http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-05-04/jj-abrams-removed-anakin-skywalker-references-from-final-cut-of-star-wars-the-force-awakens

>The flags are designed to drive superfans nuts with references to the earlier movies, but Abrams tells Guyett that too many of them allude to the first of Lucas’ prequels: “I don’t want to be too about podracers,” he says. “I’d rather come up with our stuff.”

>“I’d rather come up with our stuff.”
>“I’d rather come up with our stuff.”
>“I’d rather come up with our stuff.”

Bravo.

Hardcore SW nerds either seem to "like" Ep 7 out of fear of ostracism or flat-out hate it. The people who love it are marveldrone casuals and normies.

I mean they hated the prequels too, as they should, but the prequels didnt get universal near-militant acclaim.

90% of people disagree, but that point aside episode 4's screenwriter, producer, editor, cinematography, and special effects overseer were all jewish
>>
>>69716190
Episode 4 had a catina bar scene, so episode 7 needed it as well.

That's the only reason. Episode 7 doesn't have a coherent plot insofar as mimicking episode 4

This. Most of the people who like TFA like it because either it's their first Star Wars movie and trying to fit in (lol omg such a nerd amirite Dark Vador bazinga lel XD), or just blinded by nostalgia and hype.

Not even the podracing, because who give a shit, but the fact he actually said "I'd rather come up with our stuff" and then shat out TFA is fucking insane

Prequelfags are people who think lightsaber and podrace shit are cool and make up for the flaws stories

OTfags are people who think muh Star Wars is some adult story that is a no kids zone and pretend it's so much more

Star Wars fans are the worst

Phantom Menace is more of a consistent, beat-by-beat remake of the original Star Wars than Force Awakens was, and you know it.

I only saw TFA just now because I expected it would be shit and I was right. Jesus Christ, it was barely even a movie but like an expensive fan tribute or something.

>>69716453
The OT are well made kids movies, with a balanced mix of character arcs, exposition/worldbuilding and adventure.

Prequels were a confused mess that tried to cater to small children and hardcore fans at the same time while alienating everyone else.

TFA is made for people who pretend to like Star Wars but wanted a Marvel superhero movie instead.

Dude who was 10 when Ep. 1 came out, here. This is honestly how I would rank SW based on enjoyment.

dude if we have to follow that you'd have to cut like half of episode VII

>>69717962
my first star wars movie was ep. I.

IV and V have astonishing atmosphere even if IV feels a little hollow and slow paced.

>>69717981

Guy who was 19 when Ep. 1 came out here. Swap 2 and 7 and that's my list too.

Yea this, theres nothing actually happening in it, its cool and all but after the first time and the spectacle has worn off its just another pointless scene, and the preceding leadup to it was long as fuck even though it all essentially amounted to nothing. It was suppose to show Anakin was a great pilot, but thats it? Couldve hard Darth Maul on the track doing Dick Dastardly shit and actually having something plot relevant happening.

You know what was neat about hte pod racing scene? Anakin doesnt say anything, hes acting. This was the only sequence where the actor doesnt make you want to throttle him. There in lies the problem with these movies, too much talking, alot of characters saying shit means there are alot more opportunities for a character to say something stupid.

>>69718079
can't find myself to enjoy VI

the ewoks were just too retarded. completely ruined my enjoyment of the truly good parts.

III, while well performed, felt very soulless to me, like a generic action flick. II had more self-contained fights that felt like they had more weight. Maybe it is better than II, i dunno. haven't seen it in years.

I's design, despite feeling kinda childish, had both excellent atmosphere and gorgeous design.

I do agree with you, I'd probably put PM higher if the anti-cheese edit was the actual release

FA was great when I saw it in the cinema but when I watched it again there wasn't really anything good minus the nostalgia pandering.

Podracing > The Force Awakens

>>69718313
I think it stands good on it's own. I loved the synergy of the new team. or rather, i loved the synergy between finn & poe and finn & ray, as the other two never interacted.

I liked how they tried to stay as far as they could from CGI and that they managed to capture the atmosphere of the OG pretty well. The funny moments felt natural (which is my greatest pet peeve with the star wars frachise, it simply can't into humour)

In fact, I'd say that the movie went down a notch when solo appeared. It started out great until he blurted that i have a bad feeling about this. Then the fucking Starkiller appeared, jesus christ that was retarded.

My greatest problems where:

1. non force user Finn actually using a lightsaber effectively, this triggers my inner sw nerd.
2. Starkiller "let's point a tractor beam to the sun, what could possibly go wrong" base and the first order in general was beyond retarded.
3. lightsaber combat felt like 2 guys gay slapping each other
personal taste beyond this point
4. ray shouldn't have been skywalker's daughter. a story about a new jedi would have been pretty great. I want to see stubborn kid, sweating nigra and space greaser having adventures in space, dangit

t. finished watching the movie 30 minutes ago
>>
>>69718653
>non force user Finn actually using a lightsaber effectively, this triggers my inner sw nerd.

He didn't use it very effectively, he got his ass kicked every time he used it
>>
>>69718653
>ray shouldn't have been skywalker's daughter.
She's not.
>>
Force Awakens was just a movie to me. Good or bad, the other Star Wars had that fucking Star Wars feeling, where it just feels like Star Wars. I watched Force Awakens once, and I could give a flying fuck if I never see it again.
>>
>>69719266
>
>>
>>69716303
Exactly
>>
>>69719073
you don't just grab a beam projector for the first time in your life and use it as a 100% unbalanced super sword without melting you face off

ironically, finn's movements where the best ones, if a little too simple compared to both prequel and trilogy. Ren and Rey's final fight genuinely felt like two effeminate kids slapping each other

>>69719266
it's heavily implied

a "you are not my daughter" moment would be great in the next movie, tho'
>>
>>69715623
Honestly, it didn't make much sense for his flag to be there
>pirate clans
>mandalorians
>a kid who won one podracing competition 65 years ago
Like, i don't really care one way or another, but including it feels more like a nod to the audience than something that makes sense in-universe
>>
>>69719785
Why would JJ just edit that single flag out though? How petty do you have to be?
>>
>>69719867
i agree, but frankly it should never have really been there in the first place
>>
It's ironic because the podracing scene alone was better than TFA.
>>
>>69719572
Why not. Pretty simple, you just point the beam away from yourself.
>>
>>69719572
Also, Finn is probably force-sensitive
>>
All the other podracing flags are there though.
Anakin's was the only one taken out.
>>
>>69717662

Cringe. You're reaching so fucking hard.
