Sorry, didn’t realize there was another page and the thread refocused from that shit. Sorry.

How come y’all have a problem with this but not Luke’s expert piloting and his ability to use the force to target a laser torpedo into a narrow exhaust port with like ten minutes of training from Ben?

Edit: the only difference between the two characters that would make Rey a "Mary Sue " but not Luke is that Rey is a girl, and it’s really hard to pretend otherwise.

Didn’t this already happen before, and it turned out to be nothing exciting?

Oh phooey, Frink. You don’t even get excited when they change the homescreen images on sw.com to a screenshot from the OT!

lol I’ve calmed down a bit since then 😛

Someone had posted this a while back. 2011 rocks but 2004 krayt dragon call.

That’s it, I’m throwing my entire set in the trash.

Yeah, of all the nerve to call that an OUT.

If that’s how you feel. Still happened and explains how she managed to fly the Falcon.

EDIT:

She found the ship and I think the flight simulator was in there as well. So with that being said there’s nothing wrong with any of this.

The key thing that people miss is that Unkar Plutt raised her on Jakku. She hasn’t been on her own the whole time. I imagine growing up she was a sort of servant to Plutt, working for him (on ships and such, which is why she knows so much about the Falcon - his ship) until she was probably 18 or so and then had to fend for herself. Would be smart for him to teach her to know the ways around a ship so that if he needed repairs he could just get her for dirt cheap.

great points all.

I will say, so little back story was explained, that i guess you could either go the accept it for now route, which some of us are taking, or you could go the ‘it isn’t all explained therefore it is dumb’ route, which a few others are taking. Since it is a story, i choose the ‘accept if for now’ route.

I’m I hearing Rey origins Trilogy???

Actually I’m pretty sure ray mentions having been trained on a simulator, doesn’t she?

And to add now, I haven’t seen this movie since I was a kid. It just brought me to tears. And I must say the added scene in the signature edition is well done and a good addition. Apparently they didn’t have time and/or budget to animate it before but it was in the original storyboard. What George said about the OT except actually true here.

Lol even the special edition bd of the Iron Giant gives you the option to watch the theatrical cut, but we can’t get the same courtesy from Lucasfilm.

I have to say, if Lucasfilm “stole” some of the ideas from the restoration/preservation forum, I’d be thrilled.

The Emperor was a force wielder you dote. He’s even your Avatar!

they went to see if the 3D was any good. And then in six months’ time they had largely forgotten it.

(geeks mostly hate it for reasons I don’t understand).

It’s boring nonsense that ends with a guilt trip.

Pretty cool

Ah, wasn’t clear as you said you knew the stuff existed. Now it makes sense, but why would you want any of that except 7? One of the things the SEs ruin is good editing, whcih is completely absent in the PT

Unnecessary question marks added here and there?

That, or they already have one of their own. Who knows.

Honestly, I’d take a new transfer of the SE. I wouldn’t be thrilled about it if it wasn’t released alongside the OUT, but I’ll support anything that results in that awful Lowry master being retired.

I think a home release of that in the absence of an OUT is unlikely. There’s not enough AV nerd Star Wars fans out there to make it worthwhile. Your average fan isn’t going to buy it if they already own the box set.

I’d go with the former

Where did you get your wife? I want one 😛

Because you’re a monster?

Why do you even watch this show? You obviously don’t like it.

I honestly can’t fathom why 20th C. Fox would give a shit at this point. Sure, they’re mad they couldn’t bid on Lucasfilm, but you’d think at this point they’d just want to make as much dinero as they can before their home/theater distribution rights expire, which is a quickly approaching inevitability.

Why are Lando and Han, two scoundrels who had little to no interest in the Rebellion, suddenly generals capable and willing to lead the Rebellion’s final attacks?

Yeah, I always hated the way anyone could become a goddamn general in this franchise without being a commissioned officer/having any military experience beforehand.

Yeah, it’s almost as if they’re a ragtag band of rebels rather than a well-organized military with an established and stable hierarchy.

The surprising part of the trailer (for me) is the huge space battle. We really need a good space battle: TFA space battle wasn’t very imaginative, TPM’s was too short

Superkid Ani was in it so by default it was too long.
