Is this the most comfy scene in the Star Wars series?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUKGTkiWik
This is what TFA lacked.
This scene spliced with Yoda flipping around with little green lightsaber from episode 3 in Plinkett review gets me every time.
>>64243980
god Luke is such an INSUFFERABLE Mary Sue in this scene not like Reyrey TFA 4 evar :D
>>64243980
That's pretty much the basis for my entire religious philosophy.
>>64243980
>This is what TFA and the prequels lacked
SW will never be comfy like this anymore
JDIMSA
>>64243980
damn they did a good job on the blu-ray picture restoration for this scene
>>64243980
The faggots that thought TFA was "fucking epic 10/10 bro" don't know that Star Wars never used to be hectic action movies.
The twin sunsetin ROTSwas comfy as fuck
basically anything with The Force Theme in it is a GOAT scene
>>64244412
Yeah, whenever I do a rewatch, I always use the blurays even though I own the first run DVDs without all the song changes in ROTJ. The picture quality is worth having to skip a scene here and there.
>>64244321
that is how i look feel and think whenever i see a hot chick in yoga pants/leggings when at a cafe
The comfiest scene is when Luke and Yoda are in his little hut while it's raining outside.
The Dagobah scenes are the best ones in all of the movies.
No other Star Wars fiction seems to get the force right like they did with the Dagobah scenes.

Midichlorians ruined the quote.
>>64244836
Midi-Chlorians =/= The Force
Why is this hard to understand?
>>64244938
The whole point of the Force was that it wasn't connected to the physical world. Needing some physical thing to use it ruined it.
>>64245037
Well something they really fucked up when talking about midichlorians is that they neglected to mention that they are more present in powerful force users because they are attracted to them like flies to honey.
Comfiest scene is when they're meeting for the first time in Yoda's little hut, it's raining outside and he's making some stew or something

Feels bad desu
I've been away from 4chan for a few weeks.
What is the general consensus on TFA on /tv/?
Personally I thought it was pretty shit. It had it moments but they mostly included Han and Chewbacca.
>>64245037
Literally anything is better than "not connected to the physical world." Kill yourself you religious schizo mysticism nutjob. Go read your horoscope for tomorrow.
>>64244689
It's kind of shitty how he never acts like this in the prequels. He isn't goofy or grouchy
Also Obi-wan never acts "restless" except one time

>>64244689
>I'm not afraid
>You will be
There is nothing (NOTHING) in TFA, nor will there be anything in the 46 sequels, that convey this kind of foreboding and apprehension.
You can't say "Star Wars is for kids, you can't criticise it!" when ANH and Empire were executed better than TFA in everyway.
>>64245242
It wasn't shit. Just mediocre.
>>64245217
I feel so much seething jealousy toward third worlders who don't know that Luke is VAder's son, and what Yoda looks like, or anything about Star Wars before they see it via cultural osmosis
>>64244498
Are you implying Empire isn't the most action packed of the OT or that TFA had no quiet moments? Because both are wrong, so maybe you're expressing something else.
>>64245526
Yeah, I don't know about that. To me it's shit just by the fact that it's basically ANH all over again, and not a proper sequel.
And that's only the beginning of all that's bad about this movie.
>>64245706
I agree with you.
But it's a 4/10 IMO and that puts it in the realms of mediocrity for me. Instead of flat out shit.
>>64245831
That is roughly how I would rate it too, I guess.
>>64245706
I guess Terminator 2 and Aliens aren't proper sequels either.
>>64245831
I gave it a 6/10
It was an enjoyable summer blockbuster and atleast it doesnt take a gigantic shit on the OT lore like the prequels did
>>64245155
>Episode 8
>"The Force surrounds us, Rey. It was thought to come from midichlorians. A common misconception"
>>64245186
literally reddit: the reddit
>>64245924
I actually never liked Terminator for that exact reason.
As for Alien - it's a different type of movie. The entire series has basically always been about a group of people somewhere in space trying to survive an encouter with the alien.
Star Wars isn't like that, it has a gigantic universe, you have no excuse for creating a "sequel" that basically retells the story from one of the previous movies and takes all characters back to the start of their development.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUKGTkiWik
This scene makes me tear up for some reason. I think that was my main problem with the prequel trilogy, it doesn't have moments like this, where a simple ship being lifted out of a pond is magical. Instead it's got the protagonists chucking fuel containers across gigantic hangars and shit like that.
Also, even though the new film is incredible, you just know that instead of Luke giving up, Rey would close her eyes for 20 seconds, look determined and do it herself. Which fucking sucks.
>>64245924
There are massive, deliberate tonal differences between Terminator and Terminator 2 and Alien and Aliens. The originals are horror movies. The sequels are thriller/action movies. Alien especially. The first Alien movie has lots of subtext about birth, infancy, motherly attachment. The second is an allegory of the Vietnam war. The protagonists in both series change hugely between films.
JJ and Disney did absolutely everything to emulate ANH in anyway they could.
>>64243980
The new movie makes this scene silly, you don't need to train to use the force.
>>64244321
That puppet looks great, i still don't understand how anyone can like that CGI shit over this.
>>64243980
Let's be real this is what every Star Wars media lacked after the OT.
>>64246282
T2 and Aliens are "basically the same as" their original movies. My point, in the context of the post I relied to, is that having damn near the same plot and scenes doesn't automatically make something not a true sequel.
>>64246338
>Force
Top kek, you don't even have to be force sensitive to be able to land hits on "the jedi killer", the guy that slaughtered Luke's new jedi with his buddies and was trained by Luke himself and Snoke.
>>64245687
>implying Empire is the most action packed Star Wars
Dog, Revenge of the Sith clearly has the most action. TFA might even top it in terms of action in the movie vs length of the movie. But none of the action has been as deep or meaningful as it was in Empire Strikes Back.
The OT is just as shit as the Prequels.
Star Wars has always been a cheap fantasy fairy tale set in space without much thought put into it. Kotor 2 showed what was possible within the setting if you introduced a more complex perspective than shining white knights beating evil black knights and saving the day and getting the princess, but ofc you manchildren can't handle that.
>>64244141
post it
>>64246656
i know this is bait but is Kotor 2 actually any good? I played the first Kotor a few years ago and it was fun, and I bought the second but never played it. Is it worth sitting through?

>>64245687
There are massive gaps in action in Empire.
TFA desperately needed more moments of calm and reflection. The pacing is a mess.
>>64245261
He's younger in the prequels, he's going scenile by the sequels.
>>64246781
It's halfway through the prequel tier trash and the EU tier garbage
Also the game was published in a not complete state so you have to install multiple mods for the cut content
Anyways if you liked KOTOR you will like this one too

>>64246602
You read into what I said, I was very specific asshole.
>>64246466
Automatically? No. In the case of SW? It pretty much does.
As I said, SW offers a HUGE universe. It has always been divided into episodes and trilogies that tell different stories. You had OT that told one story, and then prequels that told another story. It really doesn't make sens for the Disney movies to be telling the story of OT once again with new characters. Especially with such laughable execution.
>>64246656
Honestly this. Star wars has always been shit.
>shit acting
>shit story
>shit dialogue
>shit special effects
It may have been revolutionary in its time, but doesn't hold up well now. The music is great though, I'll give it well, and the universe is well realized, just told poorly.
>>64246808
There's a whole thread about how KOTOR II is the best version of star wars, the OT is actually gray, and the prequels are where the black and white come from. You know, because shitposting is at an all time high right now.
>>64246963
Your post perfectly explains why Rey doesn't need to do 20 mind tricks a day to use it or why jedi don't need to practice their lightsaber sparring to stay good. Yoda teaches philosophy and focus, not technical skill.

He's the guy who betrayed Luke and slaughtered all the Jedi with his buddies. He stops lasers with force powers and reads minds. He's also the apprentice of the new ominous dark side master and was previously trained by Luke himself.

Why is this crude little muppet 100 times more believable than that talking orange in TFA?
>>64247327
>she had a lot of experience with melee weapons
>lightsaber is literally just melee weapon with a gimmick (blade doesn't weight anything, but then again - normal blades usually are very light)
>Kylo at this point has been fighting for some time, is emotionally shaken, has 2 major wounds (Rey adds two more after her "awakening")
>(The) Force Awakens (tm) in her during this fight, so concept of the Force as a power that guide you, that flow through you is making comeback, no more midichlorians and power levels bullshit
Also
>Kylo spent last few years scaring people with his saber and force tricks, acting all smug behind the mask even though he's still lightweight-tier, and a little bit o a bitch with huge emotional problems
>Suddenly Rey display strong connection with the force and can challenge him
The sole thought of that must've been like an additional wound to Ren, making him panic even further.
Kylo Ren is the kind of guy who is all smug and is doing pretty great provided nothing would complicate his plans. The moment the game changes and he's in even minor disadvantage he lose his shit and start dropping spaghetti all over the floor in every possible way.

>>64246466
those movies had a bit of creativity to them and didn't rely on just imagery to sell a ticket bcause they had more than that. that's why they're, you know, the best movies of all time.
>>64247575
You're acting like she's good with the lightsaber anon. So there's two different skill levels we have to talk about with Rey, pre and post focusing. Before she's trying to use it like her staff, she does Sheev stabs and is generally ineffective. It's not like you have to be a jedi master to block another lightsaber and even Luke (and I guess Anakin, fuck that movie) show jedi reflexes without real training. The most Luke gets before he blows up the deathstar and blocks droid lasers is Obi-Wan basically telling him it'll work if you let it. She's losing at this point in the fight anyway.
I'm guessing you take issue with her beating Kylo and being stronger than him when they've holding each others hands (aww). This is when she quiets herself and trusts in the force. The force partially controls you so I'm fine with this. She's choosing to let the force guide her, the force beats Kylo more than she does.
I think you're making Kylo Ren out to be Vader tier and he's very clearly not. You'll notice he's really good at controlling the force when he's in control of his emotions. Normally, a dark side user is stronger by using their emotions. Well I put forth Kylo Ren isn't really full on dark side yet. Kylo stops a blaster bolt in mid-air, when he's running that successful operation. He can read Poe's when he's been worn down by torture. He grabs an officer by the throat across the room, someone that's subordinate and scared of him.
However when Kylo is emotional his force don't not work so goodly no more. When he's scared of Rey he can't read her mind. When he's dealing with killing his dad he doesn't stop Chewie's shot at him. On top of that Kylo is shot and bleeding more than any other wound we've seen in Star Wars since Obi-Wan chopped off that arm in the cantina. There's this theme with Kylo that he wants to be dark side but isn't and he knows it. He's a poser. He doesn't find strength in his emotions because his conscience doesn't let him.
>>64247853
Well Lucas didn't write those lines... he didn't direct the scenes either
Just contrast this scene from the fight scene between Yoda and Palpatine from RotS. Two guys jumping around a giant senate chamber, screaming, and chucking dozens of pods, spinning said pods, and throwing lightning everywhere is nowhere near as memorable as a puppet levitating the ship. Sweet Jesus.

I think Yoda is more liked because a) he's old, so 4chan contrarians give him a pass because anything new must be shit
and b) because older films were slower paced, and Yoda's personality and scenes are all slow and deliberate, whereas Maz was dunked in the middle of a rollercoaster paced film and didn't really have anything to do
>>64245217

I know Terminator 1 and 2 are the same movie but the characters are so different between the two movies and there were new themes other than fate.

>>64245217
i think most people find out the vader secret before they even see the old trilogy nowadays. it's such a thing embedded in pop culture, I knew Vader was Luke's father, and the way he was going to say it before I ever saw Empire Strikes Back

Rey and Kylo have yet to power-up to their full potential.
Kylo took a bowcaster shot and had to fight-off a raging negroid immediately after.
Kylo left to get trained by Snoke; and Rey is going to get trained by Luke Skywalker. They'll have a real battle in the next movie at their full potential.
I know Disney Wars is shit; I just felt like playing Devil's advocate.
Except there was, with testicle-faced CGI lady. There was even a 'cave of trials' in a way Nostalgic faggot keep scrubbing for reason to hate new things like usual

uhhh...Kylo was clearly shown having internal conflict about killing Han.
After he actually did it, he might have not been in his highest state of focus; and then he immediately gets shot by the same bowcaster gun that sent handfuls of stormtroopers flying like ragdolls. He tanked it pretty well, all things considered.

tl;dr
>>64246241
100% agreed. It's hard to describe but there's something intangible that makes sequences like this 'magical'. The closest TFA got were the opening scenes with Rey where it actually slowed down, but very quickly it went back to ludicrous speed and left little time to explore anything in depth or to create any kind of atmosphere.
>>64247759
This. There's room to breathe in Empire. We get the time to anticipate Yoda. Obi Wan sets up the character before we meet him.
In TFA, and this is a recurring problem in the movie, we are given important information literally a couple of seconds before it becomes important. It's shit story telling. We get a "by the way, this is Maz, she's important" introduction from Han right before we meet her. "We've got one!" is delivered by Rey seconds before they pilot the Falcon because the plot poorly dictates it. Snoke's introduction is jarring as fuck for the same reason. I'm struggling to think of a single setup and payoff that's done well in TFA.
>>64247853
Lucas has always been an ideas guy. He didn't want to be the one to direct or even write the prequels. His broad strokes ideas have always been good.
>>64249371
>Snoke's introduction is jarring as fuck
One of the few bits I genuinely liked in the movie.
what did he mean by this?
>>64249276
The one part I almost teared up in was the shot of Chewbacca alone in the cockpit when he came to rescue Rey and Finn.
I felt nothing when Han died but that was the saddest sight ever

>>64249424
This desu.
It's mostly Gary Kurtz that made everything great. Lucas had a great vision, a wonderful creativity and is a big thinker. He just needs someone to finetune his ideas in a coherent story. You can see the shift change between Episode 4 and 5, compared to 6. You can attribute that to Kurtz falling out with Lucas
Then you have Lawrence Karsden who co-wrote the screenplays for episodes 4-7 and wasn't involved in the prequels to finetune (ie clean up the mess) for Lucas either
That's why 4 and 5 are objectively superior to 6, which has its moments but gets caught up in a bog at times, and 1 2 3 which are Lucas basically having total control as both writer and director effectively going too far in a few places
It like the OT but I also really like the prequels
I honestly don't get the hate, the atmosphere is so superior to the OT it isnt close
i actually think anakin is much more interesting than luke.
obiwan is great
its just the MUH PLINKETT reviews that literally overanalyse everything and aren't even right on most points
TFA is so boring compared to the originals because of Rey. if you made rey anakin/luke the movie is interesting and at the top, but we don't get that and therefore IMO it is the worst one (6/10) tied with attack of the clones
anyone else agree?
>>64249786
No
>>64249620
when was that 1925? probably overdue for a kid already.
>>64249680
I feel the reason TFA doesn't completely fall apart despite its flaws is also thanks to Kasdan's involvement. He must have kept the worst of JJ's idiocy and mystery box nonsense in check.

>>64249827
I think people underplay Abrams' skill. He's a poor writer in that he can conceive and film individual scenes or beats that are very good but can't tie these together meaningfully or coherently. This is probably due to his complete lack of individual vision. TFA has both the very best and very worst of Abrams.
