it was literally there just to say "Hey, This ain't your grandpas Star Wars! Women can defend themselves now, I mean c'mon, it's 2015!"
As if Leia wasn't doing anything herself despite. The "Princess" part was just pointless when she was neck deep in the same shit as her Rebel peers.

>it was literally there just to say "Hey, This ain't your grandpas Star Wars! Women can defend themselves now, I mean c'mon, it's 2015!"
If anything I think it's the opposite, because it shows some weakness for Rey. She can beat people up with a stick, but she has no idea how to use a gun. Which makes sense.
It's Han's line that makes no sense. Sure, she can handle herself, yes it's a good idea to give her your spare weapon as a last resort, but chances are she'll get wrecked in a gunfight.
>>63878490
>>63878507
If the filmmakers are smart, then they'll have her exhibit some weakness/encounter some adversity in the next movies.
I know everything is about muh equality nowadays but you don't need to achieve that in a story by making your hero/heroine some completely precious demigod. That's just demographic appeasement in lieu of a compelling story.
>>63878490
In her life time weren't jedis like a myth? How is she so skilled with a lightsaber & force persuasion?
>>63878515
>nobody noticed something that is not there
wow, unexpected
>>63878666
Why wouldn't a woman know more about how to drive than a man, shitlord?
>>63878490
>I think I can finger myself
Can't believe she said that.
>>63879375
It's not about she knows more about piloting. It's that she knows more than a captain about piloting a ship that has been his for a long time
>>63878738
That's because you are retarded and don't understand anything.
She refuses a gun, a classic phallic symbol of the patryarchy given to her by a man, because she doesn't need her. She is empowered by her own strenght and knowledge.
You are too stupid to understand anything unless it's explained to you by the movie, try bringing some critical thinking sometimes.
>>63879491
Jesus Christ, this is bait right?
>>63878490
I haven't seen the movie, wasn't planning to, but certain factors are conspiring to make me see it. Is she terrible? I mean, does she spend the entire movie spouting feminist memes?
>>63879541
yeah but it's pretty good
without the misspellings you would think it's real. He had to leave them in so we know it's satire.
>>63879547
No, she does not
>>63879547
Not really but Boyga keeps trying to handhold-rape her and she keeps yelling at him "Stop taking my hand, shitlord".
She literally showed zero emotion throughout the movie.
Why is her teeth and complexion so perfect after living so many years on a desert planet selling junk and eating trash?
>>63879491
Sorry. For a moment I thought she had a weakness that made her an interesting character. Little did I know it was secretly a strength, proving her to be the most three-dimensional, strongest character of our generation.
>>63879541
Your just afraid of strongk women, shitlord.
>>63879547
She isn't bad but she is definitely a mary sue. I liked her before she started using the force.
Being able to fight and a really good engineer is okay.
When they made her the force incarnate in literally hours was really offputting. I can't see how anyone can defend it.
>>63879597
I'm new to the board and still figuring out the shitposting here
>>63878490
Han's response to that was fucking perfect though, because it also illustrates that Rey's major flaw is that she's independent to a fault and needs to learn some new skills to survive outside of the context that she's used to (scavenging on a desert world)
>>63879547
No, but her character is the boring, do-anything action girl we've seen a million times before. Frankly, YAshit like Katniss from the Hunger Games has more nuance than Rey.
I was surprised because Boyega doesn't come across as diversity bait in the movie, just another dude.
>Han doesn't care when he sees Rey
>breaks down when he sees Kylo
What a douchebag uncle
>>63878564
No, but he knows that she can learn and will be able to handle herself in a firefight without freezing
>>63879616
No joke, the perfect white teeth were a major point of breaking suspension of disbelief for me.
>>63879547
It's not a feminist thing, just a Mary Sue thing. She starts out solid enough, so it's a shame.
>>63879627
Interesting female charcaters are for the patriarchy. No way a woman should ever be shown with faults or weakness.
>>63879616
Have you ever seen a dog?

That's true. And again, it makes sense, "Have this as a last resort."
What would have been neat was if Han or Finn trained her on the Millennium Falcon. Ideally Finn, since he's an ex-Stormtrooper and there was a line about him only knowing blasters earlier. Just some basic target practice, she's not great but she's learning.
>>63879678

Always beats everyone, always has a solution, always finds a way out.
The only time she gets into trouble is when she is kidnapped by kylo ren, but then Defeats him using her never before used force powers and escapes all on her own.

I wear a dehumanizing mask and pray to Darth Vader every night so I can rid myself of positive feelings and become a true piece of shit.

I have skills that help me survive in that context of being a scavenger, but need to learn new ones to achieve my full potential in the larger galaxy, but have difficulty leaving behind what I'm used to in order to move forward.
>>63880530
>independent to a fault
This is like something you list as your "flaw" in a job interview, like being too nice or never knowing when to stop working.
>need to learn new ones
You mean like Jedi mind control or how to wield a lightsaber? Oh wait.
>>63878666
I thought the point of that interaction was that Han hadn't even seen the Falcon in like two decades. Him finishing Rey's sentences was supposed to show how he still remembers everything, he just needs a few reminders at first. I still don't like Rey's hypercompetence, but I thought it was a charming scene for Han.
>>63878490
Was there even a single kiss in this movie?
>>63878582

It isn't until she's forced to make use of her Force abilities to save her own life that she accepts it though.
>>63880692
Rey kissed Dindu Nuffin on the foreskinhead
>>63880527
I think it's partly progressivism and partly the fact that modern action movies can't go 5 minutes without some kind of genre-savvy ribbing.
We knew it would be that sort of movie from Poe's quip to Ren in the opening scene.
>>63880527
Feminism, gays, multiculturalism, socialism, and a political corruption and lobbying epidemic.
>people saying that Hans line makes no sense.
Y'all realize that he wasn't agreeing with her right? He's saying "Yea I know you /think/ you can handle yourself, but you can't. So here's a blaster."
>>63881338
Him saying "I know you can handle yourself, that's why I'm giving you this", is a pandering line. How can she handle herself with a stick vs laser guns?

It's hilarious because it's so hamfisted, and yet so quaint. I could see this having been "progressive" in the 60's or something. But now it just comes off as patronizing. The exact opposite it's trying to be.
It felt so much more natural with Leia.
Which old hag redhead actress will be her mom?
Says the girl who had to learn to fight using a stick because she was tired of getting her rations stolen, if not raped also.
>>63883075
implying luke marrying a redhead is canon

Why is it demographic appeasement when women do it?
Male protagonists that do no wrong is still a thing and has been around since film itself.

>>63883288
Not to mention that the Starkiller base has some similarities to the Star Force from KOTOR.
>>63879610
She had very good reasons for that, the handholding prevents her from moving her upper-body to counterbalance sharp turns and they're running, and also forces her to run very close to his side which raises the risk of her tripping over his feet or running into each other.
Both of them function a lot more effectively when he lets her do what she needs to do.
So how will Luke explain to his daughter on why he dumped her in another Tatooine?
>>63883443
"It happened to me, and my father, it had to happen to you too."
>>63883428
>Not to mention that the Starkiller base has some similarities to the Star Force from KOTOR.
like what?
Starkiller base in just a bigger Death Star.
The Star Forge in KOTOR cant destroy planet, it can make armies under minutes and itself is hardly breachable with very heavy defense.
As in you couldnt destroy/defeat it with simple shit like they did against Death Star or Starkiller base.

It couldnt stop 8 or how many X-Wings and 3 Humans + a wookie.
vs
The whole Republic fleet was about to be destroyed if Revan doesnt stop it from the inside.
They were able to get in like 2 ships, 3 at best and thats with people requiring to sacrifice themselves.
So, it's blatantly fucking obvious Rey is a Skywalker. Is she Leia's kid, or Luke's kid? They very overtly telegraphed her being Han/Leia's daughter, but then didn't reveal it, which makes me think it was a false flag, but there's no way she isn't a Skywalker.
>>63879616
How could she have such nice teeth with that british accent? That's what threw me off

If she were related to Han and Leia they wouldn't throw her in Jakku and Han would go full daddy on her just like he did with Kylo
JUST
KNOW
>>63878744
She will have a weakness for BBC, I'd guess.
You realize the real problem with all of this is that they have effectively written themselves into a corner?
Of the three interesting protagonists established in the first film, one is dead, another one is in a coma (which means he'll be out of action for at least part of the second film) and one is basically Wedge Antilles (so in other words little screen time by design). So now we're down to old Luke and an empty husk of a main character for the sequel.

>>63887587
Would have been nice if they showed us this.

It's cause Han didn't know how to fix it.

That's what I'm getting at. There will have to a whole story arc now in the second film involving him both waking up from his coma and recovering from his wounds.
>>63886765
Which one is dead?
