Nobody is confused by the poster. The guy that made the poster, however, was confused by the opening shot.

The "I rebel" line rules. What the gently caress is wrong with you people. It's two words in response to accusations of being a miscreant. It was awesome. :colbert:

It great, actually. For reasons I stated in a previous post.

Yeah, I love how its both sarcastic and confident, with a touch of uncertainty in what she's doing while also being a badass.

I sure am looking forward to the never-before-seen character of "sarcastic confident badass". "A touch of uncertainty" is also such an interesting character flaw, Jyno Erso truly will be a modern day Hamlet.

teagone posted:

Yes, yes. It's a single line of dialogue that exerts multiple facets of the character not just through the meaning of the words, but also in the way they are delivered. That's why I think it's good! Why do you think it's bad?

"sarcastic and confident [...] while also being a badass" isn't really multiple facets of a character. I also don't see how you're getting uncertainty from the line, unless you think the mere presence of a question in a line denotes a character's uncertainty.

Hello yes I'm writing my dissertation on why it's actually the right move to edit a 30 year old movie so that the original actor is photoshopped out in favor of another one. It makes sense if you watch the sextology in my recommended order.

Is that the arcane recommended order the same order as the films are numbered? What a weird way to watch a films series, I'm sure nobody has ever done that before.

Anakin is an awful character. His arc as a conflicted hero does not work for me because he's pretty much a disturbed villain from the start. He's way too arrogant, way too hot headed, and he's horny to a point of being incredibly creepy. His arc only works if he's a villain from the start, but if that's the case, then he's a boring character because he doesn't change. He just gets worse. It's just the most un-interesting character to me.

It's great visual and sound design. I remember thinking it was really long before, but on my Blu-ray re-watch, it seemed fine. The best character in the race is Sebulba's podracer:

The engine sounds in the prequels are all great. I have a particular love for the speeders that Obi-Wan and Anakin drive on Coruscant in AOTC.

Like, who knows, maybe TFA will be the same after 7 years passes, like what has happened for Avatar. But it's not the case yet.

You can't really make an assumption that the same won't be true soon enough.

e: Although I do think that "Avatar syndrome" won't catch on quite as quickly for TFA because they're actually getting the sequels done promptly instead of sitting around doing nothing for 7 years.

What's the difference between people who don't like the PT because its not what they wanted, and Cnut's problem with Finn because his story wasn't about what Cnut wanted?

The non-existent story that Cnut discusses is one that many people in this thread seem to think is contained in the film.

I am not pro-business, however the citizens of a republic should still be represented even if they own a business. Mormons are the majority of Utah, they get a pro-mormon representive. The majority of the federations' planets are pro-federation, they get a pro-federation representive.

The Trade Federation are not simply "pro-business", they are a corporation. It'd be like if Disney was a representative in Congress.

My entire point is that the Jedi do -not- ignore slavery. An impoverished tatooine child slave is given a test to rise above his status precisely because the Jedi are sympathetic. The Jedi go out of their way to attempt a rescue of two slaves.

"One single child is freed from slavery by risking his life, this is clear evidence that the jedi are good!"
