular sword Rey is offering him has a dark history. I expect the next movie will pick up on this just as Jedi and the prequel movies did.

Yeah but the fanboys want laser sword fights so that is what they are gonna get. I would be shocked if Luke doesn't use one in these new films.

Im guessing Von Sydow's identity has something to do with Rey's family. Or that mystery will go the way of Sifodyas.

Frackie Robinson posted:I would be stunned if she was a Skywalker, it's such an easy guess that I have to think they would have disclosed it in the first movie, because if they're going to wait another two or four years before they reveal it, it's going to be a total wet fart. I agree. The idea of the trilogy being about the Skywalker family doesn't mean that it necessarily needs to be about a biological family. He could be a father-figure rather than a literal father. Adopting Rey into his family despite a lack of blood ties, which would be a stronger plot than the predictable one everybody is speculating.

Man, it had problems, but anyone saying this is a bad film or its worse than the prequels is just plain ignorant. You couldnt even tell that Carrie Fischer is crazy. Does Rogue Squadron feature Poe? He needs his own poo poo and just be a small role in the main trilogy.

Just saw the movie a second time. I'm 99% sure now the opening scene shows the star destroyer silhouetted against the back of Starkiller base, with Jakku in the background. Also, regarding 3PO's arm, he has a line of dialogue that I missed the first time around right as he exits his first appearance, something along the lines of "I really have to get my regular arm reinstalled." Whatever importance that bit of foreshadowing portends seems to be wholly insignificant in the grand scheme of things insofar as this movie is concerned. Is that a McGuffin or a red herring?

The people complaining about the music need to give it another shot, because it's beautifully written and orchestrated. Here's a convenient playlist so that you can focus on the music itself.

I doubt he literally decided to literally abandon his weapon; it was more of a "dude, no, I'm not killing you" thing. One of the worst fanon things about Star Wars was inventing some "Jedis eventually don't use lightsabers" nonsense, and its a Good Thing Lucas stepped in and said "No, thats bullshit."

I give it a solid c-, a lot of the acting, writing, etc was laughable for me and the first half just wasn't that great imo. I was also exhausted when I realized they were just going to do the New Hope but not as good. Do we really have to go through the same poo poo again? Can't we do a story in the universe involving these characters that doesn't have to be them blowing up an even bigger Death Star with an even bigger weakspot It has all of the weakness of Lucas' referential for the pandering sake of it prequels, but since it wasn't shot by a complete incompetent it's just decently executed. It's just like, what's going on here? The Republic post-rebellion allowed a gigantic army to form and make an even bigger Death Star...and they're fighting this existential threat with like...a proxy force for some reason now because they can't do it in the open??? And the First Order is finally like, deciding to remove the farce and attack the Republic directly??? Why are they even fighting a proxy war??? On the other hand I feel like the second half redeemed it in terms of quality, I really liked Adam Driver and most of what happened in the second half even if a lot of it was "The New Hope except not as good!!!". I think my favorite scene was Adam Driver trying to mind hack Ray or whatever and describing an island and so on, he did a pretty great job with the second half Man was the ending cool on paper but laughable in execution for me. Wow how exotic and sci-fi, we're on some Irish islands now, all that bad face acting and the spin at the end while they stared at each other and stayed posed  stick to voice acting Mark, it's enough to impress manchildren obsessed with the JokerI don't mean to be so much of a hater though. It was entertaining, fun, and I liked most of the characters. Maybe I'll give it a C and keep the minus.

BillBear posted:Christie herself is awesome too, so we all thought she would be able to kick some rear end but alas. I think the movie's extremely similar to ANH in the villain's arc as well. Phasma, Hux and Ren all get their asses kicked right at the end, and have every reason to want to prove themselves again by gaining the upper hand in the next movie. There'll be a land battle, and the First Order will wreck everyone, and Poe and FInn will barely escape.
