Pretty sure the "My father has it, my sister has it - you have it" in the trailer is the actual sound clip from ROTJ

Oh, and I don't know if anyone caught this, but during Rey's vision, Maz's temple becomes this.

There was bad parts of those fights, for sure. But that doesn't mean forget all the sequencing (you know, like how people that actually train to fight tend to know how to do) and go back to this stupid poo poo

This scene isn't about the lightsaber fight though. It's 100% about the characters. That's what every lightsaber fight should be about. Not the fighting or the cool moves.

You're not even addressing what I've been saying. Shut up with your fan boy excuses for why its ok that the fighting has been dumbed down. I liked the characters, I liked the emotional fighting that we get in TFA back to what I'm saying, it doesnt make sense that suddenly jedi (kylo) who have been training in fighting sequences suddenly don't do that anymore and just hack at each other chaotically.

Ren clearly never got that far in his training. It makes sense thematically that no one knows how to use a lightsaber correctly. The only character who should be able to post prequels is Darth Vader and Obi Wan. It's a lost, dead religion.

JJ Abrams said in an interview that his lightsaber battles are more like a conversation, and he didn't feel like making them highly choreographed. But he heavily implied Rian Johnson wants to go that route. So we'll see.

Have a link to this? It'll be unfortunate if we see a departure from the emotional saber battles that we finally got back.

I think I misheard. He does say he 'maybe' he'll take that approach, but for some reason it felt more like a hint when I first heard it.

Just call me wrong. But here it is.

For you? Same font of which all prequel criticisms are ultimately sourced, no matter how much :words: you use to claim otherwise: you didn't grow up with the prequels.

I grew up with the prequels and I don't like them. I hated Attack of the Clones in the theater. But Revenge of Sith was badass because of all the cool moves and the child murder. :black101:

TPM I was 7
Attack of the Clones I was 11
Revenge of the Sith I was 14.

There's plenty of time in the next two movies for Phasma to do at least one of those things.

Um. He followed Han Solo to Cloud City, talked back to Darth Vader, and then took Han Solo to Jabba's Palace.

right, "made a delivery", like I said. He didn't even package the delivery. And then he died looking like a bumbling idiot.

THAT'S not how HYPERSPACE works.

Actually I was discussing with my coworkers - as a kid I wouldn't have cared if the science is bad, I would have enjoyed it if star trek teleporters were present and the lightsabers could shoot out beams of light, and if people had force-jetpacks to fly through the skies. The older I get the more I tend to pick at the science.

There is no science in Star Wars.

The lightsaber fight was really tense for me. But less so because I was worried, and more so because of all the emotions rising up from it.

Perhaps you should actually pay attention to the film before you go flip out like this.

The Starkiller planet is green when we first see it during Hux's speech. With the sun dying it becomes a frozen hellhole. This is why there are still green trees when they land there, they're just covered by tons of ice.

No it wasn't.

Yes it was. Look at the shot of Starkiller Base firing. The leaves on the trees are entirely green and free of ice. Their base is in the mountains but the planet itself is covered with ice when it clearly wasn't before.

It does seem a touch excessive, really, since a quick Google search says one second of the Sun's energy output is equivalent to the power our civilization would use for 500,000 years, and it's got five billion years left of fuel. Where does the mass go, and how do they contai--gently caress, IS THIS HOW YOU PEOPLE THINK ALL THE TIME?!

The big space machine sucks the sun into it's hole and then shoots the sun power out of it's hole. It's really quite simple!
