I like good films, thats logical to me!

Scott Eastwood is a terrible actor…trying to hard to act like his old man. Especially in the recent western he was in diablo which was just horrendous in comparison to the amazing film the revenant!

JJ is a professional director. If someone gave either of us that much money, we’d make a shit film.

Not me.

A professional director that makes shit films. If that money had been given to a proper director we might have had something well executed in terms of narrative structure , time lapses and pace. What we got is a series of flashing images in succession. Kis would have worked better, they should have concentrated on character development and plot rather than an epileptic extravaganza.

In TFA, nothing like this ever happens. When people need to run into each other, they just do it. It comes across as contrived.

I find the fact that out of all the sandcrawlers R2 and C3P0 just end up being on the same one to be contrived. But that’s just me.

They were both in the same vicinity when they parted company , both are relatively slow walkers, movers so it’s not that implausible.

The worst thing about TFA was the lack of dead Ewoks.

Well they did cut the scene where Ren goes to Endor to get grandfather’s mask. 😉

They cut 30 years of the past as well.

Look on the bright side, 30 years of past was untainted. 😃

True. Shame the same can’t be said for the future

My complaint ridiculous? The film isn’t very good is my complaint! I watched it a third time…and it gets worse every time… I can watch the OT over and over for all its faults they are timeless classics… Tfa will not stand the test of time it’s a forgettable action movie with star wars references.

In fact i did have a problem with the fantasy…as the magic was non existent in tfa… When you compare it the true trilogy.

The ewoks helped win because it served the purpose of the story, why isn’t it believable? Vietnam did well against a super power with primitive weaponry in comparison. Also the whole saga is fantasy so the realism isn’t even present in the first place.

Oh ok. So you didn’t have any problem with these elements of TFA either.

Had no problem with the fantasy just the actual film as you already know 😦

Tfa has no place in anything…apart from the rushes bin

The millennium falcon navigating an asteroid field is believable…

The only thing about Jedi that has ever bothered me is when Luke puts his saber down when confronting the emperor prior to being electrocuted, bit of an OB1 moment as he must have known saying i’ll never turn to the dark side would mean his own demise.

I forgot to mention one part of the structure that blew my mind it was so absurd.

So when Chewie, Finn, and Han are looking for Rey and running around in Starkiller base, which is presumably enormous, and of which there is zero indication that they’ve memorized the complete blueprint/layout of, they suddenly spot her across this huge chasm. SECONDS LATER, they are IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HER. THE BASE IS THE SIZE OF A SMALL CONTINENT.

Like, I know we cut the full time of them running through this or that corridor because it would be boring, that’s fine, but in this insanely huge base, how the fuck did they find the EXACT room she was in AT ALL?

No rationalizations, please. Did I miss some detail? Because this was immediately absurd to me as I watched. Like how did they even know how to get to that area across this freaking chasm, much less to orient themselves well enough to arrive at her exact level and specific room? Without a homing transponder of some sort, in real life they would be running around for potentially hours trying to connect with her location, especially since she’d be on the move at the same time.

Are we going to just rationalize this as a “the Force guided their path” moment? Ugh. I’d assume it was the Force that led the trio to see her across the chasm, sure. But the sheer amount of area and corridors to traverse and rooms to check - without being obstructed, caught, hopelessly lost, or alarms being raised either - that’s a tendon-snapping stretch.

wasn’t there a cheesy wipe to show the passing of time?

Rip David Bowie absolute legend. Gutted

I vote for Ridley Scott, could do with an English touch tbh

I didn’t understand the part where a storm trooper finds a DROID part, I’m presuming it was meant to be off R2 or 3po but they were intact?

The ultimate nerd defense of anything is to say “it was in the script!”

Are we allowing the script defense for TFA as well?

I believe the word you are looking for is ‘defence’…

I actually typed that by accident, and my Anerican browser corrected it.

I guess your browser uses simplified English instead of traditional.

Is that how Americans’ spell America?

If the novels are to be the final word on anything, then Uncle Owen and Ben are related, as the ROTJ novelization says so. 😉

I think there’s logic in that because uncle Owen seems to know ob1 in anh.

Edit: Actually I just realised in attack of the crap isn’t Owen described as Anakin’s step brother!

I think the words your lucking for are “you’re” and “looking.”

My smart phone isn’t that smart. On a forum I don’t really try just to annoy grammar wolves like you!

hmm not much in the movie to like. one of the dumbest was line “thats the republic”, soo the republic consists of about ten planets?

I don’t remember who said this and what exactly they said, can you elaborate?

I think the destruction of the republic was some what bypassed.

I think ren will probably fondle Vader’s manky helmet and be visited by Anakin/Vader’s ghost for sure, probably try and turn him to the light as apposed to the dark. I’d hate to see a force ghost that has a similar juxtaposed conflict to ren whilst communicating.
