I thought those guys looked like they belong in a superhero movie, so I was okay with them and Kanjiklub getting so little screentime. The Scottish dude was kind of distracting just because of how thick it was.
First fotr the glorious Galactic Empire

>>78435878
As someone who is Scottish and living in Scotland, everyone I knew even agreed it was too much and I even heard a couple of laughs when he started talking
Do you guys have any funny comics about the new film?
>>78436007
Completely agree. Strong accents in Star Wars were usually given to the aliens to make them stand out and feel more exotic. See Jar Jar, Watto, Greivous, Cham Syndulla, ect.
So when a strong accent is on a human, it stands out like a sore thumb.
>>78436208
I have this.
>>78436162
This guys will appear in episode 8 and 9 right? I want to see them fight without weapons
http://www.saberparts.com
Post dem Lightsabers.
>>78436236
"Do you want to purge this memory's hold over you, boy? Join me and kill all your peers!"
First for best husbando Poe.
>>78436162
I don't do accents well, was his obviously really put on or would it be like my hearing a southern accent nearing comically thick?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8hQVlRgFlU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEIrQUXm_hY
>>78436234
That's not to say it's not welcome, though
But man
I thought Rey was a more likable protagonist than Anakin and Luke (in A New Hope at least).
Come the FUCK at me.
>>78436236
Little Kylo Ren is a qt.I hope the artist intended him to be at least 14 in that comic.
>>78436241
They're dead, man, both of em
Devoured by tentacle ball monsters
>>78436374
I liked Anakin.
>>78436424
Then you are lost.
>>78436374
I'll give you AotC Anakin, but ANH Luke is goat whiny young boy protagonist.
>>78436374
somebody post the webm of carrie fisher telling daisy that a ton of guys are gonna jack off to her
>>78436314
It wasn't so much it was put on(pretty sure I've seen the guy in a TV show here) or too thick(that'd be full on stereotypical highland accent, this was something closer to south/central Scotland) its just his actor wasn't that great so it was stilted which was emphasised by his accent and it was so out of place and so much stronger compared to the English and American accents.
>>78436393
Thats impossible, why would JJ hire two martial artists just to be eaten before even do anything
Anyone here remember the beauty that was Backstroke of the West?
I guess after Kylo Ren stopped being General Hux's wingman at the bar,he's Ben Solo.
>>78436607
CARLOS!
>>78436541
>why would JJ hire two martial artists just to be eaten
>hire two martial artists
>martial artists
Martial artists in the film industry are just stuntmen.
I tried showing Star Wars Rebels to my 12 year old twin brothers while I'm home for the holidays and they said the animation was bad and it looks like a dumb Disney cartoon.
These are the same kids who bought tickets for the first showing of TFA and love rewatching the prequel films.fucking faggots
>>78436541
To showcase even more how great Rey is at things when she rescues Finn from those dangerous monsters that ate those toughguys like it was nothing.
>>78436721
They're retarded, the animation of the show is top notch. The budget and artstule is inferior to TCW in a massive way, but 12 year olds arent gonna know that.
I'm guessing they're just tryhard "im too mature for cartoons" kids.
>>78436721
Well to be fair the animations from Rebels (especially in the first season) were really a step down after The Clone Wars.Add to that the fact that the thin lightsaber blades don't work out in CGI all too well too if you want.
>>78435947
Carrie did well to be high as fuck during that special
>>78436913
Interesting trivia, Lee's niece is in TFA. She's the doctor that looks at Chewie's injuries and goes "oh how scary, you're so brave"
>>78436541
I'll go see the movie tomorrow again. Gotta confirm is that is true cause those guys made me hype for the movie
>>78436721
>12 year olds are try-hards
Stunning
>>78436762
>the animation of the show is top notch
Look, I like Rebels too, but this just isn't true.
>>78437305
I dunno' man, there's a lot of nice looking scenes.
He looks so happy
>>78437379
And yet even there were a few parts where they moved a bit too stiff. It was worse in the earlier parts of the season though. Like when Kallus got back up and walked backwards with unnatural speed.
>>78436721
Just wait till they get to high school and say they only liked the prequels because they were dumb kids, all while wearing a fedora and suit get-up and citing plinkett.
Ah high school, what a shitty person I was. I kept the fedora so I'd never forget how far I let myself fall as a person. It's somewhere in my closet I think. Shit I wish I had a Kylo Ren costume so I could re-enact that scene with Vader's helmet for you guys.
>>78437407
Of course, the Force literally breathed new life into him.
>>78437379
>last episode of the season where all the budget is shoved into
>>78435985
Rey is a cute! Cute!
>>78437407
>that dogs face
>My papa is Luke Skywalker!
>>78436374
She is better. Much better.
>>78437305
Animation is good, models are just okay. The motion of the characters is silky smooth most of the time and doesn't look glaringly unnatural.
Who else got a ton of star wars shit for christmas? The only thing not star wars on me is my underwear.
>>78437468
>>78437498
>I got paid so much just to show up
>>78437546
Eh. Either Poe or Finn would have been better main characters. Rey doesn't even have "being a whiny bitch" going for her like Luke and Anakin had.
>>78437592
>not wearing Star Wars underwear
You are no true fan, begone from here!
>>78437599
Well considering when Episode VIII comes out he might have worked a little bit more already. It's not even 2 years until release.
>>78437592
I got a cool collectible microcomic with a 3d poster, the Star Wars-themed issue of Mad Magazine, a chocolate egg with a star wars little plastic head bust, a stormtrooper helmet coin bank, some star wars ornaments, and a dark blue Star Wars sweater.
Do you guys think we'll get Kyle Katarn AT ALL in Rogue One?
>>78437452
ah fuck it why not I'll type something for now
>I can feel it again. The prequels. Trying to seduce me again. Give me strength to resist they're musical scores and cinematography. Show me how to resist their world building and fun action sequences, just as you once did. Show me how to shut them away forever and embrace the power of the OT, like you, old friend. *camera pans to reveal a dusty bent up fedora as the imperial march slowly plays*
>>78437607
>Rey doesn't even have "being a whiny bitch" going for her like Luke and Anakin had.
>Implying this is a bad thing
The rots OST is seriously GOAT. Episode 7's pales in comparison. Pretty much every track is perfect
>>78437379
>>78437547
I guess the animation itself is fine, but the designs and textures are so weak in a lot of places. And I know that's a budget thing, but it's still tough to get past after TCW was so good. The Wookiees in S1 were so god awful.
>>78437719
TFA is easily the weakest soundtrack so far. Even the previous weakest soundtrack, AOTC, has a few good moments and one really good theme.
>>78437698
>Implying this is a bad thing
It is when it makes her into a non-character. I think I'll take that raging faggot Ren over her, because at the very least his outbursts and fucking up give him character over Rey, who seems to succeed at everything she does.
>>78437685
Nah, we already have Kyle Katarn, but he's been remixed some into Kanan.
>>78437769
No, TFA just had a bad mixing. TFA's OST has some great themes, like Rey's Theme, Snoke, and Torn Apart.
>>78437719
Well yeah rots is based in /almost/ every way.
>get to see Sheev's slam dunk
>dem space battles though
>Anakin and Obiwan as equals
>more world building and and Sith story time
>Jedi scum getting BTFO
>foundation of the glorious empire
>mustafar having telvanni mushroom towers
Only rebel scum fags would hate this movie.
>>78437801
Rey's theme was okay. Snoke's is barely recognizable as an actual theme. It's more ambient music than anything else.
>>78437801
People like Kyle though because he's basically what would happen if Han Solo turned into a Jedi Knight. He doesn't start as a Jedi.
>>78437719
Also, I don't really get why people are so obsessed with Anakins sand lines with Padme. It's poorly written, but the idea that anything that reminds of Tatooine brings him pain is a good insight into his character and his internal struggles. It's such a poor example of the shortcoming s of the prequels, and only really applies to the fact that George really really needed at least a screenwriter to help him, but more importantly a solid director. I really liked Kershners direction.
And no, I am not a prequel babby.
V > IV > VI > VII = III >> I > II
>>78437801
>Nah, we already have Kyle Katarn, but he's been remixed some into Kanan.
This. Hera is also essentially Jan.
>tfw Kanan and Ezra survive to join Luke in teaching the new Jedi only to get rekt by Kylo and his croanies.
>>78437852
Hera even shares a voice actor with Jan.
>>78437843
Which is why I said he's been remixed into Kanan. Not everything is going to transfer over.
>>78437843
>He doesn't start as a Jedi.
But the general audience doesn't want to see a whole season of him being just a random dude with a blaster. They want that Jedi action NOW.
>>78437779
She's qt tho
>>78437835
Kylo also barely has a theme, it's more fanfare than anything. Finn's theme (which I didn't even realize was a theme until I noticed it in the end credits track) is also really lazy.
>>78437845
Grasping at straws and focusing on passing moments of "meh" are the main things comedic reviews like plinkett's focused on, because jokes come easier from those. So of course they're mainly brought up by shitstirrers.
>>78437873
>Hera even shares a voice actor with Jan.
Just doesn't put out to Kanan like Jan does to Kyle.
>>78437910
Hell, I see people citing Dexter Jettster as a prominent example of things that went wrong in the prequels
>>78437899
She's Star Wars' Korra.
>>78437927
Dexster > Maz
>inb4 m-muh eyz
>>78437927
I don't see why people hate on him. Dexter's based.
>Obi-Wan!
>>78437988
Probably cause he works in a 50s diner, which makes no sense.
Then again a reggae band in the SW Universe makes no sense either, so I dunno.
>>78437719
Thats really my biggest dissapointment with TFA, I was hoping for a new Duel of the Fates. Its such a minor complaint tho, I feel bad making it
>>78437988
I like him but I feel like he should have been puppeteered
>>78438019
I wouldn't call it minor, the music has always been a huge part of the movies, and it just felt phoned in this time. It's not a BAD soundtrack, it's just not what you'd expect from a Williams Star Wars soundtrack.
>>78438010
>reggae
They're a Jyzz band.
>>78438022
I don't. There's no way they could've done it and had it look good.
>>78437928
Korra was a slut from the start. Rey is pure qt waifu material.
>>78437955
Maz is really only saved by having a good actor. Her role in the story is just to be a plot device and her design is kind of bland.
>>78438059
Jizz anon, its jizz
>>78438068
>implying she isn't all over that BBC after only knowing him two days tops
>>78436343
>He's absolutely right
>>78436269
>>78438068
Did you miss the scene where she's taking it from Unkar and three of his thugs at once? I bet you tuned it out because you couldn't stand the thought of your perfect waifu getting three-wayed by alien dicks for 15 and a half portions.
>>78438010
Yeah, and fuck the first movie for having a jazz band too.
Star Wars is a setting with room for all sorts of shit. And there was a good point someone raised a few weeks ago that George's nostalgia aside, the 50s diner also ties into some of that old 50s sci-fi aesthetic to some parts of Coruscant's skyline.
>>78438075
Where did she even go? It's like they literally forgot about her after Finn's encounter with TR-8R
>>78437910
They do nit pick at times, but I think the focus of plinkett's reviews are to point out the technical problems within the films (plot, character, tonal inconsistancies ect.)
>>78437845
Swap TFA and Jedi and thats basicly my list
>>78438115
I dunno if I would classify the Cantina band as Jazz. It just sounds weird enough to be alien, IMO.
>>78438116
She was supposed to return to D'Qar, but the scenes with here there were cut.
>>78437719
Speaking of that. Is it just me or is there a small part of Anakin's Dark Deeds in some of the scenes that involve Ren?
I think mainly the one where Han and him talk.
>>78438059
>>78438083
And Jizz is Space Jazz.
What would be a good funny name for Reggae that's also an awkward sexual reference?
>>78438116
I guess she found some place to hide in the ruins of her castle or something. According to Abrams she was going to follow them to D'Qar and hang out with them for the rest of the movie (which is where the shot of her handing the lightsaber to Leia from the trailer comes from) but they decided to drop that because she basically had nothing to do but sit around.
>>78438125
John Williams was literally told to create "An alien's interpretation of a Benny Goodman record they happened to find under a rock millions of years in the future" when composing the cantina music.
What moments do you want to happen in the next two films?
>>78438213
Kylo sucking Snoke off
>>78438146
Shyt
>>78438213
Kylo turning to the light, and Rey succumbing to the dark side.
Flip the switch.
>>78438213
The heros getting rekt, just to see how a "finished training" Kylo does and maybe have Snoke actually do shit. Oh and Hux taking the piss out of everyone. I dunno why but I love the guy.Also the return of TR-8R
>>78438125
Listen to the full track for the Cantina Band. It definitely has a lot of Jazz in it.
>>78438213
The inevitable space battle. Too bad we'll have to wait until 9 for it, since the big one doesn't happen until the last of the trilogy.
>>78438267
Yeah, it's designed to sound weirder than normal jazz but it's definitely jazz.
>>78438213
Kylo and Rey fucking. Incest is strong in that bloodline.
>>78438049
I mean it didnt lessen my enjoyment of the movie.
>>78438213
Rey and Kylo have to team up to do something and or kiss
>>78438195
Poetry is amazing
>>78438281
Let's just hope they leave it as a trilogy and don't get the funny idea of splitting 9 into two parts.
>>78438247
This. Make the reason for it that they fall in love with each other and it simultaneously redeems him and causes her to fall. Maximum pottery.
Tfw Hux keeps putting you on "babysitting duty"
Tfw no candy in armor today so if Kylo has an autistic fit I'm done for
>>78438281
Space battles are old news, my friend
They're just not fun
>>78438329
They could get away with it if the just name it X, at least. Too bad Star Wars is too linear in it's plot lines, so that we can't have a big culmination of all the plot threads from the three trilogies in 10.
>>78438335
So much God damn poetry.
>>78438345
I loved how those two troopers just NOPE'd the fuck out when they saw Kylo rage again. So much for conditioning, huh?
>>78438367
Good thing Dice isn't behind making the movies then :^)
>>78438382
They are conditioned for their job, which is not dealing with a raging edgelord.
>>78438213
Finn and Poe bromance
Finn being one of the First Order's top wanted men and Phasma chasing him
Snoke being a fucking giant tearing shit up, slicing X-Wings in half and shit.
Wonder if Star Wars X/The Next Trilogy is gonna have a time skip or just pick up after 9
>>78438370
It won't end though. Disney is gonna milk this for all it's worth. So you can look forward too trilogies upon trilogies and spin-off movies it will make the old EU look tame in comparision.
>>78438405
Also Lando
>>78438382
No one in the First Order really seems to respect Kylo
Well, Captain Phasma did, but she's trash tier
This guy walks into the club and slaps your Padawan's ass. What do you do?
Why do people complain about Rey being able to take out Kylo Ren as if Kylo Ren is on the same level as Darth Vader? He's a fucking 30-year-old manchild that still looks and acts like a teenager and was badly injured during the fight anyway. Rey taking him out is nowhere near if she were able to take Vader out.
>>78438420
I'd be fine with them ending the trilogies for a while after 9. We need more worldbuilding anthology films that don't happen during OT era.
>>78438448
Tell him that was weak and show him how to properly slap my Padawan's ass. Then tie him up and let my Padawan "have fun" with him.
>>78438420
I wouldn't mind Disney just pumping out spinoffs until the end of time.
>>78438094
>>78438109
Stop it! Stop! She's pure! Pure I tell you!
>>78438448
Find Huyang and fix his faulty logic circuits for letting that abomination be built on his watch.
>>78438447
>>78438507
>>78438094
I don't think Rey is going to go for Finn
Poor Finn is too much of a cuck
>>78438507
WIll you say the same after Kylo, Hux and Snoke had their turns on her?
>>78438447
Plz no bully Phasma
>>78438451
My problem was more that she was able to suddenly draw on force powers that other jedi had to train for years to use.
Also I was upset that Finn was such a chump. He really didn't get anything. Rey was the genius tech girl, that other guy was the ace pilot. I thought maybe Finn might get to win a single fight, but fuck he not only got wrecked by Ren, he got wrecked by that random storm trooper.
I hope he isn't such a bitch in future movies. And I hope they don't make Rey full mary sue. Because she kinda is one right now.
>>78438448
What is this abomination?
>>78438469
>>78438490
I'm hoping we'll get a older saga between IX and X (something like KOTOR)
>>78438448
Unsheathe my octuple bladed light saber and kill him.
>>78438536
Rey is totes a Mary Sue, and I love it cause I think they're gonna pull a Revan
>>78438542
See
>>78438515
Report to the engineering bay at once, you are in need of maintenance!
>>78438542
Leaked concept art for Light Side Kylo Ren
>>78438490
I'm excited about the possibilities of the Anthology movies if only because I want to see them go more out there as time goes on.
>>78438530
Why do you want to corrupt her anon? She's so adorable
>>78438448
It's like Kylo Ren's, Ezra's and the Inquistor's lightsabers had a horrible baby.
>>78438536
I hope Finn comes back with a vengeance.
"Rey,it's my turn to protect you."
>>78438536
Finn was the one that brought them all together and made their entire adventure remotely possible, arguably. Had Finn not done all he did, the Resistance and New Republic may very well be dead by now. He may not have anything technical to set him apart from the others, but he has the heart to make things work
Plus, the novel seems to suggest he may have a burgeoning Force sensitivity, so we might see something on that front
>>78438595
>Salacious Crumb: A Star Wars Story
>>78438549
If LSG can bring more things from that era into play with Kylo and Snoke, or the ST in general, I think it would fit nicely.
>>78438569
I assure you, that *thing* was not built under my supervision.
I will disassemble it at once!
>>78438626
Ahsoka looks like she's having a nice orgasm here.
>>78438609
The movie itself seemed to say that he was force sensitive when Ren and his master were talking about him.
>>78438625
We've already got a lot of KotOR elements in Uprising. Such as the Cantina music for KotOR's I and II, the recycling of the Ebon Hawk and general all around feel of the game strongly resonating with KotOR vibes -because- the developers took inspiration from KotOR
Whats the recommended reading list for the canon star wars comics coming out now?
>>78438609
>>78438658
He'll be the one to bring Rey back to the light after she goes full Edgelord
He'll die but she'll tell him that she loves himas a friend
>>78438691
All of them have been good so far, but Princess Leia is pretty boring.
>>78438672
I was thinking more of the plot details and state of the galaxy, instead of superfluous things like that.
>>78438698
>I love you-
>I know
>...as a friend
>Oh. Yeah I knew that.
>>78438650
You'd be amazed at what a Droid can do
>>78438405
Is Phasma even gonna turn up in the next movies?
Is the Old Republic worth getting into for a month or two?
I hear it's really fun with a sub.
>>78438723
Its confirmed she is gonna have a bigger role in the next movie
>>78438723
She's been confirmed to appear in the next movie, so she's alive
Prepare forPunished Phasma
>>78438723
>>78438730
After betraying the New Order so easily, I wonder if she's gonna go full Bounty Hunter.
>>78438725
Well its pretty alright as far as MMOs go.
And a two month sub should be enough time to play one character through to the end.
Though you might wanna wait a few months until all of the current expac is out.
Or just get it now and then resub when the rest comes out.
The cool thing is A:each class has a unique story line which is what you will spend most of your leveling time doing. and B:you can be light or dark sided regardless of whether you are Imperial or Republic, so you can be a light sided sith wizard or a dark sided republic soldier.
>>78438725
With a sub, eh I guess
Without a sub, absolutely not
Now's the best time to play though, since the exp boost can pretty much make you hit max on the first couple planets
>>78438755
Neat. I hear Imperial Agent is a lot of fun.
>>78438723
>>78438750
Kek she'll probably be a depressed alcoholic with a rotten banana peel on top of her head
>>78438773
Honestly I think all the imperial classes are pretty great. But Agent is definitely one of the best.
>>78438725
I play it a lot and there's a bunch of people who play it in /vg/ plus since tyhe new movie came out there's been an influx of players so yeah get a 60 day time card and have fun
>imperial agent is the best route to play
So that trooper that Rey mind tricked was Daniel Craig, right?
>>78438672
Wait they recycled the Ebon Hawk? Where?
>>78438725
Did you like KotOR 1 and 2?
then no
Just want to play an eh MMO?
sure.
>>78438826
Apparently
I guess after Kylo Ren stopped being General Hux's wingman at the bar, he's Ben Solo.
>>78438839
I actually hear the new Twin storyline is really fucking good.
>>78438877
booooo
>>78438826
>>78438851
Yep, the voice and body language gave it away. Especially at the "I'm dropping my blaster" part.
His designation is apparentöy JB-007 too
>>78438877
MMMMM
FUNNY JOKE!
>>78438901
It sucks that he's probably dead. Even if he was a faceless stormtrooper, he's still fucking James Bond in a Star Wars film
>That feel when riot trooper was more ride or die than Captain fuckin' Phasma.
>>78438973
I remember when he did that fucking move before the fight, at least 6 people in my theater lost their shit and started laughing.
>>78438973
>Yfw Riot Trooper was a more interesting character than Captain Phasma
First Order Stormtroopers > Clone Troopers > OT Stormtroopers
Can we all agree?
>>78438888
Yeah but that's because it's designed as a singleplayer RPG
the new selling point is that you can play an MMO in singleplayer.
>>78438997
0/10
CT, FOT, ST
>>78438997
Aside from Tray Tor, the FO Stormtroopers were pretty meh to me.
>>78438939
Who knows. If Hux and Phasma had enough time to get off the planet then he did too.
>>78438997
No. Clones still managed to hit shit that fought back.
>>78438973
>mfw a future comic/novel/whatever shows the relationship between Finn, Riot Trooper and the trooper who died in Finn's arms
>>78438973
>>78438994
His designation was TR-8R, but everyone just called him Tray Tor.
>>78438927
you were funnier with Jontron
>>78439030
>It's a gay love triangle.
>>78439030
>They were all friends
>They ate together

If that means Finn and Poe hit it off I'm game.
>>78439030
There actually was a prequel comic that dealt with Finn and dead trooper.
Dead Trooper was a member of Finn's squad who always lagged behind and had to get his ass carried to victory by Finn. They were friends.

No, he's unidentified. TR-8R is a fan name too.

>>78439030
Before the Awakening sort of does that. The trooper who died was Slip, who was kind of a fuckup trooper that Finn was constantly helping out during training. Phasma kept getting on him for that because the First Order doesn't want weak troopers and if Slip can't cut it it's better to let him fail than to waste time helping him.
The riot trooper instantly recognized him, so he probably does know Finn.

Why does TOR have to exist? The original KOTOR is probably my favorite SW story overall, and KOTOR 2, as incomplete as it is, is a close second. But the indroduction of TOR took all that interesting lore and turned it into vague MMO bullshit.
Those shiny silver sith uniforms are still fucking rad looking btw

I didn't expect to like Finn and Poe's bromance
But god damn.

I thought it was kinda interesting how they made lightsabers less fatal. Lots of flesh wounds that didn't cut off anything or kill.

I don't understand how anyone could prefer 1 over 2 honestly.
It's just so...standard Star Wars.
I mean it's not bad, but it's really by the numbers. 2 has ACTUAL moral complexity that isn't "the sith dindu nuffin" and "those Jedi right? Huge dicks." Which is most of the EU when they tried that.
>>78439953
I played KotOR 1 and 2 for the first time in 2013 and ended up loving both. In the last couple of years actually I've played a number of great games that people claim to have "aged poorly". Most of the time, I just see that as a person's way to just flat out avoid saying "I just don't like playing old games".
>>78439810
Wait till you see what Snoke is going to do to "complete his training"

Bull. Shit.
If I can see the seem in every characters face where they mirrored the texture, the game's aged bad.
>>78440074
Y'know what, this was really fun.
Small gripe with how Finn inexplicably does a 180 on the First Order, seeing as he was supposed to have been indoctrinated since childhood, and is suddenly ok with all his friends he grew up with getting 'sploded.

Made especially weird since Heir to the Jedi went out of its way to show that Luke couldn't do it. He tries it by doing the hand movement, but it fails and he realizes he's just imitating Ben and has no idea how the trick is actually meant to be pulled off.
>>78440170
>Small gripe with how Finn inexplicably does a 180 on the First Order, seeing as he was supposed to have been indoctrinated since childhood, and is suddenly ok with all his friends he grew up with getting 'sploded.
I think they were indoctrinated Nazi style- to believe they were morally right. It's when they have to fire on unarmed civilians that he questions it. Also, having his comrade actually die on him resulted in an unforseen breakdown. There's always one guy who doesn't do so well in his first firefight.
Also he says that he didn't want to kill *for the first order*, not that he didn't want to kill at all.
And he;s really more interested in running away than fighting... until Rey gets kidnapped.
>>78437845
>Also, I don't really get why people are so obsessed with Anakins sand lines with Padme.
Nerds don't like a virgin teen spilling spaghetti and being all around awkward when a 9/10 much older woman starts hitting on him either because it strikes too close too home, or because their idea of romantic dialogue is based on Hollywood.
>>78440385
Who said that Jedi take years to learn how to do that?
>>78440469
It's hard to imagine that someone who until earlier that day thought Jedi were a myth and had no idea of her own Force powers would know how to do that.
>>78440453
I dunno, most people's idea of romance in Star Wars revolves around high tension situations mixed with witty banter, not 30-minute cringe escapades in space Italy.
>>78440411
She was in Kylo's brain, so she probably copied what he did to her. It also took her a few tries and she had to meditate for it to work too.
Actually, every time we see her use a force power she has to stop and meditate before consciously using it. Force pull is excused as we didn't see her on screen until she was already pulling it. I think everything she does Kylo does before her and in her view.
Also Luke was able to use the force after apparently one lesson where he wore a dumb helmet on his face and got zapped by a floaty ball while waving around his glow stick. I think Obi-wan just needs some quick entertainment.
>>78440022
>It's just so...standard Star Wars.
Gee, I wonder what people want from their Star Wars game.
No, seriously, KotOR I is the sole true heir to the OT, among all Star Wars media. Now most certainly incluiding Ep.VII.
>2 has ACTUAL moral complexity
Huge parts of 2 are written like babby's first exercise in nihilism, and from Avellone's interviews it seems that any actual depth in the story was accidental.
Plus, it shits on your achievements in the first game (it's rather karmic that its own legacy got assraped in TOR).
>>78440501
I think it's clear that Rey is meant to be something special in regards to the Force. According to Pablo, she's the awakening that Snoke felt (and the line "it is you" is referring to that, not to him knowing her from somewhere). Still, that mind trick seems like something she'd have to learn how to do, not something she would be able to learn automatically. All of the other stuff she does I can buy, even her resistance to Kylo's mental probing, but using the Jedi mind trick that easily is kind of stupid.
>>78440509
>revolves around high tension situations mixed with witty banter, not 30-minute cringe escapades in space Italy.
Well, good then that Ep.2 focused on the former rather than the latter?
>>78440564
>No, seriously, KotOR I is the sole true heir to the OT

>It's hard to imagine that someone who until earlier that day thought Jedi were a myth and had no idea of her own Force powers would know how to do that.
But she knows who Luke Skywalker is. She knows what Jedi are. She knows the stories. She thought they were made up, but she knows them.
If - tomorrow- you learned Jedi were a real thing and you were one of them, wouldn't you try push/pull, mind trick, and every other thing you could think of too? Especially if your life was in danger?
Or would you just not bother?
>>78440650
How would I know how it even works?
>>78440650
If tomorrow you told me magic was real, would I then suddenly know how to turn someone into a frog?
>>78440642
What? No. It's literally the most popular theory at the moment
>>78440642
That's a theory I've seen floating around. That she is a survivor of Luke's Academy, and he wiped her mind to protect her after the Knights came to slaughter all the Jedi.
That is, supposedly, why Luke is so speechless at the end of the movie.
>>78440711
I think any theory that has "b-but amnesia! memory wipe!" as a central component is a theory not worth listening to
>>78440697
>If tomorrow you told me magic was real, would I then suddenly know how to turn someone into a frog?
If that's how magic works. Nobody told Luke how to "use the force", but that didn't stop him from doing it in ANH or ESB before he met Yoda.
>>78440735
I'd usually agree with you, except there is genuine evidence here. Kylo somehow knowing her, and Luke's reaction is telling. However Rey doesn't seem to know either of them, outside of legends about Luke?
I personally think that maybe, just maybe, that part of her vision, with Luke at the campfire? Perhaps it's just after the Knights have slaughtered the Jedi, Luke and Rey are the only people left. It's the last time she was with Luke before he wiped her memory maybe? I don't know.
I don't particularly believe that theory anymore than the one about Kylo being like Severus Snape (actually a good guy doing horrible things so that he can legitimately bring balance to the force)
>>78440781
... Obi-Wan literally says "Use the Force" haha. And it was just a gut feeling thing, I guess. The books/comics they've put out this year have put quite a bit of focus into how he learned certain Force Powers before he met Yoda (like the Telekinesis he does)
>>78440697
>If tomorrow you told me magic was real, would I then suddenly know how to turn someone into a frog?
You do know that this is pretty much how it works in tons of fiction, right? A character discovers they can use magic and starts casting spells. They may not know every spell and use them all without fail, but they can usually do a handful of things even before they begin formal training.
Doubly so if they're the main character.
>>78440823
>The books/comics they've put out this year have put quite a bit of focus into how he learned certain Force Powers before he met Yoda (like the Telekinesis he does)
You mean the comics/books that didn't even exist when the movie was actually written?
That's like saying that when they wrote ESB, they always knew that Anakin used to have a padawan named Ashoka and a disciple named Starkiller.
>>78436545
is /co/ for the big?
>>78440735
Considering the plot threads the new trilogy keeps borrowing from the EU (e.g. Jaina and Jacen Solo copies, star-fed super weapons in the unknown regions of the galaxy), it wouldn't be a surprise to steal KOTOR's twist element.
>>78440869
Oh I know. It's just retroactive character development and world building. Lucas preffered to jump right into the action, didn't like showing how people get from A to B. He explains that is the reason why he started with Episode 4. His original intention was that he would never even do 1-3. He just wanted audiences to know that they're jumping right into the action with characters and a world that is already built. He made notes about the events of 1-3, but those were just private things for him to come back too later, which eventually of course he did, when he decided that he would do the Prequels.
But much like how he started at Episode 4, the gaps between the OT leave a lot of questions. Hell, at the start of Heir to the Jedi, the author explains that it was that very question, "How did Luke learn to levitate the lightsaber?" that led to a book set after ANH showing him practicing Jedi skills over a long period of time.
So it's not like this is a new thing, it was always supposed to be assumed that Luke developed over a long time through various means.
Whereas Rey explicitly figured it out on her third try. UNLESS the theory about her being a trained Jedi with amnesia is true, then it makes more sense.
>>78440823
>Kylo somehow knowing her
Apparently he doesn't actually know her, but is just realizing that she's the awakening Snoke is referring to. At least this is what Pablo implied on Twitter after being asked about the "it is you" thing from the novelization (he says the line's in the movie but I don't remember it).
>>78440935
No, we were made by the Presbyterian Church
>>78440564
>Plus, it shits on your achievements in the first game
To be fair it'd be very difficult to make a sequel to a game where the endings were as dramatically different from each other as is without making two different games for each ending. Plus beyond the simple "Revan is male/female and was a good/bad person" choices at the beginning of the game I guess they felt obligated for some reason to avoid having to deal with determinant characters/plot points beyond the most significant because "what if the player didn't do _______ in their game?" (the mention of Ajunta Pall's force ghost being redeemed by Revan is one of the only big examples I can think of at the moment that defies that logic). KotOR II would've really benefited from a save transfer sysem of some kind, though considering how rushed the game was Obsidian couldn't have possibly had enough time to implement something like that.
>>78441000
I remember him saying something along the lines of "I know more about you than you do" I think? That gave me amnesia vibes for sure, but I brushed it off because I thought there would be an explanation in the movie later on. But there wasn't.
Again, not saying I am in favor of this amnesia theory, but it definitely has credit based on the information we got in the movie.
>>78440969
>>Oh I know. It's just retroactive character development and world building. Lucas preffered to jump right into the action, didn't like showing how people get from A to B.

He made notes about the events of 1-3, but those were just private things for him to come back too later, which eventually of course he did, when he decided that he would do the Prequels.
But we didn't have that explanation when we first saw the movie. You just had to accept the fact that Luke could do it.
>Whereas Rey explicitly figured it out on her third try. UNLESS the theory about her being a trained Jedi with amnesia is true, then it makes more sense.
Wouldn't that just mean that there's some retroactive explanation we just haven't heard yet?
The elaboration on how Luke learning the Jedi Mind Trick (among other things) came out nearly a decade after Return of the Jedi.
You just may not get your answer until 10 years from now.
>>78441000
So if Rey's Mary Sue-ness isn't justified through amnesia, then it's through some gift that's yet to be explained? This makes me wonder if that whole rumor about the knights of Ren being predecessors of Jedi and Sith who waited for a "chosen one" reincarnate of their ruler King Ren was true. After all, Rey is Latin for "King." This could be why Kylo and Snoke are so drawn to her.
>>78438773
The Imperial Agent is so fun because it doesn't really have a counterpart character in the films. Most of the other classes do. For example, Sith Assassins are clearly based on Maul, sorcerers on Sheev, guardians on Obi-Wan, smugglers on Han, etc. But there isn't really a secret agent character in the movies. Even in the EU, espionage in the Star Wars universe has never really been explored. It felt really fresh.
the only reason i dont watch rebels is because of the thin ass punk bitch lightsabers.

>>78440711

>>78441066
>Wouldn't that just mean that there's some retroactive explanation we just haven't heard yet?
Yes, but only if the amnesia thing is true. If it's not, we're going to have to accept that she was able to learn the mind trick faster than (probably) any Jedi ever. Because the movie hasn't left much room for another explanation. Whereas ESB has the entire gap from the last movie for Luke to learn things.
>>78441116
I don't like them either, but they're barely in the show. They usually dont take out their Lightasabers, unless the rare Inquisitor shows up. Because keeping your connection to the Jedi a secret is kind of a big deal post-RotS
>>78441072
It's possible. There's apparently something special about Rey that even she doesn't realize. Snoke seems to think so if Pablo's implication is true, by extension Kylo would also think so. Maz is also thinking along those lines, since she feels that the Skywalker lightsaber was calling to her and that she's meant to have it. Maybe Luke also realizes what she is? Maybe he's even been waiting for her, too.
Hell, maybe he knew that someone special would eventually come to him with that lightsaber. Maybe that's why he never left, because the Force told him that this special person would come looking for him there and he knew he had to be there when they arrived, mirroring what Rey had previously been trying to do on Jakku.
>>78441125
Unless there's another name for the trope, probably never.
>>78441151
>Maybe that's why he never left, because the Force told him that this special person would come looking for him there and he knew he had to be there when they arrived, mirroring what Rey had previously been trying to do on Jakku.
Holy shit
>>78441139
She definitely acts more like a Kenobi than a Skywalker. Every Skywalker has been pretty wreckless and brash, but Rey is a calm hermit.
>>78441159
why do people get mad over rey being so special when the last two protags (luke, ani) were also very special?
>>78441174
obi-wan spoke to her when she had her little flashback, so i hope he's her gramps.
>>78441174
Her angry outbursts, especially near the end, seemed more like TPM-Obi pottery than ANH-Luke pottery, surprisingly enough, considering how much of the movie is borrowed from ANH.
>>78441225
Question is, who would her grandmother be? It's obviously not Satine.
>>78441185
Probably because she's the most mysterious of the protags. I mean, knowing how to mind trick people just begs us to ask, "How'd she know that? Who is she?" I don't have a problem with her being talented, but it does make me eager to know why she knows certain things that are only obtained through experience.
>>78441185
The general feel is that she's "too special, too fast" and didn't fuck up enough compared to Anakin and Luke. She nailed it on the head very quickly most of the time.
I'm personally brushing it off as "the force helped" personally, although movies are far more interesting when you see the protagonist struggle a lot first.
>>78441226
Hell she even has a similar accent and speech inflections to Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan.
>>78441145
>Yes, but only if the amnesia thing is true. If it's not, we're going to have to accept that she was able to learn the mind trick faster than (probably) any Jedi ever. Because the movie hasn't left much room for another explanation.
She could have amnesia. Or the Force may work differently than you've been led to believe and is more intuitive than you think. Or she received more in her vision than just images of the past and future. Or she had felt an inkling when Kylo reached into her mind and she reached back into his.
We won't know for sure until the next movie or some book/comic written some time from now invents a retroactive explanation.
Until then, we just have to accept it like we accept all the other kind of inexplicable stuff that happens in the other movies before they get elaborated upon in EU material.
>>78441244
to be fair she's the only who ended up captured because she was too attached to a dead-end desert shitball of a planet.
>>78441244
>I'm personally brushing it off as "the force helped" personally
That's certainly an interesting idea that has been played with in Star Wars before: that the force isn't just a tool., but also has a will and goals of its own and is willing to manipulate mortals in order to accomplish them.
That's a large part of why Kreia wanted to destroy it in KOTOR 2.
>>78441269
i like the "she learns how to use the force intuitevily by example" theory better than the amnesia one.
idk about you guys, but i liked how she picked up things when they were used against her.
>>78441299
I fucking love space Nietzche.
I took the girl I like and her niece and nephew to see the new movie. All three of them knew who certain characters were through pop culture but I don't think any of them have watched the original trilogy movies. The nephew was so blown away (he's 7) and wanted to be Poe so he could to an X wing and the niece (12) loved Rey so much because of how good at everything she was even though she was a girl and I believe that resonated with her. The lady friend I took really enjoyed the movie and asked if I would ever dress up as a stormtrooper because she thinks the armor is sexy. OH, and everybody loved BB-8.
All in all, JJ nailed the kid demographic and was able to appeal to newcomers to the franchise while keeping older fans like me satisfied and wanting more.
>>78441260
>Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan.
Only saving grace of the prequels if you ask me.
I wouldn't mind him returning as a force ghost.
>>78441275
Thats true, people seem to forget this, probably because of the ease in which she escaped again.
>>78441269
I agree, this is one of the things that we can't really discuss in full with the little information we have. It'll be much more interesting to discuss when Episode 8 is out and we know exactly what went down with Luke.
>>78441299
Yeah. The force helped Luke in ANH, before he started learning how to use it properly himself.
>>78441321
I don't think they could do it sadly, it wouldnt fit into Canon because of the OT Obi-Wan Ghost, which they are never ever going to change. But if he can return in other ways (Holocron, disembodied voice, ect) I'd be ok with it. I also want that Obi-Wan movie. It'd be a million times more interesting to me than Han Solo, or even Rogue One.
>>78441325
it also helped ani too, as he was a GOAT 10 year old pod racer.
(im not gonna mention the whole force spawning him bullshit because that was dumb)

Pretty much. It was very "safe", but they needed it to be. They needed everyone who saw it, young and old, to say "hey, that was alright", or else nobody would stick around for the next 4+ films they have already started working on.
They'll probably get bolder and more surprising as the movies go on, and the fans get hooked in for life. They're probably looking at the Marvel Superhero movies as an example of this.
But as is, TFA was certainly an enjoyable starting point to jumpstart the future of the franchise.

>Pretty much. It was very "safe", but they needed it to be. They needed everyone who saw it, young and old, to say "hey, that was alright", or else nobody would stick around for the next 4+ films they have already started working on.
Exactly.
People were burned by the PT and putting the franchise in the hands of a totally new team led to a lot questions as to whether or not they could make a film in the "Star Wars" style.
They proved that they can. People got their OT fan wank and got to learn what happened to the OT characters- just like the end of Revenge of the Sith devoted lots of time to killing off all the new PT characters and setting stuff up for the OT characters/ships and style.
>>78441339
>I don't think they could do it sadly, it wouldnt fit into Canon because of the OT Obi-Wan Ghost, which they are never ever going to change
I dunno. There's nothing to say ghosts can't change their appearance, I don't think too many people would have a problem with Ewan as a ghost. Maybe have him appear briefly as Alec Guinness and then morph into his younger self.

You've just convinced me that it could work and be great.
Digitally add Guiness, use clever camera trickery to hide his face when he talks (voiced by another actor obviously) and then have Ewan show up for the remainder of the appearance.
As long as the cameo had reason, I'd like it.
We were talking a little while about about the Ghost of Anakin communicating and trying to reason with Kylo.
What if the Ghost of Obi-Wan is mirroring this by trying to guide Rey?
And Yoda shows up to Luke to guide him in being a better teacher maybe? Because he has probably given up after what happened to his students.
Yeah, I dunno'... This could work... I like Force Ghosts, always have.

They proved the opposite. The actual "Star Wars style" that differentiated every installment before TFA from other blockbuster was showing us something new and pushing boundaries of what can be done in a film with every episode. This is entirely absent from TFA.

You are extremely naive if you think that the next two movies won't be point-by-point remakes of Episodes V and VI. MCU at the very least strongly suggest that Disney never stops playing safe, at least until the movie-goers revolt. Now they have seen that nostalgiafaggotry is the single most important factor for critical success of a SW movie, and it lines up their pockets nicely as well. And there is no way in hell they are going to allow any sort originality in Eps VIII and IX.

Because ANH had monsters killing gangsters, and a crash landing on a snowy planet with a final duel with a dark sider, right?
Oh wait, it didn't.
>b-b-but those were still ripped from 5 and 6
So the complaint is a Star Wars movie has scenes inspired and/or reminiscent of those from several other Star Wars movies? So it's not a ripoff of ANH its a Star Wars movie with some call backs. Which is bad because...? The PT did this. I think ROTJ and ESB did it too, although less often. Call a spade a spade or no one will listen to your complaint, valid or not. If it relies on callbacks too much, say that. Don't call it a ripoff of a singular movie, because it isn't. That fact will disarm any weight your argument had, and it'll be ignored as baseless whining. I agree too many call backs would be bad, but I felt they worked fine. They aren't inherently a bad thing, but too many for the story to be coherent would be. But it is coherent, so they're at most annoying. If that's all it takes to ruin it for you, then that's on you, not the movie.
Get over yourself if that's what's wrong. If it's something else, cool, but it's still on you. Don't blame a painting because you didn't like it as much as someone else. You didn't like it, that's what that means. If you think your opinion is THE opinion, you're an egotist.
I wonder how much genuine care Sheev had for Anakin.
>>78440074
>Battlefront: Expectations.
>>78442000
If you cannot see that not only TFA reuses ANH plot structure, it is so lazy that it must reproduce specific scenes from ANH, from the stormtroopers massacring civilians in search of a droid, to the mentor allowing the dark knight to kill himself while the main cast watches, to the trench run, then you must have your eyes fucking checked.
Even real, downright, honest-to-God remakes, like (if we're talking about space opera) Space Battleship Yamato 2199 routinely have more differences from the original material.
>Because ANH had monsters killing gangsters,
In TFA that was filler with no bearing on the overall story, something that did not exist in ANH.
>and a crash landing on a snowy planet
Window dressing that does not change the fact that the final mission was still to destroy a death star, same as before.
>with a final duel with a dark sider, right?
Oh wait, it didn't.
Actually yes, yes it did. Check your eyes again, you must have missed that the ANH ended with Luke vs Vader. Except that was resolved in a way that made sense.
Is Kylo Ren the new Anakin? WHen i say that i mena the prequel anakin.
>>78442000
>It's not 100% identical to ANH, so clearly it's completely different
>>78442035
Close to zero, though according to Lucas the moment where he puts his hand on crispy Anakin's forehead on Mustafar is the only moment of actual compassion Palpatine shows in the movies.
>>78442103
Sort of? They have similarities on the surface, but their stories are pretty different.
>>78438213
I honestly want to see a rehash of the ESB bounty hunter scene
>>78441857
>yfw he is Canon, but his death is not
>>78441299
And how about this, the less force users around the more of a passive buff they get from the force. I'd even go so far as to say that its a light side only thing. The only caveat here is that Anakin is supposed to be the chosen one and is naturally adept as a result. Prequels had ton's of jedi, the young Jedi (barring Anakin) are not particularly adept. Originals had two masters lurking about the universe, Luke is able to use the force a bit by calming himself and allowing it to help him. Current trilogy just has Luke existing so things come much easier for Rey.
Inversely maybe the amount of force ghosts can have an effect on this passive assistance. Prequels: no force ghosts
Originals: one to four gradually as time goes on
New trilogy: Four right off the bat
Y'know, even though it's not canon anymore I think they really fucked up the Old Republic.
As it is right now, shit like KOTOR is pretty much identical to Return of the Jedi in terms of setting.
If I were doing the OId Republic, I'd have it so that there were no blasters, only melee weapons. The only firearms are ship canons and large turrets.
>>78442182
Hell, in the prequels, Yoda and Mace talk about their diminishing ability to use the force.
>>78442191
Yeah, that makes more sense with Obi's "A weapon from a more civilized time" thing. The way he refers to blasters and lightsabers hints on the idea that blasters are relatively recent.
>>78442191
That, or the majority of firearms aren't blasters but use actual bullets.

And on a semi-related note, ESB is the only movie where no major characters die.
>>78442555
Han Solo did die on the technicality that he asked for the Carbonite scene to happen so he could be killed off (he wasn't originally going to return for 6)

Could someone help me understand what the political state in TFA was supposed to be ? How come the Republic needed to rely on "Resistants" to fight the First Order ? Is there a reason to it or was it just so the heroes could be the underdog ?
>>78443475
Empire Remnants and New Republic both can't control the entirety of the galaxy so they each have their territories. There's some sort of truce or ceasefire. New republic can't openly combat the Empire remnants so they fund the resistance movement secretly somehow.
This is my understanding.
>>78443391
Just over once per day, sounds like it could be one person posting their opinion repeatedly.
>>78443475

>Even a quick recap in the opening credits could have done it for me.
I managed to figure out just using the FO scenes and the OP crawl. I got confirmation of what I knew online though.
The FO is a lot smaller than the The Republic but the Republic is mostly demilitarized.

New Republic beats the Empire's ass at Jakku. They sign a peace treaty that says the Empire can't produce it's military anymore, and the NR will demilitarize 90%.
Empire goons that can't take no for an answer flee to Unknown Regions to regroup with the Hux clan.
NR knows the First Order is active but is doing fuck-all to stop them because muh peace
Leia breaks away from the Senate to make the Resistance, and recruits people out of the NR that know the FO is a problem.
They have to fund the Resistance themselves, or hope some Senators that believe the FO is a problem will donate money/ships/whatever else to the cause.
NR doesn't sanction the Resistance, but it doesn't bother shutting it down either.

She's not pure like Rey. She takes it up the butt from all the x-wing pilots. You take your slut and get out of here.
>>78443686
Here's the opening text in full:
"Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the Empire and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi, has been destroyed.
With the support of the REPUBLIC, General Leia Organa leads a brave RESISTANCE. She is desperate to find her brother Luke and gain his help in restoring peace and justice to the galaxy.
Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where an old ally has discovered a clue to Luke’s whereabouts…."
>>78444319
Why did the First Order even need to destroy Skywalker if they have successfully built a Death Star and wiped the Republic?
>>78443686
In one of the books this is talked about. Basically the republic demilitarized after they felt the remnants of the Empire were no longer a threat. Leia warned that this was a bad move and the first order was too dangerous but this just turned her into an unpopular outcast politically.
The first order has basically just been chilling on the edges of space since then, gather power but never doing anything that would draw too much attention from the republic. Leia formed her own group to monitor them and the republic lends her some support but not much, mostly they care more about economic policies than wars.
>>78444349
First Order bosses are Dark Siders, it's pretty much a given they'd fear the last Jedi if he ever spread his teachings.
>>78444349
Snoke and Kylo are the ones running the FO, just like how Palpatine and Vader ran the Empire. The behind-the-curtain goal is to remove all Jedi, while keeping up the military aspect of the FO as a cover. Kylo failed to do this at the academy massacre, so that's why he wanted the map.
>>78444362
And I think some of those policies have to deal with grievances from former Separatists, so they basically have a double problem: stopping old imperials and stopping worlds from seceding, again. The Senate just chose to focus on the latter than the former.
>>78444349
Because the Starkiller was a narrative blunder
>>78437843
>People like Kyle though because he's basically what would happen if Han Solo turned into a Jedi Knight
Yeah, that's fucking stupid. It tries to mix two disparate archetypes and fucks both of them hard in the process.
Rebels is far from a great show but Kanan is a more successful attempt at a Kyle-esque character from the get-go. Probably because Kanan was created with it in mind while Kyle just started as a guy with a gun and was forced into a Jedi later to sell video games. Jedi Knight could have been about an entirely new character but they went with Kyle for no reason.

There is a lot of disinformation about this shit right now because some fucktard made a video about Star Wars games recently, bringing up a lot of bullshit as "facts", and I've seen said "facts" resurfacing on /tv/.
First and foremost, a lot of the "they're friends!" and "Darth Icky" stuff was typical Lucas humor. If Dave was with him, it would have been more apparent, even Dave has said how Lucas's humor can go over a lot of peoples heads if they don't know him closely enough. Lucas never explains his jokes either, he just says things, chuckles to himself, and moves on.
I don't for a second believe "Darth Icky" or TalonXMaul were things Lucas legitimately wanted, it sounds more like developers being confused as fuck by Lucas's weird humor. For starters, Lucas would never have even allowed Starkiller to get a "Darth" title.
As for the Maul game, I saw that AMA, and it didn't seem like Lucas had remotely anything to do with its cancellation. The game was always going to be a post-TCW story, as evident by the Death Watch Mandalorians. It was the developers who are trying to re-pitch it as an origin story to connect into TCW instead, rather than expand out of it.
Seriously, fuck that video that is bringing up all this misinformation again. I don't know how people are so easily believing that George is destroying videogames by showing up at meetings and suggesting joke ideas.

>>78446277
>durr vader is killing kids, choking his beloved

>>78446299
It's like you don't understand whst overwhelming anger does to a mind. Not to mention that falling victim to cosmic irony and karmic backlash are the primary consequences of falling to the Dark Side
>>78446299
Well the killing kids makes sense, it was just executed bad. Or rather, the pacing was off. Happens way too quickly after his "IT'S NOT THE JEDI WAY!" scene.
But the reason for it was there; He was willing to do anything to save Padmé. That makes perfect sense.
What DOESN'T make sense is, after all that, choking her out of anger.
You could argue that the dark side warps your mind, and makes you do stupid aggressive shit. Same thing happened to Vos in Dark Disciple.

I loved the characters, humor, pacing, sets, and costumes. The plot was kind of weak, the music was kind of weak (but I think people will end up remembering it after they see it more times like what happened to the prequel music), Rey was kind of weak too since I understood her arc of growing to trust people, but it went down the shitter when she just trusted Finn without a second thought after she found out he was First Order. Also a very minor gripe but I think they miscasted the officer who had to tell Kylo they lost BB-8. I really can't imagine that kid from Game of Thrones as a First Order officer. I thought he was going to hold in him being First Order for longer too. But I did like the humor, it was funny but didn't feel like an Avengers movie where it has to have a joke constantly take you out of the drama (though the 'so who's gonna talk first' joke at the beginning of the movie had me worried about this). I also loved how they explained how BB-8 will end up traversing over things with the wires since I was wondering that from the moment they revealed her.
people are so hung up on rey its crazy
probably because they called her out on being a poor character, people agreed and said "and?", as if that ruins the movie

Whoops, I didn't mean to place that First Order officer sentence in that section. It should have read like:

Was Legacy the last episode of season 2? When are there gonna be more?
>>78445665
Well there you go, epic.
>>78446693
It's on holiday break, with all the other fucking shows that are on air.

It's on hiatus until January because of Xmas programming.

Going from "He must stand trial, it's not the Jedi way" to "MURDER ALL THE CHILDREN" in like 10 minutes is a little off you would have to say
>>78446792
>"He must stand trial, it's not the Jedi way"
It was a selfish move by Anankin to save his wife by learning the secret from Sidious, though. He's not being honest here.
Also after Windu went out of the window Anakin went into trance or something.
>>78445274
But what are the TFA husbando rankings?
>>78446792
He was never enthusiastic about attacking the Jedi Temple, so I assumed he just did it because Palpatine gave him the order, begrudgingly. It was too soon for him to go from Jedi perspective to doing Sith-tier things and being okay with it.
>>78446856
Unkar Plutt > everyone else
>>78446856
bb-8 my husbando
>>78446837
Even if he's not being honest, the idea of keeping him alive is the noteworthy thing for Jedi to do even if he should have died and it still does feel jarring to go to immediate child murderer so quickly.
>>78446903
Anakin only goes to murder the Jedi Temple so easily because he was under the control of the Dark Side. Since he doesn't know how to properly control its power, it had consumed him. The Dark Side makes you act irrationally and do irrational things if you cannot properly control it. Which is why Anakin acts so strangely after Sidious en-christens him "Darth Vader". Anakin is under the influence of the Dark Side.
Anakin enjoyed a brief moment of clarity after he cut of Windu's arm, but he was also at his weakest point. Sidious took the opportunity to firmly take hold of Anakin with the Dark Side, luring him in.

I was looking at Luke's ROTJ light saber the other day and it got me thinking, is it actually that functional?
It has the switch thingy right in the middle of the handle how do you use two hands on it properly?
Late I know but I've been getting into Lords of the Sith recently. Just at the bit whereVader and Sheev have been downed and both of them are deflecting ship blasters back at the ship. Cool as fuck. Sheev is so based
>>78447177
Also,the idea of a Clone being cryogenically frozen is fanfiction tierand I love it.
>>78444877
You're equating "protagonist" with "mary sue", you dumb fuck.
Was anyone else dissapointed with the weapon design in TFA?
I was hoping for modified Vietnam era weaponry
>>78447347
The baton stick was the most memorable weapon desu
>>78447347
Nope. TFA's weaponry actually seemed like fine progression of tech.
>>78446596
Some people are smart enough not to think in binary. Finn had her back, no questions asked, ever since she met him. Sure, he lied. What about it? Fucker just deserted the space nazis. He was scared out of his mind. Anyone with half a brain can see that.
Thank god Rey didn't pull any insipid, Felicity-tier BULLSHIT and just went on with "we got bigger problems, bro". Finally an adult in a fucking movie acts like a fucking adult again!
>>78447458
I thought that was fine, too. It's everything else about her that makes her fall flat.
>>78447347
There's still time for rampant NR militarization in response to the Senate getting blown up, assuming 8 is a couple years after 7.
>>78447543
Personally, I'm flabbergasted by all the vitriol spewed in Rey's direction in a franchise where Child Genius Anakin exists...
Anyone has other eastern european OT posters?
>>78447612
Since when is The Phantom Menace the poster-child of good storytelling? But I'd argue even Anakin isn't as egregiously boring as Rey. Just cartoonish in a similarly juvenile movie.
The prequel movies being awful doesn't somehow excuse Rey's character or the pacing of TFA being awful.
>>78447618
That's pretty ballin' right there. I like it.
>That one Star Destroyer listing to the side

>>78447666
Personally, I'm rather sick of dumb, whiny kids saving the world. Anakin and all the prepubescent edgelords like him can get bent. I'd rather have a reasonable adult like Rey. It's refreshing. Rey is perfectly plausible as a 'chosen one', due to her possessing sufficient maturity and strength of character to focus on issues that are actually important.
But hey, if you prefer "muh Padme! Muh Padme! The galaxy be damned, MUH PADME!", that's your call. I myself can only stomach so much fucking retarded before I toss a movie in the bin.
Rey has her priorities straight and the drive to see them through. She doesn't have to be a subjective value of entertaining to do so. That's the rest of the cast's job. Her job is to get shit done, which she does.
>>78447666
>pacing of tfa being awful
nope
no senate scene =/= bad pacing
>>78447856
>>78447849
Nice strawmen, baby girls.
For what it's worth I enjoyed TFA much more than any of the prequels. It still has several big problems, though.
>>78447458
>Sure, he lied. What about it?
The fact that spies exist and he could have been a spy to fuck over the mission BB-8 was on. Also thanks for insulting me just because I rightfully criticized Rey. People are going fucking crazy over her, the slightest hint that you dislike something about her character and people go insane.

Hungary had pretty wild ones, there's a dragon with a scimitar for some reason on the ANH one iirc (it was meant to be Greedo apparently).
Poland had very simplistic ones like this, ANH was C-3PO and ESB - Luke in rebel pilot gear.

>>78447994
You're not debunking anything. You just attacked preferences I never even expressed having. I don't have to prefer Anakin or "dumb, whiny kids" or else like Rey. It's not an either/or situation.
>>78444239

Rey is the most immature little bitch of all protags so far. Or right behind Finn. She just never has to encounter actual consequences for her actions, because she is a Mary Sue who is automatically good at everything and every good guy instantly likes her, even if she acts like an absolute jerk towards them (see Finn).
>Personally, I'm rather sick of dumb, whiny kids saving the world. Anakin and all the prepubescent edgelords like him can get bent.
It is... almost like... Anakin was supposed to be growing into a villain who fucked up everything!
>Rey has her priorities straight and the drive to see them through
Observably false. She has to be constantly goaded or dragged onto the quest, and she literally runs away when it is revealed that the quest is more complicated than droid delivery.
Either you're baiting or you're actually retarded.
>>78448180
I'm listening.
>>78448097
You really have paper thin skin. Are you sure you're old enough to post here?
As for your "criticism" of Rey, you're criticising someone for acting entirely within their character and prioritising bigger issues over...what did you expect her to do exactly? Go full retard and confront Finn on being "a spy"? Act outraged and angry, which would serve literally no purpose other than waste screentime in an exercise of infantile futility a la season 3 of Arrow?
Keep in mind we're talking about someone who had more than enough time to recover the plans the First Order obviously wanted and probably to kill Rey in her sleep, if he so chose.
Seriously, what are your expectations in that situation?
My issue here isn't Rey per se, really. It's the piss-ridden pigs' through that is pointless and stupid temper tantrums. That seems to be what you're going for. If you really want that, I have some great recommendations for you, starting with Desperate Housewives. But maybe you shouldn't be watching Space Adventures.
>>78448229
Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are demonstratibly two entirely different people, anon. They have nothing in common outside of Lucas-fiat.
The rest of your post is pure, unadultered autism.
>>78447612
>Personally, I'm flabbergasted by all the vitriol spewed in Rey's direction in a franchise where Child Genius Anakin exists...
That's because Rey is a Mary Sue and child Anakin is not. He is not instantly competent in literally everything. He is not instantly liked by every good guy he meets. He is not a combination of talents from several preexisting chartacters. He does not break established rules of the setting to get himself out of a bind. He is not a fortress of self-sufficiency who doesn't really need help, support or company of other people. And we know that he is destined to fail terribly and become a villain.
I'm hoping that Rey and Kylo are related so thatI can ship them.
>>78448401
Agbhhgh, stop insulting my waifu!
>>78448401
...literally everything you said Anakin is not, Anakin does in the prequels.
>>78448466
What? You best be trolling
>>78448486
No, I had to analyse them back when they came out. Everything you attribute as him 'not doing', he does or happens to him.
>>78448466
What drives you to proclaim that black is white on the Internet anon? Or are you running a false flag operation to present Reyfags as delusional morons?
>>78448522
I'm not the one trying to claim the child genius who singlehandedly ended a planet-wide war in a Starfighter, can build complex robots and has unparallelled magical aptitude ISN'T A MARY SUE.
That's you.
>>78448508
>I had to analyse them back when they came out.
You blew it.

>I'm not the one trying to claim the child genius who singlehandedly ended a planet-wide war in a Starfighter,
Never happened. What drives you to proclaim that black is white on the Internet anon?
>can build complex robots
So? The robot he threw together from scrap parts isn't even any good at any practical task yet.
>and has unparallelled magical aptitude
Main characters tend to have unparalleled aptitude. But only Mary Sues turn it into actual unparalled ability, as soon as plot calls for it.
>ISN'T A MARY SUE.
He isn't.
>>78448686
>I haven't watched the prequels and I'm just shitposting
Kay, bro.
>>78448542
He would only be a mary sue if he had no flaws anon.
>>78448542
Anakin had help from R2. Who basically piloted the ship.
Thread.
>>78448542
>I'm not the one trying to claim the child genius who singlehandedly ended a planet-wide war in a Starfighter,
He didn't though. R2-D2 helped him pilot the ship after they got it off autopilot and Anakin essentially just accidentally damaged the ship internally enough to destroy it by firing the fighters guns.
> can build complex robots
He rebuilt C-3PO from scrap parts in Watto's junkyard. He essentially just reattached his head and limbs to his torso and replaced/fixed any broken parts or wires. I don't see why people thing Anakin *built* 3PO. He didn't.
>and has unparallelled magical aptitude
He has an unnaturally strong connection to the Force, which means absolutely nothing if he isn't trained to use it.
>>78448719
Rey has flaws, they just arent big enough for shitposters to care
The writers LITERALLY devise a whole planet for her to live on to explain 90% of her skills, amd people think they came from thin air
Do you wanna build a Death Star?
>>78448719
Right. So you don't know what the term even means that you're tossing about.
Here's some news for you:
Strictly speaking, the following characters are all Mary Sues:
Anakin Skywalker
Luke Skywalker
Jar Jar Binks
Ahsoka Tano
Leia Organa
Palpatine
Rey
You'll notice neither Kenobi, Han nor Ben Solo are on there, despite being main characters who accomplish great things. This is because they are complex characters who run through a coherent and plausible development arc (Anakin's "SUDDENLY EVIL" is simple writer fiat. It does not change his Sue status, it reaffirms it).
Now, we could go further and elaborate on how, in this context, Mary Sue is a completely baseless criticism that reeks of hypocrisy and stupidity in those that use it on a fraggin' Star Wars main character of all things. We could also discuss how classical heroic attributes can easily be defined as "Mary Sue", while still fitting in a well-told storyline and plot arc.
But really, all I'm expecting here is "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE".
>>78448922
She does need to have a big fuck up in the second film though. Every hero has one, I mean with Luke it was going to Bespin and Anakin...well where do I start?
>>78448975
>Jar Jar Binks is a Mary Sue
>Phasma with huge breasts
this triggers me
>>78448922
>The writers LITERALLY devise a whole planet for her to live on to explain 90% of her skills
How does this excuse it? It's fucking fiction. They could've outright called her Force Goddess. It doesn't make a difference. She's still a boring character that robs the movie of most of its tension.
>>78448922
What bugs me is how Rey (who lived her while live on a desert planet) has barely reacted to a snow and a forest planet.
>>78438213
A new republic fleet led by Wedge Antilles BTFOing the first order.
>>78449018
She does react to a forest planet, m8
>>78449018
she actually did, they make a point to show her reaction on takodana f a m
>>78449018
See, this is actually a valid point.
>>78449013
Whereas this reeks of 'I went into the movie looking for reasons to hate it'. A character doesn't rob an entire movie of tension, direction and script do that.
>>78449013
>star wars movie
>tension
im being trolled
oh, do you mean the tension of the last ten minutes?
>>78449110
Tension is a basic part of storytelling. I don't necessarily mean it in a horror-movie-suspense sense.
>>78449097
>Characters are somehow separate from direction and script
Oh /co/. Go back to school.
>>78449171
>Characters are somehow separate from direction and script
Why do you think people like Obi Wan?
>>78449171
If you think a character in an action movie is robbing it of tension, you probably shouldn't be tossing stones in a glass house.
>>78449238
Characters are defined by what they say and do. This deals in things like the screenplay and direction. This is what shapes the character and where it comes from. The actor of course lends their own presence (which is sometimes significant and other times isn't, but either way they're still subject to the script and direction).
And she does rob the movie of tension, because she resolves many of her issues with little consequence with little time for the audience to feel any. It's boring to watch. Or do you think action movies are only good because of the set pieces and not the characters' reaction to said set pieces? In which case I offer Michael Bay's ouvre.
>>78449094
One line on approach and then standing emotionless near a body of water.
Yeah, I'm nitpicking, I just wanted a humanity moment for her. Finn and then Kylo had theirs. Even Poe was a great believable character but that could be just based Isaac.
