Light Gun Man posted:let me ask this: why is C-3P0 forbidden by programming to translate Sith? Who made C-3P0 fluent in over six million forms of communication or gave him his first job programming binary load lifters 'cos I don't think it was Anakin Skywalker. Outside the movie environment the RLM guys are probably right, it's likely just Anthony Daniels demanding a heroic sacrifice moment for his character given he isn't likely to get to play C-3P0 again

Honestly, if I didn't pre-read the spoilers I would have had no idea what was happening in the movie. It was just that much of a speeding mess.

I wish C-3PO had a mental breakdown just before the memory wipe and just let loose on everyone: "I'll gladly erase all my memories because you motherfuckers are all assholes who've treated me like poo poo all these years!" *Points* "gently caress you, gently caress you, you're cool, and gently caress you. Kiss my shiny gold droid rear end. C-3PO out!" *bzzzzzz*Blistex posted:Honestly, if I didn't pre-read the spoilers I would have had no idea what was happening in the movie. It was just that much of a speeding mess. There is exactly one line in the entire movie that explains that there exists a cult that worships the dark side and even then I thought he was just comparing the Sith to a cult so at the end I was still scratching my head when that giant crowd appeared in the Emperor's temple.

A super-weird thing I noticed was that in the first half of the movie I felt like most of the shots were framed too tightly, like everything was just a little too close to the camera. It's not something you'd really notice on a video screen (TV shows are often shot like this) but in the theater I had to try to ignore it. That's not the weird part, though. The weird part is that I've always maintained this EXACT thing was the case in Episode III and I swear to god it's like JJ Abrams did this on purpose out of tradition or whatever.

Tunicate posted:he says that droids were modified to not translate sith becuase of some law passed by the galatic senate, so probably it's just DRM on his language computer This makes total sense. After all, archeologists are prohibited from learning ancient Assyrian by law in the EU today so that nobody reads about their atrocities that happened three thousand years ago and accidentally becomes evil

But droids are much more susceptible to evil conditioning. Threepio had his head put in on a battle droid in Ep2 and became a total pill, just a real trash-fire of a robut.

The shot of all the not-xwings in formation in particular is waaaay too zoomed in

Why did the Endor Star Destroyers stop working? JJ says that Flynn was trying to tell Ray that he could feel the Force as they were sinking. That can’t be right, can it?

The movies hinted from the very beginning that Finn was Force sensitive. They just never did anything meaningful with it, like his abandoning of the First Order. He should have spent Last Jedi getting First Order troopers to turn and then this movie turning them into proto Force warriors or something. Just go totally wuxia with it.

Could have had an interesting trilogy about three nobodies building up the forces necessary to beat a reborn imperial threat of inherited power but instead the plots a mess and everyone still uses the exact same xwings as 20 years prior.

Uhh excuse me these x-wings are T-95 instead of T-65, which you can tell by the streamlined nacelles (less drag in space vacuum) and garish colors. Just like you can identify the new trilogy by the streamlined characters (less protrusions like "personality" and "motives" to drag the pace) and garish colors.

He's a standard protocol droid like the one at the start of TPM, Anakin just put a bunch of spare parts together and redid some wiring. I don't know how people came away thinking Anain had invented a sentient mechanical person. He added the rocket boots and stun gun but everything else was factory standard.

Speaking of C-3PO, it seems like they really pulled their punch with the "memory wipe" drama for no real reason. It's the last installment of a saga, just loving kill the robot you cowards. Chewie for that matter too.

Why was there so much backpedaling in this movie? First of all, Palpatine's not dead. Also he created a super fleet capable of conquering the galaxy fully staffed with evil minions supported by a planet made up of lightning storms. Chewbacca dies. Sike, he was on different ship. C3P0 gets his memory wiped and effectively becomes dead. Nope they had a back up of his memory. Poe's exgirlfriend dies. Nope she's fine, even her fun tiny buddy is okay! The galaxy doesn't care about the resistance. actually, they just didn't care about Leia and were more willing to help Lando apparently. Rey dies. No she gets revived by Ben. I kind of wanted them to take turns reviving each other until they found that nice medium where they could both be half alive and limp out of there. Ben slumping over actually made my theatre laugh out loud. That's another thing, for a Disney movie I found my theatre surprisingly unamused by a lot of the jokes, with the ben death getting the biggest (unintentional) laugh.

Empty quote is a time- honored posting tradition. Only a coward uses  or says "not empty quoting" out of fear (it's ok as a style choice).
