When I saw TFA some guy behind me would yell "Oh hell yeah!" every time he got a callback to the original Trilogy. That poo poo is super annoying, clapping doesn't bother me.

And if people on backwater planets know about Han's kessel record then he should be a much bigger deal and shouldn't've been stuck in a backwater cantina of a desert planet in the first movie. Not only was she 100 feet away from it, once she stole it Han Solo just so happened to be in orbit of the same planet doing some other stupid poo poo to recover it. Some really bad writing in that film.

Yeah jfc if this was real life they would be drifting aimlessly in space for weeks because neither of them knew where they were going and didn't have navigation charts. This loving unrealistic movie its like... Just make my star wars plod along at a pace like actual life!

Nah, the empire was already bearing down on them. Han just so happened to be hauling CGI monstrosities past that very planet at the exact moment needed to catch them before the bad guys.

You wouldn't wear a space suit on a spaceship unless you were specifically intending to go outside anyway.

Thought I'd mention a person was openly sobbing for THAT scene in the theater just in case some edgelords who think emotional reactions are dumb and wrong want to mock that. The most cringeworthy EU thing now are all the whiners who try to argue how it's bad the EU is dead, especially when they do it under their real names on Facebook in the replies of verified professionals who discuss why hitting reset was good.

I always thought that TIE Fighters were depressurised anyway so the pilot was working in a vacuum. TFA taught me different.

TFA taught me different.  the Empires tie/ln didn't have life support as a cost-cutting measure, but the First Order's tie/sfs appear to. it's not clear if the baseline tie/fo does tho, but they did add shields to ties.when you're an isolated space junta instead of a giant empire i guess you can't be as cavalier about just building deathtraps and throwing thousands of pilots at a problem and shrugging if half of them come back

Myrddin_Emrys posted:I don't know what ln/sfs/fo means TIE/LN's are the baseline tie fighters of the Empire from the first films that appear starting in the original '77 movie. TIE/FO's are the baseline First Order fighters from the new film with the black hull and white panels. Since they are trying hard to ape the Empire's style, they kept the form factor the same. TIE/SF's are the upgraded two-seater First Order TIEs with the turret mount that Finn and Poe commandeered to make their escape.

one of the reviews from one of those screwfly mra/red pill/incel/no ma'am what the gently caress ever they call themselves sites cited the fact that "no one applauded at the end" as evidence it was poorly received.

what bugs me about phasma isn't that she was a cool action figure in special armor that ended up being a chump who gets punked out by a pit, b/c that's like poetry, it rhymes what annoys me is seems like in the first order being able to flaunt the uniform regs with unique armor and have a proper name would be a special privilege that would come with a rank higher than company grade/junior officer. she should be like colonel phasma

Does Phasma do any actual Phantasm poo poo or is it just the name and the chrome? Does someone get their head drilled or turned into a jawa or something?

Myrddin_Emrys posted:If people started whooping and shouting in UK cinemas, they would get the gently caress punched out for spoiling the movie for everyone else. The only time I really remember people applauding in a movie theater was for The Phantom Menace. I think it happened during the opening title crawl and also when R2-D2 got name dropped after saving the queen's ship. I don't know if I was more embarrassed by the audience or the movie itself.

Aren't there also a couple people that wear that shiny silver outfit too? I kept confusing who was who. The occasional stormtrooper having a colored shoulder was cool though. Someone said Phasma was supposed to do more but it got cut.
