Star Wars: The Force Awakens [SPOILERS ABOUND]

My explanation of Ren's lightsaber comes straight from the Episode 7 visual dictionary. I dunno if it's retconning, since I'm not trying to revise anything about the movie. However, the video was funny.

 

Nope still love it. But then again, I don't watch TV or other media where you are captive to marketing. It hasn't made it into the video games I play unless I'm playing a Star Wars game (no, not playing the new Battlefront...)

Don't forget the Asian Rebel/Republic/Side-With-Brown-Uniforms General.

And he was a pretty bad actor being directed by a horrible director who can't direct living human beings.

 

I'm on the verge of starting an "In defense of..." thread.

You guys are old and grouchy.

 

The problem was that Anakin in the prequels was a completely different character than Vader in the originals. Anakin in the prequels was a just a whiny, psychotic murderer whom the original trilogy Obi Wan would've force kicked off a cliff about two seconds after the first time he starts f'ing with him. Obi Wan chops peoples arms off for tapping his shoulder and hassling him at a bar. So you'd think if old Obi Wan behaves like The Man with No Name or Sanjuro the ronin meets Merlin, young Obi Wan would be some crazy devil without a cause, whiskey priest meets samurai type. Instead prequel Obi Wan is an oblivious stuck up twit who quotes dialogue from the original movies as he's seen them somehow. This is almost every character from the original movies, even the Emperor. The writing in the prequels is just Charles Barkley "turrible."

JJ Abrams Star Trek Wars is better as it doesn't have people sitting on couches talking to each other or walking down CGI hallways talking to each other but it still as the pew pew pew shitty battles you don't care about and CGI monster people who don't do anything as this isn't a Pixar movie, this is Star Wars.

 

Who the hell green-lighted another $900 quadrillion for Death Star "Titanic" III? I'm hoping the scene from that board meeting is in the blu-ray extras. "f**k it. Let's do it!"

 

Of the three leading, whiney, petulant children in the three Star Wars trilogies, Kylo Ren so far is my favorite. Anakin was just annoying, Luke was great as a archetype but horribly boring as a character. At least Kylo Ren is more believable and slashes stuff when he's cranky.

In this movie we got more characters than archetypes and nobody dared talk about galactic politics for fear of sounding anything like the prequels.

And I thought Transformers I was terrible.

 

Spoiler

LOL, that would be cool.
She's sort of a force master so it would make sense. Kind of funny that she was left on that planet just like luke on tattooine. But she'll be OP. She controlled that stormtrooper, and she wasn't teached, and also almost didn't knew what the force is, LOL! WTFCK?!

Hope that the Kylo dude don't redeem himself, boy deserve a force stroke, althought I'm pretty sure they will make he a good dude in the end, errr

And Kylo is shit with the lightsaber, but, wasn't he the one who betrayed the new "jedi academy" that Luke had, and killed everybody? How could he have killed everybody if he lose for a noob?!

BTW I liked the movie

 

rough crystal?
Uhnn wasn't red crystals supposed to be artificial and so they should be "perfect",
oh f**k, almost 10 years reading comics, playing games, and now, all that old canon stuffs are gone.

 

Some kind of cracked crystal according to the dictionary.

 

exactly that.. and Rey was cute .... girl power !

 

All the badguys felt really easy. That's the Dizney imposing itself, I never felt the goodguys were in much danger. Too much good luck I guess. I had high expectations and I should'va had none, I wasn't wowed. It's a good movie, despite the boring plot with very little surprises, and it's pretty fun, but I'm not as excited for the next two films as I was for this one.

 

"Please grampa, tell me about all those evil things you did!"

I mean, that was a kinda deepish part right there, since Kylo thinks Vader was this all powerful evil motherfucker when he actually was a good guy in the end and was forgiven, so that was an alright part of the movie, but he commanded no respect, and neither did bighead supreme leader. The Emperor was so much more mysterious and dark. Supreme leader just sounds too anime-e for some reason, and noone seemed to respect anyone. Kylo also sucked at swordplay, since TR-8R seemed to keep up fairly well even though he had zero experience with lightsabers.

 

Do you think Darth Vader would have invoked bone-chilling fear at that age? We saw him in his mid 40s after many many years growing into his role.

Also, I thought the opening village scene was about as evil/cold as you can get.

 

All he did was kill one dude, and sure, the whole force power freeze time thing was cool, but noone seemed to care all that much. It wasn't like "Holy shit, look at that, I'm afraid of him."
