What was your favorite creative idea in the Force awakens?
Mine was C3PO's red arm
>>69008792
oh yeah what was up with that
I assumed it was to get around some licensing problem
I kinda like the new dish on the Falcon.
>>69010522
>everyone has a c3-po toy
>give him a red arm
>everyone needs a new toy
>>69010668
oh I see its apparently supposed to reflect the passage of time like he's an outdated model and its like mismatched car doors
I still wouldnt rule out a licensing issue. The original designers retain control over the image. Thats why so many superheroes look different.
>>69010533
I like it better desu

I'd be surprised. Apparently they didnt even make a figure for the main character originally and everyone threw a shit fit.
>>69010987
I'm just joking. I've read the art book and from what I can tell Disney didn't really butt in too much with the production. Only thing the shoehorned in as far as I can tell is BB-8. It was JJ that went with the safe plot that he calls a reintroduction. Nobody will believe that Disney is letting Lucasfilm more or less handle the films.
I liked it when the bad guys tried to use a Death Star to win for the 3rd time

When will the bad white cis people learn?
>>69010522
he beat chewy at holochess
>>69010859
>Check Wookiepedia
>C3PO is at least 160 years old
Damn.
>>69008813
>JJs lunch in his holster
It was so creative the way it just went back to being gold at the end of the movie without it ever being explained for even a second
It was a nod to Venom Snake's hand in MGSV. JJ and Kojima are good friends.

this
>>69008792
Theres a comic that was released last month explaining what happened.
To sum it up, its an arm of a lost bot friend that he wears to remember all the bots that had meaningless lives.
>>69012567
Or rather, died meaningless deaths.
>>69008792
Giving lightsabers sentience

>>69012583
so it's hisphantom pain
>>69008792
>>69012647
So which was more disappointing, the Phantom Pain, or Episode 7?
>>69012567
Fucking stupid bullshit, just like the fucking stupid rip-off movie.
>>69012182
No
He was built by anakin.
>>69012763
Phantom Pain
I didn't have any hope for ep7.
>>69012763
Phantom Pain is only disappointing if you expect a BB story.
>>69012892
He seems to have some Clone Wars episodes that follow him before he got dumpstered on Tatooine.
>>69012928
Or a story that contributes ANYTHING to the Metal Gear Series plot.
STANDING
>>69013008
ON THE EDGE
>>69012966
It does that quite a bit, it's just not anything very important. Tbh I liked the fact that the story is stand alone.
>>69013044
Thy why didnt they title it something like "Metal Gear Venom: Phantom Pain" instead?
You could ignore it completely, and lose nothing to the overall plot of the series.
>>69012966
>Or a story that contributes ANYTHING to the Metal Gear Series plot.
>Skull Face is the one to blame for Zero's condition in 4. If he wasn't a vegetable in the 80s the outcome would've been different
>It estabilishes Big Boss as a manipulative bastard who is totally ok with people being murdered in hospitals and taking on his role
>It shows why Miller is so angry in MG2
>It shows why Liquid wants vengeance on Big Boss and how he got to meet Mantis
Basically its role is so strengthen the plot of the other games.
>>69012957
No he fucking didn't.....
>>69013114
But anon, V stands for Venom. It's a spin off, just like PW. Konami called it "five" for marketing purposes. After all, a numbered entry will sell better than a spinoff.
>>69013207
Nigguh, you dont strengthen the plot of ANYTHING, by adding an important character in the fucking 3rd act.
It hurt The Office and it hurt the Metal Gear series.
>>69012966
or a story AT ALL
>>69008813
>>69012556
Ugh. As much as I hate JJ, it's shit like this (and 2009 Trek, and the Armageddon script, and even Super 8) that's why I just can't.
Can I actually have a fair amount of respect for his ability as an evocative popcorn filmmaker and still think that he was totally the wrong choice for Star Wars (or got too caught up in the importance of the project and was too afraid to give it the thorough 2009 Trek-style shake-up that it desperately needed?)?
>>69008792
>What was your favorite creative idea in the Force awakens?
I can't really say there were any creative ideas in the movie. The only remotely interesting inclusion was Kylo Ren being a bitchy teenager despite throwing a tough face. Everything else was safe, focus group tested bland mush
>>69013273
nice /v/ meme
>>69008792
C3P0 goes nuclear?
>>69013445
This, desu senpai.
Although the Star Destroyer design without a prominent bridge tower (just like a bunch of SSD concept art from TESB) was a fairly "edgy" choice that looked spectacular on screen.
>>69012567
They're made to suffer, it's their lot in life.
>>69013226
>Components of what would become C-3PO were originally manufactured on the world of Affa over a century before the Invasion of Naboo.[16] In an early incarnation, C-3PO served as a protocol droid to the chief negotiator for the Manakron system.[17]
I've seen to miss the source inbetween. It points to some book that contains the trivia. My bad, but it still seems to be canon.

V stands for Venom. every other metal gear was numbered not roman numeral.
>>69013317
Looks like pedobear
>>69008792
I liked when he gets his gold arm back in time to wave bye-bye to R2, Rey, and Chewie.
>>69010987
What the hell are you talking about?
>>69012892
Anakin's built him from salvage. He didn't manufacturer him or program him to be a queer.
>>69010859
Disney owns all of Star Wars and all Star Wars intellectual property, there are no designers throwing a bitch fit about the arm
>>69013317
Looks like a character from Unreal Tournament 2004.

>scorpio from swtor
new stormtrooper helpmets, kylo rens mask, bb 8, capt phasma, stormtrooper melee weapon, ancient unstable lightsaber
Chrome-plated, presumably lightsaber resistant stormtrooper.
Which they completely wasted by letting her get manhandled by the Wookie, while giving the anti-Jedi melee weapon to a random mook who gets killed in less than a minute.
