He loses all his fights, but at least I actually gave a shit about them. Rey was near flawless in anything she tried.

I need some nerd guidance over here. Is it okay for Finn to be able to wield a lightsaber? Dont you need to, like, have the force in you or something, otherwise you wouldnt be able to wield it properly?

Not like he did anything useful with it but still, this bothers me.
>>
>>63766642

Nah you can use it. You just won't be any good with it without force guidance.
>>
>>63766642
I'm pretty sure any faggot can hold a lightsaber, it's just the force-sensitive ones who are actually competent with them.
>>
>>63766333
and he'll never use that lightsaber again, because by the time episode 8 rolls around -Rey- will be all "you can;t use it because you're not force sensitive" all the while I'll just be in the audience going "bitch you'd be fucking dead if he didn't use that fucking thing"

The "everyman" is really fucking great for Finn, mean while I have zero fucking investment with Rey simply because now I'll have it in my head "of course she's gonna kick ass, she's the jedi" like, it wasn't enough she's Han 2.0 now she's --The Jedi-- of the cast
>>
>>63766642
No you can use Light Sabers without being force sensitive

You just won't be very good with them

After all Han used one in Empire
>>

Does anyone else think that Finn having worked in "sanitation" was a reference to Clerks?

>Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main?
>>
>>63766864
never thought of that
>>
>>63766504
Well, Rey was shoehorned in just for being a powerful female. Could probably say the same about Phasma, what an irrelevant fucking character.
>>
>>63766642
Anyone can wield one. Although it takes hocus pocus force magic to make sure you aren't unwieldy enough to accidentally cut your own limbs off with the weapon that can cut through steel doors and droids like a hot knife through butter.
>>
>>63766271
Because he's relatable, interesting, flawed but likable. We want to see him grow and accomplish things.

Rey was too perfect. I was totally prepared for a cool, female Star Wars lead. But they went overboard and made her amazing at everything. Boring as fuck. There's no feeling of me wanting to see her accomplish things, earn them, because she's already done everything perfectly.
>>
>>63766642
The fact that Finn ended up face down in the snow with a big ole slash to the back shows that while you can wield one, you can't do it with any kind of success, keep in mind Ren did all that witha big ole hole in his gut thanks to Chewbacca
>>
>>63766864
It was just a setup for that stupid callback to the trash compactor scene.

We can only pray for a 3D Animated spinoff series like the Clone Wars for that shit. They should probably replace the standalone Solo flick with a Poe/Finn/Phasma/BB8 storyline. I'd pay for that.

They're pawns m8. He knows he has to kill them, I'm sure he doesn't like it. But they're soldiers, not civilians like the First Order was slaughtering.
>>
>>63767819
Then why is he different? only they are pawns and he isnt? He was raised with them he should at least know a bunch of guys that are not evil, like him. At least some fellow janitor friends or something like that.
>>
>>63767909
No idea on that one. I did think it was funny, every scene with Stormtroopers being killed all over the place - "What if THAT one was a good guy who was gonna save the galaxy?"

But at least I can buy "he's the only Strormtrooper that has mixed feelings" over "Rey becomes super Jedi number 1 overnight"

So we can all agree "Rey" is a blatant fucking Mary Sue piece of shit?
>>
>>63766271

Might not be popular based on what I've seen so far on /tv/, but I really felt that Adam Driver as Kylo was the best acted character. His spasms of rage whenever things didn't go properly felt like the Dark Side. His nuanced emotions throughout mixing fear and anger and some sort of need for acceptance were strong.

He'll obviously build more of his arc in VIII and IX, but he's definitely got my attention for now. But yes Finn was awesome.

Am I the only one predicting Finn and Poe will be the first openly gay couple in Star Wars?

His character was shit. We're expected to believe that someone who was kidnapped from his parents and trained as a soldier is relaxed, trusting, joking around, good with people. A guy who at the start of the film holds his fellow storm trooper in his arms, shocked that he's dead, yet has no problem killing tens of them later while letting our one-liners. A character with the most hamfisted 'bromance' in the history of films, I knew Abrahams is heavyhanded and doesn't like to develop his character but jesus christ you can't make your characters act as if they had known each others for years when in reality it was minutes they've interracted

Rey was even shittier, yes. Poe wasn't even a character, "yo Oscar you're a pilot dude with a bit of Solo in you, have fun". I blame shitty directing, I know he can act but his character was first grade acting school tier

Kylo Ren was the only character who was believable and well written. /tv/ hates him because 'muh vader' though, if anything you should hate how bland Snoke was

I really disliked the movie, it felt like it was made for woman and niggers. But that 10 seconds made it worth it.
Every time Han Solo was on screen i saw Harrison Ford so it didnt really feel like SW. But that shot was of Luke Skywalker, it wasnt Mark Hamill. And seeing him as a Jedi Master gave me some closure.

What a lazy fucking excuse for a main character. No emotions, perfect at everything on the first try, and literally just here for muh equality.

Going into it I was starting to think hey, maybe a female lead would be cool. But na, we just get this shit show to make a few little girls feel good about themselves.

Lets not even mention Phasma.
>>
>>63768050
yep

I was walking out of the theater saying, "There wasn't a SINGLE SECOND that you didn't think she was actually going to fail"

And the fucking ending could have been a full 10 seconds shorter. That was fucking obnoxious. Turn around, lower the hood, BANANA NA NA NANANANA credits roll. No fucking 10 seconds of panning

It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, but that doesn't mean it was any good. There was far, far too much screen time for call-backs and OMG DONTCHA REMEMBER THIS GUY?! AND THIS?!

Rey is a survivor from destruction of the new Jedi that Luke was training, hence why she somehow knows how to Mind Trick, Force Pull, etc. She was being trained at a very young age until she was taken to Jakku (Luke drops her off) lest she be slaughtered like the rest

If there had been more Finn backstory and Rey not so overpowered this could have been a solid 8/10.

We needed to see why Finn changed so quickly. Just having his friend die at the beginning was not enough.

Just stop. Why do you want to talk retarded "politics" in this movie. Fuck you
Your opinion isn't correct

Well, yeah. He has no screentime.

I actually think its a good thing that they got them all in the first movie so that the next movie can focus entirely on new shit.

Yea he's a great character. Can't wait to see him hook up with the white chick in the sequels.

I really wanted to see Finn's captain's face. She sounded sexy. I was dissapointed they didnt took her helmet off.

Could you physically hold a lightsaber and swing it? Are you force sensitive?

You just wouldn't be able to jump 20 feet in the air, or predict your enemy's movements.

Able to spot Finn out of all the people and just so happens to be a ST he knows.

THEY WERE ALL SHIT TIER

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE REVIEWS TOO
THEY ALL PLAY OFF LIKE EVERYTHING IS BAD ABOUT IT AND THEN END WITH "OH WELL, STAR WARS 5 OUTTA 5"

>>63769995
At least Leia made sense in ANH. She was a 'stronk' female character because she had already had a lot of experience as a ruler and had been trained in combat etc.

I do realize Rey was also strong from years on Jakku and learning how to survive. But use of the force to empower her so quickly was a joke. It almost felt like forced feminist propaganda to me. 'Women can do what men can do better' kinda thing.

>>63770131
They probably told the troops about his betrayal and said don't do the same or you're dead

This. First movie has to tread two paths. Appeals to nostalgia dads and a new audience without alienating both. He HAD to play it safe for the sake of both parties. Otherwise dads won't be buying those cool new toys for their kids.
>>
>>63768732
>Going into it I was starting to think hey, maybe a female lead would be cool.
I don't understand. What about a female lead is cool to you?
>>
>>63766504
yeah blame it on /pol/ you were the only ones talking about him ruining the movie.
>>
>>63770241

They can be qts.
>>
>>63768436
Nah it's not for nogs. Finn is practically beta, and is a massive fuck-up.
Rei shows him up at every turn. I don't think the average nog would like that.
>>
>>63767990
Lol, u mad.
>>
>that thumbs up to BB-8
>that return
>>
>>63766504
/pol/ wasn't wrong. Obviously JJ picked a black actor for a reason.
>>
Unfortunately Disney doesn't care how good a character if his toys aren't selling. I imagine him taking a secondary role for the rest of the trilogy much like Jar Jar did.
>>
So if Kylo will turn to the Light Side and Snoke is an old, crippled faggot, who will fight Ray in the third movie?

This, I know the Empire is supposed to parallel Nazis, but I think the whole Nazi-like angle was overplayed.

They mentioned it but you had to pick it up yourself

I thought BB8 was annoying as fuck and the battles were all show and no real emotional investment to the characters.

Mary sue Rey was garbage.

But they fucking weren't. Boyega was a terrible actor in this movie. It's a good character, but the actor was shit.

Ford pulled off a fucking amazing performance, Ridley did decently but her character was REALLY poorly written and has almost 0 growth, and Boyega has a really well written character (except the part where he gives 0 shits about killing tons of the people he was raised with like 5 minutes after refusing to kill some random villagers) but a bad actor.

And once again JJ "I don't know what a quiet moment is" fails at pacing through the whole movie. Too much action.

Way better than the prequels. Still not as good as the original.

New Hope > Empire >>>>>>>> Return >>>>>>>>>>> Awakens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Revenge >>>>>>>>>>>> Phantom >> Clones

Poe was the best character tho

Fin is actually a clone.

I guarantee it.

>ship battles were excellent

I was kind of sad there were only X-wings. Not even a fucking mon cal cruiser. No A-wings. Nothing new. Kinda dumb. The whole republic fleet is a few x-wings now?

My autism was not satisfied

Rey must be one of the worst character from all Star Wars. If Finn would have been the Jedi it would have been a better bet than that mary sue.

Very strange someone that grew up with the prequels and has capeshit sensibilities is complaining about jj and too much action
>>
>>63770500
The worst art was all the explosions and noise and no quiet moments. The quiet moments make a film just as much as the explosions.

>cloning niggers
why?
>>
>>63769216
There was something about the force she recognizes, so maybe she was like a very very young youngling with Luke
>>
>>63770594
They mentioned clones and 'fin's' actual name is a serial number.

He's gonna be the Rey of starwars
>>
>>63770583
It's above the prequels because it does have mostly well written characters and overall the plot / writing is fine (except "deathstar 3 because we have no ideas!"). The aliens and settings were also all fine, no cutesy shit, and the cgi wasn't jarring as hell like in the prequels.

>/tv/ hates him because 'muh vader' though

But that's literally the point of his character. He's not Vader but he wants to be.
>>
>>63770526

If she become popular you can bet she is going to return for the next 2 movies.
>>
>>63769880
I dunt get it

Once again the child of the prequels shows his capeshit sensibility.

He's saying Rei is going to get fucked with a big black dick.
>>
>>63767596
Poe isn't white..
>>
>>63767025
>>63769216
This.
Also, you have to remember something, Luke had character growth as a person in each of the movies.
In 4, he went from a scared little farm boy who just wanted to be left out of things to a brave man who accepts the responsibility of things much bigger than him. In 5, he goes from an arrogant impatient kid to someone that realizes he's not the top shit, and that he needs to practice.
In 6, which had the least development since it was mostly about his developed character, it still went from calm and cool to someone who has still had his weaknesses exposed, and on reflection, realizes that he's still following the path of his father.

In 7 we have "tough, super smart, agile girl with tons of force potential (though doesn't have any power yet) and knows she needs to use her abilities to protect others in harms way"... to the same fucking thing at the end of it.
>>
>>63767484
>Ron
You mean he'll never get to do anything important, will be constantly have whatever he accomplishes overlooked and will be surrounded by improbably amazing people?

I liked Ron. Rowling didn't.
>>
>>63770641

So basically you're retarded and can't comprehend anything. They specifically say that the troops are not clones and Finn mentions he was taken from his family at a young age.
>>
>>63769163
I was 10 in 1999 and I actually like Episode1.

Good luck with your X-wings republic faggots should have kept an A-wing around ;-)
>>
>>63770691
Eh, basically.
But it's a joke really. She's already too much of a developed character. JJ was desperate for his "strong independent female lead" so badly that he forgot that a main character needs to have some fucking personality growth, not grow before the movie fucking happens.
>>
>>63767301

No, it won´t she is already really good with the force, while Finn is the underdog, Finn get friendzoned and Rey ended up kind of losing, (it was a tie) a very important fight.

Ep 8 will be about Rey actually learning about what to be one with the force and re learning all her powers ( actually i really think she is going to lose her jedi powers somehow), and we are going to see Finn becoming a more brave and stronger character, they probably will traing together and then love will bloom in the battlefield or some shit, i´m sure it will be like Return of the jedi, combined with The Attack of the clones, somehow.
>>
>>63770578

Yeah, me too.
I was all like "Hey they're targeting a huge stationary complex on the ground, where the hell are the Y-wings?"
>>
>>63770901
They could have taken him before he knew his name, dum dum.
>>
>>63770815
this. this was the thing that most bothered me about the movie.

that and the dark side being absolutely incompetent meaning there was nothing for light side to overcome.

im hoping they will set it up so that bitch boy Kylo Ren gets a similar depth of character development as luke in OT.
>>
>>63770901

He's black, their names some times get so confusing that even they can't remember.

Like I said, they literally say they're not clones, you stupid fuck.
>>
>>63770776
I already did. I fucked her silly.
>>
Rey is gonna get BLACKED isn't she?
>>
>>63766504
/pol/ was wrong, /r9k/ was right.

That fucking roastie nearly ruined the movie.
>>
He's just...there
>>
>>63770087

Thankfully Star Wars has actually given us more good videogames than bad.

Seriously, go down the line. We have a LOT of really good videogames from SW.
>>
>>63770994
But they were both bad for different reasons.
Boyega had a really well written character but was a poor actor.
Ridley was a decent (not great, but decent) actor but a HORRIBLE written character, like prequel levels of bad.

Fucking Anakin in Clones wasn't as mary sue as Rey is here, which is sad.
>>
>>63770919

Honestly, I want Poe to fuck Rey.
I already feel the shipping crawling in my skin.
>>
>>63768353

>So, what do you think is going to happen to her?, is she going to become a bigger and more powerfull enemy wht each movie? or she is going to have a redemtion arch and find that love was inside her all this time, just like that Alien vs Predator ending, and help finn in ep 9 to defeat the big bad and rescue Rey and all that shit?.

But according to /tv/ thats what give "THE FEELS" and is considered as awesome character writing, design and development, /tv/ can´t be wrong, i mean /tv/ know about what they talk about, right?
>>
Begging your pardon, but doesn't the general state not 15 minutes into the movie that the not storm troopers are clones? And then like a goddamn hour later he claims he was stolen from his parents? So did they clone memories too or some shit?
>>
Finn was great, I loved his hapless "trying to be a cool guy" thing.
