Brother Entropy posted:rey's skills don't really bug me so much as her just being kind of a nothing character to the point that the guy who was originally supposed to die 20 minutes in has more of a graspable personality than the film's main protagonist, she feels very bland in a series of films that otherwise is full of archetypal but interesting heroes The Gary Sue fighter pilot?

Podracing is more Nascar than chariots imo.

Neo Rasa posted:A lightsaber can cut through anything but there's a lot of factors regarding the construction of the saber and how proficient the person is with the force that can effect whether it will in a specific instance. IIRC [technobabble] regarding the user going with the flow of the blade/the crystal in it/whatever and that's why part of the formal training involves someone constructing their own when they're ready. Like even in the 90s EU comics there'd be instances where a lightsaber fails to cut a thing but it was always that the person sucked or some other thing was going down. A lightsaber is a fancy blowtorch. There's nothing magical about them in the Lucas films.

Grendels Dad posted:This kinda looks like Tilda Swinton's Ancient One from Doctor Strange. Except for the head, obviously. It's set six months after she died.

porfiria posted:I never really liked the prophecy angle in the prequels (it also barely comes up after Phantom except at the very end IIRC). It feels like kind of a plot device to get everyone hyped up but why not just have babby Anakin blow up a Hutt with his mind or something. How would he then turn to the dark side of the force later on? You've lost your main character's whole arc.
