It's literally a movie for 12 year olds - but my question is whether there is anything appealing even to them in it. Like holy fuck, if you think about it, it could be compared to that second Starship Troopers low-budget shitpile.

They should have casted Ben Mendelsohn as the main villain for the new trilogy. Had him be a young commander who climbed the ranks of the Empire after RoTJ and ended up becoming the leader of it by the time of TFA. Would have been better than Hux who seems way to young and Snoke. Kylo obviously stays the same.

They had perfect source material for these shitty movies - the Thrawn Trilogy, which actually has a good fucking story, and a good fucking villain. But their intent was to target early teens, it seems. But again - would this really even appeal to them?

That blonde kid shouldn't be a general. Leia Solo should have remained a diplomat in the New Republic. There should have been more political drama. What the fuck was the point of "Captain Phasma"? What kind of comic shit name is that? What the fuck kind of title is "Supreme Leader"? Are we in North Korea?

The whole "First Order" shit was overdone. It came off entirely as some comic book archvillainy bullshit. Imperial Remnant with a council of Moffs was a million times more interesting. Not sure why they would just toss that brilliance out of the window when we had this brilliant man in the first episode.

>>68076240
I always thought it was an average rehash of the first Star Wars with a sterile, female Luke and none of Lucas's originality in terms of scenery and locale (things that were still good even in the prequels). I think a lot of folks were nostalgia blinded and are now coming out of it
>>
>>68079143
I never said the dark side was good. The dark side and the empire are objectively evil but why do villains have to be pushovers and not threatening? Star wars is a black and white universe but I fail to see how the villains have to be such a joke. The empire never looked like one in the first two films of the OT though I will grant you that they became one on RoTJ.

I think it's implied that he would have some form of training considering Traitorbro had that melee weapon thing. Albeit, Finn a shit and isn't a Mary Sue, so he got his shit fucked by him and Kylo Ren.

6 swerved between a couple iconic scenes propped up partially by nostalgia to downright prequel-stupid scenes. Put 6 beside 7 and try to be objective for once.

I'm engaged, and sincerely wouldn't post pictures of someone I care for on 4chan. Also, I never said Ridley was unattractive, simply that it'd be bad taste to have her as a waifu. She's bland.

Initially everyone was happy with it because it wasn't as blatantly terrible as the prequels. Almost immediately we raised our expectations for what a new Star Wars movie should be. Now everyone is nit-picking every detail of the movie, comparing it to some mythical notion of the quality of the original trilogy. That and a lot of butt-blasted /pol/ folks that are triggered by anything.

You can't use the argument of 6 being propped up by nostalgia then say 7 is objectively better. Not that I'm entirely disagreeing, but again it's easier for me to like a good but flawed movie more than a movie directly constructed to ape 4 except for the parts that gave it the most charm.

>>68080208
I'm not saying VII is objectively better. I'm saying people generally aren't comparing the two objectively. I'm not even a VII fan, I more just don't understand why VI gets such a pass just for being in the OT (for example saying it had "charm"). It truly wasn't any good.

Don't tell her you consider her about as attractive as someone you find bland-looking.

>>68080370
Not him, but I think people only really hate VI for the Ewoks. Almost everytime I ask why someone hates it they just say "The fucking Ewoks dude", while overlooking the space battle and the throne room scene which, in my opinion, was the best scene in the saga (that or the whole carbonite chamber).
>>
>>68080370
It gets a pass by way of being less shit than the prequels and not a complete rehash of 4 or 6. Note that I described 4 as charming, not 6.

After watching 7 I went back to the OT wanting to see how I felt about it. I still liked all of them better, despite issues I had with 6 because it still added new setpieces and scenery and wasn't paint-by-numbers that was The Force Awakens. I'm not saying 'Jedi is a fucking revelation to film, but that it did more right than 'Awakens did when it wasn't copying 4 shot for shot.

Went shopping today and hit up a few stores, most of which had movie sections. Each stocked to the brim with tfa, every single copy just sitting there. I asked if they restocked recently but all I got was the same answer "Nope, nobody's buying it."

The movie made its money on pure name and nostalgia, now that it's past normies/reditumblr don't care anymore, despite what the shills here will have you believe.

>>68080429
In my opinion it's not just the ewok scenes. The whole film besides what you mentioned just feels so weak and disjointed.

I was at a restaurant with my wife a few weeks ago.
My wife went to the bathroom and told me when she got back, that when she walked in a woman was taking the loudest piss she ever heard, like someone running a bath with both taped turned on fully. My wife peed, washed her hands and was fixing her hair and lipstick when the woman finally stopped, my wife waited around to see the monster that had unleashed that torrent in the cubicle next to her (who at this point was still going), expecting some giant hamplanet, imagine my wife's surprise when the piss finally stopped and out walked Daisy Ridley.

My wife said she was already going when she walked in and went for at least a further two minutes, her flowing only slowing in the last 10 seconds or so.

Better late than never I guess, maybe in episode 8 they'll have him come back as a clone since jj basically left the movie nowhere else to go.

I don't know if there's a name for it but I get a really strange feeling, like I'm not in the right world, I'm in an alternate universe that I'm not suppose to be in. When Disney bought Star Wars the course changed, and now everything feels weird, When I see all this new trashy Star Wars garbage I know it's not right, it feels off. It seems petty for this to be over just star wars, but I'm telling yeah, something's wrong, it wasn't suppose to be this way.
