usually no but people hated tlj so much I wouldn't be surprised to hear some negativity as people filtered out. usually people seeing a premiere are the target audience so they are predisposed to be positive and that's the case here too but the target audience has a lot of bitterness so it's kind of a weird situation.

This surprises me, because most people I know who go to premiers love that one or two star wars/marvel/etc. Movies are being made a year and are into it. This is fine, just not my cup of tea. Most of the anger I encounter occurs online, and I just assumed these folks weren't going to a premier showing. Maybe seeing it in theaters at some point.

Kill All Cops posted:Nah it's just so they can forgo any kind of Resistance intelligence gathering in lieu of exposition from a former stormtrooper to explain how they find out about weaknesses within the First Order Yeah, the only way they really utilize Finn's origin after the first 15 minutes of TFA is to give a (weak) excuse to inform the heroes about everything the First Order is doing. It's really kind of lol because apparently the janitor had access to information on the specifics of Starkiller's design, intimate knowledge of the workings of a (presumably) top secret technology to track ships in hyperspace, knowledge of a "death star canon" that had never been deployed before, etc. It's like, man, I think the FO should stop letting janitors sit in on their top level intelligence and R&D briefings. Seems like an unnecessary security risk.

The First Order is a very open and accepting group that is transparent to all their members about everything they do, and also give sacks of gold to people who don't even fully agree with them.

Hey the Resistance had intel gathering capability shown in the films. Their ace pilot on a clandesrine mission in a marked resistance military starfighter and gets captured and interrogated and Snap Wexley loving up and getting tracked back to their base on his recon run so they could have odentical Battle of Yavin stakes.

The whole Finn worked in superweapon sanitation deal or whatever is pretty funny as a one-off gag, but it really doesn't work in service of the plot. So, uh, I guess Finn just happened to be brought into his first battle for no explainable reason at a very crucial time to the First Order's plans which led him to see the harsh reality and fight his Stormtrooper conditioning???? Just plain weird, man. Why not go for a similar premise of the character except now Finn's a battle-hardened soldier who has been fighting for the First Order all along but just can't take it anymore once he sees Kylo Ren's senseless brutality or some such?

It's sad that Finn didn't become the awesome character promised in the first trailers for the new trilogy For that matter, every new character seemed awesome and cool, and the actors were great and mostly unknown, casting agency knocked it out of the park in general Great character ideas in the first movie, even Captain Phasma looked cool as hell Daisy Ridley seems like a great person, Adam Driver is an amazing actor (just saw him in Marriage Story), the guy who plays Poe is great in other movies It all falls flat in the actual movies, but hey, cool ideas anyway

Actually *watched* TFA for the first time a couple of days ago, but what severely puts me off is the amount of, i dont know how to put it, "cool" behaviour of the characters. Like, when Finn and Poe bail in the Tiefighter, the dude-broing comedy had me in cringes. I dont know, i liked star wars characters when they were a bit more stoic, Han Solo was a space-swashbuckler but never resorted to throwing oneliners on a per-minute basis. Maybe its just me growing old, but i really dont like the manner in which characters interact with each other in a star wars environment.

If absolutely nothing else Ian McDermod getting to gnaw on scenery explaining how his evil plot has come to fruition is always a treat. D+ give us a Sheev series where he spends 30 minutes each episode explaining his plots to Vader and threatening captured Jedi.

JJ is a pretty good action director who under no circumstances should be allowed to write the material he directs, but that's what he seems bent on, so he shouldn't really be allowed to make movies.

Actual American soldiers in Afghanistan, or space soldiers on a laser moon? I'm not sure why any Bothans needed to die if you can just ask Johnny Trashcompactor where the blast point is. There's this thing called a screenplay. A good way to make a strong screenplay for an action movie is that a stock character like a Stormtrooper should be pretty clear-cut so that you can spend the bulk of your pages on- [Zack Snyder had an idea for a bloody stormtrooper helmet, and a shiny stormtrooper, and a stormtrooper with a melee weapon. The character of Finn is added to the script so those moments can be in the trailer. Fans attempt to retcon this into being much more than it is.]

I haven't watched the TFA since it came out in theaters so maybe I'm wrong but IIRC that bar scene takes place like over an hour into the movie and is where Rey rejects the lightsaber because she wants to go back home and wait for her deadbeat parents to come back, and I remember thinking "wow this is way too late in the movie for the hero to just now be refusing the call."

Watched the first half or so yesterday and this is very much it. The seedy cantina part is mostly done with the Kanja Klub guys or whatever shaking down solo before they get eaten by dues ex rathnar or whatever
