I think we can all agree it was bad. Maybe not AS BAD as the prequels, but definitely an average money making type of film. It exists to celebrate itself. It's completely devoid of humanity, and only real purpose, other than money, is to be a vehicle for leftist politics. I just wanted to watch a Star Wars film, again.

It was basically a two and a half hour movie trailer. It sets up nothing new for the Star Wars universe while presenting a shit on of questions that will only be answered (hopefully) in another movie.

None of the magic was there. There was no world building or adding to the lore. It was a very watered down version of ANH. It was in every way worse than the prequels.

Not him but 6 is overrated. It just gets lumped in with the other originals because those were top tier.
>>
It's not bad, it just didn't take enough risks. It just just borrowed or rehashed a bunch of shit from the original trilogy and didn't add enough new, interesting ideas. They played it too safe. They needed to try more new things, but obviously not in the way they prequels did it where every new idea was completely idiotic and seemed like Lucas thought it up while taking a shit.
>>
>>67331218
The Disney execs were terrified of making another bad Star Wars movie that they went with what worked, i.e. rehashing A New Hope.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. They got their good reviews and the box office bonanza. The real test is if they can come up with good, totally original storylines for the next films.

I liked it more than the prequels, except the last one... the first 2 are barely watchable except for Dooku and somewhat Kenobi. The director on TFA here played safe, did his homework and delivered a fun film and kept my attention... yes it's recycled, yes it feels like an intro, yes it's lady superhero saves the day. It's still better for me than the first 2 prequels.

I didn't paid for this movie, but i watched it, let me get something clear, i did not took the ticket worth value from my bank account and transfered it to the makers of this movie yet i managed to see it , here is the reason: not a single cent of my hard earned right wing money was used to support this industry and this big expensive investiment to make this title a reality on screen, lemme tell you why: the money that is in my pocket, its currently 20 bucks could have paid me to watch the movie in the theaters legally as it was intended yet it did not worked that way, i held it and it still here, i am looking at it and the movie is running on the monitor and i think of all the movies that are avaliable at the theaters also the upcoming ones and i don't feel like paying for any of them.

Would iit have been better if we didn't see kylo's face at all in the movie? Would of made for a better twist when we see how he really seems like an insecure teenager after we took better time to realize he matches the character he is and how he acts.

Seventh sequel in a franchise. Skyfall was a celebration of the Bond mythos and it's perhaps the greatest Bond film ever maid. This criticism means nothing.

According to an autist on /tv/. It's noted for human characters and propulsive script that was almost entirely driven by the human decisions made by flawed characters.

Oh so you're just saying buzzwords to excuse being a butthurt conservative SJW who got triggered by a movie with a female protagonist and a second-protagonist black dude. Gotcha.
> just wanted to watch a Star Wars film, again.
You did. Problem is in reality you wanted reasons to be a contrarian on the internet and you went into the movie seeking out confirmation bias. Problem is you're an edgy teen who feels compelled to rebel against what is popular and good, to prove some point you'll never understand. Problem is you're a tryhard buzzkill dipshit and you'll miss out on everything cool and die angry.

Almost like the movie both implicitly and explicitly explained exactly what Han had been up to in the last 30 years. Got married, settled down, raised a kid, kid turned rotten, kid fucked everything up, everyone is pissed, wife looks a yeti, fuck it mid-life space pirating it is.

Didn't have any investment in Leia's planet, but we still understood that it was a dick thing to blow it up. We actually saw more of the victims in TFA than ANH.
>"I like this thing" Like Han never shot Chewie's bow in all those years...
Maybe he hadn't. Maybe it'd been a while and he was restating how impressed he was. Maybe this is an autistic thing to complain about.

I don't give a fuck about /pol/-tier shit. The movie was OKAY. Not bad. Not good.

It was better than all the prequels and their toilet humor. It doesn't hold a candle to 5 or 4. 6 is a bit better than it.

Positive things:
Humor done correctly.
Good fighting scenes (not overly CGI and flashy)
Likeable main characters (again, not /pol/)
Decent plot.

Bad:
Terrible acting by Jew Jew and Poe
A bit too much unnecessary humor
Repetitive story
>>
>>67340427
>humor done correctly

>>67340449
Yes. It wasn't cringe, it actually made you laugh and didn't detract from the story.

It's a family film made by Disney, it was going to have humor in it obviously. But it was the sort of humor the whole family could laugh at. Not just the little kids while the parents groan to themselves.

When you see Luke in ANH, you only think of a boy, which kind of compounds the gravity of his hero's journey. Kind of the entire point of all three trilogies is that an extraordinary force is destroyed by a childish hero in over their head.

King Arthur and Excalibur, Neo, Frodo, Luke, Anakin, those fag kids in the jesus closet series, almost every fantasy protagonist ever starts out as a childish and naive character.

You're basically saying that you didn't like that the childish female protagonist wasn't there for you to want to fuck.

Leia was not drop dead gorgeous. I'd also like to point out that Carrie Fisher was 18/19 in SW 1, whereas Daisey is 22. You think Carrie looks older because
1. The poor quality of film / camera shows much less detail than modern ones
2. You saw SWfor the first time when you were young enough that a 18 year old girl looked fully grown to you
3. You still have that image of Carrie today due to 2, even though you're older than Carrie was in SW
4. You're older than Daisey, so even though it's probably not by much, the SU jective perception has caused her to look like a child to you

No, soap operas are put on television for tween girls.

Star Wars was a space opera, there's a difference. In Star Wars, we don't pause to linger as Luke slips into the shower with Mara Jade.

Lucas literally took every opportunity to expand his canvas, and maintain a master shot throughout a feature length film. They feel like gigantic movies for that reason alone. A soap opera pauses to focus on character's breathing heavily....

I agree that there are flaws. I'm glad there are the flaws that there are. To me the objective flaws are:
>They cut the scene that explained what exactly was going on between the Republic, the Resistance, and The New Order.
>They only provided 2 brief instances of visual exposition to imply why Rey was a good pilot, and it's only left implied by association that Rey was familiar with the Falcon because she was a mechanic for the person that owned it.
>The Starkiller base shouldn't have been destroyed. It was one thing having another super-weapon planet, but it would have been more compelling to have it survive, doubling down on the Empire pottery.
>They cut the sequence explaining why Luke's lightsaber found its way to that bar.
>They ended the film with an awkward helicopter shot instead of a sweeping static wideshot.
>Han Solo's monster shenanigans is seemingly all going to be a dead end, since Kanjiclub can't collect a debt from a dead man. But given the pottery of Kanjiclub with Jabba, they'll likely play a significant part in the future.

Why would you fuck any fantasy-adventure protagonist? That's not what they're there for.
>I want Leia because she's a qt space princess.
That's exactly why she was there. In ANH you are watching Luke essentially do the plot of The Wizard of Oz, but there's no reveal at the end that it was all a dream. In the first act he's introduced with all these things he's grumpy about. He wants to fight in the Star War, he wants to be a space pilot, there's no viable pussy in his neighborhood, he yearns for adventure. The rest of the story shows all of those things play out perfectly for him. He rescues the qt space princess and destroys the space Hidden Fortress using his seemingly coincidental space magic powers. She was part of his (and the audience he was a surrogate for's) fantasy.

But TFA isn't ANH. Both movies have the same framework but everything else is it's own. Nobody wants to see the whiny tryhard spoiled poindexter score a radical babe. That shits been done. In 1977. And the rest of the 80's.

Instead this time the protagonist is someone who didn't have Luke's comfy childhood, and doesn't have Luke's angsty 70's comedy teen sex drive.

This time the protagonist's motivations are simpler. Desire for a family. Rey spent her apparent whole life on her own, waiting for the family that abandoned her. Her arc in TFA is about her choosing to embrace her new, adopted family, and take agency in the narrative as she decides to quit waiting around and seek out her future. It's a pretty solid arc to represent the current generation, just like ANH pandered to the mindset of the baby boomers.

>TFA really was not good, it was incredibly tame and unoriginal,
By what standard? It seems either the complaints on this thread are that it was "unoriginal" or roundabout complaints about how it isn't exactly like ANH. Neither Luke nor Anakin had Rey's character arc. Kylo is an overwhelmingly more compelling overarching villain than Sheev was in the PT, and he's coming out the gate stronger than Vader was after ANH. In ANH Vader was more or less just the bond-villain henchman to a monkey-eyed woman we see for 30 seconds. Other than being a ruthless dick in a goofy space suit, he didn't have much of a character at all until Empire.
>felt like any other action space movie these days

Yeah he generically wanted Adventure. Author/audience-surrogate George Lucas Skywalker wants a flash gordon adventure, gets one through an extraordinary set of circumstances.
>especially when you consider that he literally never made any moves on her.
He's an awkward bumbly George Lucas nerd, and she's a literal princess. He doesn't try to court her but she is explicitly shown to be someone he wants to fuck. When she kisses him to fuck with Han, he's stoked as shit. And really that's the point, he's a surrogate for asocial D&D nerds, the idea that the girl kisses you IS the fantasy.

That's the first 5 minutes off his character. He didn't want to be a moisture farmer.
Then, his parents get killed, and he decides he's going to do the right thing and stand up to the Empire.

If he'd have just wanted adventure, he wouldn't have joined the suicide mission to take down the Death Star. He would have gone with Han.

It's much better than the prequels but nowhere near as good as the original trilogy.

I can see some kids that never grew out of the prequels which they saw in elementary school saying they think episode 3 is more entertaining, but objectively speaking that's nonesense.

This movie took the nostalgia bullet intentionally so they could prove they care about the license going forward.
Yes, this rams that 20 years down the line TFA will feel stale when marathoning the saga, but if that's the price we have to pay to pull this series out of the muck that is the prequels and away from Lucas' oversight then so be it.

>>67343237
>For like a minute before getting sidetracked with more important things.
It's a moment that is seared into the collective pop culture consciousness forever. It's seared into Luke's too.
>He's downright asexual by ROTJ.
He was never really sexual to start with. That was the whole point in the first place. He's a child. His relationship with Leia was an immature childish understanding of attraction. She was his boon in the second act. She was the Peach to his Mario. It's a childish point of view. We're watching children protagonists being forced into an adult world that they don't really understand, but overcome with space magic enforced with naive optimism.
>implying those count
I'm not saying they're necessarily canon, but it speaks to creator's intent that well into production they were still shooting will-they-won't-they scenes between 2 characters that would eventually be revealed to be siblings. It speaks to the fact that it's clear that the decision to make them secret twins happened late in production or after they settled on the "I am your Father" omgtwist.
>Also, Han is George's real self-insert, pic related.
Ok. Aside from the fact that Luke has essentially all of George Lucas' personality in ANH, is the undertog protagonist in a story with a bunch of badass coolguys, and is literally named LUKE, Han is totally his self-insert. I certainly think they both are versions of George inserting himself into the story, but Luke is clearly George writing George, and Han is clearly George writing George's ideal badass.
>>
>>67343384
>Are you serious?
Yes.
>That's the first 5 minutes off his character.
Literally the most important time for a fantasy movie to establish it's protagonist's standing personality and situation. Dorothy is only in Kansas for like 15 minutes before her adventure starts, and Luke is in American Graffiti in Space for around 10 minutes before his adventure begins. It's those brief scenes before the inciting action hurls the protagonist into adventure that establish everything we need to know about where the character is coming from and what the character wants. See also: Basically every adventure protagonist ever.
>He didn't want to be a moisture farmer.
He wanted to join the imperial academy.
>Then, his parents get killed
Aunt and Uncle
>and he decides he's going to do the right thing and stand up to the Empire.
Because he was already swept up in a conspiracy with an old Jedi and a bunch of maguffindroids. he was already into the hero arc by that point.
>If he'd have just wanted adventure, he wouldn't have joined the suicide mission to take down the Death Star.
That's the definition of adventure. Let's not forget the whole WAR element of the story. All Quiet on the Western Front is all about young men signing up to fight and risk death adventuring across France. Seven Samurai is about disgraced Samurai choosing the adventure path to die like heroes for a greater cause. He's an adolescent boy who gets to go on every adolescent boy's fantasy adventure. He saves a princess and overcomes all odds to take the castle and defeat the badmen.
>He would have gone with Han. But he didn't.
Exactly the point. Han didn't care about adventure and heroics for adventure and heroics sake. He was a cynical, practical criminal who was always looking out for himself first. Luke was almost the exact opposite of that. He longed for adventure. He wanted to be a hero. He wanted everything the audience wants in a fantasy adventure story, and he got it.

What is character development?
How do you not get that the entire plot of Star Wars, the reason Han and Luke get medals side by side in the end, is because both of them turn from selfcentered characters, to people who are willing to do what is right for the greater good?
Luke was more drastically pushed into it in the beginning, but he still made choices.
Hell, you said it yourself. He wanted to go to the Academy.
Does the Empire look like an adventurous employer to you? If anything, he wanted to make something of himself. If he wanted this nonsensical idea of adventure as you define it, where he'd just fly into the freaking Empire in an X-Wing, he'd have had plenty of other choices on Tatooine.

I mean this could be bait. It should be.
I can't imagine that someone wouldn't get Star Wars of all things.

That is a very sensible response.

Not OP but TFA had to both distance itself from the prequels and reconnect us to the OT AND give us new character introductions. It did all those things in a serviceable fashion.

It's no 10/10 movie by any means (I think it got fucked up in editing,personally) but it did it's job. Hopefully episodes 8 and 9 take us back to the fantastical SW universe again instead of being full-on POTTERY.

>How do you not get that the entire plot of Star Wars, the reason Han and Luke get medals side by side in the end, is because both of them turn from selfcentered characters, to people who are willing to do what is right for the greater good?
No. Luke was gung-ho to save the princess, he was gung-ho to escort her to the rebel base, and he was gung-ho as fuck to storm the castle. The entire dynamic between Luke and Han leading up to the resolution is that Luke is annoying naive and optimistic and "heroic," and Han is a mercenary shoot-first who only joins the adventure because of necessity. He has to get away from Jabba, and he has to make some money to cover his debts. The entire point of the him showing up to save Luke in the third act is to show that Han's had a change of heart. He came around to seeing things from Luke's perspective, at least enough for him to go to battle and risk death with nothing to be gained.
>Luke was more drastically pushed into it in the beginning, but he still made choices.
Yeah, and all his choices were to continue the adventure. He could have seen the "Help us Obi-Wan, you're our only hope" message, and hit delete. But no, he followed the white rabbit.
>Hell, you said it yourself. He wanted to go to the Academy.
He wanted adventure. The Academy in an Empire-controlled region would be the standard means to that end. He's a wannabe hero. He's the kind of kid that joins the marines at 18, or as it happens in Luke's case, the insurgency.
>Does the Empire look like an adventurous employer to you?
Do the Marines? Does the Navy? Get to see the world, learn new skills, maybe get in fights, maybe do heroic shit.

>Almost like the circumstances had changed for both those characters between their first encounter and final battle. Almost like that's how adventure story arcs work.

How though? Rey hasn't gone through any learning or development since then. This isn't an arc. "Man gets job and works hard" is an arc, "Man wins lottery" is not.

>Almost like heroes and fantasy adventure movies are the protagonists because they are extraordinary or something.

Come on man, you JUST said she's supposedly gone through an arc. Characters don't start extraordinary, they have to develop and grow into an extraordinary character, because their journey is always a metaphorical journey within themselves. All stories which resonate follow this format, and with very good reason. Rey doesn't progress at all, she just suddenly already has all these powers, which is extremely unsatisfying to watch.

>Ignoring the trench scenes in essentially every other Star Wars movie.

Such as...?

>>Rey closes her eyes cuz she dont need no man to teach her how to concentrate on the force. She just uploads sweetsaberskills.exe from the matrix
>Luke closes his eyes and turns of targeting cuz he don't need no automated assistance and uses the force to make a photon torpedo turn 90 degrees.

Luke - who, by the way, has spent the movie getting his ass kicked, picking himself up and gradually learning be a hero, which is an actual character arc - has guidance from Obi-Wan, as he has throughout the movie. It's not an "I'm so awesome" moment, it's a leap of faith, and clearly presented as such. This is satisfying to an audience because it's the completion of his journey - he has learned to embrace and trust in the Force, and taken his first steps in a larger world.


I'm honestly not saying this to be a dick, but you need to watch more films and learn more about story structure. So much of what you said is way wide of the mark.

Are you not at all familiar with the fantasy or adventure genres? Spiderman "wins lottery," Superman "wins lottery," Wolverine "wins lottery," Harry Potter "wins lottery," Frodo "wins lottery." Fuck's sake man Force Users are genetic mutants with telekinetic, psychic, mystical space powers. If you're the protagonist of a Star Wars movie, you "won the fucking lottery." The entire arc of any hero's journey boils down to "discovering you are special" and "choosing to embrace how special you are" so that you can win the story.
>"Man gets job and works hard" is an arc,

>Characters don't start extraordinary,
Other than Superman, Harry Potter, Luke and Anakin Skywalker, Neo, basically every YA protagonist, almost every Marvel and DC character, and essentially every protagonist at all relevant to this conversation.
>Luke - who, by the way, has spent the movie getting his ass kicked, picking himself up and gradually learning be a hero, which is a character arc
Luke has a different motivation and the story plays it out differently than Rey. Luke wants to be a hero, and goes through a learning curve figuring out how to be. Wannabe hero learns the ropes.

Rey doesn't want to be a hero, and has to ultimately decide to do the right thing and embrace her fate. Reluctant hero finds their way.

They're both tried and true character arcs. Your complaint is that her's isn't literally the same as his.
We're 7 movies into the series, we don't need a nerd-surrogate dipshit to walk us into the lore anymore. They skipped the naive know-nothing optimist protagonist that was done well in ANH and terribly in TPM, and went ahead and made the protagonist someone that had already had to survive in a harsh world.
>It's not an "I'm so awesome" moment, it's a leap of faith, and clearly presented as such.
That's fine. He still inexplicably used space magic to win the story.

Luke turned down being "a hero" too though, he only decided to go on the adventure once his adopted parents died and he had no other purpose.

>Characters don't start extraordinary,
>Other than Superman, Harry Potter, Luke and Anakin Skywalker, Neo

Luke doesn't belong in that list because he failed at practically everything besides the Death Star, and that came about due to practicing shooting Womprats and flying an aircraft that was outfitted with the same control system as one he flew at home.

I do feel that it opens up interesting scenarios for 8 and 9 while not taking any risks in their current movie.

Personally I still want to see ep. 8 and will want to see 9. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that neither of these movies will have a Starkiller Base II or other stale poetry.

Eh he had already opened the box. Inciting action had already happened. He was already balls deep in the "saving the princess" intrigue by the time they died. His caregivers dying was just another plot beat to wrap up any loose ends hampering the story progression. In the Lucas ex machina sense, killing his Aunt and Uncle actually removed his choice. He had nothing to go back to, at that point he had to move forward.

Again, ANH is basically a "kid get's his wish" story, for better and worse. He "wished upon 2 daylight moons" and kickstarted the progressive action of the story.
>Luke doesn't belong in that list because he failed at practically everything besides the Death Star
He's literally one of the strongest force users in Star Wars canon, without any of the bullshit prequel canon baby training or anything else. He starts off seemingly normal, but oops turns out he's The One. Remember when I said
>The entire arc of any hero's journey boils down to "discovering you are special" and "choosing to embrace how special you are" so that you can win the story.
Harry Potter in his first act isn't explicitly "special" but then he is suddenly plunged into this secret world of intrique and magic and oops turns out he's The One. Neo in his first act isn't explicitly "special," he's an angsty IT nerd with tardiness problems, but then he is plunged into a world of intrigue and computer bullshit and oops turns out he's The One. They're all the same. Rey is also a The One, but unlike Luke or Neo she wasn't asking for it or seeking it out. She's closer to Harry Potter in that regard. Some heroes seek out greatness, others have it thrust upon them.

That doesn't change the fact that he said "no, I'm not going to Alderaan, I hate the Empire but there's nothing I can do, I gotta go home or I'll get in trouble, sorry".

>He's literally one of the strongest force users in Star Wars canon,

This is bullshit though considering he failed all of Yoda's tests, failed in his first fight with Vader, barely managed to use the force to get the lightsaber to come to him, failed a Jedi mindtrick with Jabba, nearly lost against the Rancor, only won against Vader the second time due to giving into the dark side, and then got rekt by Sheev. The only real accomplishment he ever had was destroying the Death Star and influencing Vader.

What is internal logic


You are far more confident in your own intelligence than you should be. I've been reading your comments and you come across as someone who just doesn't get how stories work, but is utterly convinced that they do. You've got to consider that, if Rey's story worked as well as you claim, people wouldn't be reacting so negatively towards it. It doesn't feel right, whether you can put your finger on it or not, and the reason for that is her complete lack of an arc. She has no learning curve, the only journey she goes on is a literal one, and her sudden mastery of the force is dramatically underwhelming because it's a reveal, not a reward.

It was worse than the prequels, at least the originals tried to be original
>>
>>67331218
I'd argue that it was worse than the prequels because it just lazily tried to cash in on nostalgia while simultaneously just remaking ANH for a new audience. I've never seen a movie that was so dedicated to playing it safe, it was painful.

You may not like what he did, but Lucas had a unique vision for the prequels, and got to make them without anyone else interfering with it (unlike the original trilogy). There's a lot of interesting political commentary that makes the prequels much more meaningful than any of the other movies.

The film was very average. It had great production values, as one would expect from Disney's venture into Star Wars, but as many people have pointed out it only revisited plot points and themes we have all seen before. Nothing new or interesting occurred during the entire thing. The OT had its charm and instantly recognizable character arc, and the PT for all its flaws explored a darker side to the universe.

This new film, supposedly the first of a trilogy, doesn't seem to have anything going for it. It really only had throwbacks to better films: references for people to appreciate with their rose-tinted glasses. It was a montage of mediocrity.

Here's my opinion:

All the new characters were good and carry the movie.

Han and especially Leia bog shit down so hard and are so awful they ruin the movie whenever they are on screen, which is way too much for Han.

The plot is atrocious. Wow another Deathstar. Amazing that people get paid to write this.

In the context of a 'reboot' which is how it feels, the next installments could come good if they don't have a shit ton of Luke in them and focus on the new characters.

As a standalone movie this was like a 5/10. Rey is CUTE

No one cares that at the age of 9, Anakin
was able to build two identical jet engines
from scratch out of spare junk and then
literally strap them onto a pod with some cables, presumably writing his own programming for the software of the pod,
which yielded a vehicle that could safely
travel 700kph, which he could repair
on-the-fly from sabotage while piloting it at
high speeds and while fending off other
people who were trying to kill him.

No one ever said the Falcon is hard to fly. Even Leia pilots it in ANH when Han et Luke shoot at the TIEs.
