Philthy posted:I feel bad, but I think I disliked this movie more than the stupid prequels. I'm old, so I'm going to go on an old man rant. Probably a bit more critical than what I'd have posted before seeing this but I at least somewhat agree with most of this. I liked that Rey was shown to be capable at a lot of poo poo through the movie, but I don't think it needed to also include the usual "person is just so latently gifted at supernatural thing that they can immediately compete with someone well-trained at it" cliche.

CelticPredator posted:Finn is Luke from A New Hope, and Rey is Luke from Empire Strikes Back. I was totally going to say this about Finn. Even as a Stormtrooper who defected, he's still very much the "every-guy" that gets to tag along. EDIT RE: sounds were wrong I trust the filmmakers on the sound, they were very careful with a lot of stuff. Poe blasting around instead the Starkiller had the same sounds from Luke's X-Wing in ANH when says "I'm going in" and blasts the surface and almost gets caught in the blast.

I said come in! posted:This is from BoxOfficeMojo, and is a list of all of the records the Force Awakens currently holds: Every showing at my theatre was sold out for 2-3 hours any time I looked at the movie board, I could only get tickets by buying them online in advance. Even by Saturday and Sunday a solid 60-70% of the movies shown that day in the theatre were Force Awakens. This sucker's breaking all the records, and Disney has once again spent "only" a few billion dollars for something that's going to earn them tens of billions after a decade or two.

So Phasma is coming back for the next one, do we know if Maz is? I really liked her character and Im pissed that her cantina theme wasnt included in the soundtrack. Of all the effects in the movie shes the one that looks least likely to 'hold up' 10 years down the line, but dangit if I don't love weird old lady alien with magnifying eyeglasses.

Rey is the lovechild of Maz and Chewbacca. She was accidentally left in a smuggler's compartment in the Falcon before it was stolen and eventually wound up on Jakku. You heard it here first, folks.

I would be cool with Phasma actually having some lines. She didn't get as much emphasis as I thought she would, and I figured that she was dead. She did get flushed down the toilet right before the planet exploded. SnoochtotheNooch fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Philthy posted:Kylo Ren had the most grating voice with his mask on. Then when he took it off, we were looking at what was probably the worlds biggest Star Wars geek who won some contest to be the next bad guy in the next Star Wars movie. I wanted him to put the mask back on because he looked like a huge nerd. This is what the son of Han and Leia looks like? Yeah, no. Not in a million years. He's a screw up who focused on the wrong side of his family legacy, what the hell did you think he'd look like, Sex Fuckshard? quote:Han dying was stupid and out of place. His super evil son was right in front of him, he had to try. On the other hand, his son is super evil. What did you want to happen? quote:I liked Rey but somehow turning into super Jedi in 10 minutes is stupid. It's the entire point of the Light Side users. Submission vs Will is the divide between the Light and the Dark. The Light Side draws strength from giving themselves over to the Force, the Dark Side draws strength from imposing their will on the world around them. Ben is conflicted, and Rey totally lets go. She's better at submission than he is at imposing his will. He's also not trained. The fact he's basically the only Force user in the galaxy and seems to have mastered the basics of stopping people shooting him and mind rape means he was good enough up until now. He's on his way to a training montage, just like her. quote:Grah. Wanted to like this so loving much, but so drat disappointed. I'll be that guy, I guess. On the one hand it's totally valid to not like what you don't like, on the other you seem smart enough to know most of your complaints are just petty bullshit.

I hope Ep 8 opens with another flashback, in which the First Order re-enacts this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCHMjeKI9Bc e: Oh poo poo, he even engages the hyperjets inside the ship... We're onto something here, folks!

I really am excited about Rey and Kylo Ren facing off multiple times as they each grow. We have never had force user rivals who are similar in skill develop alongside one another. Both of them can get more and more poweful until a final showdown at the end of Episode 9.

Still, you have a point in that it's not treated with much gravity (lol)... but didn't that happen like literally right before they were deploying to attack the Starkiller?

Hazdoc posted:Yeah, the Death Star EX: NO WEAK POINTS THIS TIME EDITION was kind of lame. Blowing up a bunch of planets and not giving it more gravity certainly sucks too, people bemoaned the fate of Alderaan in A New Hope, but nothing here. Wait, there was? I don't remember it being mentioned at all after Obi-Wan's "disturbance in the force" bit. Wank posted:When Rey gets the lightsaber instead of Kylo the theme plays that is the same as when Luke sees dead Uncle Owen/Aunt Beru (why are they SO dead? i.e. burnt to skeletons? How did that happen? They did open the latest movie with a stormtrooper rocking a flamethrower. So that, maybe...? Crow_Robot posted:It makes sense it's just so out of place compared to every other death/corpse in all of the movies. We're not shown that the Stormtroopers make a habit out of burning corpses or anything. The destroyed jawa sandcrawler is also the only time in the OT that stormtroopers ever allegedly have good aim. So maybe it was just an odd couple of days on Tattooine.

He's on his way to a training montage, just like her. Unless I am totally mistaken, he was trained by Luke. He was the one that turned and killed all the others Luke was training. He was also turned by Snoke and trained by him as well. The fact he appears far more powerful with the force than we ever saw with Vader says something. Snoke. I hope he's not really a poorly CGI guy we saw from the hologram. And that Snoke is just a nickname people gave him as a joke.
