Shall we mention Kylo Ren’s temper tantrums? Makes Anakin’s whining and complaining seem absolutely normal.
So? Kylo Ren is immature and mentally ill; Anakin was just an asshole.
I dislike how she seems to be so strong and capable right out the gate. In ANH, Luke comes across as kind of an idiot, and only later with training grows.
And why exactly does our main protagonist have to be damn near pathetic in the beginning?
In comparison to Luke in ESB Rey is still well behind him so there’s still plenty of progression for her character
You might point out that he destroyed the Death Star by opening up to the Force with little prior instruction.
I also may point out that he deflected 3 bolts from the training droid when told to stretch out with his feelings; which is something anyone could have told him. Furthermore, he did this while his view was obstructed. But no one bats an eye at that either.
But Rey shows up able to pilot the Falcon through an escape that would make Han wince,
I’m not exactly sure you what mean? Wince as on wincing at how she almost crashed the Falcon before the chase even started? Or wincing at how she skidded it across the ground during the chase?
OR are you implying that he would wince at how good her performance is or that he would be wincing if he were in her shoes? Kind of hard to believe seeing as how this is the man the flew through an asteroid field as if he was walking down the goddamn sidewalk.
a ship she strongly implied to never have flown before
But she has flown other ships and he has had experience using a flight simulator. And even then her performance was pretty decent at best.
Also I retort with the fact that Luke had never flown an X-Wing before and still managed to do a more than fine job in a dog fight. Bullseying womprats in your T-16 is NOT like being in a space battle with pilots who are far more experienced than him.
as well as do things via the Force that Luke took years to discover.
She’s a fast learner but so is Luke apparently. At least when it comes to blast deflection.
And if I’m playing by your standards, this opinion has been very prevalent following the release of the film, so you must be objectively wrong for disagreeing.
A lot of people also think Kylo Ren whined in the film where the isn’t one line of dialogue to prove it and the definition of whining doesn’t suit his actions. Ever heard of a popular misconception?
Change her to male and none of this is any different.
The feats don’t chance but the perception of those feat do. I bet my right foot that if Rey was a male there wouldn’t be so many people bitching about it. There have been so many male characters that fit perimeters for being a Gary Stu but Rey…the first female protagonist in a Star Wars film is the one who is making the term nearly a household name/term. There’s definitely a correlation but I think most of the reason for the backlash is that she is more competent than Luke was in STAR WARS and since a lot of people’s view of the OT is so fragile it somehow diminishes the character.
I don’t disagree with you, Frink, about any of the specific instances of clear trolling you cite.
Well, since I’m kinda mentioned in Frink’s list, I just want to remind that I have provided clear arguments against Rey as a character.
And like all of your misguided beliefs regarding TFA others and I refuted your “arguments”. In response you went on a temper tantrum simply because people disagreed with you and then made two antagonistic signatures. Then you proceeded with the forum equivalent of “IT’S A PRANK BRO”
I will however give you credit seeing as how you haven’t done anything of the like in a while.
The only way to accurately gauge Force Abilities now seeing as how Star Wars is so expansive is to put everything is under one umbrella. Meaning we should just assume Force Pushing is viable in the OT. Especially when Vader is able to hurl objects at Luke
^they’re not beating him up because he has ST stuff, but rather because he has the '09 Enterprise.
Deservedly so

So you are a SJW…why am I not surprised.
You’re on the wrong website. Here you go.
Because he’s pompous. I mean even when he was dueling Finn he could have killed him after their first pass but he chose to prolong the fight.
Plus arguing as to why AOTC is garbage is like arguing why Andrei Chikatilo is a piece of shit…they just are.
Watto who has a middle eastern like accent
His accent sounds Italian to me. *shrug*
Even if you disregard the accent there’s still enough to make what I’m saying stick
making fun of people for their opinions
And you find that (i.e. bullying) acceptable?
I only find real personal attacks to be bullying. People need to stop being so goddamn sensitive. Especially about their opinions.
Decent crawl but it doesn’t mention that the New Republic is secretly supporting The Resistance.
Other than making fun of people for their opinions (to which has become common place here) and being nasty toward people who say bigoted/insensitive things Frink doesn’t do any harm.
And this is coming from someone who used to get into it with Frink constantly and still does on occasion.
I agree. I felt as if it was just there to destroy the Hosnian System which may prove to be fine in the long run but as it pertains to how it effects TFA alone…it felt very shoehorned in.
Well that one defense
“Oh, it ain’t as bad as people would have you think”
I hope you don’t hold that against me. I completely understand why people think TPM was so racist. I’m just not convinced they’re 100% right.
I don’t think there is any ill intent with it but the characters are racist caricatures. From the timid aliens with heavy heavy Asian accents to Watto who has a middle eastern like accent, a beard, a long ass nose and is greedy. Jar Jar is a bumbling idiot who is reminiscent of Carribean and Black Face caricatures which is evident by the half assed way he speaks Basic.
And even as a mixed man I don’t hold it against you seeing as how you’ve never exhibited racist behavior.

Jar Jar is meant to be laughable so I don’t know why you hold that against him.
I think you can if the comedic aspect that he attempts to bring doesn’t work. Which is doesn’t
Jake Lloyd does an excellent job.
Even from a child acting standpoint he’s garbage. Makes Carrie Fisher in TFA look like Brian Cranston.
Well that one defense

and let’s not forget the racist angle of Jar Jar, the Nemoidians, and Watto.
I’d like to see someone try to worm their way around that shit.
Fair enough

For one you can’t surmise the quality of a finished product just from a teaser trailer.That’s implicit in disclaiming “from the trailer”.

Can we talk about the increase use of the word “fuck?” For the longest time, I thought curse words weren’t even ALLOWED here. Now every other post is fuck this, fuck that, fucking awesome, fucking whatever. I love the word “fuck” and use it on other forums, but long ago on a forum far, far away, when somebody on ot.com used “fuck” you knew they were being FUCKING SERIOUS. Hey, you wanna say fuck and shit and all that, go ahead, but if you took a look around the forums, you would have seen that this language wasn’t used often.
I think I’m responsible for this actually lol
Sorry
Damn. I’m somewhere near 120/mbs download area.
Also are you making multiple versions of this draft that vary in video quality?
Your download speed is 120 megabytes a SECOND? Fuck me, I get 2/mbs at best.
And trust me 120/mbs or anything around it is Bantha poodoo in comparison to something like Google Fiber which usually has 750-850/mbs
And consider yourself lucky because I used to have internet in the kb/s and this was only like 6 or so years ago.
