[Discussion] Star Wars: Force Awakens

This is exactly how I felt walking out of the theater. The movie was a bit overhyped for me, which never helps—it's always best to go in with low expectations and be pleasantly surprised than vice versa. I can confidently say that if they hadn't recasted the original actors I wouldn't have had much interest in it at all. The old cast definitely helped solidify it as an actual Star Wars sequel.

And yeah, Kylo Ren is a disappointingly weak villain.

Agreed.

Spoiler: RE: Kylo Ren

Agreed about Kylo Ren, what a disappointing villain. Reminded me of the old "emo spiderman" when Spiderman 3 came out. I hope the next film does him some justice and brings back some of that evil presence that Vader had on the screens all those years ago. Now there was a badass character that was respected and feared.

To be fair, he's a Sith in training. Obviously, this is just the first of the three, so I assume that by the time we get to the third movie, he'll have completely changed and maybe grown up.

Spoiler: SPOOOOOIIIIIIILERRRR

He would seriously want to get a little more menacing and ominous by the third! Obviously always going to be compared to Darth Vader for multiple obvious reasons. Just don't know if he'll ever escape Vader's shadow...?

Anyone know when the next one is being released? I heard somewhat around 2018? Also there is talk about Indiana Jones.

I think they used the comparisons for nostalgic purposes, to get the crowd excited. He'll be a little bit less Darth Vader in the next two I reckon.

Episode VIII is out on the 26th of May 2017, however there's an unrelated Star Wars movie by Disney named Rogue One: A Star Wars Story set to be released December 16th this year.

They seriously fucked up not making it May the 4th.

i wish they just made a 2 part. Honestly the last scene how they ended is annoying the hell out of me. Least Mark Hamill could of said 1 word or sneezed.

 

[Xier0]

Can't really agree with much. I thought it was a huge disappointment. I'm going to be rewatching all of the other ones soon but I think I'll still like the originals better.

Spoiler: stuff

Mr evil dude was such an annoying pussy. All of the bits about the parent / child relationship were awful and cringeworthy. The Han death scene was so obvious and stupid. Like it is them clearly trying to add some character depth in the most obvious and mass market way possible. Its like them shouting "LOOK AT ME AND MY TORTURED SOUL LOOK PLEASE LOOK PLEASE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK" which is just obnoxious.

The plot was also just the old movies all over again. Also the cheese factor is too damn high. They also make jokes which is good but then they make sure that absolutely everyone will understand. The put in a literal fuck ton of references to the old movies and then they made them as obvious as possible and just kept hammering them. The scene about throwing her into a trash chute was a good reference until they kept going and going on about it.

^ Summed it up perfectly. Mass Appeal at its finest.

My friend and I were discussing basically exactly that, we missed a couple points mentioned in that article. The number one speaking point for that theory would be the accent though.

The only ones so far are..

-Obi
-Ray
-C3PO ( if you want to add him)

 

[sReggin]

It was an ok movie, not really my thing though :/

Yeah exactly - and to me the other option is WAY too obvious. The second option which involves the accent would be a much better twist in the story.

To support my theory i want to add the fact that she is good with fixing problems on spaceship. Just as Luke and his father were she is also a good pilot.

Great movie!

Loved this as a movie. Was crap compared to the other Star Wars in my opinion. I disliked a lot of what they did....recycled way too much.
