Are people seriously comparing TFA to the OT? What the fuck? The movie is on par with the prequels at best.
>Extremely boring characters with little development
- Even if Rey isn't quite a Mary Sue, she is a extremely boring character with the classic "le tragic childhood" background that is good at everything and apparently 30x better than Luke at the force.
- Finn has zero character development throughout the whole movie, at the end he is exactly the same moralfag storm-trooper as he was at the start.
- That shitty droid just there for toys
- Han Solo and Leia very shittiliy developed and have some of the worst dialogue in the film
- Ren only decent character with depth, and also a huge rip off of Anakin
- That retarded huge eyed alien that is basically the new Jar Jar
- The extremely generic tie fighter pilot that we know nothing about other than that he's good at flying ships
- Very original idea of a dark and mysterious disfigured Sith secretly ruling the empire
>Terrible plot
- Complete rehash of ANH
- Its a death star but bigger! (Like I was tempted to just walk out at this point)
- Starkiller base is also shittier than the Death Star since its 3x bigger and yet needs to charge for at least an hour for every shot while the Death Star doesn't need ammo and is rapid fire, so completely pointless to build it
- Exact same plot about a brave tie fighter pilot managing to fly in at the nick of time and take out the ONE SMALL WEAKNESS in the base (there were a million other original ways to take down the base but instead they just copy pasted ANH)
- The setting that was painfully constructed over six movies removed and replaced with two sentences in the opening crawl and all the characters magically teleport to where they exactly were in ANH

>Shit dialogue
- Crappy one liners that made it seem like slapstick comedy
- Heavy handed references to OT that were supposed to make the nerds clap
- What the fuck was even happening between Finn and Rey? It was either the shittiest romance or the most retarded friendship
>Despite nearly every movie introducing new units, ships, planets or other lore through the background and setting, this movie did not even put the tiniest smidgen of effort into being original
>Despite being in a galaxy far far away 90% of the movie felt like it was filmed right on Earth and lacked any mystery in the background like all the other movies had

Finn went from coward to warrior, what are you talking about?
>That shitty droid just there for toys
How the fuck is that new?
>>64082195
>Han Solo and Leia very shittiliy developed and have some of the worst dialogue in the film
Again, how is that new?
>That retarded huge eyed alien that is basically the new Jar Jar
Who the fuck are you talking about? Maz? She was more like Obi-Wan IMO - the gatekeeper, explaining to Rey about the Force and paving the way for deeper training with a master.
>tie fighter pilot
HE WAS AN X-WING PILOT YOU STUPID FUCK
>Sith
He seems to have knowledge of the Dark Side, but there is nothing to suggest he's Sith.
>Complete rehash of ANH
Only the Death Star bits. Most of your complaints seem to rest upon that, with nothing to do with the rest of the story.
>The setting that was painfully constructed over six movies
What, exactly? The fact that they're in fucking space?
>magically teleport
It's been 30 years since Endor, what the fuck is wrong with you?

They spend three movies developing how the sith slowly gain power, then three more movies on how the rebellion takes it back. Then suddenly this whole new empire the good guys created which is at the height of its power, gets rekt by the sith, who we were told were nearly extinct. All we get explaining this is two sentences in the opening crawl. In addition to this the new rebellion looks exactly the same as the old one and had the same leader.

Are you retarded? The prequels are a hundred times better and feel way more like Star Wars. Their cast was amazing.

7 is just fanfic shit. Ren makes no sense at all, it makes no sense he adores Vader since Luke or anyone must told him he became good at the end and was burnt and even became a force ghost. It makes no sense he has force powers even Yoda was barely capable of who is 1000 years old. It makes no sense he joins the dark side and I doubt we'll ever get a good reason for this when Anakin wanted to save Padme's life. It makes no sense he suddenly loses to Ray who didn't even know what the force is and uses a sword for basically the first time. It makes no sense he freezes a blaster shot. This should not be possible. This was the main reason for whey they use blast weapons and not bullets in Star Wars, because Jedi could easily stop bullets. Now they can also just freeze plasma mit air. It makes no sense he doesn't even look 1 % like his parents.

And that's just this one character.

He was never a coward. What are you talking about? Just deciding to act against the empire, free some guy and flee from them and making "WOHOO" noises while being chosen by them is the opposite of what a coward is.

Not reading the rest of this shit.

>people that praise this shit movie have the brain of a 3 year old

Yes I agree the prequels are good in their own way. I just didn't want to start a shitstorm in this thread saying that in the OP.
>>
>>64083638
the prequels only feel way more like star wars because you grew up with them. they feel nothing like the OT.

>>64082195
You can take almost all of your "flaws" and apply them to the OT if you really want to hate and whine on everything desu
