The fuckability scale runs from 10 (Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca) to 0 (Nick Swardson in anything). Let's run the numbers: OT Luke Skywalker - 5.4 Leia Organa - 8.1 Han Solo - 10.0 (8.9 in Jedi) Lando Calrissian - 9.5 Darth Vader - #VALUE! PT Anakin Skywalker - 5.9 Obi-Wan Kenobi - 7.7 Padme Amidala - 6.3 Padme's Decoy - 7.1 Yoda - 3.9 Chancellor Sheeve Palpatine - 5.7 TFA Rey Redacted - 6.8 "Finn" - 5.7 Poe Dameron - 9.4 Kylo Ren - 5.3

hhhat posted:The blowing up the planets was exactly from anh because it's to show you that they can blow up planets. And then they point it at the planet where all the people in the movie are. Danger! That's not impending danger; they just blew up the entire Republic. They could have just smash-cut to credits, because the movie is effectively over at that point.

It's pretty damning when you compare the tension with Leia just standing there watching a screen during the Death Star attack in ANH versus the lack of tension when she's standing there looking at a similar screen in TFA. Both have the same underlying logic hole- why don't the Rebels just get in their ships and leave the planet? - but through the magic of editing, and music, and good stuff like that, the situation at the Rebel base feels urgent in ANH compared to TFA. There's no oh poo poo "Death Star is cleared to fire" moment to be found here. We don't even have any feel for where the Resistance base is in relation to the rest of the action.

Waffles Inc. posted:I'm starting to think that the people who say they like RotJ a lot haven't genuinely examined it as a film I loved it as a kid and it has some great móments (Luke/Emperor confrontation mainly) but it's really simple and well there is lot of dumb poo poo either added later or already present (Ewoks, weird Jabba singer scene, that bizarre rat thing next to Jabba, Ewoks well you know Jabba in general was just really pervy and creepy instead of being scary). It's definitely the weakest of the original three. site posted:Rotj ended up the way it did because Lucas has admitted to only having half a movie's worth of story and was just like well I'll throw in another death star to give all the non Luke cast something to do in the back half. What's the new movie's excuse though Toilet Mouth posted:It's pretty damning when you compare the tension with Leia just standing there watching a screen during the Death Star attack in ANH versus the lack of tension when she's standing there looking at a similar screen in TFA.

It's weird because unlike the prequels they have good actors all around here (Kylo Ren being terrible in my opinion doesn't mean that the actor doesn't pull a whiny piece of poo poo perfectly) who are actually allowed to show their emotions but it just feels so weightless. They kill like ten times the people that died in Alderaan and exactly five seconds is spent on reflecting it. Han Solo's death barely seems to elicit much of a reaction from Leia. Seriously what a lovely end to one of my favorite movie relationships. Instead of seeing Rey grow as a character she is perfect fighter/mechanic/pilot from the start and can more then hold her own against Kylo Ren. Finn actually had flaws and generally didn't know poo poo which was great. The first half of the movie actually had tension and potentially threatening enemies. Then in the second half they get owned by few rookies, an old man, Chewbacca and what seems to be honestly less the a dozen X-wings. Was the First Order supposed to be the underdog here? Maybe Kylo Ren is the real protagonist  he certainly had a much more difficult and tension-filled arc... DarkCrawler fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Apr 16, 2016 |

I think you might be right, sort of. I've thought about this, and the term I would rather say is 'relatability'. A character can be a piece of poo poo but there's something about them that draws us to them due to maybe something we've felt or perhaps share similar views or what have you. It's a full on personal thing. But I think there's something to it. Although it's a hard concept to lock down. Like, I really love Ralph Finnes character in Schindler's List, but he's by far the worst piece of poo poo in the film. I wouldn't even call him relatable or likable, but the character is absolutely compelling. Or maybe compelling is the best word! I don't know! I just know that nothing the prequel characters do (outside of Obi Wan because he's p neat) is something i can relate too. I could on a basic level, but the way they go about it is just, yeesh. Not my thang.

Like I don't think it's any coincidence that Palpatine is the fan favorite for the PT.

I've never bought any Star Wars merchandise beyond the home video releases and one or two tie-in books but I bought a plush BB-8 because he is ridiculously adorable which I guess translates to "eminently fuckable" on C/D's weird scale.

You gotta be making GBS threads me with the Padme fuckability. Leia an 8 is okay, but there needs to be a few decimal points added for the beginning of RotJ alone. Padme definitely deserves to be in the 7-8 range, as well. Sure, as a Queen she was pretty bad--but once she stops acting the queen from that point on in all three movies she's higher.

The director says he was only trying to point out that The Force Awakens builds up the mystery of Rey’s parents without resolving it. “What I meant was that she doesn’t discover them in Episode VII. Not that they may not already be in her world,” Abrams said.

computer parts posted:He actually says "Rey doesn't discover her parents in Episode 7". Which could mean anything from "they don't show up at all" to "she hasn't discovered they're her parents", or even just "she only discovered one of them, not both of them". I don't understand why they're playing so coy about it. Also, it's funny reading all these headlines that distort people's comments completely. I think last week Daisy Ridley said something about how she feels that Rey's parentage isn't as important (to Daisy) as Rey's emotional journey, and that was turned into "Rey's parents aren't important! Rey Skywalker de-confirmed!"
