Is Star Wars VII going to tear /tv/ apart?
There's been such a strong hatebase for it here for months because anarchists want it to be bad to see the shitstorm, but the movie's actually really fucking good

How long will you meme about it being bad before accepting the reality that it was good?
>>
>>63737153

lol never.

it just quiets down. but it never ever ever is accepting.
>>
Its not good.

Its just a remake of SW IV with worse dialog and shittier versions of the main characters.
>>
>>63737153
That's your opinion it's not really good the most I'd give it is a 7.8

I liked it.

It blows up an entire solar system at once

no one's going to really care about star wars in the next two years mate. Disney is milking it so much that with the hype of TFA outta the way, people just aren't going to give a shit.

now back to reddit you go.

what i dont get is he says in the trailer he will continue what vader started. vader was just a puppet for the emperor so what the fuck is he talking about. did they just think people would forget that vader wasnt in control of anything
>>
>>63737233
>Poe and Finn crash, Poe is presumed dead and then magically appears with no explanation
except he DID explain it

>Anakin's/Luke's lightsabre magically appears with no explanation
Except it WAS explained

>Kylo being Han and Leia's son is revealed rather mundanely
The reveal was fine, it happens rather early on if that's what you mean by mundane because it wasn't built up for long - but it was too important a fact to keep secret considering the direct character motivations han and leia have because of it

>no real light sabre duels, cutaway during at least one of them
Did you just not watch the end where kylo takes on finn and then rey? How do those not count as duels? Or are you memeing and haven't actually watched the movie?

>Kylo is particularly difficult to understand, most people speak quite muffled
Is english not your first language? Do you have hearing problems?

Notably better than Mark Hamill was in ANH though

I think we can all agree that a better reveal would have been when Han said to Leia
"I saw our son"
And let it unfold in that scene
>>
>>63737382

I can't remember if they said solar system or just a bunch of planets, it was like 5 or 6 including a moon or two

It's a different system

It would have caught people more off guard, although maybe too well

wait for the DVDrip/cam

then we can discuss it like gentlemen

right now it's just memes and shitslinging

They wanted to destroy the central stronghold of Republic - the capital planets.
They did that.

Also, that's what really bothers me. Billions probably died, the government was destroyed.
All in 10 seconds of screen time and no one gives a shit.

Was it actually Coruscant? I couldn't tell
although the dialogue beforehand kind of suggests that I guess

I'm a die-hard Star Wars fan from PRIOR to the release of the first film in 1977 (in B4 OLDFAG). It was something of an obsession for me for all of my childhood and I later worked on the Prequels when I became an adult. I was glad not to be involved with this film because I honestly felt that working on the prequels ruined the experience for me when I watched the films on the big screen... although I secretly suspected that they were shite.

I saw Star Wars 7 a couple of days ago, prior to the release of the film publicly. I went into it with high expectations but I was happy that I'd avoided the spoilers that might have ruined the experience for me. The film started out on a bad foot for me. The opening scenes were so dark (from a luminescence perspective) that any poor bastards seeing it in 3D would suffer for it. Within the first few minutes of the film they'd killed a favorite actor (not an actor from any of the previous films but more of a cameo on this one) - which was a waste of his talent as an actor. The movie was slightly amateurish and predictable for quite a while and then I realized I'd seen this film before... back in 1977. To my horror, I realized this entire film was a re-imagining of Star Wars - A New Hope.

I'll be the first to admit that George (Lucas) micromanaged everything previously and surrounded himself with "yes-men" who were too frightened to tell him when he was wrong. To be honest, the Prequels were just horrible on so many levels. And to be brutally honest, this movie (Force Awakens) has so much to offer... and it does deliver to an extent. But I feel that the flaws of this film slightly outweigh any benefits. It's still enjoyable but it's a perfect replication of the script and storyline of the first film... From the first, second, third and fourth act... it was simply the same damned film only none of it was new to us in terms of technology or VFX.

Star Wars 7 was Meh.

Autistpedia doesn't have anything about it but maybe it hasn't been updated yet. I seriously hope Kylo Ren doesn't get forgiven, there's no way you can come back from that, Darth Vader died at the end of ROTJ for a reason.

Is that gif from Force Awakens or from New Hope?
I honestly can't tell.

No, they could see it happen in the sky, that's what I thought was weird.

You should probably kill yourself you fat manchild. I know for a fact you're a virgin and have never accomplished a single thing in your waste of a life.

You cannot tell the difference between 70's effects and now?

Except the climax was one of the 2 worse directed shots and I bet you can't even describe how rey beated kylo

Married a model 20 years younger than myself and won some Oscars. Nothing much to show otherwise except coin. And you?

No, they screened three major scenes (R2+3PO in the desert, Blast Off From Mos Eisley and Escape From The Death Star/TIE Fighter Attack) on television and released the novel 4 months or so prior to the film's release. We all had a bit of an eyefull before the movie came out. Still, nobody had heard sound effects or seen visual effects like those before. It was like eating stale unsalted crackers for years and then being given a 9 course banquet served by world-class chefs. It changed everything for every one.

>>63737671
I mean exactly how he got disarmed, I've seen people saying practically anything from him losing limbs (hand and legs), to sword malfunctioning and losing power, to the sword being sliced in half proving the crossguard useless, to him just gettin a little scar on the face with god know what kind of sword manouver from that position.

>>63737656
>Becuase fuck pahysics and litespeed amirite guise

As in we see it from the perspective of our main characters, they see the planets blow up in their own system, no "Hyperspace telescopes"

I have now seen the film twice and still have no fucking clue how she beats him

Those are not guards, those are exhaust vents.

Actually yeah, I don't really understand what happened. Rey stuck his sword into the ground and it somehow withered, or what?
Then he got couple of scratches and a direct pierce into left shoulder.
>>
>>63737153
it will literally objectively be the worst star wars movie you dense fuck

everyone will see that, once they watch the movie

>>63738094
I am a huge SW fan. Even thought the prequels were good. Saw this new movie, I really went in with a open mind ready to like it. I walked out of the theatre hating it. There are so many things wrong with it. Only retards will love it.

he was limping and bleeding out and finn got him with the lightsaber once
he still put up a good fight though desu senpai

She used the force to think clearly, pushed him with the saber then ran low beside him to get away

After the hype has worn off people will be willing to point out its flaws. Mark my fucking words.

I expected no less than critical acclaim when the movie first released.

Except that it isn't.

Have you seen it anon? Because the copypastas on /tv/ aren't completely accurate

>only one inhabitable planet per system anyhow

It's like blowing up our solar system to get rid of earth. Why bother? Just in case a few humans were smoldering corpses on Mercury or swollen bags of staticy juice inside Jupiter?

The whole idea of blowing up a system instead of a planet was added just to make this thing sound bigger and more impressive than the Death Star when anyone thinking even a moment about it realizes how stupidly pointless it is.
>>
>>63739736
>only one inhabitable planet per system anyhow
Has that ever been the case in star wars lore or are you going by real life rules?

>The whole idea of blowing up a system instead of a planet was added just to make this thing sound bigger and more impressive than the Death Star
This was definitely the case though, I won't argue here

What would you do if Episode VIII is an exact replica of Episode V (which already looks like will be with YodaLuke)? I'd go full ISIS desu, like that's it for Star Wars for me.

Wasn't one of the planets coruscant?
