I have to admit he was actually decent
>>
>>63810675
I agree. I surprisingly liked him too, more so actually than Rey.

He'd look good if he lost a few pounds.
>>
/tv/ memes aside, I did too.
>>
He was good in Attack the Block as well, I don't know why anyone's surprised.

His face looks weird :/

Holy shit why are you even here with your positive bullshit? I'm not even meme'ing here. You're so fucking obnoxious with your reddit tier comments.
>>
>>63810675
I was a little anxious to be honest, as he was only in one other movie before all this. I'm glad he turned out all right, a much better character than Rey. If only the whole movie was him and Poe having bro adventures it would have been pretty fucking fun.
>>
>>63810735
>le wacky quips man
What do you mean by this? I haven't watched it yet btw. Is he over the top wacky in it?
>>
Didn't like any of the characters. Kike Kike Abrams must've hired shit writers this time around because they even butchered Threepio of all fucking characters- and he didn't even have many lines compared to the OT. How the fuck do you manage that.

Yeah he was good.

I like how /tv/ has come around to Finn but dislikes little Miss. Mary Sue.

Before the movie, everyone hated him. I recall quite a bit of memes and use of the word, nigger. You know what I think? I think once /tv/ saw that he was comedic relief, a janitor and a character that got cucked when he was sliced up and put into a coma by a lightsaber, they took pity on him.

Say what you will, but I'm still not buying a Finn action figure.

I liked him pretty quickly. He's such a flawed character but still pretty courageous when push comes to shove.

The fact that this cowardly bastard even attempted to fight Ren, a high ranking officer in the organization that has been brow beating him his entire life was awesome, it's like he was running on pure adrenaline.
>>
Finn, Poe, Han, BB-8, and Luke were fucking awesome

The rest can go to hell though.
>>
Boyega was a good choice from day 1, he'd already proved himself pretty well with Attack the Block a few years ago. Everyone was just going crazy over political-correctness bullshit as usual. I honestly feel bad for actors these days, I don't think anyone's really paying attention to their performances at all. Even the professional critics just use them as pawns for race and gender politics.

She saw what was possible with the force when mind melded with Kylo maybe

He was also the most relateable to anyone
>inb4 De-evolution racist monkey jokes

>>63810859
Of course I'd like the character with no potential dialogue to fuck up.

But honestly I like that I was able to sense the droid's personality like R2. The writers didn't fuck that up for sure. I might buy into consumerism (pun intended) and get the toy of that cute little fucking guy for Christmas.
>>
>>63811029
what do you mean han was awesome? he was as washed up as a beached whale, its just as well he got killed off - chewie is getting killed off in episode 8 or 9 im calling it now

Fuck you, Kylo Ren was good. Better than Poe, even.

I really liked him. I was kinda sad that after the break out there wasn't much interaction between him and Poe. They were bro as fuck. Probably will be more of them too working together in the sequel while Rhey is off training with Luke
>>
>>63811103
Everyone's favorite character so far has to be Kylo, just by the material given.

In terms of likeability and general character:

Id say I like Poe better than Kylo, but Kylo is definitely the most developed/developing character
>>
>>63811103
But he was so ugly
>>
>>63810675
Is it bad that I wished there was an extended love scene between him and Rey just to trigger all the white folk in the theater?

Also I'm mixed so pls no cuck labeling thanks
>>
What the fuck were they thinking with the pacing of that final act?

I'm sure 99% of the audience immediately forgot about Han's death as soon as they walked out of the theater. Like, I enjoy subtlety in my movies but the way they handled the aftermath of his death was pants on head.

Don't give me that shit, it's retarded even from a narrative standpoint. Just one more passing mention or farewell to him would've been enough, and I've honestly never even liked Solo's character.

>>63810675
I'm just glad his character was consistent instead of suddenly becoming a hero and beating Kylo or something.
>>
>>63810949
Yeah, that sudden violin screech as he comes into frame was an odd choice.

What's the overarching narrative of this trilogy so far? Like the OT was pretty much "Luke must confront Darth Vader" and the PT was pretty much "Anakin turns to the dark side" but what do we have here? So far desu this movie's seeming kind of standalone.

find Luke

Save Kylo from the dark side.

Is this a joke? He was the worst actor in the movie. Not the worst character, mind you, maybe that's where everyone is getting confused. But easily the worst actor.

Kylo really would have worked better if they had shown Rey go through some kind of force training. It could have been a comment on the jedi vs darkside. The darkside offers instant power and gratification but it is unfocused and basically just rage, while the jedi is disciplined, crafty etc. I think the final fight was a big blunder in that Rey just bullshits her way to victory by going super saiyan, it was way more thrilling when she was on the defensive and fighting defensivly because shes an amatuer.

That would be Leia. The fucking camera jumping around every five seconds when she was as on screen just goes to show.

he woulda been better Jedi than Rey. Fin was balanced character wise, being a courageous amateur. Rey was "IM A GIRL I CAN DO ANYTHING WATCH".

Not too mention that he had great chemistry with literally everyone. He and Rey are cool, he and Poe were bros, he and Han had some good back and forth, Chewie and him have a good scene and hell the funniest part of the movie involves him and BB-8. He even has a solid basis for a rivalry with Kylo and Phasma

From the movie alone you could tell he was a janitor at first on Starkiller and then transitioned to a combat role where his first mission was slaughtering seemingly innocent people.

Pay attention kiddo

I thought he was fine, not great. Well, here's the thing, he is the star of the biggest movie released ever. They knew what kind of a movie they were making, the budget, and how it would do. For such a role, you demand the best actor. Not a good actor, but the best. He is not the best, he is good, sure, but not Star Wars worthy.

>>63810692
He's actually pretty lean, he just has a potato body type.

It was very distinctive when he was in the storm trooper outfit at the beginning of the movie. It was easy to tell it was him because he has absurdly wide hips for a man and thick thighs that were visible even with the costume.

Usually, this body type isn't cast for anything other than offcolor weird characters, not action characters.

its overrated because its undeserving acceptance. People who have no fucking and haven't ever sat through the movie tell me Empire is better. It's the common opinion, even though when you ask people who know the 3 originals well and have recently watched them again, they will always say equal or that new hope is better.

Saying overrated is a quick way of saying exactly what I just did.
>>
>>63811455
Not that anon but that's exactly what I liked about him. He's not the big badass super important bad guy, he's a useless, brainwashed kid that thinks he's hot shit, and is kept around because of the sentimental value he has for the leader of the opposition.
And he really, really looks the part.

>>63812735
You explained it better than I could. Well said.

I absolutely agree with you on this one, ANH is an amazing movie that gets overshadowed by ESB. I hate that Empire is considered to be the best Star Wars movie with no consideration towards ANH. ANH did what it did really fucking well, while ESB's spiritual, dark tone was a bit wonky.
>>
>>63813201
I still think Empire is great but I feel like ANH is under appreciated just because it doesn't look as good.

And I have sat through all of them and think Empire is better. So, clearly not always (nor do any of my friends think this, but whatever, mine is just as anecdotal as yours).

It is the common opinion, but all you say by using "underrated" is that you think you are right (completely subjectively) and because the opinion is so widespread, it's easy to find examples where uniformed people agree with the common idea.

Which you use to bolster your own ideas (by saying "look at those uniformed normies, ha!") without realizing that the more common idea isn't only held by the uniformed.

He was terrible just like the rest of the cast you easily impressed teen
>>
>>63813201
>>63813530
I think that's mostly due to the impact Empire had and still has. ANH is great, but at its core it's a typical hero story that's been told time and time again. And it works. But Empire was something different, and it's still not something you see in most movies. It ended on a dark, somber note, and the reveal of Vader's identity is still mindblowing. The emotional impact it has is beyond comparison to the style in which ANH was filmed. That's why it's oft parroted as the best of the OT.

I took part in the calling him a monkey/nigger back when the teaser trailer first came out.

But he wasn't even the main character and was actually a great part of this movie and it was hilarious how clumsy he was.

He had heart and soul and damn it was good.

The way I see it is that in ep4 'use the force' means to let go and use your instincts, that's how Luke was able to evade Vader and get the shot at the Death Star.

He was generic stoic strong silent guy #423425 in Attack the Block. He was the least interesting thing about that movie. What about that performance made him great? That he didn't suddenly start throwing pies? All he had to do was be quiet and brooding. Impressive.

Maybe he's good and maybe he ain't, but citing that movie as an example one way the other is stupid.

Problem is that ROTJ was like a rollercoaster of quality. It had fucking Ewoks and Luke vs Darth in the same movie, so it's really hard to rate. It's obviously better than the prequels, but it could easily be argued to be the weakest of the 3 original movies.

Dat Luke vs Vader scene is still fucking god tier tho

She knows the legend of Luke, and it's established that she can fight early on in the film. I'm assuming that she's probably known about her force sensitivity since she was little. You also sort of have to make plausibility leaps in these movies; I mean how likely is it that Darth Vader happened to build the droids sent to Tatooine by his daughter which happened to be found by his lost son?

Feels good. As a kid I used to like ROTJ the most because I fucking loved the Battle of Endor (ie the space battle) and Luke and Vader's duel, but on a rewatch it has real pacing issues and is kinda ropey. A New Hope is still a classic that stands on its own.

I have to admit he felt REALLY out of place here.

>why are you doing this?
says the brown man to the black man in the middle of a shit ton of white people
>because it's the right thing to do
not
>because I want out
implying the black man and the brown man are the only good people in a sea of evil white men

/pol/ is retarded but their heart is in the right place. The white man must reclaim his birthright.

Episode VIII needs to have Poe and Finn as the main characters, their bromance was really well done.

Rey can fuck right off training with Luke.

>>63815702
Definitely, this 100%

I'd watch an entire trilogy featuring him and his female ex-boss instead of Rey an not-Jaycen

The buddy cop scene at the beginning with Finn and Poe busting out of the Star Destroyer was one of the best scenes of the film.

Making Poe the designated pilot really fucks things up. This should be the classic "two men and an important woman" trio goin' on here. Finn and Poe broing it up, getting into mischief, while Rey finds out her destiny, becomes strong in the force, etc. Fairly straightforward, yet definitely enjoyable.

Instead we get Han fucking things up and Poe flying around in some who cares scenes.
>>
>>63815985
Well I don't know if you noticed, but Han isn't going to be a major thing in the films following this. Poe, Ren and Finn are the main characters.
>>
>>63816165
One can hope, but after blue-ballin' the audience with Luke in the first film, I wouldn't be surprised if he has as much screentime in the second film as Han did in the first film.

The character writing was shit and the story had forced romance as expected.

Unless they explain in Episode 8 what connection Finn had to the Bloody Stormtrooper on the Jakku First Assault then his entire character development was a clusterfuck, especially since he goes from "not wanting to kill" to "kill my former brothers for white pussy." Its bullshit, however Boyega did his job fine. Him and Isaac had great chemistry.

>Unless they explain in Episode 8 what connection Finn had to the Bloody Stormtrooper on the Jakku First Assault then his entire character development was a clusterfuck
He already explained it. He KNOWS what the First Order does to traitors. He wanted to run far away. He isn't a pacifist, he is just scared shit-less and not wanting to die. That's why he told everyone else to run too. He kills because he needed to escape.
>>
So who is the true main character of this trilogy, Mary Sue or Dindu Nuffin? Also do you think Nuffin is going to become a Jedi? Since he doesn't know his family I like to hope that he's the grandson of Mace Windu and will learn how to use the force in IX.

He couldn't pilot. He had to get someone else to fly the TIE fighter.

Are you retarded? Poe's VERY NEXT line is "Because you need a pilot?", to which Finn responds "Because I need a pilot."

Finn does this quite a few times; he likes to pretend he has better motives than he does.

>>63818358

>I don't understand what a deuteragonist is

>>63810675
I still think he should develop the Force. Damn, only Rey get to do the cool stuff. Maybe Leia could train him? It seems like she developed the Force, since she sensed Han's death. I hope they give him more to do in the next flick. Anyway, I'm excited to see what's coming.

>Finn does this quite a few times; he likes to pretend he has better motives than he does.
Rescuing Rey was his true beginning as a hero. Up to that point he was lying his way to escape from his former comrades.

I watched the unedited OT for the first time last night, and I have to agree with this. Almost every good scene in ESB was in Cloud City. Yoda was le funny puppet man. The forced romance and lame kiddy jokes felt like they belonged in the prequel trilogy. I also felt like a lot more time was dedicated to Hoth than was necessary, since nothing plot-important happened there and the fight scene sort of dragged on. The pacing in general was pretty awkward. You can really tell that it's where SW started being a kid's franchise.
Cloud City was really great, with Lando and Vader being particularly good, but Hoth was only okay and the astroid/swamp were both underwhelming. ANH was pretty consistently good, even though it didn't have the same stand-out scenes as were in ESB.

He was honestly shit.

Felt like i was watching some black kid acting like an american nigger from the ghetto.

Which he did lol, he forgot he is a trained stomtrooper.
>>
best character in the movie (owing mostly to the fact that he isn't a direct analog of someone from the original film)
>>
Here is what should have happened in the first scene:

>Phasma: For many of you this will be you first time on the field, but remember your training and you will be able to bring glory to the First Order

THERE, a better way to show why Finn suddenly defects instead of suddenly inserting it near the climax

Fucking seriously. He's supposed to be trained all his life in a military organization whose primary principle is discipline and order. You don't even take off your fucking helmet unless you're expressly ordered to do so. He should have been stern, serious, and disciplined. Instead he turned into Turk from Scrubs.

Like I said in the other thread, he ended up being my favorite character in the movie. Hes a pretty funny dude

>>63814164
WUT?
That wasn't his character at all in Attack the Block AT ALL! Did you even watch the movie? In attack the Block the plot twist is that he is just a 15year old goofy orphan. He only pretends to be tough and older. He is some kid who plays with pokemon cars and sleeps with a fucking nightlight.

Rey had more plot armor than James fucking Bond! And impossibility perhaps but fuck me Jay Jay pulled it off being the fuck all hack that he is.

And I could give a fuck about her character because I am so bored with her AS a A HERO ON THE HERO'S JOURNEY. How can we as an audience identify with her as the novice in this new exciting world that has to, over several films (or so we hoped) come into her own. But not Mary Sue Rey though, she was an expert on all things whenever she touched or tried anything.

She's too perfect, too perfect. And because of that there's no growth, there's no potential, there's no where to invest our emotional attachment so that we could cry when she fails and rejoice when she succeeds. there's just this impenetrable Mary Sue who can do no wrong and is an expert ON EVERYTHING SHE DOES, right out the gate. It's like Liam Nesson in Taken 3 times 2 maybe even x3, she's that Over Powered! jay jay fucked her up, badly. i suspect behind her fuck up is the mouse wanting a powerful princess to add to their rooster of powerful princess. Disney's not known for trilogies for in every film their princess becomes super powered or Mary Sue within that one film and they wanted Rey super powered her first time out.

except the go all hyperdrive Mary Rey Sue.
there is no tension around her character.
she always wins.
at the beginning it's kind of fun, because it makes her survival on Jakku plausible, but later, when she kicks ass of a trained force user, no matter how badly hurt, then it turns into a joke.

i really do hope they will do Raven plot twist in the next movie, to make that shit believable.

>Revan Plot twist

It'll be more likely that shes some super duper stronger than and sheev and anakin combined force user but the Revan twist would be rad. All the shit with her as a kid being a red herring, turns out she was recently dumped on Jakku. desu my biggest problem is that they could've given her explanations for her abilities pretty easily.

>Give her a weapon similar to a saber instead of the staff, even if it's just a rod, show she has some martial arts knowledge that could transfer into saber combat.

>Show her tinkering on the falcon before she steals it, show that she has prior knowledge on how starships work and atleast an idea on how to fly one.

>Show her having an ability jew the junk dealers around Jakku. Getting a better deal than she deserves, basically showing that she has untrained, latent mind trick abilities (it's unreliable as fuck though, which explains why she's still poor)

>Show her doing weird, unexplained shit with the force. She accidentally fucks up shit in her house with the force. She accidentally force pulls some food or something she wants and is accused of being a thief.

Luke was struggling with his powers 'til the very last scene in ROTJ. There was literally no fight scene which he won without tension and the audience not actually giving a fuck whether he could win it. And that's 3 movies in.
Rey just came and was already a fucking master at everything she got her hands on.
Her writing just pisses on the whole OT's arc of Luke becoming a Jedi Master through great discipline, training, and struggle both mentally and physically.
