A lightsaber is an altogether different beast. One wrong move and you'll cut your arms off.

>>63706385
Completely different. Sure she will be better than your average goon. But she beats Ren who has been trained in combat and with the force.

She just out of fucking nowhere reverses his force mind trick/control and beats him in one to one combat. There is no explanation for that at all, she just does it out of no where.

If she had some training before then they didn't show it, so it's bad story telling. But it's most likely she is a fucking Mary Sue which is even worse than not explaining a back story.

Try and argue that I'm wrong, I fucking dare you.

Like, look at the matrix, which did this really well: Neo was literally The One, and he spent the first two acts of that movie getting repeatedly BTFO by everyone and everything, with occasional hints that he could legit be The One. Then in act 3 his experiences and training come together and he's able to realize his potential and BTFO the forces that have previously proven unbeatable.

This is a really easy movie to write, I don't know why they wrote a shit movie like TFA instead. Everyone who claims not to understand this is either shitposting or actually retarded.

Kylo isn't even Jedi at all.

In a real fight between an amateur fighter vs a pro the pro would win 99/100.

But this isn't even like that. You and all the other mongs keep forgetting the god damn force. Rey has no training with it at all, yet she bests Kylo Ren who has been trained and quite well as we're led to believe.

Chosen one doesn't explain that.

It's either bad story telling or a Mary Sue, take your pick it doesn't really matter anyway cause the film is still shit.

The problem isn't that she's a female character or that she beat Kylo Ren. A genuinely strong female character who's set up to be a great warrior or whatever would make sense in the film.

The problem is she's set up as a rookie starting on her heroic journey but she goes straight to being a magical mary sue who beats the main baddie. It simultaneously makes Kylo look weak (not good if you want a threatening villain) and makes her boring because she overcomes all her obstacles easily.

I have to be honest, Star Wars: TFA doesn't make a lot of sense to me at the basic product / toy commercial level these movies are supposed to work on. Star Wars is an actionbabby franchise for 5-10 year old white boys, yet the main character is a girl with a black sidekick?

It just seems like they're going to turn off little boys who don't want to watch some ~dumb girl~ while failing to capture many girls because girls don't actually want to be empowered warrior womyn, they want to be the princess from Frozen.

It seems really strange for a company like Disney, which always does a good job of paying lip service to tolerant PC values but shaping its actual product around the understanding that little kids don't give a shit about being PC.

I mean I entirely recognize the possibility that Disney is smarter than me and that their market research shows that Star Wars is the exception and that laser swords are so compelling that 5-10yo boys will buy the toys even if the movie is about a dumb girl. It just throws me because it seems like it runs contrary to everything I've ever seen Disney produce.

You're right.

I actually like Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games, but looking back on her movie, she got so many lucky breaks it was absurd.

She got the prodigy design guy who made -the- dress to have her stand out, she got a fellow tribute who was willing to put his life over hers, she got a random tribute to save her life for no reason, and there was even a special snowflake rule applied to her game that allowed there to be two winners so she never had to seriously struggle with being alone in a death match

But Katniss Everdeen is a fucking god send compared to Rey if these spoilers are true

Passion is the path to the dark side of the force... It makes you strong, give in to your emotions...

Remember when Luke and Vader fight in episode 6? Old Darth never seems to have to try too hard while Luke is going all out sweating and trying to kill Vader. But never really gets the upper hand.

It isn't until our hero flies into a rage, consumed by anger and emotion to protect his sister that he is able to overpower Vader. In that moment of anger he beats the sith lord and only in severing his hand to see that Vader is or was just like him does his mind snap out of it, shaking with the adrenaline rush he calms his nerves and throws away his weapon.

I thought it worked well in the context of the movie. It's obvious they're trying to portray Jedi's as very powerful rather than nigh invulnerable. In the prequels, the Jedi's could do anything - if the script called for it - but could just as easily be beaten in a second - if the script called for it. It all felt very Mary Sue.

In this one, like in the old films, the Jedi aren't depicted as anything but very powerful beings that have the force as a tool to use.

Besides, as someone mentioned, she is supposed to be the chosen One and Kylo Ren was already weakened by a blaster shot to the side and lightsaber cut to the shoulder. I did not mind this development.

I rather found that this film was way to similar to ANH. I mean all the major plot elements are exactly the same. Some of the characters haven't even gotten anywhere since last time we saw them. And that Emperor wannabe, the Supreme Leader, what the fuck... Stuff like that is so unoriginal.

bruv, i once knew a woman who was into mma and fitness and stuff...she'd do competitions and everything. at the time i was an occasional lifter, not too much...but no fighting experience outside of street fights. anyway:

>out one night with her and friends
>we're celebrating a tournament win she had a few days prior
>she's been acting weird with me pretty much all night, punching me in the arm, belittling me and stuff, i think it's all in good fun, though
>later on the topic of her being able to beat any guy here comes up
>i say lol, nah (mostly as a dig at her after her belittling me all night)
>she gets genuinely offended, it seems
>she offers to fight me
>i say yeah ok, thinking she was joking
>she's not
>i say fuck off i'm not fighting you
>she gets me in a headlock, i'm calm at this point, she'll stop soon
>she doesn't stop, everyone is laughing, even others in the outside area of the pub we're in
>she let's go anyway
>ask her what the fuck that was about
>it's just a joke anon
>i call her a bitch
>she starts going for me, punching me
>fuck this bitch
>restrain her wrist with my hand and punch her in the face twice
>she staggers back and starts crying
>i get told to leave
>one of my friends sticks up for me, the others aren't having it
>we both leave
>never hang with that bitch again

The force is not fixed, some people are naturally born with greater power and natural skil. Ren might have more training, but he could also have a low midichlorian count and on the whole need training to accomplish what a natural has from day 1. Just because you have a lot of practice and training doesnt automatically make you good or I would be jimi hendrix's second coming by now. Before the EU was whiped she was hardly the first character like this in the former canon. Hell luke was able to fuck vader in the face after only spending a few months camping in a swamp with a toad hermit, he had to go back and finish but compare lukes weeks in a swamp to vaders years of instruction at the temple. Also as someone else said the linkin park edge master was not even apprentice level and hadnt finished his training either.

Nice trips Bro.

I do a fight show at some Ren Fair every year, it is similar to BOTN style but not crazy Russian flying armored dropkick.

Anyway there are a few women in our group, they fight the guys and we try not to pull punches. However every time I end up fighting one of the ladies the crowd boos and harps on the guys for winning the fight. They laugh like hell when the guy looses.

Keep in mind we are all wearing enough Armor that it is very hard to even leave so much as a bruise on the other fighter without seriously trying.

People will never be OK with a guy hitting a woman, no matter the circumstances. Because we are millions of years conditioned to look down upon people who use violence against those that can't hurt them back. Women, children, the elderly, tards.

There is literally nothing wrong with Strong Independant women as long as they're on both sides.

Kylo should have been a woman as well but since women are poor oppressed victims who can do no wrong the villain had to be a patriarch resulting in this cringefest

Dooku is the 3rd greatest Duelist in the Jedi Order, Windu is right on par with him, but I put Windu above as he is a master of every form of Lightsaber combat like Palpatine, while Dooku is absolute perfection at only form 2 (by choice).

Dooku's style is based on balance, delicate precision and detail, Anakin is immature brute force and he was great at it in their first duel, but Dooku was immeasurably better at his skill in form 2.

In the final fight, Anakin skill had improved a bit, but not enough to make a huge difference, what did Dooku in is Anakin's raw youth and power being poured into every fucking blow.

Form 2 is a superb style, but it lacks kinetic energy and a strong defense and eventually Anakin's blows battered Dooku down.

>>63708087
But by your logic, if I had not practise with a guitar but had a 'talent' shall we say, I would then be able to pick one up and beat some guy that had average talent but practised for years?

It doesn't work like that at all.

Even so, even if Ren didn't finish his training. He had some training, which is more than Rey. Sure enough Rey is good at hand to hand. But with no experience with the force she can't possibly beat Ren, as per your own analogy.

This story only works two ways, either Rey has done a Mary Sue. Or Rey has been trained, and there is some nonsense behind it all which they won't indulge the audience with. But neither make for a good story, at all.

A light saber isn't liquid nuke so you can hold it and maybe even use it. Kylo however isn't the same as Han using the saber to cut out a dead animal's guts. Kylo was an active saber user bested by a novice.

>>63707347
Han was a fighter, couldnt fight Vader with his blaster though. In this case they went out of their way to make Rey all powerful. They're going to make Rey a dyke or at the very least bi-sexual because in their fucked up brains you can't seperate a strong woman from a dyke or bisexual charicture. Like no strong woman has ever settled for simply wanting to be a Mrs. She some how has to be a butch who gets the girl or a girl. Those fucking fucks did it with Korra and they'll do it again.

it's more about the fact that in terms of reproduction, which is our only purpose as far nature gives a shit, men are mostly worthless while women are a valuable commodity. Sperm is cheap and eggs, gestation and birth are expensive.

I've honestly not thought that much about the mind reading part. I agree that that was slightly more unbelievable but honestly, you can just explain it with >forceforce and balance lelmao or some shit like that.

I don't have a hard time believing that an novice could beat a wounded master. You have no idea how badly hurt Ren was and when it comes to the swordfight you're all just bullshitting your way through. If it's the fact that Rey is a weak ass woman that's the problem you could always just explain it by assuming that Finn broke something important when he was going at Ren.
>>
>>63709441
Based OT.

You know what, I could believe that she could fight with a stick, I mean she grew up on a shitty world where she probably had to beat people to death on a daily basis just to survive.

But what I can't accept is that she's the moment her connection to the force is revealed, she can suddenly preform Jedi mind tricks like a pro and out power Ren.

I mean Jesus-fuck Ren stopped a blaster bolt in mid air like it was nothing! But this bitch can some how over ride his force powers with no training.

So let me get this straight.

Shit Master Luke Skywalker makes a bunch of shitty schools and they ALL get fucked by Solo's son and not because he's gifted but because ALL the Jedi schools are actually even worse force users than him.

And then he meets the protagonist girl who beats him just becuase she knows the basics of stick combat. And he was tired, I guess.

I don't know what's worse. The idea that the new protag effortlessly becomes better at Jediing than the notorious Jedi killer or the thought that Kylo Ren is a terrible force user and he somehow wiped dozens of Jedi that actually held a lighsaber at some point of their lives.

>Huge self esteem issues, very worried about living up the image of vader

nigga what

He didn't beat Vader, Vader almost killed his ass and only got saved because Han drove him off

It took Luke training and 3 movies to take down Vader. Luke barely used the force in the first movie, the only time he really used it was at the very end to aim the torpedo

Its pretty fucking obvious they're gonna go with some sort of Jedi mind wipe thing for Rey to explain her powers. Its the first movie in a fucking trilogy. Kylo will possibly go deeper into the dark side to come back stronger. The main focus will be between the cousins. How does /tv/ not understand this?

Maybe they'll even do something where Rey was going dark side and luke had to wipe her because he didn't know what else to do. Could be cool.
