So let me get this straight,

The newcomer protagonist kicks the main antagonist's butt on the very first installation of the trilogy?

Where the fuck can we go from here? That's retarded amateur level of screenwriting. It's like if Luck would have almost killed Vader in ANH.

Fuck I miss George.
>>
>>63741020
He was wounded
>>
>>63741039
And she's a literal nobody from planet shithole
>>
Kylo Ren is not Darth Vader.

He's supposed to be a different kind of villain.

For one thing that isnt a direct copy of A New Hope (but is of Revan and Jaycen Solo, but whatever) he's pretty hated.

It's like you bitch about how TFA was a direct clone but when something isnt a direct copy you critizise that also.

I'm starting to side with the film and the normies that like it after reading all of you faggots posts ranting about anything.
>>
>>63741039
In terms of storytelling, he shouldn't have been.
>>
>>63741020

>I miss George

You are the most cancerous kind of idiotic retard
>>
>>63741071
It's not about similarity with ANH. I was just using it to make a point about screenwriting and structure. If the protag who's a literal nobody manages to overpower the antagonist badass in chapter 1 where can it go now?
>>
>>63741087

Fucking WHY !!!!

Because that's not a copy of A New Hope and you secretly want a copy?
>>
I didn't like how easy she was able to beat Ren having no prior training with the force or lightsabers. Having said that:

>Ren had been shot through the stomach by an extremely powerful gun
>Also took some damage fighting Finn
>It's obvious that he's no Darth Vader, only that he aspires to be him, which is an important thing to consider in regards to his skills and his immaturity as a villain
>Rey is obviously the newest "chosen one" so she has greater force sensitivity than anyone else, meaning she learns quickly
>>
>>63741145
The movie doesn't tell you that Rey has had previous jedi training but Luke wiped her mind
>>
>>63741105

She was trained alongside Ten.

Hardly a nobody. Also tens training isn't even complete
>>
>>63741145

But it is (poorly) implied she did had training with the force and with a lightsaber before becoming an orphan
>>
>>63741087
He was wounded by Chewy for killing his lifelong companion. It was very appropriate and reasonable.
>>
the excuse is that she's so incredibly force sensitive that he couldn't do shit

i still thought it was stupid but there we go. she just closed her eyes for a second, remembered she had to 'use the force' and was then all-powerful. they did handicap him a lot though:

>just murdered his dad
>got shot with the most OP blaster in star wars
>slashed a few times by a lightsaber
>>
>Luke Skywaler
>get like six months of training tops from Obi and Yoda on Dagoba
>almost get beaten by Vader but then get angry and rek his shit

Force means you're OP all around apparently. Also genetics maybe?
>>
>>63741204
Also Luke manages to fuck the Death Star in the asshole after Obi saying something inspirational to him.
>>
why haven't any chinks or aussies uploaded a camrip yet?
>>
>>63741111
No, because it's senseless to have your major antagonist defeated in the first part of a trilogy.
>>
>>63741071
He's not copied from ANH, he's a copy of more cringeworthy copy of Hayden in ROTS which is worse.
>>
Don't worry, anon. They will introduce new, even more threatening chatacter in Episode VIII: Dindu Ren. He will look upon to Sheev, mark his face with white paint to resemble his wrinkles (black one wouldn't be visible due to his skin color) and master the technique of spinning. He will be an adpoted son of Lando and Master Windu, who survived the fall and travelled in time as a result of Unlimited Power. And Finn's evil twin.
>>
>>63741177
Where is it implied?
>>
>>63741181
Yeah, but it wasn't what the story needed if they were going to bring the characters together moments later to battle.
>>
Kylo has to run with his tail between his legs, being pretty embarrasingly defeated by Rey

At the end of VIII they will fight again after having both being trained more, Rey by Luke and Kylo by Snoke. Rey will be the cocky one this time, having pretty easily defeated Kylo last time (Even though Kylo was heavily injured, physically exhausted and going through an emotional breakdown) but Kylo will kill Rey
>>
>>63741063
A literally nobody that still is pretty handy when it comes to combat. Regardless watch the fight again, she's running away most of the time and only gets the upper hand when she unlocks a new power. Anyway's it's obvious all isn't as it seems and she's had some form of training or knowledge in her past that's allowed her to beat a wounded autist.

>>63741226
It's pretty clear that every "chosen one" gets tremendous force assistance now. Anakin, Luke and now Rey are all able to pull off bullshit moves very quickly. It doesn't really bother me too much but it did seem a little too sudden with Rey.
>>
>>63741158
where does it say that?
>>
>>63741239
>major antagonist
You mean Snoke?
>>
>>63741226
Luke was already an incredibly competent pilot and hadn't been denying the force. He was also fighting a largely crippled Vader who didn't really care to kill his own son.

There are supposed to be parallels between that and the Dooku fight, because George loves pottery.
>Ay Dooku fight Anakin but don't kill him, just play around with him for a while until we can get him to fall to the dark side, maybe kill Obi Wan, we don't need him
>Okay killing Obi Wan will make him pissed and then he'll fall to the dark side and everything will be fine, he won't try and kill me right?
>Yeah it's fine I'll stop him (gonna get a new apprentice fuck you Dooku)

Sheev is just a dick who always wants to trade in his old busted up apprentice for a new fuccboi
>>
>>63741253

When she doesnt want to have anything to do with the jedi (anymore) and with her sudden force powers.

I guess people are just too dumb to asume she had prior training instead of taking everything they see literally and by the word.

That's why american movies are made for retards I guess, why they explain and derscribe everything very specifically.
>>
>>63741226
He already used to bulls eye womp rats. He just used the force to give it a little push. It was elevating skills he already had.

Even after he had spent time getting accustomed to the force he still had to concentrate to bring his lightsabre to him from a distance in Empire. Rey is just getting it way too quickly.

Shouldn't surprise though. Look at comic book movies, none of the characters work for their powers. They get it handed to them and we're supposed to root for them whilst the bag guys are the ones who spend countless years building themselves up only to get instantly defeated.

It appeals to the lazy, narcissistic mentality of today's youth who like to believe they can do everything without working for it just because they're special.
>>
>>63741204
>>63741226

Also, Luke is able to block all blaster shots with his vision obscured after Obi Wan says some mumbo jumbo to him.
>>
>>63741071

>Go to watch Creed

>Creed beats the ever loving fuck out of the World Champ without ever spending a second training

>LOL GENETICS MUH DAD WAS CHAMP

It's retarded writing. Everyone knows it. Whether you care about retarded writing in a children's movie, and a children's movie specifically created to dredge up long dead and buried material to sell toys and shit by a giant corporation, is another matter.
>>
>>63741233
Go watch it in the cinema or wait for it to actually be a good quality download

That's in the space of 10 seconds after receiving basic training, Rey manages to sustain the force for a fucking 10 minute fight.

How do people come to these conclusions? Adam Driver literally nailed the character and was the shining star in the movie.
>>
>>63741200
you know that is all bullshit, if you're supposed to follow the rules of: evil magic gives you the stongest power.
>he killed his dad
doesn't this give him more darkside force? Thereby making him stronger. Also Luke (although not the best mentor) had trained him in using the force since he was a child.. so about 10-15years?
This shit doesn't make any sense. But i mean, she closed her eyes for 10seconds so she wins
>>
>>63741020
Ren is a shitter who thinks he can be like grandpa Vader just by holding a red flashy stick. He still has a long way to go.
>>
>>63741248
You may be right. This reminds me of people's general impression, back in '09, that Abrams rewound the Trek timeline to refreshing beginning. But what I saw was a subtle remake of the last picture, Star Trek Nemesis.

>>63741248
>He's not copied from ANH, he's a copy of more cringeworthy copy of Hayden in ROTS which is worse.

The Force Awakens managed to do a better character arc of turning to the dark side and struggling with it in one film compared to three shitpiles.

Yeah. And compare it to older action/sports films where the protag always trains for a long period of time and usually loses once or even twice before his big comeback. Fuck, in the first Rocky he never even defeats the other nigga.

>>
>>63741329
Dumb movie, but the boxing scenes were well done
>>
>>63741392
We don't know what age Kylo was when he started training, I'm pretty sure Luke didn't give a fuck about having some older blokes coming to train. I also like how you neglected to mention the fact that he was shot by the bowcaster right in the torso and it was pretty obviously shown to have weakened him, even Finn landed a blow on him mang.
Was pretty G when he was punching his wound though
>>
>>63741427
Luke doesn't defeat Vader until the very end of RotJ, it took him 3 movies
>>
>>63741437
Well I mean you don't see him get away but It's pretty much 99.99% likely that he did

>Planet is collapsing
>Fight with Rey and Kylo happening in the forest
>Rey is winning but the ground seperates between Kylo and Rey, ending the fight abruptly
>Rey is rescued Chewie in the Falcon
>Last scene you see of Kylo is him in the forest as the world collapses
>There is a scene with Hux talking with Snoke where Snoke says to flee the planet as It is lost, and to retrieve Kylo so that he can finish his training

In other words if he actually did die and Hux didn't retrieve him in time, It would be fucking retarded.
>>
>>63741427
> Fuck, in the first Rocky he never even defeats the other nigga.

The first Rocky it wasn't even about winning. It was just going the distance. Working his ass off to compete just so he could prove to himself he's not a loser.

The evil white man with the cross must be defeated by the strong, independent Mary Sue protagonist who will start an interracial love story.
It's all part of the agenda.

Like saying Rey doesn't "defeat" Kylo Ren because she doesn't outright kill him.
>>
>>63741434
The difference here being Driver is a great actor so the edgelord character tendencies are actually interesting, whereas Christensen can't act to save his life so the character is shit

How do YOU not see that?

It's pretty well balenced. Kylo would have fucked her up anyday.

I'd say it's even more believable than Vader vs Luke. Luke has virtually no experience and is barely trained while Vader is supposed to be the top tier fighter.
>>
>>63741488
So dark side of the force is weaker than a laser wound? I don't see how those laser do that much damage, especialy when he's hit in the side of his stomach.

>Sauron's not the main antagonist, Morgoth is

>I don't see how those laser do that much damage
It literally launches people meters away in an explosion. Kylo takes one to the gut and he still is standing and fighting.
>>
>>63741020
She had the bog pole that she carried around on Jakku which she seemed to have made lots of use of over her time doing nothing but waiting around and going into that shithole town to get her portions or whatever

guess how many potential rapes she would have had to fight off there? it doesnt seem so unrealistic that she could beat ren considering the blaster shot and him obviously feeling pretty emasculated by her throughout the film

well a stromtrooper being shot by an X-shit looks like shit.

>>63741020
>That's retarded amateur level of screenwriting
Are you fucking kidding me, OP? Star Wars never was known for great story telling. It is simply a family soap opera that take place in space. Made for young people and manchildren.
>>
While I disliked things in the film I didn't dislike Kylo. When he took off his mask for the first time I did initially dislike him.

But a few minutes after that I understood. They were doing something different. The shock was intentional, you're supposed to be sort of shocked and disappointed that he's not newvader... caus he isn't new vader. He's a chump who aspires to be a badass. His helmet kept having attention drawn to its weight, which I guess was like a kind of self imposed punishment/training thing. Like Piccolo's weighted clothing. Meant to be uncomfortable and stuff.

I hated the fight at the end though, but I just hated the two main protags overall.
>>
Snoke tells GENRUHL Hux to retrieve Kylo Ren so he can complete his training. Kylo Ren will return with lvl 80 upgrades in the sequels.

There are also Snoke, Benicio Del Toro, the rest of the Knights of Ren, et al. to dispatch in sequels.
>>
>>63741677
Then what's the point of hiring new people for the series?
>>
>>63741677
It's a retarded plot point even for a children show. If anything children shows know how to write effective plot, and it almost never involves a newbie defeating the big bad on their first duel.
>>
>>63741087

Kylo is introduced as a new sith who's still emotionally unstable in his hatred and questioning his stance a bit
He is inexperienced and throws tantrums where he destroys shit with his lightsaber when things go wrong
It actually makes much more sense for him to get wounded and have a stalemate with rey (he doesn't really lose, the two get literally separated by the ground splitting and they just call it quits there)

The movie isn't a 1:1 rehash of ANH despite the memeing. There's plenty of similarities but it is undeniably different in some aspects
>>
>>63741629
>I don't see how those laser do that much damage, especialy when he's hit in the side of his stomach.
watch the film next time retard. Han uses Chewies gun like 3 times to establish that it fucks your shit up. It's a small miracle Ben is even able to stand after that shot.
>>
>>63741582
Characters are in same class performed by different skill.
But interesting? It just seemed like a fucking brat throwing a tantrum, which is fun for the general public.
>>
Was the x wing locking s foils part the best part of the movie? I swear I almost creamed my pants
>>
>>63741145
>Also took some damage fighting Finn
this pisses me off. how pathetic is kylo if this fat fucking dindu can injure him?
>>
It's a rivalry set up. Snoke is the antagonist, Ren is his pawn and Rey's rival.
>>
Kylo Ren isn't Vader, he's just a wannabe faggot
>>
>>63741754
Watch the film again, again reretard. Sometimes they shoot the crossbow and it doesn't fuck shit up that much. It just makes explosions when it needs to because, fireworks. There's literally a character flaw in the crossbow.
>>
Wasn't it established he can stop fucking blaster bolts in midair?
>>
>>63741784

He was injured and Finn got a lucky strike in, Ren immediately fucks his shit up after that
>>
>>63741779

The best part was the fight at the end
I'm not even memeing, the way they fought did a really good job of showing both how inexperienced and emotional kylo, finn and rey all were. It felt a lot more natural, convincing and interesting than any of the lightsaber fights in the prequels, and it had a lot more parallels with luke wailing on vader in Jedi
>>
>>63741819
>Sometimes they shoot the crossbow and it doesn't fuck shit up that much.

No it doesnt, every time that Bowcaster is fired it throws stormtroopers around

Kylo isn't a Sith.
>>
>>63741829

he was much more composed at that point in the movie
>>
>>63741829
Ren is clearly a powerful, but inexperienced sith. Emotional imbalance is the weakness of the sith. All his power is useless when he's shitting himself out of fear, anger, confusion etc.

No usually it's just a normal blastershot, except for when Han uses it. they also shoot open the door switch at close range

Hey you know what anon those are really good points but what really grinds my gears is that this is literally JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it's nothing but a glib facsimile.

If Star Wars was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.

Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.

A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.

Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.

It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.

But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.

The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.

Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Wars looks like it's something for kids..

Sometimes it kills 3 people sometimes people just fall over sometimes it send them "flying". Usually works like a normal blaster, but it's a bit BIGGER oooOO. But then Kylo Ren doesn't fall from it because:
1. Plot armor
2. oh he so strong...
3. bad hit, in Kylos side

People are making excuses like he was shot and weakened etc. but the fact of the matter remains that he was beat in the first movie, weve seen that he is indeed defeatable already, that hes no longer an actual obstacle if he shows up again because it is entirely possible to slap his shit. Theres no threat to the main fighting antagonist now, no matter how you look at it.

I had the same opinion at first, and reading the books on Darth Bane's sith apprentice training, I would've thought Kylo Ren would be going through similar training. The sith are meant to see lightsaber duels as a dance and read any amateur counters and sequence changes. Like people have said, he was injured, he had just killed his father which was required of his sith training, he would've been mentally taking that in. It's a fine plot, it should hardly be criticized. The pacing was a little off, but it's still fine.

They will be rivals. They will both be opposites of one another (as cousins or siblings) and continue to meet one another, like fucking Naruto and Sasuke I guess if you want to pick a very simple analogy.

I don't have a problem with this, it's a new device for Star Wars. What is wrong with this?
>>
People calling kylo an apprentice are wrong he's already a master but he went to the dark side and is being guided by snoke
Kylo even offers to train rey which imo is why he doesn't instantly kill her
>>
>>63742921

Definitely.

If Snoke has any connection to Palpatine and his beliefs. We all remember Palpatine killing his master. He talked a lot about that being a critical process.
>>
>>63743003
>What is wrong with this?

it's not the same as A New Hope and doesn't fit with my 'TFA is just an ANH rehash' meme
>>
Do you people not have a brain to process visual cues?

The second Kylo got shot by Chewbacca I could already predict he'd fight Rey/Finn & it's a neat excuse for why he would let them escape. Added to that he isn't even fully trained. Rey was already exceptional with a stick so it's not a long shot to see she'd easily pick up sword wielding.

Does Luke still have his Green Lightsaber? Because when I think "Jedi Master Luke Skywalker", I think of the green saber and black outfit. They didn't give him the blue one back for marketing purposes, did they?

you see the reason kylo lost the fight is cause he thought of a really funny joke in the middle of it that snoke told him earlier off camera and it distracted him enough for his cousin to get the upper hand

wait luke is rey's father right? they implied the shit out of that
>>
On a side note, anyone else hear Snoke say "Knights of Ren"? As in there's others?

Also they never called Kylo Ren or Snoke Sith, did they?

Anyone got the pic of Luke at the end senpai?

Then how come the only jedis to ever beat a sith are Windu and Obi-Wan?

Windu was basically the best fencing dude ever, Obi-Wan was extremely tactical feigning disadvantages/helplessness and never got flustered after Darth Maul fight.

ooh yeah, or Han & Leia.. since they just bailed when Kylo gained darkside in puberty

Did some of you cucks really watch Star Cucks unironically? I feel bad for you manchildren.

the most iconic scene that comes to mind is when luke throws his fucking saber away. that is the light side triumphing over the dark side.

Here were get Kylo cuck BTFO by a strong disney princess who apparently needs not training to fuck shit up.
>>
>>63743576
Yeah, but the green one is the one he beat Vader with.
>>
>>63743557
Yoda beat Dooku.
>>
>>63743576
But everything EU I consumed always had the black outfit and green saber.

I spend my childhood and teenage years playing games featuring Luke with the green saber.

I'd be really pissed if they decided to ignore something that was part of 20 years of my life.
>>

Wait a second. Didn't the blue one get lost as fuck at the end of ESB?

I'll be really pissed if he takes back the blue one instead of giving it to Rey

He didnt' beat anyone.

He didn't beat Dooku or Sheev.

Yoda was fucking shit. Those who can't do, teach: the character.
>>
>>63743653
We don't know how long he trained with Luke for, we don't know how many students he managed to bring over to the dark side, we don't know how old/trained the rest of the padawans were.

>Pummeled Vader into the ground, chopped off his arm and had his lightsabre at his throat

>>
>>63743653

Yeah that's why he beats her basically the entire time until the final moment when she centres her emotions and draws from the light side of the force to manage to fight Kylo off.

How are you not understanding this?

>>63743637
>2 kids
Do you plan on releasing them back to their families?
>>
>>63743675

Yes he did. He got angry and beat the shit out of Vader, and then stopped after cutting his hand.

>not canon

I don't give a shit. I spend 20 years of my life with the image of Jedi Master Luke with a green lightsaber, and now they're giving him Anakin's blue one back? Fuck off.

>>63743703

Luke stops fighting before defeating vader, sheev then electrocutes him and vader throws him off the edge and turns good
vader was the real winner

But it's not change. It's the opposite. Luke changed between ESB and ROTJ, and he built his own lightsaber as a rite of passage. That was actual change.

Luke didn't want to kill Vader either, he wanted to kill Palpatine and have Vader on his team.
