I was already getting sick of the ramped up GoT takes from mouth-breathing fans trying to justify their favorite rape and incest porn as a complex and masterful piece of storytelling, and now I guess I can throw awful Star Wars takes on top of that trash pile for the rest of the year.

The Death Star ruins are just going to be a big old product placement thing for the new theme park. Rey and Co. are going to walk into it and find themselves in Orlando or California or wherever Disney is. Oooh what are these strange aliens?? They’re obese white Americans.

I’ll admit: the first time I watched TLJ, I found myself really enjoying the bomber scene at the beginning because it reminded me of the whole “WWII in space” thing that I liked so much in the OT as a kid. Then later that day I was talking about that scene to someone and as I was describing it I gradually kind of faltered and realized “Wait...but it doesn’t make any GODDAMN SENSE. gently caress!”

Chomp8645 posted:It's because the pieces in play don't make sense translated to their WW2 counterparts. In that war, big payload bombers were used against general area targets like factory complexes or for general bombardment of cities. They had basically zero controlled accuracy and would saturation bomb the target area.They would never be used against warships in a naval engagement. Attacking ships was the job of much smaller dive bombers or torpedo bombers. Agreed. And loving...I don’t think those Resistance bombers would work against ground targets either, at least where any kind of AA stuff was in play, because they’re hilariously slow! Like I get that—at least sticking with the WWII parallel—bombers are slower than fighters. Fine. But the Resistance bombers are slow to the point of being impractical. Not to mention the fact that they have to fly low enough over their target that the final bomber that actually gets through also gets caught in the explosion it caused! Holy gently caress! Why even make that ship?? I’m getting angry all over again. Motherfuckers taking my WWII in space movies and turning them into poo poo.

TheIncredulousHulk posted:I posted a huge dumb post about it in a previous version of this thread but the big reason those bombers seem so stupid is because the dramatic mechanics of the opening battle are turbofucked and lots of people focus on the implausibility of the bombers when they might have otherwise overlooked or forgiven it Indeed. I’ll overlook a lot of stupid poo poo if it means I can really enjoy a good space battle scene, but TLJ couldn’t even give me that. Vim Fuego posted:I also appreciated that the movie was playing off of wwii bombing runs, but I didn't enjoy the scene because 1. It was preceded by the "yo mama" joke and 2. The movie did not bother to introduce the bomber crew, meaning I did not have any emotional connection to them when they died, so the choice to shoot their death scenes so poignantly was overwrought and silly Specifically to your second point, it could’ve been quite compelling and different if the audience had some connection to the bombing crews. That could’ve been a pretty tragic and emotional scene, maybe even with themes of sacrifice or whatnot. Instead it’s hard to see it any other way than terribly comical, because a) as you said it comes right after a cringey yo momma joke, and b) I can’t help laughing when I think of the idiots that would just causally agree that flying their slow-as-poo poo bombers with minimal escort straight at the enemy ship is the best course of action.

skasion posted:Star Wars’ depiction of slavery has more influence from antiquity or feudal peasantry (again, the characters that directly inspired R2-D2 and C-3PO are the bumbling pair of 15th-century Japanese peasants who serve as accidental protagonists of “The Hidden Fortress”) than from modern American slavery, which had really hosed up psychosexual/racial undercurrents lurking underneath the hosed upness of slavery itself. I mean maybe one of the droids’ previous owners was loving them, who’s to say? Just a quick memory wipe before sale and Bing Bing Bong.

Episode IX will subvert my expectations if: - They replace Finn with a white actor doing blackface - They never address this offensive and unnecessary change, either in the film or IRL - When asked, John Boyega adamantly insists that he plays the character of Finn in the movie, and doesn’t understand why everyone keeps saying he’s been replaced by a white man in grotesque blackface
