Why didn't they do a force pike or vibroblade? Why didn't someone say "hey JJ/prop guy/writer/whoever, that's dumb looking. Let's spend a little more time figuring this one out."?

It's too big and unwieldy. I guess I could see it as a breaching weapon, clubbing doors down. Maybe a rancor prod. It doesn't look like it was made to fight lightsabers to me.

OK. I'm talking about the stormtrooper though. That thing doesn't look like a magnaguard force pike. The way it's held doesn't look so hot for combating a saber, to me. The Emperor's Guard had force pikes too, but we never got to see them in action.

The cartoon? They had all kinds of bullshit in that including jedi force pushing away flamethrowers and if it's not been removed from canon yet it soon will be. Why not just have armies of magna guards then? Literally unstoppable.

Is this some kind of super storm trooper? How can a single storm trooper be a threat to a main character?
>>
>>62857239
>Why is it split into 2? Is it to catch the saber or something?

To act as a swordbreaker or jitte, I imagine. Again, not necessarily against lightsabers by design, there are plenty of other melee weapons out there that need a counter.
>>
>>62858088
They've learned from their past mistakes. This is Spetznav-level infantry.

They're here to kick ass.
>>
>>62858104
If it was supposed to catch something wouldn't the space between them be further away, desu? Can't say I mind it, I love the idea of a storm trooper actually doing some shit, but the look is pretty distracting to me.
>>
>>62857950
unfortunately specialized anti-lightsaber mooks make the main characters look less like epic heroes.

it's just not the way to do it. it's like if Return of the King had introduced Orcs with magic wands that let them fight Gandalf more effectively. it's a stupid idea.

instead you make the "nemesis" characters big bosses types like Vader/the Witch King/etc and use their anti-Hero abilities in a single fight scene per movie so the heroes can spend the rest of the time looking cool.
>>

Liea got knocked out by Stormtroopers in Star Wars 1977. Finn is the new princess of the series.

The jedi are more prominent than during the Empire and if I had the resources I would certainly send my troops in with appropriate gear

Also stupid. The Sith were too busy flipping their lightsabers around their fingers in lavish flourishes like idiots, just like how they had to wind back to swing at the main one when he was charging Malgus. The ones at the beginning should have been able to easily defeat some lowly soldiers that lacked force abilities, but it was basically a "look how fucking cool the troopers are" trailer.

The villains always lose because it's written for them to do so, but if it wasn't retarded the Sith would have just raked their lightsabers nonchalantly through the troops and been done with it.

>>62856973
Why? Ignoring the in-universe reason why that's dumb, a sword is inherently inferior to a gun. Regardless if the lightsaber can block blaster shots, one needs to be able to use it properly to deflect them, especially with some of those repeaters, with how many shots they fire.

A melee weapon will always be shittier than a gun. The only difference in Star Wars is that the Jedi have the force to help them out

Because the OT, specifically Episode V, is the only movie in six worth mentioning. When they've created a masterpiece once, and shitstains of varying degrees five times, you want this to be another fluke.

But it won't, it will be mediocre at best. It might stand up to Episode VI, but that's it.

KotOR is pleb central. Overrated as shit, turned that exotic esoteric era into prequel generic, had a few good characters and was an alright D20 base game, but totally overrated.

TIE/X-Wing series, Dark Forces series, and Rebellion are the best, with Shadows of the Empire getting an honorable mention (besides Dash Rendar being a shit protag), and the first Battlefront does too for having probably the greatest capture point map ever designed (Rhen Var Castle).

The way it is shot makes it feel like a tv show with a low budget.

They didnt even manage to include cgi backgrounds.

Also, there aren't many actors on screen and everything ends up looking empty and staged.
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PxLei2vdW0&feature=player_detailpage#t=49

Look. It works just like a Magna Guards' fucking Vibrostaff. Honestly, it makes sense that the Empire reintroduced anti-Jedi weaponry considering how much damage Luke managed to cause by himself.

I'm actually happy with how hopeless Finn is looking to be considering even the lowest ranking trooper can take him on now.

I'm not racist against anybody. I'm actually half-black. I'm just saying the sets and costumes look off. Like >>62861031 said it looks like a low budget TV show. Probably because they're weirdly averse to CGI in this Star Wars.
>>
>>62861031
Considering JJ wants these to look like the originals in how practical and not over the top with the CGI I'm digging it. It's shaping up to have a campiness that a kids sci-fi show would have. Which I feel works since Star Wars, as great as it is, shouldn't be aiming for a cinematic fucking masterpiece.

Yes but the OT had some magnificent backgrounds and art superimposed to make it look majestic.

Fucking normie trees on the background of a styrofoam rock set is not very appealing.

I'm afraid they're gonna fuck it up just because of the "cgi is sin" meme. They should still use cgi when it's appropriate.

Yes but cgi should still be around , for example making jawdropping backgrounds or adding little details.

What in the hell man, I swear i thought the orcish economy was centered around teeth?

Like one orc could never be too poor because they could just sell some of their teeth and just wait for new ones to grow.

But like her teeth are so damn small. Are all the orc women's teeth that small? Are the Orc females inherently poorer than the males biologically?

I would appreciate someone shedding light on this.
