so uh that makes jar jar's overall moral arc 'all sentient life should be treated with respect even if they talk funny....unless they can be a scapegoat for something that a whole lot of people were complicit in bringing about'

Taintrunner posted:Well, you're asking the wrong person, because I agree with this statement, but at the same time, there was nothing in the original trilogy trying to be "cute" outside of the Ewoks and we all know how well that bombed well the better comparison would be bb-8 and i don't remember people hating on it

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Do you deny that there are heroes on both sides? depends on which definition of 'hero' we're using! in the sense of straightforward pulp-y 'hero vs villain' though no there's no heroes in aotc doing the right thing, just people being led towards their own destruction by their moral failings (which is why aotc rules)

thrawn527 posted:The negative reaction to Porgs is pretty surprising. We have no idea how involved in the movie they are, at this point. I think it's highly likely they're just cute little animals that show up here and there, and marketing is running with it because they're cute. Like, unless they end up being the key to bringing down Snoke, who could possibly give a poo poo in a negative way right now? it's weird that you think it's just a happy accident that marketing is rolling with the fact that tlj has new very cute and marketable mascots

anakin is specifically terrible around one woman, a woman he's had up on a pedestal since he was a child and he's never really had an opportunity to get her out of his head because the jedi doctrine on attachments makes it difficult for him to meet any other potential romantic outlets

Phi230 posted:She doesn't say "fight to save what you love" she says "Save what you love, not fight what you hate" word for word she's expressing what's important in the fight, not saying fighting at all is bad rose is introduced in the movie grieving that a loved one died like a big impressive hero over a pyrrhic victory that ultimately saved no one and her climax is stopping that from happening again and her faith that saving what's important to you is paramount is rewarded afterwards when between the lessons that luke and poe learned earlier, everyone is saved from what looks like a hopeless situation

MixMastaTJ posted:What exactly is the resistance's goal? I assumed their best case was to depose Snoke and somehow seize control of the First Order. You know, like how revolutions do? So Rey managed to convince Kylo Ren into rejoining the good side and they brought down Snoke. kylo explicitly says he wants to destroy the institutions of the past--including the jedi--so uh, no i don't agree that rey could've more easily restored the jedi order by joining him

Dr.Radical posted:Ok so I assume this has been discussed before but I don't want to dig through the thread. Rose and Finn are told to find the code breaker who has a red blossom on the Monaco planet, they see a dude with the red blossom pin but they don't get to him, BDT offers to help them, they decide to give up on getting to the guy with the actual pin that whatsherface says they can identify him by because BDT opens their cell and go on with their plan. So like, BDT was a plant the whole time and they just went with him due to time constraints or was he the actual code breaker they were told about but for some reason someone else had the red blossom pin? Star Wars is dumb as hell. When I went in watching it, I was still thinking "Wait so like the Rebels who beat the Empire are now the Resistence despite beating the Empire?" because they never loving explained that initially and this whole new series is a clusterfuck but I'll just watch it anyways because bleh. don't overthink it, there was just more than one good code breaker on a planet

exquisite tea posted:I think it's funny that we're in the third cycle of Star Wars trilogies here and the only plot-significant character contribution from a person of color came from fuckin' Lando back in 1983. Trash bin robots have played a more significant role in shaping the course of the galaxy than black people. ep3's plot coulda been way different without anakin walking in on mace windu trying to assassinate a politician
