>Longing for innocence is all that the insipidness of the latest sequel, The Force Awakens, signifies. When director J. J. Abrams re-stages that primal moment, he does it for brand recognition, but so unimaginatively that it feels hackneyed. Even though it’s meant to be painful for rabid Star Wars fanatics, it lacks mythological significance. Star Wars fans are not required to think metaphorically, so any Oedipal meaning is lost (although there is something of millennial ingratitude in the new filial confrontation), just as the original scene’s impact...

I agree. Safe, manufactured pile of garbage only to cash in on those gullible goyims.

Was John asleep behind the wheel? Why even have him score it?
There's Rey's Theme, and several additional motifs.
For the most part though, what do you expect from a movie that was built around being a massive nostalgia grab?
>>63809491
There was a memorable new main theme though. Even though I'd never heard it before, I could tell immediately the first time it played that this was the song of the movie.
Of course, people like you are too stupid to notice. Then in a few years after getting it drilled into your skull you'll consider it a classic.
meme theme lmao

He was already scared, why did he have to call him a pussy at the very end?
So what did you guys think of Kylo's lightsaber?
Pretty cool.
A fascimilie of a real lightsaber
Fucking awesome. The lightsabers in general looked great. I really fucking love how he used the crossguard to mutilate Finn before crippling him for life.

Fuck off back to reddit.
What was so appealing about this movie to cinema goers?
How did it make so much money?
It was right at the height of the 3D craze so everyone had to see it in 3d, which means the tickets were more then regular tickets. It litterally is the biggest meme movie there is.
Special effects. I saw it in IMAX 3d but have not seen the movie since it was in theaters.
>>63801184
Will the sequels make as much? I would have thought they hype would have really died down. I understand that it rode (pretty much reignited) the 3D craze but how many of those people loved it so much they thought I need to see more stories that take place on Pandora? That Jake Sully is such an awesome character.
No one will believe this but here are Episode VIII script details.

I really wanted captain phasma to be unmasked and properly fight fin and eventually become his love interest in the next two movies where eventually they have a tragic unrequited love ending and she dies.
This and I don't want to see Rey get BLACKED

>I don't get why /tv/ is bashing this movie, it was damn good. Solid 8.5/10.
I liked it, but I wish it had a few improvements.
-The best parts about the score were borrowed from other films. Even the prequels had great original music.
-Some things were unexplained or not well-established, mainly the relationship between the Republic, the Resistance, and the First Order. R2 coming awake seemed random and out of place but was probably caused by Rey, but that's not really shown.
-The destruction of the Starkiller was kind...

This post is correct 2bh.
Definitely thought it was better than ROTJ.
The movie moved a little to fast for me though,i feel like it should of been 20-30 minutes longer. Hope we get to see the whole movie eventually because some scenes and characters were cut (constable zuvio for one)
/tv/ is bashing it cause its popular and they hate popular things. And they like to be contrarians for the sake of being a contrarian

Okay so seriously, WHY does he wear the mask?And seriously, Han Solo's son? Seriously? He should have been a deranged cultist not a edgelord wiccan prettyboy
>>63819116
He wants to be like Vader. Vader wore an intimidating mask.
>>63819116
because a) hes a vader wannabe and b) seriously he's ugly as shit
I wish he kept it on, he was such a badass
>>63819116
>WHY does he wear the mask?
to sell toys by looking like Vader
/thread, stop treating this movie like a serious attempt to create a fantasy universe
Sheevposting aside, can we all admit he's the best actor in the series?
>who is Alec Guinness
>>63819019
In III he has some really good moments but Guinness also plays well in his character.
>>63819019
He knew it was a shit character and shit movie and embraced it. Loved him for it.
