Ammanas posted:Tfa doesn't feel rushed. It's a profoundly boring movie, especially on rewatch. it's boring because it's rushed, it's far more interested in speeding along to the next epic setpiece or OT callback than slowing down to provide a larger context for why anything is happening or characterizing any of its new cast(except kylo ren)

i adore 'they died' as an answer because it's really the logical conclusion to fandom-y treating fictional stories as historical documents and treating characters as real people

Schwarzwald posted:I don't buy that, if only because I don't think you can create a series over the course of six films and however many decades and not take it seriously. there's a world of difference between 'not taking it seriously' and 'taking it less serious than star wars fans' though fans will almost always take a piece of media more seriously than their creators, because they haven't had the time behind the scenes putting effort into creating it to constantly remind them that it's ultimately a piece of art and not a window into another universe that just magically sprung up from the aether

the han solo stuff really feels like lucasfilm swallowing their own hype about star war's importance such that a goofy dude like han solo has to be lionized way more than the original trilogy treats him

so is rian a gundam fan because rey and kylo interacting across vast distances and achieving a kind of understanding in each other that they'd never be able to do if they were just physically in the same space gave me hella newtype vibes, even for force stuff and i love me some newtype bullshit e: oh duh there's also some emphasis on like, how the past generation and the new generation deal with each other; although TLJ's 'it's okay to fail' and 'we're there to be eventually surpassed by them' is a lot more forgiving than the early tomino view of the near inevitability of older generations exploiting the young and perverting their near-infinite potential to be more than the past Brother Entropy fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Dec 23, 2017 |

Barry Foster posted:Hux and Kylo being near explicitly coded as alt right dweebs is my favourite part of these movies. tbh i don't love this read because it gives the alt-right the importance they want but don't deserve the first order effectively has control of the entire galaxy and vast military power; the alt-right are just racist internet shut-ins who think they matter because the guy they made memes of became president (also these films haven't gone nearly enough into the first order's actual ideology for this to fit, they're just kinda generic authoritarians)

beejay posted:Is this thread referring to Finn as a janitor a joke? He wasn’t actually a janitor. I can’t tell if I’m being whooshed. he was a janitor, though; tfa establishes this(that opening scene was his first time in combat) and tlj also references it when he mentions that the best guy to get them towards the mcguffin they need to gently caress with to escape is the guy who mopped where it's being held the real question is why the hell did he go from a janitor to being on the frontlines

also on a more meta level finn is really obviously just a janitor because they wanted a former stormtrooper who changes sides but disney was too cowardly to actually have innocent blood on a protagonist's hands so finn is in this weird state of culpable and not culpable at all

i was being glib because the whole situation keeping finn's stormtrooper hands clean felt real contrived and worsened his character arc, i don't actually think it's a big mystery

McCloud posted:
keep in mind that the republic willingly became the empire and that the resistance and the nu-republic(did this ever get a name?) are separate entities you could read a lot of different reasons into why the average galaxy-dweller doesn't seem to give a poo poo about the resistance but tbh the ST so far has touched on civilians so minorly all we can really go off of so far is del Toro's character who's such an oddball that he definitely isn't supposed to be the view point of the average person in space

that trailer is such a big pile of nothing i don't really have any more positive or negative feelings about seeing the final film than i did before i saw it like, there are a couple neat looking ships and character designs in there but there's nothing really intriguing about the movie (except the behind the scenes poo poo) if i don't subscribe to the idea that han solo's simple backstory needed a generic heist film to flesh it out

Phenotype posted:It means that I think they were written poorly? I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, here. What do you think it means? how were they written poorly? i think lucas did a great job of depicting the jedi as out of touch and too entrenched in politics to be the actual good people they claim themselves to be the jedi ignore slavery both in the republic and outside of it and the eventual fate of 99% of them is getting shot in the back by the slave army they thought they had control over

Once they leave the movie takes a marked downturn as it starts going rapid-fire from plot point to plot point with very little weight to anything. yeah that's fair, jakku's setting and atmosphere just didn't do much for me pesronally on an objective level it probably is the best part of the film for the reasons you mentioned

Eiba posted:That's a decent reading of Force Awakens, and that is how Rey thinks of herself and how the audience is meant to think of Rey. But then we learn that factually it's not true, no matter how Rey thinks of herself. Rey then has to deal with the idea that she doen't live in a fairy tale world where the noble hero Luke will help restore her to her proper station. Luke's an rear end and her parents were poo poo nobodies and she has to find her own way. i mean, the only difference there in her assumptions and her real life is that she lives in a fairy tale world where she's the noble hero it is factually true that rey is above all those scavengers because she's so crazy powerful that even luke is afraid of her potential
