Only saving grace was the robot thing was pretty cute. I will admit I've never seen any of the other star wars movies, and used this as my entry into the series, but to be honest you could have fooled me and told me this was made in the 1980s and flopped, going down as one of the series biggest failures. But it made $2 billion big ones; it's one of the most successful movies in history.

What the fuck is wrong with people? They hated BvS, which was an achievement in cinema as an art form and one of the best movies of the decade, and loved this sack of shit?

A $1 billion domestic gross means fuckloads of people actually went and saw it in the cinema multiple times. Who are these retards who would pay again and again to watch a movie this bad?

Its a kids film
>>
>>68848392
I think this is the only reasonable explanation for how poor the movie was. I can understand kids enjoying this piece of shit for a bit of cheap fun. It's a movie made for young children.

That explains a whole lot. There should at least be a warning to adults going in that you're not going to find anything other than bottom of the barrel, bang your head against the wall cinema though.

Ahh yes and mark rothko is an art genius because he fucking smeared shit on a canvas and further lowered the bar in what is and isn't art.

Cinema is bad enough as it is, we don't need bad influences

Can someone explain what the relationship between the white girl and the nigger even was? Obviously, the nigger was thirsty, and the white girl seemed to like him too, but it didn't go anywhere in this movie. Are we going to have to wait until the next movie to see the R-rated hardcore sex scene between these two?

Can you imagine it? All the young, impressionable white girls are going to wish they had a nigger boyfriend, just like the movies!
>>
Question.

Why was the scene with Captain Plasma (or whatever the fuck she was called) where they throw her in a trash compactor played for laughs?
Am I the only one who found it horribly disturbing to think that she died a horrible slow death being crushed to death?

I can't find anyone talking about this scene in other than a "top 10 funny scenes in Star Wars The Force Awakens" kinda way.
>>
>>68849224
She was evil, but that whole scene just showed how utterly garbage the movie was. She was supposedly some powerful character but it was as easy as anything to point a gun at her, get her to disable the entire ship's security then force her into a trash compactor. This is the stuff heretofore only seen in the cheesiest kids movies.
>>
Final shot still shits me, felt so out of place.
>Aerial shot from a fucking drone, what the shit
Then again most of the movie felt jarring compared to the previous ones. Score was pretty underwhelming too

I've watched the movie probably 4 times now and each time Phasma stands up saying "you can't win" I think she tricked them and alerted the guards.

And then it's revealed she didn't use the opportunity of not being watched at all.....

Walt Disney Presents Nigger Wars: Episode VII - The Feminists Awaken was released in December 2015, becoming the biggest opening of all time since you shat out of your mom's Sarlacc Pit. The movie received an A+ Cinemascore from women due to the presence of a flawless womyn who can use the Force from level 1, the portrayal of all young white males as evil Nazis, and a righteous brothaman named Jango who was sold into slavery by whitey and forced to wear white body armor as a symbol of systemic oppression. Jango becomes unchained, and the runaway slave steals vehicles, shoots and kills soldiers, steals clothing, drinks from hippo watering holes, tells people "you don't know me", runs away with white women, makes sure he "do me", hits on white women, and violently attacks white people. Jango was popular with female audiences since he was the type of guy they could date to prove they aren't racist and use to piss off daddy. The film broke records worldwide for the number of unsold black action figures since they looked like poop. Other titles considered for the film included A New Hope 2: Electric Boogaloo, We Need To Talk About Kylo, They're Paying Me HOW MUCH To Not Use My Voice, The Nigger With A Thousand Faces, Star Shit, Social Justice Wars, and I Just Want To Die Already J.

Is /tv/ the most pathetic userbase on 4chan? The contrarian mental gymnastics regarding Star Wars: TFA is incredible and at the same time absolutely loathsome.

The constant denial, backtracking and moving the goalposts.

>"TFA will be shit! Fucking Jew Jew Abrams, fucking nigger main character, fucking SJWs! People won't accept this! It will be worse than the prequels and a total flop!"
>Trailer drops. Record pre-sales, screenings booked out months in advance. Hype incredibly high.
>"I-i-t'll still be a flop! Guaranteed to be shit! Phantom Menace sold well too before people realised it was shit! N-nigger character!"
>TFA releases. 5 star reviews, record opening day. People love based Johnny B's performance, and he's very well received.
>"o-ok it might not be as bad as we thought, but it's still not going to beat Jurassic World! Disney are finished!"
>Beats Jurassic World, despite being released in off-season and no Chinese release.
>"J-just wait until based RLM eviscerates it for being A New Hope ripoff in a Mr Plinkett review! You'll f-fucking see then Starfags!"
>Mike loves it. RLM approve and think it has saved the Star Wars franchise from the prequels.
>"FUCKING SHIT FILM, MARY SUE JEW SHIT. PREQUEL LOVE THREAD. WHO FUCKING LOVES ATTACK OF THE CLONES? I DO. REVENGE OF THE SITH WAS BETTER THAN ROTJ. BASED GEORGE LUCAS. WELL AT LEAST TFA WON'T BEAT AVATAR, I FUCKING SWEAR TO GOD PLEASE."

The mouthbreathing basement dwellers who strive to be contrarian have been backed into a corner really, they started so verbose. So confident the film would be a flop, not break any records and would be panned by critics. Slowly as TFA has BTFO them on every conceivable level, they've been reduced to adopting some bizarre cult-like contrarian attitude to the prequels, proclaiming them as underrated gems, and trying to push some kind of narrative where if TFA doesn't beat Avatar, it's somehow failed, despite already being a record breaking movie and saving Star Wars.

Sort of. The romance can still resurface in the next movie, or not.

Come to think of it, Abrams really did make another almost inconsequential movie in the SW franchise after TPM. The romance was there, but not really. The Republic was destroyed, but not really. Kylo completed his turn to the Dark Side by killing Han, but not really. Rey could be a Skywalker, but not really. Thanks, JJ.

I don't care, really. It is what it is, and, I think, that's exactly what Disney Wars tried to do with FInn and Rey: to show that being a "nice guy" won't just "get" Finn the girl, and that she isn't obligated to like him for his help, bla bla bla.

To me, it's still dead inside.

80% of the people who like Star Wars only feel that way because they saw the movies as children and grew up knowing the original trilogy was as close to a universally beloved classic as has ever existed. The weird thing is if you DON'T like Star Wars.

TFA was a true Star Wars movie, in true Star Wars style. Not dismissing any perspectives here, but if you liked the original trilogy and didn't like TFA, there's a strong chance that you also wouldn't like The Empire Strikes Back if you saw it for the first time today, with no hype whatsoever.

Doesn't count. On every "StarWarsy" platform most members of the SW fandom will be agreement that "all are good". On most other subredits, it's a meme thing to do to hate on the PT for upvotes.

Kudos for finding the /r/movies threads though. Didn't expect that, though the comments in the threads you linked are not all prequel shilling, but rather "it's baaaad, but I liked music/grievous/etc."

Still, I concede defeat. Well done.

Finn didn't "get" her because he didn't fucking make any moves on her, probably because they have good friend chemistry, not romantic chemistry. Your whining and lack of social understanding make me unsurprised these things are a source of baggage for you.

Lando's screentime was irrelevant, he was an important hero and a practically flawless badass. The principle is the same.

Leia was a strong womyn main character, and Jabba was a fat, disgusting, drooling analogue for the Patriarchy, dressing her in objectifying clothes and treating her like a literal slave. The sexy outfit was meant to stress that Jabba was a bad guy.

Hmm, I was deliberately cynical, didn't understand the hype and expected total OT nostalgia riding, but even I didn't expect it to be such a lazy repeat of ANH.

Lack of any experimentation hurts it, I think. Every Star Wars film was different (even if ROTJ repeated the Death Star plot point, the way to resolve it was different and it wasn't a race against the clock like in ANH). Even if I didn't like AOTC, I could still applaud every film of the franchise for being different. The only piece of originality TFA brings is the girl protagonist, and even that was sort of covered by TPM, where there is no one "hero journey" except for Padme's, but TPM was a kid film, so nobody noticed it.

It pisses me off how this movie has created this polarizing effect between me and my friends

There's a few things we can agree on about what we liked about the movie: sound design, visual effects, including the puppets (fuck off OP, they weren't that bad)
But mostly they call me a hater for not falling on my fucking hands and knees for praising this movie

It really had shit writing and the most unoriginal plot since Avatar and non of the characters were even the slightest bit cool. Maybe Po, bust honestly non of them had that "whoa" factor

It seems that normies these days just expect us all the love this garbage that major studios are spoon feeding us because "star wars, man"

Like Rouge One - another fucking movie about a death star with contrived and flat characters. I thought this movie was gonna be about a gritty squad of X-Wing fighters in the war against the empire, but it looks more like a re-hash of the mission to capture Leah in the the first Star Wars, with a protagonist that looks like a teenage girl

"you're just being a hater" fuck off

Hopefully a director and writer will come along and make something original and interesting but for that to really happen, the executives would have to release their death grip from creative aspects, which just won't happen.

Fuckin Disney

"True Star Wars Style" is a subjective thing. The directors of VII and VIII don't even agree on that.

The duckling effect usually works with the fans, and when fans become the creators (hey jay jay) they happen to harp on "True Style" that they have seen instead of experimenting. The only "style" George ever described for Star Wars is "a family drama in space", otherwise each film is not like the other.

Abrams could have introduced us to new, never before seen biomes of alien planets, cool new starfighter models, giant spaceships and galactic empires, but instead he focused on "repeating the true style". I just can't respect that or have fun with that, as a Star Wars fan.

>refuted

Seriously?

How do you even refute caustic meme critics who work for the audience and echo chamber? RLM, who are literal comedians doing this for their "character image" are not even normal critics for God's sake.

I'd rather trust Roger Ebert, who wrote his opinions on Star Wars long before the "le bad prequels" Internet meme, and he said this:
>TPM: good, but sort of repeats ANH structure, thus can't be in any way seen as "revolutionary" like George wanted.
>AOTC: terribad, George tried to write romance, and he can't write romance, so it sucked, Anakin was becoming the evil asshole too early
>ROTS: George got his shit together and produced the Star Wars we deserved, 5/5

I generally agree with him, though I liked the Obi-Wan Detective portions of AOTC, and hated TPM more for being, if I may say, "Disney Star Wars Before Disney". It's like a literal Disney cartoon, with little kids and young teens saving the day, useless adults, and the Obligatory Annoying Comic Relief Character.

Hmm...

Probably, yes. I think Williams wasn't fully in it during the original Star Wars, then produced masterpieces for Empire, kinda sucked in Jedi (except for the Emperor's themes), but in TPM there's not a single film with forgettable music. Maaaybe AOTC is a little worse than the others, plus TPM's soundtrack was heavily reused.

>>68854888
What went wrong? It feels like aside from Jedi Steps and the First Order theme he just copy pasted his old music and phoned it in.

You know, I like how both the otfags and the prequelfags can agree on the fact that ESB is the best. It's just well-rounded film all around (lol).

I think the main division point is whether or not ROTS is good or not. I dunno, I think ROTS is better than ROTJ even (I really hated the Jabba shenanigans, with ugly aliens eating each other, and the ewoks, and the Endor Battle in general), but overall, I think most fans can agree that something went wrong with AOTC and TPM.

Why is V considered as the best?
>The movie starts with 20 minutes of awesome models, explosions, and adventurous action
>The rest is about characters talking, and okay special effects or crap like Vader throwing crates lazily.

VI would be the best had the used wookies instead of ewoks.

At this point VII was the best for how safe it was.

Have in mind that I consider SW as a whole to be shit tier manchild bullshit much like capeshit.

It's great music, but as soon as the Production Dept. removed the models and environments, the Composer removed much of the brass sound, so it's very heavy on strings.

It was easily the most boring in the series up until the Arena scene, what movie did you watch?
>>
>>68855436
They gave them a soap opera relationship and it is really what ruined Vader as a character.

It went from being a competent general, to a drama heavy character.

SW best bits is when they stick to x-wing vs tie fighter action. The rest is no where as good.

EP VII at least has some of the best X-wing takes...ruined entirely by the new death star.

>It can destroy 5 PLANETS now! Woah!

That was retarded in the books, and it did not get any less retarded in the adaptation.
>>
>>68855547
Star Wars is a collaboration of filmmaking, Lucas didn't make ANH, ESB, or Return by himself.

He didn't even direct episode V and VI.
>>
>>68855611
but that drama is what made SW so popular.

"No, I AM you father" is iconic for a reason.

This. And TFA music was the worst in my opinion.

That being said I enjoyed TFA. I actually really enjoyed Boyegas performance. I can see why people criticize it saying that it copied too much from the OT, but I can also understand why JJ wanted to keep it as close to the originals as he can for his first outing. Really the only thing that annoyed me about TFA is that it at times seemed like it was a pissing contest between the originals.

He did. Kershner or Marquand weren't there to really leave their mark since Lucas was breathing down their neck all the time (the very same reason there was no way Lucas could have been involved with TFA because it wouldn't have worked creatively). The directors for ESB and ROTJ were essentially traffic cops directing a tv show. The differences (if any) would be marginal had Lucas directed them, because he practically directed them.

the only collaboration involved are with the technical artists which Lucas also directs and cherry picks from their material.

the major differences in ANH and ESB/ROTJ is that ANH had small edits done to the script to add punch lines and humour by American Graffiti co-writers. These were slowly phased out through ESB and ROTJ because they weren't necessary according to Lucas.

There will be side movies but they will be stand alone stories with no sequels and the main episodes will not be affected by them at all.
