Who cares? In Star Wars there wasn’t even a mention of “Jedi Master’s”

But there was in ESB

For a reveal that the Jedi Order was founded to defeat Snoke, but Snoke corrupted one of the Jedi, and this corrupted Jedi then founded the Sith. Now that the Sith have been wiped out, Snoke has taken things back into his own hands.

Oh God no.

I think he meant he was once a Jedi Knight, but now he’s a hermit on a godforsaken desert planet.

What other one do you own? Why not the others?

The reason ROTJ get’s flack is because of the Ewoks who kill the pacing and diminish the Empire due to them being a big reason in why they fall. Also Leia being Luke’s sister is universe shrinking but with the “I’ve always known” line makes their whole history almost nauseating. Furthermore they just made them siblings in order to resolve the love triangle so it doesn’t feel like a natural part of the story but rather a cop out. Luke’s temptation should have been a lot more than Palpatine saying “Your friends are going to die” a million and one times. And as shitty as SKB was Death Star 2.0 was a more overt rehash than that one. Lastly and most importantly imo the destruction of the Death Star and the loss of Vader and Palpatine shouldn’t have been the end of the war. With all the other ships, troops and Imperial Officers the war would have realistically gone on for years to come. But all that is thtown out of the window for a phony fairy tale ending.

EDIT:

Not saying it’s a bad film; it’s pretty good but it was a bad way to end the trilogy. Especially if it had been the last film in the saga.

Well doesn’t TFA reveal the war did continue? This particular problem only arises to some degree with the special edition ending.

1. Who gives a damn about the political specifics? Did the OT delve into these in any detail?

2. If Kylo had defeated Rey, the whole mystic behind her character would have been lost. She, a light side user, not Kylo, is the successor to Anikan.

3. More menacing? He killed his father in cold blood!

I get you on Snoke, but highly doubt that will happen. What is the source of your concern about lightsaber color? Just curious. Where do you get yellow and purple from?

Unless, of course, he fathered a child from the “netherworld of the force” by “manipulating the midichlorions to create life.”

Isn’t she too young to be Ben’s daughter? Granddaughter perhaps. That’s actually what I’m rooting for.

And in the OT, scenes with non humanoids were special. The cantina in SW, Jabba’s palace in ROTJ. It was an event even for the protagonists, not just the audience, to be in these environments.

2.) First you criticize the characters for being in the same position they are in at the beginning of A New Hope, but then you criticize it for not being continuous with the Original Trilogy. Which is it?

There’s a difference between “The stories should not contradict each other” and “I want these characters to stand here and never move for ~20 years so that they can pick up exactly where the OT starts”

Precisely. IMO, a good prequel trilogy would have ended with Vader turning evil and only then a living Padme realizing she’s pregnant. The birth and distribution of the kids are completely unnecessary to depict.

It doesn’t even sound like the way 3PO normally speaks.

Maybe it was just Anthony Daniels speaking candidly when he thought the mic was dead after recording the sequence, and George decided to add it in.

That said, what about Rey? If one of the big parts of the prequels is that everyone is related, then it can be assumed that this new cast is related to nobody. And that includes Rey.

You mean that everybody who’s related in the OT is also related in the PT? I’m not a prequel sympathizer, but I don’t see how this is a prequelism.

The Force Awakens could have been more original by not being a Star Wars movie.

I meant no offense. I quite enjoy DE’s disdain for the EU. It’s just ironic, that’s all.

Ironic that your username is double batteries while so many of your posts are buzzkill.

I don’t know what’s more weird, that Luke looks like he’s going fly fishing in that vest, or Xizor’s freakishly long nails. He could maim himself just scratching an itch!

The vest kind of resembles the outer layer of the Hoth uniform, no?

If you’re grading on a 4-point scale 6-7/10 is a B-

Oh. Hm. I think maybe he’s saying that he’ll pretend for his own sanity that one beam destroyed the whole Hosnian system and the other four were errant/to other systems entirely.

I’d rather just accept that it’s a movie and that if Star Wars subscribed to physics it would be boring.

suspiciouscoffee said:

Huh?

He’s saying that you shouldn’t have been able to see the distinction between a sun and its planets from lightyears away in a different system, which is true.

About damn time 😃

EDIT: You should watch it a second time in like a week or two to reaffirm your position. It’s definitely a film that should be seen a second time.

Completely agree. For me, I found the initial Jakku sequence to be quite long and tedious on the first viewing. The second time the whole movie was phenomenal. Looking forward to seeing it a third time in just a week. 😃

I don’t like that they repeated the cliche trope of having a force-sensitive protagonist fly a spaceship. IT’S A REMAKE!!! bah humbug
