Look at the OT and even the prequels and tell me that the comedy element is the same as in TFA. The humor in the new movies is going to be set up to disrupt flow like in many big modern day movies. There's a place for that in other movies, but not in Star Wars

i doubt he was well trained with a lightsaber. in fact, he probably built the thing right before he slaughtered the other jedi luke was training. probbaly did not have much (if any) practice dueling
>>
The hasty pace from fight to catastrophe to fight, it was so crammed with events that there was absolutely no time for character development apart from Rey going through an implausible 24 hour Jedi crash course. But other than that everyone already posessed the entirety of his traits at the beginning of the movie.

Also the fact that the Republic was meant to be important even though it was only mentioned a handful of times and received about ten SECONDS of screen time before it was wiped out.

To properly fledge out the events during the movie it would've had to have a running time of at least three hours, if not more.

I thought Kylo Ren was really well done but thought Rey was boring and had no development. My wife and her son on the other hand thought Rey and BB8 were the most interesting characters and thought that her interracial relationship with Finn that was brewing was going to be the peak of her story.

The single biggest problem was definitely Rey being too powerful, I have absolutely no problem with a strong fem protag but they went overboard. Why even have any of the other characters when she can handle everything on her own, hand to hand combat, flying, lightsaber, escaping, etc... Even in the OT in V and VI Luke still got plenty of help a little less so on VI but he was no Jedi god the way they're making Rey to be.

But muh funny trash compactor reference!

The fact Fin is a fucking murderer.
"His existance proves that not all First order member are evil,
runs away after his first battle because killing is bad,

This is the biggest problem along with Mary Sue. Finn would've been a much more interesting character had he initially been hesitant to shoot anybody at all, but learned over time that he had to fight to defend the people he cared about.

>Marey Sue
I kind-of chock this one up to limited attention spans of modern audiences. They want to see cool jedi shit and don't want to have to wait another year and a half just to see Rey levitate a box or some shit. It's not as bad as the prequels in this regard, but that hardly excuses anything.
>Kylo Ren doesn't feel threatening
Kinda-yes, kinda-no. Darth Vader was threatening because he was a straightforward badass motherfucker who could wreck people's shit. Kylo Ren might be an angsty teenager with anger issues and daddy issues but he can still kill people fairly efficiently and that emotional instability only makes him more dangerous, not less. I think what will happen is that Rey and Kylo will both become more powerful as the trilogy goes on rather than what happened in the original trilogy where Luke had to try and power up to Vader's level while Vader stayed consistently powerful throughout all three movies.
>Kylo Ren is ugly af
He looks like an angsty teenager. He's space-wizard Zuko, so I think the look is suitable. If you want to jack off to a man's beautiful face be a fan of Supernatural.
>Shoehorned references to appease the "I'm such a geek lol" crowd
I found this kind of cheesy and distracting but its a relatively minor problem. That Han had never, in 30 years, used Chewie's boltcaster is weird and dumb, though. The point of a boltcaster is supposed to be that the recoil is too much for humans to use on a regular basis (think elephant-rifle tier) and that it actually shoots bolts of molten metal wrapped in blaster plasma via a railgun device. If he could fire it so easily why don't humans use boltcasters all the time if they are clearly superior to blasters? Don't fridge-logic a JJ Abrams project.

A galaxy contains over 100 million star systems on average. Most stars have planets, several of them in fact, many of which are gas giants with planet-sized moons. If you want to hide shit in space it is remarkably easy, even in a populated galaxy. Most of it is unoccupied.
>No JarJar
Clearly they're saving that reveal for the 2nd or 3rd movie in the new trilogy. They'll probably have to travel to his tomb to retrieve a MacGuffin of some kind only to find him, ancient and withered, wearing a black cloak. "You lookin' for meesa young jedi? I canna teaches you they ways of the Dark Side. Big maxi-powerful the Dark Side."

Not even close. At least Kylo had a bit of development and we'll further explore his character in the sequels, the villains in the prequels were cardboard cutouts that would get killed off before we could learn anything about them.

How about the fact that the film does NOTHING of interest or to push the envelope in any way. It seriously is the most boring movie I've ever seen .People gave a fuck about the original star wars because it was something they hadn't seen before. This was paint by numbers shit.

Then introduce some fucking character that's already trained in the Force (Luke or some other Luke's apprentice, for example)

I liked Rey's acting and character, but yeah she should've been way less overpowered. Had no problem with her being good with mechanics, both Anakin and Luke were, But learning the Force in one day, come on man...

Then, about Kylo Ren: He was a joke, a meme. There's a difference between presenting a character that grows, that becomes more powerful and evil every film, and presenting an angsty emo teen everyone laughs about (from scene 1 like Poe Dameron) and has anger attacks against control panels, that can't even beat TFA's Jar Jar: Finn.

Are you fucking kidding me? Dooku's duels against Anakin forgettable and his duel against Yoda was a fucking joke.
>>
Best possible outcome: Luke has decided that embracing the light was a mistake after seeing the dark destroy everything he'd built. He decides to train his daughter to embrace the dark side to build her already fast-growing powers even more.

Meanwhile, Ben has decided that embracing the dark was a mistake after his embarrassing defeat at the hands of a newbie and immense regret over killing his father. He decides to try to redeem himself by aiding the resistance from the shadows like the god damn batman.

>>64155314
Part of me hopes he's gone grey jedi, understands and respects the interplay and necessity of both the dark and the light, and that true balance in the force requires both. Grey jedi are philosophically the best Jedi, but they usually just sit on their asses and don't get involved, like Luke was doing in TFA.
>>
Some problems:

The plot for the first half of the film (and as described by the opening crawl) is; find Luke.
The film completely drops the main plot for the second half the film only to remember it for the last awkward 3 minutes.

The climax of the film involves two main stakes:

1)Stopping the death star firing
2)Stopping Kylo Ren

Both of these are meaningless and so lack any tension.

1)The death star has already fired and destroyed 5 planets including the capital of the republic, they won already? (like many things this isn't made clear either way. Will the destruction of destroy the new order? badly hurt it, a minor set back? This is even before we get to the fact that we never get the sense that Poe won't win, he never seems in peril and the death star gets destroyed with as much excitement as a drive to the shops.

2)Kylo Ren only seems to want to capture Ray, so again if she wins, she wins, if she loses she gets captured, which we have already seen, doesn't seem much of a challenge to her to escape. Also the fight takes place *after* the death star is destroyed, the main objective of the Resistance is complete, the film is over but we still have to watch it.

It feels too light hearted and like a more generic modern sci fi movie rather than a star wars movie.
I don't recognize the OT setting in it.

It's a good movie, 7/10, while the prequels are 5/10 and OT like 9/10.
The prequels at least seemed like they took place in a plausible star wars setting before the empire took over.

I think Kylo was mostly fine. The fight with him and Rey was fine as well.
Rey was too good at everything and too liked by everyone though. Her fighting and force capabilities was okay with me, but her speaking droid, wookie, handling the falcon better than Han Solo, and being instantly liked by Leia and Han(who is pretty cold to basically everyone he first meets) was a bit much.
Finns backstory didn't make sense for the awesome character Boyega portrayed.
Starkiller was too overpowered.
Maybe the First Order was a bit too nazilike, but I don't know, I think it might fit. Speech was a cool scene, but it didn't really fit.
Too many planets exploded. Through episode 1-6 only 1 planet exploded and now a whole system seemed to blow up. Like wtf.

Maz Kanata sucks.
>>
>>64155648
Watch the movie
>>
My biggest problem is that the shoehorned references and remake schtick seemed very contrived, like there was a natural direction for the plot to flow but JJ kept insisting on diverting it for no reason.

The map to Luke should have been the focus of this movie, but once Hux's speech starts, the entire map plotline is just forgotten until the last ten minutes of the movie. Considering that the opening crawl focuses on finding Luke, as does the entire movie until Takodana, the fact that this plotline doesn't lead into anything and just gets set aside is a really bad thing.

Overall, this movie has all the same writing problems as Metroid: Other M. Characters just forget they have the abilities they have when it's convenient to the plot, the search for Luke gets dropped like the "Deleter" subplot, the dialogue is too focused on lending the story a tone that doesn't really belong in this franchise, and the characters' motivations seem to shift on a dime, resulting in bizarre behavior with no explanation.

Youre literally retarded and looking for any little reason to hate on this movie just cuz its popular. Id totally agree with any complaints anyone had if they actually thought about and backed them up. The movie definitely has some issues, but the lightsaber duel is not one of them and its far from being a shit movie.

>The entirety of the lightsaber duel in the forest

This. Finn putting up a fight especially. You can at least hand wave Rey by saying she's ultra force sensitive and absorbed some of Kylo's skills during the mind meld. Kylo Ren struggling against Finn was just pants on head prequels level retarded.

Enjoyable flick though, 8/10

>and thought that her interracial relationship with Finn that was brewing was going to be the peak of her story.
Well, they're right. The first episode build up to it.

They rushed their relationship at the first part, because they won't see eachothers for sometime. It is also why Rey leaves Finn while he is in sleep and why she gives him a kiss for goodbye, so we can look back at to that moment when they finally meet again at the finale as enemies. Rey becomes Revan 2.0 and Finn trains to be Jedi. We already know he is force sensitive, because the intro at the village was his Awakening. You can see Kylo noticing it and remembering it when Finn flees with Poe, later remarking it to Snoke.

Episode IX ends with Rey and Finn battling it out as Finn comes to rescue Rey again. Its very romantic and touching story about friends becoming enemies, and more. Kylo was made to be mockable evil, because he is introduced only to hide the twist that Rey playes as the real villain. Its also why she is Mary Sue, so you can have a villain that is as formidable as Darth Vader.

I know Star Wars are shitty, but this teen drama is really fucking dumb. You have the daughter-with-father-issues. New-kid-on-the-block-is-not-like-the-others. And the angry-confused-nerd-wants-to-be-cool. Wheres the Smuggler? Wheres the Princess? Wheres the Young King of Camelot? You don't get those. This is teen drama.

I know that was bait and your post is bait but I still feel the need to point out that Lucas has been a soulless businessman for over 20 years. You would have to be a nostalgic retard to not see that the prequels are just as corporate as anything Disney has made.

Using "hell" in Star Wars makes no sense.

Having the Republic restored but Leia running a teeny terrorist cell makes no sense

Storm Troopers being stolen at birth instead of conscripted makes no sense

Ren not losing a body part like Luke makes no sense

>gets in a bar fight because he doesn't know to handle himself, saved by Obi-Wan

But it's all okay because we got to see him grow, listening to Obi-Wan's advice, saving the group by contacting 3PO in the garbage shoot, and eventually destroying the Death Star with a little bit of assistance from Han, who himself had developed throughout the movie.

Rey starts off as an ace pilot, master fighter, and requiring no help from anyone. She ends the movie an ace pilot, master fighter, and requiring no help from any one. She displays no negative character traits either. She's always altruistic, positive, and helpful at all times.
>>
>>64156456
>found the black guy interesting
Name one thing.
>>
>>64156162
But you don't get to heap writer's advantages on one character and then shit on a different one like that.

Rey's "strength" isn't even legitimate because what people mean by "strength" in a writing sense is good development, DEPTH of character, not simply unabated asskicking.

Just because Phasma is on the bad guy side doesn't mean she can't be a strong character. But she gets no screen time and doesn't get to do much of anything except serve as false development for Finn in the way of him bossing her around.
>>

Fin was vulnerable guy just trying to make his way in the universe. He tried to do the right thing but had to look out for his own interests as well. He fought hard to protect his friend Rey. He also is a good actor and conveyed emotions well with his big quivering sweaty lips.
>>
>>64155124
I'm not suggesting he be that. I am just saying that they should have ended the fight in a draw with the whole earthquake thing that happened before she could kick his ass. Would give her a better lead up, and allow him to keep his dignity and be taken seriously in future episodes.
>>
>>64156926
I honestly thought Fin was a great character. Flawed and dynamic, unlike Rey.
>>
>>64156866
He's jar jar done right
>>
>>64156859
Its because Rey doesn't have the necessity time to grow up. Her hate for her father will turn her against Jedi code and join the Sith, which will have to take place in the other 2 movies.

The flaw of Mary Sues is their moral dilemma. Even Superman is interesting only when he is hitler.
>>
>>64157022
He still could've been better, though. They shouldn't have made him so willing to fight back against the First Order right off the bat. They could have developed some more moral conflict in him instead of having him whoop and holler over murdering the only people he's known his entire life.
>>
>>64156737

Of course not. Do you think Kylo cares? He worships Vader as muh dark sode husbando even though he turned good at the end. You're just baiting aren't you
>>
>>64155412
Hardly. More like, an afterthought, a waste of time, filler, nonsense in comparison to the real villain.

That would have been really cool, but I don't mind it the way it is now, either. He comes off as someone who's always been a coward, and now we get to see him grow into a hero.

>Fin was vulnerable guy just trying to make his way in the universe.
Supposed "storm trooper" with plot armor as thick as his tan. Merely taking off the mask flew him up from cannon fodder, to immortal comic act. Theres no urgency to anything he does and every danger he faces is played as comedy. Be it doors saving him from tentacles or superiors going down the trash chute.

>He tried to do the right thing but had to look out for his own interests as well.
Doing the right thing is not hard when there is no moral dilemma nor selfless sacrifice to be made. Even the nazis carry no attachment to him. There is more emotion in TR-8R putting down his guns to face him in CQC, than there is ever in Finn. Everything he does rings hollow.

>He fought hard to protect his friend Rey.
The main character recognized another main character.

>He also is a good actor and conveyed emotions well with his big quivering sweaty lips.
Can't blame the actor when the writing is shit.
>>
>>64156859
You are aware that Rey has spent her life living alone on a harsh desert planet, right? It makes perfect sense that she would be self-sufficient.

On Jakku, yeah. The scene where she beats up the goons as Finn tries to aid her, and then ends up pursuing and taking down Finn was a cool moment. However, weaknesses and inexperiences should have shown the minute she was removed from her element.

However no training girly can pull a saber from this powerhouse of a sith

>>64157789

But he was specifically instructed and witnessed how to do it.

Rey literally learned how to force pull, resist mind rape, read others mind, force manipulate all by herself without even seeing or being shown you could do those things. AND beats a trained Sith in combat. AND she's going to be trained by Luke to become even more OP. She's basically a fucking anime character. Like some garbage from Dragonball Z.

She's completely flawless and perfect at everything she attempts.

One Jedi being another Jedi isn't exactly exaggerated world-shrinking. It lended new character to Obi-Wan's conversation with Luke in the original movie (and Obi-Wan's later "It's true from a certain point of view" is a mildly amusing line), but it's not mind-blowing. It only added some thematic concision.

Leia being Luke's sister, on the other hand, was quite stupid.

Kylo stopped a pulse rifle, read minds, sensed a force user light years away.

I figured Kylo is a kid with a fuckton of power and doesn't know what to do with it, maybe he felt restricted or something.

Anakin was similar lots of power but had decent ways to channel it with a war.
