>>78883834Heartbroken Chewie makes me sad
So has anyone here read the TFA screenplay?
Oh joy, another thread filled with faggots desperately trying to look cool for hating TFA
Just read Obi-Wan and Anakin #1. What did /swr/ think of it?
did anyone post the short story Bait? it's not in the mega folder
>>78884020
>nothinghappened.jpeg
>whatsajedi.png
>>78883972
>thinking it's cool
TFA is a good film and very entertaining. That isn't to say it wasn't flawed as fuck. For example Rey is an undeniable Sue and Kylo gets diminished by poor writing choices in the final act.
Whatever the internal reasoning there was for it having what is going to be the central antagonist so easily dispatched in the final hour, especially after hyping him up the whole film, was not a good idea.
>>78883834
;_;
>>78884206
He's clearly going to get more and more capable as the trilogy goes on. They're actively building a "villain" here while the Originals sought to deconstruct theirs
For the last few days I have been trying to the library but things let me from going but finally I was able to go today and I found this in a snowbank
>>78884514
>in a snowbank
How perfect
>>78884206
>That isn't to say it wasn't flawed as fuck.
Except it isn't? All the supposed flaws you people keep pointing out are just you nitpicking and bitching because it's not your precious EU.
>>78884664
How baseless can you get
>>78884471
That's what they're trying to do, sure but Rey's complete and utter dominance narratively in both Kylo and non-Kylo spheres there's no punch. Regardless of how 'damaged' he was at the time she still won.How she one in particular is more in line with my other point about her being a sue and the writing being poor. Given that he could have forced pushed her off the cliff or into a tree like he did at the start of the fight at any time during it.
>>78884664
>nitpicking and bitching because it's not your precious EU.
Whaaaaat?
>>78884206
I'm fucking tired of Rey being called a Sue. If you were to switch her gender with Finn's nobody would be calling her a Marty Sue, I guarantee you. A Sue would be something like fucking Bella who starts a literal war because she can't decide which guy she wants to screw. She'd be a Sue of Poe and Finn and Kylo were all clearly romantically interested in her. A chick in the leading role of a story not specifically targeted at women a Sue does not make!
>>78884664
>Except it isn't?
That isn't a question you off site colloquial writing shit bag.
Also yes it is flawed because PLENTY of people have had bones to pick with TFA. I mean shit I hadn't even held the fact that it's a complete carbon copy of NH with RoJ sprinkled in.
There are plenty of very real hardly defensible flaws, just because you're a fan boy doesn't make that a lie. It just makes you an idiot. I mean hell, I still really fucking liked the film, it's just really stupid in particular areas or at particular times.
>>78884650
This is nice and all but at that point he had already brutally murdered an entire village of sentient beings, including the women and children.
>>78884767
>I'm fucking tired of Rey being called a Sue. If you were to switch her gender with Finn's nobody would be calling her a Marty Sue, I guarantee you.
Your right because we call male marry sue's Mary sues anon
>>78884792
Easily swept under the rug. Jedi do shady shit like that all the time, they've just got the political clout to have it forgotten.
>It turns out that if Vader had taken off his armor, he would have had Super Strength and Super Speed. The emperor just told him it was life support.
So what kinds of stories do you guys expect to see from the upcoming Rebels episodes? I'm personally hoping for the return of Maul. He kicked ass in the Clone Wars show and his fate is still up in the air.
>>78884824
It's likely he was taken out during the Siege of Mandalore
>>78884767
>Sue of Poe and Finn and Kylo were all clearly romantically interested in her.
Well Finn is, Poe never really meats her, and Kylo has some sort of interest in her, though probably not romantic. That's not to mention that Han Solo wants her as a surrogate daughter so bad he offers her a job.
>>78884792
Nothing gets a Jedi harder than redemption.
>>78884856
I hate how she comforted/broke the news to leia not chewie
>>78884818
You're probably not referencing it but that RLM video about Vader's suit where they just read off of Wookipedia was amazing. One of their funnier videos.
>>78884824
I'd rather not see him in Rebels. Not only would this be the second time he's re-appeared in a new era, but he has no connection to the main cast. Even his connection to Mandalore is weak.
>>78884792
Considering the context, i can't say i wouldn't have done the same
>>78884818
He actually has those things though. At least, he has Force Speed still anyway.
>>78884824
I'm just hoping Vader vs Ahsoka is everything I want and more. Filoni has a lot of high expectations on his shoulders. Two of the biggest characters. As far as he is concerned, he needs to try and make it the most emotional and intense fight in the franchise.
>>78884514
Nice!
Give it a good flick to "activate" it.Just dont be a fucking idiot and aim it at your brand new £350 laptop.Only a fucking idiot would do that.
>>78884891
>C'mere random girl I need to give you a hug
>Okay you look like a grandma so I'm gonna hug you now
>>78884853
We never saw him get killed off. This is the creative team that took the fact that Luminara's death scene in Episode III as a reason to extend her life well beyond that point, along with Berris Offee. He's as good as alive as the writers ar concerned.
>>78884911
Well then you're fucked up too.
>>78884792
>Only remembering relatively good people for the bad things they've done
>>78884824
>I'm personally hoping for the return of Maul.
I'm not, I like the guy but he deserves a novel series or some comic to better see his story and the resolution of it.
>>78884962
What?
>>78884953
Did Luminara have a death scene in RotS?
>>78884907
He's god a beef against the empire since Paupatine killed his brother. This could be the chance to have a cool storyline about a morally ambiguous rebel cell lead by him, and a sith lord trying to pull Ezra under his influence who actually has a chance of getting Ezra's sympathy as they've both lost loved ones to the Empire.
>>78884916
>I'm just hoping Vader vs Ahsoka is everything I want and more.
Oh, I SO want more interactions between them! I'm glad they could get James for the show. They were going to cut Vader out entirely if they couldn't.
>>78884958
They Tourtured and killed his mom (possibly raped her) i don't blame him for burning that place to the ground
>>78884936
>Random girl
>Implying Luke, Leia and Han don't know exactly who Rey is and just aren't telling her so she can find out for herself because ultimately, it's her life and she shouldn't let whatever happened in the past define whatever her future may be
It was kind of obvious in how Han addressed her throughout the film, especially when they reached Takodana
>>78884935
Oh sorry to hear that anon
Yea I know to flick it
>>78884989
Nope, it was cut. Feloni and his crew took this as an excuse to say, "She initially survived Order 66!" and do more with her. We learn about how she really died in Rebels.
>>78884856
Feels like the "job offer" scene was a bit tacked on. Namely the reason she's so good with the Falcon, the reason he offers her a position in his crew (whatever that means after what happened to his last crew), was because he was going to die. The scene is something of a trojan "passing the torch" since Han was set to die and this establishes that the Falcon is in the hands of someone he approves of.
>>78884891
I like how Leia didn't need to be told since the Force passed it on in real time.
We may not know how trained Leia is but at least she is far more attuned than we've ever seen her. Outside the EU, of course.
>>78885033
The children did?
>>78884824
Chopper focus episode where we find out Aphra built him to be a murderbot. She's very proud of him.
>>78885002
>This could be the chance to have a cool storyline about a morally ambiguous rebel cell lead by him
Please, no. Son of Dathomir assured that Maul literally had no where else to go, no one to turn to and little if any real powerbase
Let him either die a pathetic wretch who was kicked from paradise or disappear into the deepest crevice in the galaxy like Savage found him. He shouldn't be able to affect anything anymore
>>78884935
Kylo Ren's lightsaber does hate computer terminals.
>>78884824
I'm hoping for more of Berris Offee, and especially some interactions between her and Ahsoka. She was originally going to blow herself up, but the writers cut that scene because they wanted to do more with her character. Since she was expelled from the order and presumably jailed, she could have survived Order 66 and escaped during the chaos that was the rise of the Empire.
>>78885066
She new Luke didn't blow up with deathsar.
>>78885066
Yeah, I really wish they hadn't cut the scenes of Rey in the flight simulator.
>>78885108
She's gotta be working with sheev right now. He had her in his grasp.
>>78885116
That was just a feeling she had, albeit one with the Force. Nobody argued this. Han dying was a far more powerful moment on par with Obi-Wan sensing the death of Alderaan or Yoda sensing the death of the Jedi across the galaxy.
>>78885085
>Indifferent shrug
It's not imposible
>>78885153
I could imagine the Empire assuming that she'd be alined with the Dark Side because of the bombing, even though she insists what she did was for the Light, and her using this as a way to hinder them from within.
>>78885091
> When the Sequel Trilogy is over, have him appear in some novels having rebuilt the sith.
>>78885173
>Knowing smirk
You fool...
>>78885039
>Implying Luke, Leia and Han don't know exactly who Rey is
Just because you've come up with some headcanon that makes it sound better doesn't make it ok.
>>78885137
Even worse, her explanation of it was almost impossible to make out since she and Finn were too busy shouting over each other.
Instead of making out.
>>78885085
It's the paladin's 'Baby Orks' dilemma.
In the end, society really doesn't care.
>>78885296
>>Instead of making out.
>I was raised from birth to be a stormtrooper, brainwashed into being a tool of murder and oppression
>hey, you single girl? wanna bang?
>>78883825
What is this droid from?
Is it canon?
>>78885190
Though I doubt Sheev would let him live in the end. If nothing confirms his fate, I wouldn't put it past future EU writers.
>>78884792
How many times do we have to go through this?
Sand People aren't people. They do not become a part of the Force when they die. It's totally cool, man.
>>78885436
Star Wars: Commander, and yes, it's Canon. It's not the only one either.
>>78885403
Pretty much. When he found out she wanted to return to Jakku he asked her if she had family down below. Then a boyfriend. Asked that last bit twice.
>>78885526
He just wanted her cute boyfriend for himself
>>78885542
He had a cute boyfriend.Then some bastard shot him on Jakku. Blood on the helmet, man. Blood on the helmet.
>>78885526
>When he found out she wanted to return to Jakku he asked her if she had family down below. Then a boyfriend. Asked that last bit twice.
Because Finn's entire character is just black guy in space.
What Sith has the best theme and why is it Darth Nihilus'?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsMgL8uMGKI
>>78885599
But he is a black guy and he is in space. Did you expect him to act like space Chinese?
>>78885634
I always like Darth Sion.Can you imagine him gently weeping while confessing his love and then playing killing me softly on the piano while literally falling apart?
>>78885179
I really want a jaded and PTSD Barriss inquisitor or hand story where her final test is eliminating Ahsoka.
She still believes she's right but has her doubt about the Empire. Which is how Ahsoks gets to her in their first few encounters by agreeing with why she fights, but not who she fights for. Then enters Vader.
I'd like to see how the two would interact, and being rivals to get to Ahsoka first.The hole thing ends in lesbians
>>78885599
I think his fear of FO and his wanting to do the right thing is more prevalent.
I'm glad that they did ethnic him up alittle
he could of ended up like pic related
>>78884792
>including women and children
>women
>muh convenient gender shit
All people that assisted in and continued the process that got his mother the horrible end she got. Fuck them
>>78885696
>Locke
Where were you when David Bowie died?
>>78885700
I mean yeah.
You really think the women didn't know what was going on, you really think they didn't approve
>>78885691
>Ahsoka fighting Barriss
Now there's a fight I'd pay to see. But the question iswould she rock the dual sabers, single saber, or the terrible inquisitor spinny spin spin saber
>>78885340
>>78885085
This. Either the children would have grown up to do the same or they would die without the men and women he killed to raise them. If you don't like the mercy kill option, that still leaves a village full of orphans.
>>78885734
Lightwhip. Barriss becomes the nucanon Lumiya.
>>78885700
Anakin makes a point of clarifying that he didn't just kill the men but the women and children too. He does this for a reason.
Also you think the children helped capture and kill his mother?
>>78885696
>Locke
AKA the most boring character in existence. Buck had his reasons but my god I'd rather he was leader
>>78885734
I hated the spin saber at first too but it grew on me.The fact the Grand inquister used it like a rapier helped
>>78885726
Whether they approved is irrelevant but likely. They're still culpable as long as they allowed it to happen and supported those who did.
The whole village being guilty isn't really at question, the way I see it, it's more whether execution was justified. Which given the emotional situation and heinous degree of the crime some would argue it was.
>>78885724
>Where were you when David Bowie died?
Nice t-
Oh shit.
>>78885743
>>78885734
I think she would predominantly use one saber but have two. To mirror Ahsoka, got to have that pottery.
>>78885724
Haha good one Anon
>check
Oh fuck
>>78885748
No but they would have if they were older.
Besides, whether they would or wouldn't doesn't even bare thought when in reality even if they weren't culpable the outcome was starving to death as orphans or have Ani chimp on them.
>>78885724
Wha...no..
>>78885724
Wait, what?
Wait, WHAT?
>>78885816
The question isn't "what would have happened to them in the future?" It's "Is it morally acceptable to murder children?" And the answer should be a very obvious no. But I guess I forgot where I was.
>>78885724
>one site
You're a fucking liar. I don't believe you. Celebrities are hoaxed as dead everytime. It's just a scare.;_;
>>78885724
I-in this thread I guess.
>>78885870
>The question isn't "what would have happened to them in the future?" It's "Is it morally acceptable to murder children?"
No actually, you utter moron the question you asked was
>you think the children helped capture and kill his mother?
>>78885816
>>78885870
You guys are thinking a lot harder about this now than you would if you were actually in Anakin's situation.
>You're in a shitty fucking desert
>You haven't had a good night's sleep in months because you keep having nightmares about your mom dying.
>You haven't seen her in a decade.
>You find her beaten to death, or worse, in some savage's tipi in the middle of nowhere.
>She dies in your arms trying to tell you she loves you.
>You have special magic powers that let you take revenge in morally perilous situations like this.
What do?
>>78885973
I was talking overall but ok
>>78885724
Sitting in my tin can, far above the moon.
>>78885999
Burn it down. Burn the whole village down and kill anything that sounds like a robot donkey.
However, I would then resign from the Jedi Order.
>>78885999
>You have special magic powers that let you take revenge in morally perilous situations like this.
Spoken like a true Sith Lord.
>>78885724
Fuck my life it's true!
2016 would be better they said. it's going to be 2015 2 isn't it?
>>78885999
Freak out of course.
Nice reverse satan get by the way there, Sheev.
>>78886033
That's because you don't have Padme as an enabler.
>>78886044
How can it get any worse?
We lose James Earl Jones? Harrison Ford? Ian McDiarmand
>>78886064
Whole trilogy would've been so much better if Padme was a sexy temptress actively seducing Anakin to the Dark Side instead of this pure perfect angel he has no chemistry with.
>>78885999
Slaughter an entire village of people including defenseless ones and children and then never really show any regret about it or face any consequences for it at all, I guess.
>>78886033
>implying from your perspective the jedi aren't evil now
>implying if you were that self aware you wouldn't know your resignation would make them suspicious and look into and possibly come after you
>implying you'd leave the universe in the totalitarian grasp of the suppressive, stagnant jedi order
You're a shit-tier dark jedi mane. You might as well just stay in the jedi order because you'd be an awful force neutral too. Bog down the jedi with your lack of ambition.
>>78886097
He shows regret, but he has bigger things to worry about.
Also while h hates himself a bit he also would do it again.
>>78886097
Well, I mean, guy got mutilated twice, lit on fire, lived in a painful robot suit for twenty years. It's not an even trade at all, but it's not like Vader lived out his life as an intergalactic dark lord of sex with his own senator harem or anything. Guy spent the rest of his life in a living hell.
>>78886097
>implying he didn't live a life of penance as Vader
>implying you'd regret slaughtering the people that had tortured your mum for no good reason
Sad, really.
>>78886073
Don't jinx it!
>>78885999
>meditate
>come to terms with my attachments that are causing me to suffer
>control my painful emotions
>trust in the force
>become a stronger jedi for overcoming this trial
Sithfags please go, and stay go.
>>78886073
They'll be fine
>>78886113
Dammit, I just want to get high. That's what Master Qui-Gon would've done!
>>78886136
He starts to show a bit of regret but then he yells about how they were animals and deserved it. And then Padme is just like "well, youre only human lol :3"
>>78886178
Yes and.
He knows it was wrong, but what they did was also fucked up.
And Padme's not wrong, Lots of people in this thread admit that they'd probably do the same thing.
>>78886172
Qui-Gon was too good for them.
Looking back on the series + CW the only smart jedi that were actually how the jedi pretended they should be were Plo, Qui-gon and Yoda on a good day.
>>78883949
>So has anyone here read the TFA screenplay?
I don't know if this is common or not, but if people haven't I thought I'd post a few amusing things.
>reminder that Poe has charisma
>>78886209
>people on 4chan claim they would murder children so it's normal
>>78886255
>I don't know if this is common or not
Pretty common. There was some hilarious shit in the screenplay form the best scene inDark Knight Rises
>>78886214
Qui-Gon was a vapid waste of Liam Neeson, whose only characterization was cheating, swindling, gambling, and screwing the rules to get what he wants while conveniently chewing out everyone around him for the same behavior, like the stoned-out hypocrite he was.
Prequel Yoda was a confused, indecisive mess of empty wisdom and utter powerlessness as everything around him goes to hell. He has no agency in his fate or that of the Galaxy, the Republic, or his fellow Jedi, and exists simply to be the Force's oblivious punching bag.
Plo Koon is perfect.
>>78886255
Meanwhile Finn is likeable, if terrified.
>>78886266
>Context isn't a thing.
>>78886266
>would let people torture and kill his family without repercussion
You're either a great monk or a complete bitch
>>78886335
>Plo Koon is perfect.
Anakin and Obi-Wan #1 confirms, from Anakin no less, that Plo Koon is the Orders top flying ace.
And people said that comic was all about nothing.
>>78886353
>murder an entire village, including innocent civilians and children, because some of their people tortured/killed your family
>>78886340
Rey is beautiful.
>>78886335
>shitting on the force genius of his time
Now now. Qui-gon was a clever fella that doesn't get enough credit. He even attempted to guide Ani from the grave using the force ghosts he figured out. Hell he was even trying to get Anikan, Obi-wan and Yoda to sort their shit out to little avail.
Yoda had some moments of clarity before the fall but was too wrapped up in what he trusted to be true and focusing on solving the little things rather than taking in the whole picture.
And Plo is Plo.
>>78886392
Apparently that is something so easy and tempting that only great monks could restrain themselves from doing it lol
>>78886416
Unkar is unclean. Also 50. I don't think any supplemental material had stated his age.
>>78886335
>while conveniently chewing out everyone around him for the same behavior
I don't remember this part
>>78886439
Someone in the last thread mentioned Rey's doll.
>>78886392
>walking away from a village that supports not only slavery but also cruel treatment of servants to the point where they'll just slowly kill one without it getting anyone's attention
>implying that anyone other than the kids are innocent in a tiny ass village where everyone would know everyone else is doing and would be supporting the behaviour
Are you German or something?
>>78886486
Hux is scary, also 34, which I also don't think has been mentioned in any supplemental material. That means he was old enough to remember the fall of the Empire. Also, iirc, Pablo Hidalgo said they still haven't given him a first name.
>>78886416
Fun fact but they swapped that scene. It was originally Kylo Ren's unmasking.
>>78886551
Kind of weird that they gave his dad a first name but not him.
>>78886601
Hux hasn't EARNED his first name yet.
>>78886551
Hux hates that guy.
>>78883825
Man, remember how OP those things were in BF2?
If you played as one of those things against your friends, you were a dick.
>>78886617
I really liked Hux. It takes nuts to sas Kylo 'tantrum' Ren.
Besides, he takes pride in his soldiers -for inexplicable reasons- and doesn't want them to be nobody clones. He seems calculated for the most part but you could see him creaming in joy and terror despite pretending to keep calm moments before as the base fired it's first volley of planet ending projections.
Fucking sick character compared to a lot of FA characters. Him and Poe are the ones I want more of.
>>78886635
I'm so glad the script felt the need to point it out.
>>78886685
Do I ever. Top of the board all the time
Sure, you felt like a complete dick, but you were a complete overpowered dick
>>78886635
The reason Rey drops the handholding complaints and offers her hand.
>>78886706
Eh, all's fair in single player.
>>78886694
Good for you, but I found Hux boring.
>>78886694
>-for inexplicable reasons-
From the new EU, his old man created this from birth stormtrooper program, so it's his father's legacy. No surprise he's defensive about it.
>>78886727
>Tfw playing with bots was the funnest thing other from Galactic Conquest

>Snoke gets pissed off at Hux for shitting the bed on Starkiller Base
>sends Thrawn in to straighten him out in Ep. 8.
...what? It could happen.
>>78886759
Bots is definitely something I miss from old games.
>>78886712
Here's the part an anon mentioned where Rey talks about having flown ships before. This line is actually in the movie, but most people don't hear it because she and Finn are talking very quickly and talking over each other.
>>78886759
Playing Rebels in Galactic Conquest was always fun. It made you feel like an underdog.
And when you'd steal a tank, it'd start playing TIE Fighter Attack, which made it feel like kind of a caper.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHGXfFJ2TMk
>>78886648
Thank you, I needed that.
>>78886785
I heard that line when I saw it earlier tonight
>>78886769
believe it or not, his dad is a character in a Rebels tie in book, where he talks about creating the program.
>>78886771
All the Thrawn talk reminds me of how TheForce.net seemed to think every single rumor for AOTC involved Boba Fett
>New leaked set pic of a new ship! COULD BOBA FETT BE FLYING IT?
>Reports that Jedi extras are filming a battle scene. COULD THEY BE FIGHTING BOBA FETT?
>Reports that Jimmy Smits has been cast. COULD HE BE ONE OF BOBA FETT'S TARGETS?
>Here's a new image of Obi-Wan lying on the floor, clutching his leg. DID BOBA FETT INJURE HIM?
>StarWars.com has revealed an image of a new alien. COULD THIS NEW ALIEN BE PART OF A CRITICAL SCENE WITH BOBA FETT?
>>78886785
Chewie always trying to keep Han's ego in check.
>>78886840
Yeah, this has happened with Thrawn ever since Episode 7 was announced
>New Star Wars movies... could they be adapting the Thrawn trilogy?
>Sources close to Disney confirm that the movies are not adapting any existing story... perhaps they will find another way to include Thrawn?
>Rumored casting of Benedict Cumberbatch... could he be Thrawn?
>Rumored casting of Ryan Gosling... possibly Thrawn?
>Rumored casting of Zac Efron... could they be re-imagining Thrawn as a younger character?
>Max von Sydow officially cast! Perhaps playing an older Thrawn?
>Domnhall Gleeson cast! Could he be Thrawn?
>Adam Driver cast as a villain! Thrawn maybe?
>Andy Serkis cast! Most likely a mocap character... maybe a mocap Thrawn?
They're eventually going to reveal Del Toro is playing someone other than Thrawn, then once the Episode 9 casting rumors start, we'll be right back to "Maybe this guy is Thrawn?"

Abrams and Kasdan are apparently both 15. I'm expecting a "hella" in the script somewhere.

The introduction of Snoke for the curious.

Here's hoping we get a better artist for the thread for 2016.
>>78887011
Do you not understand what scripts are for? They need to convey to the cast and crew what sort of tone different things have. The "badass", although it might sound silly, serves a purpose. It tells everybody working on the scene, particularly Harrison Ford, how it's meant to look.
There's more than one way to shoot door controls.

>Implying he doesn't run Coruscant
>>78887041
The got the wounded part, but I never saw him as fragile. Serkis also talked about how there's a definite vulnerable side to him, but we never saw that either.
He ended up just being a pretty standard "command my minions from my throne" villain.
>>78887061

Yeah, okay

It's an intelligent double saber design that actually works, because you weild it one handed for the most part and those times you don't, it has a handy pair of handles. Maul's was just fucking retarded...much like Maul, really. Notably he stops using the idiot sword in TCW when he grows a brain of his own.
>>78887095
Who is "them" in your situation? The script isn't for the audience. It's for the people actually making the movie. And yes, the people making the movie won't know the tone of one particular action unless you tell them. They could guess and get it right or come up with their own interpretation. But if you want them to do it how you want than you put it in the script.
This is pretty basic and obvious stuff.
>>78887145
I repeat:
>they won't know it's badass unless we tell them!
Yeah, okay
>>78887041
first part of Rey's vision. You'll notice that Yoda and Obi-wan's lines are not in the script.
>>78887160
Cool. I have no idea what you're trying to say though.
>>78887061
>Do you not understand what scripts are for? They need to convey to the cast and crew what sort of tone different things have.
They do, but having "HE HATES HIM" and "THIS PART IS BADASS" is just lazy. Even Lucas's frequent shorthand of "they fight" instead of describing an action scene is less idiotic than this.
>>78887079
>He ended up just being a pretty standard "command my minions from my throne" villain.
I don't mind that so much as long as there is a decent twist down the line. Like it turns out that the man behind the curtain is the true Wizard of Oz. What would be the biggest twist? Snoke is actually Jar Jar? Ghost Yoda? Luke? Sixes? Boba Fett? The ghost of the entire EU? The Vong? Emperor Palpatine? Luuke? Ewoks? Jabba the Hutt? Jabba the Hutt's son? Luuuke? Uncle Owen having faked his death in ANH? Lando?
No, I'm betting the biggest possible twist is Snoke is actuallyHan Solo.Faked his death so he could rule the galaxy as Father and Son because Leia was a strict wife and mother and wouldn't let them go to Nar Shadda to get the boy his first prostitute on that holiest of days when Ben turned Space Legal.
>>78887144
>Maul's was just fucking retarded...much like Maul, really. Notably he stops using the idiot sword in TCW when he grows a brain of his own.
No it wasn't Bo staff Fag.
>>78887183
It's true.
If a newbie writer were to submit this it would be trashed immediately.
Show don't tell doesn't just apply to novel writing.
>>78887041

Is that how high he up, or is Snoke a Big Guy for Me?
you know, i was never really into Carrie, but the Korean webtoon's depiction of Slave Leia has won me over

They literally won't. It lets the actor know whether they should be shaking and crying or scoffing and barely paying attention to their surroundings. Otherwise the actor will just have to assume the emotions they're supposed to be showing and possibly assume wrong.

>They do, but having "HE HATES HIM" and "THIS PART IS BADASS" is just lazy
Lazy how? Scripts aren't literature, they're blueprints. When it comes to descriptions in scripts the rules are basically the opposite. You want to make it obvious and succinct. The actors need to know what they're doing and how their character feels.
>Even Lucas's frequent shorthand of "they fight" instead of describing an action scene is less idiotic than this.
Choreographing a fight scene isn't the job of the screenwriter either.
>>78886635
Why does that last sentence make me laugh.
>>78887218
The hologram. The confirmed the real Snoke is 7 feet tall iirc.
>>78887231

end of the vision

are these deleted posts or something?
>>78887061
How the hell is "badass" even a valid descriptor for the actor?
>>78887258
Come on don't act stupid. You know exactly what acting badass in a fight scene means. It means doing what Ford did in the movie where he looked like he wasn't taking the fight seriously and was extremely confident in his abilities.
>>78887293
from a past thread
search the numbers on Desustorage and you will find the story
>>78887258
Why are you pretending there is only one way to portray that scene? Is it really that hard to admit you were wrong?
>>78887130
Essential: Dark lord: Rise of darth Vader, Darth Plageius, Darth Bane trilogy, Shatterpoint, dark Rendevous, Republic comando
Luke wank: Jedi Academy trilogy, The Calista trilogy , Hand of Thrawn,
After those the New Jedi Order saga willl give you both
>>78887300
Don't bother. The guy's playing armchair film snob and won't accept that this is a badly written script.
>>78887286
I might not, I trust my teachers though and my highschool was pretty good for the study and making of films.
>>78887313
I'm just laughing at you at this point, dude. You have no idea what you're talking about and are confusing script directions with random statements. "Character is mad!" is a valid direction. "He shoots a door. BADASS!" is not.
>>78887312
cool, thanks
>>78887290
Starkiller base fires. This one amused me a little too much not to post it.
>>78887300
How isn't it? That's the way they wanted that action to be portrayed on screen so that's what they said. What should they have said instead?
>>78887317
I'm not defending the script or saying it's well-written. But descriptions like this are a standard part of scripts in general. It's what they're for. They're not a fucking books.
>>78887336
>TIMES A ZILLION
Ahahahahaha
>>78887331
>"Character is mad!" is a valid direction. "He shoots a door. BADASS!" is not.
So you're just bothered by the phrasing of the sentence? Why didn't you just say so? I understand laughing at it because it makes it sound like the writers are just being children. But acting like the word "badass" has no place in a script whatsoever is very misguided.
>>78887336
>His eyes WILD WITH POWER AND EVIL
Who wrote this?
>>78887392
I did say so. I've been saying this sounds idiotic the entire time.
>>78887336
The script calls it a mace.

You're right, that was rather silly.

That's surprisingly common in screenplays.

You tell me.

This is gold
>>78887512
Not a Hollywood one it seems.
As I have performed in multiple play before.
>>78887546
it's even funnier when you remember that it has stuff from the future in it too.

For whatever reason, some people don't think they are married.
>>78887559
I still think that scene with the Knights of Ren is a flash forward.
Bowie is dead, /swg/.
Hold me.
>>78887582
Was Maz watching them during this scene in the movie? I'm blanking.
In ANH, Vader ordered the retrieval of Leia's droids. Surely he's seen dozens of R2 units and Protocol droids in the last 20 years, but wouldn't the fact that this particular R2 was blue and white and accompanied by a goldel protocol droid ring any bells?
>>78887611
What the fuck? Why did I have to find this out now. Why did this have to happen. FuuuuuuckaldfskjwhefqIJP
>>78887611
He has become one with the force.;_;
>>78887614
I think she disappears after telling Finn to use the lightsaber, but I can't remember. Either way I think she was already gone by the time Leia shows up.
>>78887634
He had cancer, I just found out thirty minutes ago. I thought it was a joke, until it wasn't.
>>78887631
I don't think he ever knew what the droids looked like. The escape pod launched, the Imperials let it go because there were no life signs. The first time they even realize there were droids is when one of the stormtroopers finds a piece of junk in the sand.
>>78887206
Still salty you got BTFO, huh?

I want a spinoff comic of them being best pals going on adventures once the trilogy's over.

In retrospect, maybe he shouldn't have taken the mask off. Rey was completely terrified of him before he humanized himself.
Rey mai waifu

Play scripts are different to screen scripts. That said there's a standard formatting for screen scripts and TFA clearly breaks it.
