TK-42-1 posted:Rey's not a Mary Sue because she was trained in all this poo poo before with her dad. When Kylo slaughtered everyone he spared Rey and mind wiped her. Then he stuck her in shithole Jakku and implanted the fear of leaving to keep her there. Kind of like what happened with Revan. That's stupid. I hope you have to eat your balls

Fojar38 posted:aside from the mind trick what new skills does rey pick up since she was established to have some skills beforehand (fighting, ship stuff) I was a little put off as to how quickly she picked up using a blaster. I think it only took two shots to hit a storm trooper from pretty far away. Also, who was the old guy Rey talked to at the beginning who got killed? The guy in the tent who said he always thought of Leia as royalty? I figured he was an OT character, but I didn't hear a name.

That picture went viral amongst the Death Star crew, the two stormtroopers near the tractor beam controls were looking at it and that's how Obi Wan got past them.

George Lucas hates the new Star Wars movie, because of course he does. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/31/m...icle-click&_r=0 Bonus points: Still aloof and hilariously disconnected from why people actually liked the original movies. Maybe more disconnected than ever.

i just can't grasp his complaints about a focus on spaceships over family when one of the major complaints about the prequels is how empty the characters are and how much of the runtime is filled with mindless action.

Honestly him talking poo poo about the new movies might actually be a PLUS, Lucas lost pretty much any support of the fans after the prequel trilogy. I'm pretty sure everyone's happy he's nowhere near Star Wars anymore and that if Lucas doesn't like it, then it must be doing something right

Which character has a super tragic past involving sexual violence (ok i admit not that uncommon in GoT), is the most attractive women ever, is loved by everyone she meets, has special powers nobody else has, and whos only problems come from being too caring or too nice or too understanding. Shes also the chosen one, destined to be the perfect counter measure to the looming threat, even though she doesnt know it yet! She gets bonus points for having modern day morals to make her look even perfecter. Also shes author fap material. Edit- oh forgot to add that every time she is in minor peril shes saved by dues ex machina. Content- I really we get more TR-8R's or they flesh out the whole Finn's past thing. I mean sure its star wars and again im not looking for complex writing here but he was in the new order for 20+ years and its not like they kept them locked in a crate off duty. He had to have some friends or people who grew to care for him. Double Monocle fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Dec 31, 2015 |

The only storm trooper past we need flesh out is Daniel Craig trooper, because he needs to be the Johnny of the series and cameos in each movie as a guard who gets trick in letting the prisoner loose.

I don't think it would count as betrayal if he hadn't previously been part of the First Order. Edit: ^^ Okay, your "wanted poster" idea is also a possibility. Lucas actually referred to Disney as "white slavers." The hell? The term "white slavery" is ridiculously offensive, because it implies that enslaving white people is really bad, whereas other types of slavery are just accepted.

I mean, yeah, it's true that big money has pretty much killed all creativity in Hollywood movies but Lucas saying it is peak irony  I'm not gonna lie, I really kind of want to see George's story outline that Disney said "gently caress no" to and threw in the trash as it's probably batshit insane.

First time I've ever been in favor of slavery. George, please literally sell your children into white slavery. Maybe we can fix climate change and get sensible campaign finance reform.

Next thing you'll tell me is that JarJar, the Neimoidians, Watto are racist caricatures.

I think George's complaints about reuse and how he tried to put new planets and locations into each film have merit, problem is 3 out 4 Star Wars films he directed were trash films with garbage direction so... Yea. And I guess star killer base was new, like we've seen a snow planet before but this one had trees and such.
