there has been a black token in each star wars movie(except 4 I think) the only reason people are pissed over this so called "token" is because he is one of the main characters instead of being a background or secondary character.

Nah son, JJ abrams hired him entirely because he was a nigger, and he did it in secret from disney. Then announced it to the press so that disney could not override him.

He also hired him in secret like that because he knew he was shooting the financials in the foot with his move. SW is all about merchandise, and nigger finn is not selling for shit, just as everyone knew he would not sell.

How many people have to say it's mediocre before they're no longer "contrarian"?

It didn't matter how good or bad TFA was on release, fanboys who saw it in the first week were always going to celebrate it as THE BESTEST MOVIE EVER! Which is exactly what happened.

Now more rational, objective people are seeing it and a lot of them are completely underwhelmed.

Because Star wars The Force Awakens is glaringly bad and it pisses me the fuck off when idiot arsed dick suckers praise it as the second coming of 1977 and A new Hope when it's anything but.

GOERGE LUCAS SHOWED WORLDS....J.J. doesn't even try to build a world. And all of his shots are too close in and narrow. ON the big screen it all felt trapped and compartmentalized. In the Prequels all Establishing SHOTS WERE FUCKING EPICALLY HUGE! and don't get me started about the bigger badder and equally as flawed, death star. or how mary sue rey could out force use a guy who frooze a blaster bolt, and a pilot and could do force interrogate. this movie was bad, really fucking bad, and the girl power Disney Power Princess of might who believes in herself and the inner power of her femininity, could get fucked along with Jar Jar and the Rat.

there's a movie out called hardware. saw it twenty plus years ago and in it there's a heroine done right.

another Heroine done right, was the Oracle from the Matrix series. the Oracle was literally the Architect of all the events in the Trilogy. she, like a great Chess player manoeuvred everyone into place.

Of course the white cis scum who was the builder and maker of all things, The Architect, saw through her game and called it a dangerous one. But like a seasoned aged Mum, the Oracle smiled at her old Husband and said, "Change always is."

A true and real heroine and one who didn't know if her plan would find fruition but believed and hoped it would. That's a heroine.

And sadly the Matrix series is one of those flukes moderately competent film-makers or great ones are sometimes capable of when the stars align in just the right, but sadly, it's almost always a perfect shot but once in their career. George Lucas, Steven Spielberg with Close Encounters (Yes he had more success but nothing as epic as close encounters. Sadly, close encounters was eclipsed by Star Wars), David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and a few others.

J.J. and walt the rat disney, need not apply.

>>
>>64352889
it was to sell tiaras and toys to tens of millions of girls who wouldn't have been a fan of star wars otherwise. it was to sell shit and rides and more shit and even more rides, and even more inconsequential shit. Disney knew that their merchandise would make them way more than they gave Lucas and as ftty said, "straight to the bank with this, Ha Ho Ha Hawww!"

Mary Sue Rey, a glaring Dues Ex Machina who is all powerful for no reason, a sloppy done mix match of what could be called an imation, and a shitty one at that, of the Rebels and the Empire, and the huger yet infinitely uninspired and pathetically executed sub plot, the bigger and better yet just as fucking flawed, death star.

everyone's looking for Luke, Rey can fly the Falcon in a dog fight through the innards of a ship, and the x wing run on the super death star.
it's like Jar Jar and the Rat along with Marshall wanted to tick all the shit that happened in the OT, X wing run on death star, check, death star, check, obi wan versus vader? Yes we got that, we got Mary Sue Rey, a feminine icon and a natural with the force because much like girls in the army, there's no actual effort actually necessary for anything.

and this shit is telling young girls that so long as they believe in themselves, they could accomplish wonders; no work, no sacrifice, no pain for gains, just believe in yourself and the hidden power of your magical tiara disney princess of power.

and yet Luke was a cocky kid who trained with Yoda for a spell and believed in himself and was desperate to save his friends from the vision Yoda saw, and Vader politely shoved his naive shit right up in his gut for him.

That's true now probably, but wasn't there a huge influx of Mary Sue posts, and also a huge influx of TFA fanboys claiming Luke Skywalker was one also (when TFA first came out)? Which then turned into people posting all of Luke Skywalker's flaws and showing Rey had none? Which then turned into TFA fanboys coming up with theories about Rey?

I personally just feel like the board is always battling two sides of an opinion. Whichever side is truly 'Reddit' is up to those who visit Reddit and see what their hivemind opinions are.

This review makes at most three good points before throwing the rest away while pandering to bitter idiots in what can at best be a pyhrric victory.

And I decided to comment on it, that's what's wrong with the age we live in - attention is finite and trash like this seeks to hook that valuable resource.

I never said it was a review, anon.

I said it was clickbait. And it was clickbait. It was clickbait the same way as this is clickbait.

The only difference is breitbart disagrees with your personal politics, while huffpo agrees. What this boils down to is you trying to create an echo chamber where only things that conform to your personal politics is acceptable. It has nothing to do with "clickbait."

There's a place that's already an echo chamber that will agree with how you feel. It's called reddit. Hence, go back to reddit.

Everything is clickbait, everything is meant to capture attention. I want to say part of me very much appreciates Breitbart for stirring the pot, because I am sick of the left as much as the right, which is why I find it frustrating when good points are thrown after bad because it makes it easy for people to lump them together and discuss them as a whole.

As a movie, it was mediocre. No worse no better than your everyday Ironman or Spiderman movie. So yep, mediocre.

As a Star Wars movie, it was shit, because even when it copied the whole plot from ANH and had the characters and actors from the originals, it almost didn't feel like Star Wars at all.

Stormtroopers being swagtroopers, the villain being meme'd, the different pace, the teen nazi empire, etc. all those things are not bad per se but just feel awkward and annoying in a Star Wars movie.

Why do they need to search for Luke?
Why did Kylo turn to the Dark Side?
Why did the First Order come up?
Why is the Resistance sepperate from the Republic?
Why is Leia not with the Republic if she was Princess of the Rebellion?
Why did Luke exile himself instead of killing Kylo when he turned to the Dark Side?
Why does the orange imp have Anakin's lightsaber?
Why do they go see the orange imp at all?
Why did the FO build another death star?
Why did they blow up those republic planets, and why did they wait so long to do it?
Why does the FO wanna find Luke?
In fact, what do they even want at all?

List goes on, and these are all plot elements from the film as a standalone. A lot if which will go unexplained because the characters have no motives, no development.

Finn, Rey, Poe, we literally know NOTHING about them.

Finn's past being left out was exceptionally bad, since the film hinted to be going in that direction from the opening scene.


And that's not even getting into the HOWs, which are this film's most heinous crimes.

Like:
How did R2D2 wake up?
How did Poe survive and get back with resistance, and how did he lose his jacket?
How did Rey go SSJ on a sith lord?
How did the First Order get the money for the Starkiller base?

Most of these questions can be answered with a simple "to advance the plot." That's bad storytelling anon.

And don't say the sequels will answer it, because other books and media that set up sequels do a fair job at explaining the plot and characters on their own.

In LotR, we knew WHY Frodo had to go to Mordor, it wasn't left for the next film, in HP, we knew WHY Harry was sent to Hogwarts, we even knew he was special. It wasn't left hanging for Harry to pull a Deus Ex Machine, and then explained later that he was special. It was built up.

TFA fails at ALL of this.

Leia sent her underling instead, then the planet was blown up.

piss poor analogy. here's a better one, according to you and others, James Bond is a garbage man today, and then he's suddenly thrust into espionage and man of mystery stuff and now he's flying a Harriet because at the age of 4, he flew a crop duster with his dad, and because his uncle's an sas, he went on mock missions with his uncle for shits and giggles for a few months and stuff, so that now, he can fight with trained assassins and knows how every gun works because he plays call of duty and stuff..

that'd be a shitty unbelievable character, wouldn’t it?

watch TFA again and try and note how much new it brings to the table. How much substance and how much of the universe it expands on the 6 existing movies

The answer is barely anything. Sure they changed the names of some things. Tattoine is now Jakku, The Rebellion is now the Resistance, the Empire is now the First Order, but sticking a new label on something doesn't make it new content.

The true crime of this movie is that it set the tone for the next two. It didn't just ruin this one movie, it made sure that the next 2 would do the exact same shit, by setting a broke and unusable framework for the whole trilogy.

It's focus group tested, mass marketed hollywood garbage. Gone is the spirituality, the homages, the awe for greater things. The paying respect to techniques, franchieses, movies and series that came before. Look up how much influence the original trilogy had. From Western movies to Samurai films, tons of stuff. This movie only has itself as a reference. It's a shallow copy of something far greater than the sum of its parts.

And this is why neohipsters will love it to death, it's their free ticket into the fandom. It's their way to shit on the whole thing. Expect people to say it's the best of all the movies so far, fully expect it. Expect people to reurgitate the same old bullshit arguments that have been circulating the internet pretty much since it exists.
Because people have to believe them, because they want to believe them. Because they sacrifice taste and a potential good movie for a sense of belonging.

You're right, for a film it's mediocre, but this isn't just any film, it's Star Wars. That's the issue.

It had a 200 million dollar+ budget to work with. It had hype. It had the original cast members. It had all the negatives about the prequels to improve on.

And yet, we end up with some mediocre film. It's completely forgettable and literally adds nothing to the series. If anything its actually detracts from it. Who would have thought Star Wars would become so bland and boring. Even the prequels had originality.

When George did shit in the original series he took a lot of stuff from the serials he grew up with and the stuff he saw as a kid, like how the x wing was a Mustang and the Falcon was a bomber.....Even the Pod racing was him recalling how he raced soap boxes and then hot rods when he was a teenager. he even got Shmi's apprehension right when she feared for her boy Anakin because he wrecked every single pod he was in and effectively never finished a race.

George Lucas grew up on wide scope movies that would explode on the screen so that even in the prequels, although poorly made, it had these wide shots. huge shots and establishing shots. So that even in the prequels George tried to reference stuff that was near and dear to him.


the movie feels like J.J. referenced everything from A New Hope and the sequels without understanding what those scenes were about. Instead of asking George of his mind set when he penned or directed a scene, J.J. just replicated cell for cell each scene and still missed out on why George did as he did. He remembers in A New Hope that a lot of world shots were cramped and not as huge and that's because of budget restraints and inadequate technology in conveying alien worlds. George could have used painted back grounds but he doesn't strike me as the I'm gonna use painted back grounds type.

George Lucas made "American Graffiti" for those reasons, Fox got him to make Star Wars.

That is why he HIRED Alan Dean Foster to write the backstory for the original Star Wars.

Foster was also used to write the backstory for TFA.

The studios screwed Dune and made Star Wars under the noses of them.

They even used England as SCABS to make Star Wars.

Lucas didn't write an Epic, they rehashed Dune. He hired Foster because he had no interest in Star Wars beyond $$$.

They stole everything from Dune, Lucas' clique are gangsters. Even the Luke-Vader father theme comes from Dune.

Dune used knife fighting, Lucas went one better and made the knifes lasers.

Because of everything I just said. He can win the war against the First Order.

I assume you mean the First Order. They obviously want to take over the galaxy, first and foremost by destroying the competition. They took out the Republic Senate during a scene your mom took you to the bathroom. Next they need to wipe out the Resistance.

So snoke goes after Luke because his super death star is afraid that in a few years Luke could actually train a bunch of people who could die like the Jedi Generals did during the clone wars? Because if you remember, soldiers and armies and weaponry win wars, not Jedi.

So what exactly is wrong with Breitbart because all I know them for posting an article about why men are afraid to have casual sex in college

Three points that should be made.
>It takes less than 20 people to destroy a death star in the star wars universe
>20 Jedi are way more valuable than 20 random soldiers
>Jedi Generals were "winning" the Clone Wars before they were betrayed by the clone troopers, it wasn't a head-to-head scenario
So yeah, Snoke is rightfully afraid, imo

Many questions should be answered in its own containment film, I agree, but much of what you're nitpicking about is straight-up explained in the film. But it's not like Star Wars has ever followed the rule of answering every question in one movie.

which is explained well enough because Luke contacts Leia which shows there's a connection between the two. although not said, it's strongly implied of who this other person is. Luke calls to Leia and she feels him.

we then see Luke and Vader talking to each other telepahtically. a familial bond.

it took a long time though to win said war. and the new republic or whatever the hell jar jar called it, didn't actually have a menacing fleet or anything. plus snoke was going to hit their power places already, so what could a rag tag bunch of Jedi do without an army? with the new republic's in disarray, at the very least, they could only manage to be a thorn in the Empire's side. Besides, Luke had an Academy with actual students and I'm sure, other Masters who were all taken out by the Knights of Ren and others.

It's funny how they falter Finn for being a token black character who happens to be black for the sake of being black yet if it were a white male in his place they would come up with some bullshit about how it's a role designed to emasculate white males and show them in a role subservient to women.

Breitbart - hand wringing Republican pants-shitting pandering

As a way to save money they filmed in England to avoid workers' union hassles. The guy that posted that is some /pol/tard idiot who probably thinks unions are a communist plot yet he'll use scabs as insult because it fits his narrative.
