TIE Fighter doesn't involve force powers though. It does have Thrawn in it at least.

I'm sorry, the only way I can believe that Rey could defeat kylo is if she had spent a few months in the wintery hills of that starkiller base and did workout sessions with common farm equipment while listening to very cheesy music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q57qB6Kwroo This movie failed to live up to my very realistic expectations.

I found it basically impossible to do the shooty minigame so gave up after that, but that was on a phone rather than a tablet. Otherwise it was good. TIE Fighter was good and all, but I actually wanted them to cancel Ep 3 and make a KOTOR movie instead because I loved it so fierce (and still do)

hobbesmaster posted:I wouldn't say protomass effect - it's literally d20 like dungeons and dragons. As far as the rolls go with battles as opposed to Mass Effect replacing it with the cover gameplay, but every other part of the engine is basically what evolved into ME. The choice branching is also very similar to the first ME. Someone that lieks one typically lieks the other to a degree for that reason (outside of plot-first people).

I would've also liked to have seen a little more Rey's foreknowledge of/inspiration to use the mind trick, like maybe if she told stormtrooper James Bond some of the raised-from-birth stuff Finn had told her earlier in the course of instinctively reaching into his head or something.

It was an amazing movie. Not without flaws, definitely, but you can tell most of them were a result of calculated trade-offs. In fact the only flaw that was just oversight on the writers' part is Leia hugging Rey instead of Chewbacca at the end. I bet the extended edition will have deleted scenes that will give more context to certain stuff.

Dubplate Fire posted:Force powers ruined peoples comprehension of the force tho. I agree with this. I remember playing jedi knight 1 as like a 10 year old, I saw how they neatly categorized the "dark powers" and the "light powers" and i was like EHHH, this is more clinical than how the movies explained it. That's why I love Rey's force dream so much, it brought the force back as this crazy sentient unmeasurable magical thing , that's unique from all the other comparable energy forces like ki(or more specifically DBZ's obnoxious need to systemize it and assign loving numbers to it while also saying that your strength can be limitless at the same time). polish sausage fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Dec 24, 2015 |

Bukowski posted:I liked that she hugged Rey because that was the first time that they met Do you really believe that? Edit: Han is trying to get rid of her and Finn right up until he asks her name. She says Rey. The camera zooms in on his face, he looks like 'oh gently caress here we go again' and he invites her to work with him and gives her a blaster. Then immediately after its implied that he tells Maz her story and then Maz wants her to take the lightsaber and to find her parents.

Han/Leia have no dialog in the film that hints they have another kid though, and with how open the film was about Ben I'd expect at least a throw-away line about a daughter or sibling or something. Since there is nothing I'm really inclined to rule them out as her parents. Maybe Leia just isn't a bitch for that scene? Rey is standing all alone looking lost, the only people she knows in the scene are Finn and Chewie and Chewie is rushing Finn to get medical attention. So Leia being compassionate to someone else really made sense to me. A lot of the arguing isn't "I didn't like this about the movie" versus "Let me tell you why you should", it is "I didn't like this because it wasn't supported and out of the blue" versus "actually it is telegraphed pretty hard but apparently you missed it". Perfect example is every person who was flabbergasted that Rey beat Ren at the end, there is no way some untrained girl should have beat this sith guy.

I'm starting to think that self-described nerds who are so cynical that they nitpick and hate everything are just ugly weird people who are de-facto nerds because who the gently caress else will tolerate them. Also, supposedly the Ep. 8 script is written and is apparently so good that Abrams wishes he was directing - but that might just be studio hype talking.

Some leaving aside people dumb misinterpretations of fundamental concepts of Star Wars aside, I was thinking about the First Orders name and that fact that they went looking for the Source of the Dark Side or whatever. Maybe they were looking for the First Order of Dark Side users, before Jedi and Sith became structured religious orders. Then they dug up ol Space Mummy Snoke to be their Dear Leader.

OK, second viewing, must say IMAX 3D has some definite improvements compared to 2D. In answer to some of the nitpicking here, actually did notice on this watch that Poe took his jacket off when he hopped in the TIE fighter (hence how he could eject or whatever and leave it behind) and the whole Leia hugs Rey not Chewbacca thing looks like it's because Chewbacca is too busy following along with the medics taking care of Finn (you can see him walk right past Leia himself), which is rather touching in light of Finn taking care of Chewie earlier. Speaking of Finn, I also caught this time that he didn't turn back when leaving Maz's place because of Rey or Han but because he saw Starkiller Base fire (he ran back to Han and only then noticed Rey was gone) and unlike the trailer, when he engaged Kylo Ren he didn't hesitate or freak out at all. Taking the guy who was running in terror from the First Order and having him finish the film charging one of the embodiments of said Order's fear and power is a nice character arc; and here I though I couldn't like Finn MORE. Think I'm more interested to see what happens to him instead of Rey next film. Bonus points if they build on the Poe-mance from this one of course (Poe was also chasing after the medics at the end too I noticed).

Rey, a character familiar with the heroes of the original trilogy and their famous adventures, would definitely have no idea what a Jedi mind trick is or that it's something she should try after she realizes she's attuned to the Force.

Along with the Raid dudes what the gently caress was the point of Phasma? Do I have to wait until the sequels or some retarded poo poo? Abrams is bad and this movie is not that good. The scale, scope and events of the prequels were more impressive and grandoise than this.

The scale, scope and events of the prequels were more impressive and grandoise than this. The Raid guys were a cameo. Phasma may have been a minor role (comparable to Boba Fett or Tarkin), or she may be expanded later. Who knows/cares? Also if you only want scale and scope go watch a Roland Emmerich movie.
