The baton doesn't even counter the lightsaber, it just works well enough for it to function as a very heavy lightsaber so he could Finn fight on somewhat even ground, with the winner being determined by skill and fighting spirit

>The TRAITOR stormtrooper has more character depth than half of the cast of TFA

Maybe it's because we're projecting onto him, but he seems like he's pretty pissed and knows Finn. Like he totally vouched for this garbage boy and put up with Phasma's craving for BBC just to keep the unit together, and then Finn fucks it up, and she blames TR-8R and makes him carry the big stick.

THEN THEY GET THE CALL THIS FUCKER'S BEEN SPOTTED

IT'S REVENGE TIME BB

Phasma of course doesn't go because she is not interesting but TR-8R needs blood vengeance.

WILL HE GET IT IN EPISODE 8?
>>
>>63905244
>rekt
Not really. Nothing even happened to her. She was in 3 scenes. At least Boba Fett looked cool and said memorable shit.

Also your argument kind of falls apart when the main character is a woman.
>>
>>63904884
It was an object other than a light saber that could come into contact with a light saber and not be cleanly sliced or melted.

Therefore it was specifically made to counter light sabers.
>>
>>63905426
doesnt seem any more effective than a lightsaber, swings slower, and doesn't even stab through Finn

it's like a guy with a baseball bat taking on a guy with a claymore
>>
Who was even the actor for TR-8R
>>
>>63905426
It doesn't give the Trooper an advantage though, it just basically acts as a slower and less deadly lightsaber
>>
>>63905360
>Not really. Nothing even happened to her. She was in 3 scenes
Phasma was used to deactivate the shields, after getting beat up by Finn.

>Also your argument kind of falls apart when the main character is a woman.

Not really, as Rey is strong with the force. They cannot be evenly compared. But spinningtropper was just a normal guy, living his everyday life, and rekting shit out of traitors.
>>
>>63905354

Think about it, phasma doesn't know about honor or loyalty, since she's a woman.

TR8R is loyal, misogynist, faceless, likes serving the Space Nazis, and won't hesitate to put a whoopin on an uppity disloyal nigger. He is full /pol/ incarnate, not Kyle Ren. He actually gets shit done.
>>
>>63905467
You seem to be missing the part about how lightsabers cut through basically everything, effortlessly, except other lightsabers and that guy's baton.

Meaning it was designed as a hard-counter to light sabers.
>>
>>63905496
The fact it had it's own inertia behind every blow gave it a huge advantage over a light saber.
>>
>>63905512
What if the weapon was created by Snoke in case he needed to control Kylo? What if TR-8R is Snoke's most trusted agent who goes on missions with Kylo in case he needs to put him down?

would've made a lot more sense for this fight to have been between boyega and the silver storm trooper commander lady, since it had already been established she knew who he was instead of just some random storm trooper who apparently recognized him at the traitor. could've just ended with them getting separated instead of the trooper getting killed.

or better yet, let her get killed and then come up with a better way for them to take the shields down since that was weak as fuck. I would think a heavily conditioned commander like that would have the mindset to die for her organization rather than help the rebels destroy her whole base (probably with her on it anyway). even another generic R2D2 hack would've made more sense
>>

If TR-8R knows he's a traitor, he definitely knows he doesn't know shit about how to use a lightsaber because I doubt they teach that.
Basically it was an "honor killing" and if I was training my nazi soldiers I would tell them traiters should never recieve honor.

The only argument is they were in close quarters, and that only shows that Storm troopers are more confident in melee than with blasters. Which sounds ludicrous

Talking of stormtroopers, who was the guy at the start that put a bloody hand on Finn's helmet?

There's an issue of reach there. If the trooper has to get within arm's length, and the saber user can stand well outside it, then the energized arms would be of no use.

This stormtrooper could have been any other random child Finn himself could have trained with. Yet they played out in two completely different ways. Do you make it out to be a nature vs nurture debate, even with the obvious minor factors that would just happen with random chance? I mean I'm not just buying into the meme when I say this scene had a lot of emotion. A faceless stormtrooper saw right to stand up and took it upon himself to punish a former ally for betraying everything he believed in. He didn't run away, he didn't call for backup. In that stormtroopers mind he was serving justice, and he was doing it in an honorable way. Yet he gets cheated out of his work, his entire belief that he was forged in was shattered when he was gunned down.

I feel deep, honest empathy for that trooper. Even if you argue that the people who used him were wrong, you can't deny him his conviction. And that's why I think so many people respect him.
>>
>>63908131
We've been over this. It was destroyed because it held the energy of a sun and then they blew up that shit so it could no longer contain it. If they had destroyed it when there was no energy in there, they would've not blown up the entire planet.

Because it's cool to see a random trooper put up such a fight. If not for Han getting in the way of things, this faceless extra would've killed a main character after overpowering him despite not having a lightsaber himself.

Well, he either knows what a lightsaber is, or he doesn't. If he doesn't know what a lightsaber is, he might just think it's similar to his weapon, and he has a sense of fair play, or he wants the visceral thrill of beating down a traitor with a club. If he does know what a lightsaber is, then he probably knows that people who use them usually can deflect blaster bolts with them, or even shoot you back with your own bolts, and maybe he knows the energy part of his weapon can block a lightsaber, so probably figures it's his best chance. It would make more sense for him to discard the shield. Or maybe his blaster was out of power ?

Imagine a whole squad of these guys charging Rey in the next movie. Stormtroopers are a real threat now, I think that's why everyone likes TRAITOR so much, it was the "oh shit" moment that shows the Empire learned from their mistakes and became a more calculating enemy.

>"Tom Cruise showed up on the set one day, just out of the blue. I mean literally, he came down in his personal gyrocopter. He put it into automatic landing mode and jumped out 1000 feet in the air in a bright orange wingsuit. At this point the entire crew had stopped what they were doing and were just watching Tom Cruise do wingsuit tricks around his descending gyrocopter. Once he finally landed 5 minutes later he strolled right up to the director's chair and vigorously pumped JJ's hand up and down, up and down for 20 straight seconds. He was gesturing really wildly and had a glazed look in his eye, you could tell he came here because he just loved Star Wars. I don't really know how exactly the exchange went but Tom eventually leaped into the air and shouted "YES" while pumping his arm, like a shot a sitcom would end on. Then he bounded off to the costume trailer, knocking over a couple interns on the way.

>Now here comes the really crazy part. Tom didn't need to rehearse anything, and he even brought a 'prop' of his own to the set. That was the electronic baton that appears in the final movie. Turns out that was actually a gift from the Church of Scientology, it's used in an elaborate ritual to enhance your thetan level. At least that's what Tom said while he was practicing with it. JJ only had to give him a couple lines of direction: 'You're angry at this traitor' and 'Make sure you lose in the end". Then he just went at it with John Boyega, who had at that point had already had some stunt combat training. But Tom didn't need any. The final scene is done in one take, but there were some parts when John got hit too hard and needed to stop that were edited out. He was exhausted at the end, he had to take a five minute breather. But Tom was already planning out the next 5 scenes he wanted to do, and he wrecked a good part of the set twirling the other stunt weapons around that he wanted to use. Of course he paid for it all afterwards."

The shield likely would have actually been detrimental if it lacked the properties of the baton. Specifically, if he had it on, he may have tried using it to block a lightsaber, which would have more likely than not ended with him losing an arm. So in that case, he ditched what would slow him down or be detrimental, which happened to be his shield. As for the blaster, who knows? Maybe he just wanted to kill a traitor with his own two hands.
>>
>>63904798
But WHY was he so equipped? Lightsabers are so rare that finding Luke's was a huge deal and there are no active Jedi.

finn was the first pussy to abandon his brothers and kill lots of them. then entire order was both furious and upset at him for doing so, had never happened before. this guy probably lost some people he knew or even cared for when Finn pulled that stunt back with Poe.

This was all given to us by how he simply said Traitor. Think about that.

Random mooks being awesome is always entertaining. And Stormtroopers have always been the real face of the Star Wars franchise. It's the appeal of anonymity really. They could be anyone under the helmet.

>>63918982
I love how she was used in the movie. Basically just stands around looking impressive, until she's needed to advance the plot. Then she gets thrown in the trash.

I hope she made it out of there, just so she can keep coming back in each subsequent film, and keep getting punked, again and again.

Ren is a dark Jedi. He likely trained certain troopers in melee fighting in case they ever had to fight a Jedi.
