Have none of you ever punched a muscle cramp or similar thing to try and make it go away? Sometimes after a long run I would whack on my hip flexors to try and get them to loosen up. I assumed it was meant as that sort of thing.

Boon posted:Silly things like a murderous short temper and superhuman powers aren't scary, because the character in question has oily skin and is young which means that MisterBibs could beat him up because he's older. Therefore it's not a good villain. If I was too old he'd be a threat to me. The only people he defeats are computer consoles and really old men. At most I'm risking a glancing lightsaber blow from a weapon that regularly dismembers or kills on contact.

I just realized a neat contrast between Rey and Finn. Finn was forcibly abducted as a small child and Rey was abandoned.

Man I can't wait to see this movie another couple times to notice the "guy walking down ladder in background" touches JJ adds. The subtlest callbacks are the most worthwhile.

Ren's immaturity may in some way be the movie's tribute to the prequels- in the end this is still a universe where the bad guys are mostly petulant children with abandonment issues. Lucas probably approved of that. It's interesting that they talk about him "finishing his training" near the end, which means he'll also be developing his powers while Rey develops hers.

well why not posted:It's really weird that 'Force Powers' are categorised so heavily. Force abilities are so, so nebulous in the films, but outside of that it's all Force Push this, Force Pull That, Mind Trick this, Magic Missile That. That's weird if it's in books, but not game systems since they have to be categorized like that to work.

Josh Lyman posted:The movie should have ended 15 seconds earlier. That 360* shot was stupid. It should have cut to credits with Luke removing his hood with the camera on his face. Yeah, thinking back that final shot might have been my least favorite part of the movie. I mean, it may not have aged well if they had just smash cut to black when Luke took his hood off because it's such a 2010s thing to do. Maybe a tasteful fade after a reaction shot?

"That's my jacket" Finn starts to take it off "No, no keep it. It suits you." loving my dream open for Episode 8 is: Finn & Poe on a daring adventure, quipping & being bros & doing something that shows the first order is still a threat but the resistance is not sitting on their laurels. Poe can also console Finn on Rey leaving him behind. And BB-8 will be rolling around like a ball droid.

Star Wars VII turned out to be pretty good, though I have to wonder if anyone will actually care about it as a movie in five years, and not just for how it sets up the rest of the sequels.Rirse posted:I watched it at the legit IMAX at the Indiana State Museum last night. And it's BEAUTIFUL to watch on it. It so weird how close the film is to you when watching it like that. I saw Interstellar there last year. It's pretty cool- though I when I first went to see it I didn't own a car and had to walk about a mile and a half to get there in the cold at night, only to find out they were sold out of tickets.

I didn't enjoy The Force Awakens, for various reasons. However, there are some intriguing seeds planted in this movie. I think Snoke is going to end up as the Dark Side's Yoda. We're going to see a lot of Kylo Ren's training in the next movie, and I would really like that. I really want to see a retrofitted Millennium Falcon. I want Rey to be unrelated to The Star Wars Main Lineage. It's time to stop treating the Skywalker line like divinity. My personal Ben Solo theory is that not living up to the power of Annakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker is what drove him to the dark side.

Considering how positive the reception of this movie has been in only 3 days since its release, I'm pretty sure this is going to be the movie that will be remembered as the one that brought Star Wars back into the limelight in spectacular fashion, erasing any residual stigma leftover from the prequels.

Maxwell Lord posted:Similarly I feel like we're missing out on just what went wrong after Endor. Obviously there were still going to be people loyal to the Empire, but what enabled them, who's this Snoke guy, where are they getting all this cool star-destroying stuff? The prequels are about what went wrong. But in a more plot-centric sense, Rey's vision of the past is ripe to have some context added, especially if Obi-Wan Kenobi has voiceover in it. The broader political context seems like it can be figured out easily enough by filling in the blanks from real-world history. The war continued.
