He failed at every task he was given in the film

So did Vader in STAR WARS…

Vader ‘killed’ Ben after a fair duel between the two. Ren murdered his unarmed father after tricking him into standing really close to him and stabbing him in the heart.

Ben…let himself be killed though…Why exactly are you using this in an argument?

Also Kylo killing his father in that manner is beyond sadistic. We never seen Vader do anything that cruel and he’s a fully formed villain.

I don’t think he is a poorly written character, I’m just confused about what appeal he has to anyone other than his helmet.

Potential

I just realized something big imo:

The build up to Rey and Kylo’s next confrontation feels really different this time around. I always looked forward to the fight more when it came to the Luke and Vader dilemma but with Rey and Kylo Ren I don’t really care about them fighting. Sure, I want to see Kylo kick her ass but then again I’m far more intrigued as to what their next conversation is going to be like. ROTJ and the end of ESB make me care about the dynamic between Luke and Vader but it never overshadows me wanting to see them duel each other but with these new films it’s different man.

Showing him his grandfather slaughtering little kids seem counterproductive to me. 😉

Kylo should already know what time it is when it comes to that. If he doesn’t he might want to consider what to say when he sees Luke, Rey, Leia, Poe, Finn and especially Chewie. He would choke Kylo so hard his eyes would fly out of his head at 90 mph.

Several of those questions about TFA are answered in the book. That is, if you care you know the answers to them, but you probably don’t.

Stuff like the relationship between the New Republic and the Resistance and why Han and Chewie found the Falcon so fast is explained in the movie as well. Also a line or two isn’t enough to please everyone. Some people needs things to be fleshed out a little more.

A slightly different opening crawl, a different selection of scenes (some of the stuff was filmed but cut… the BR does not have even a fraction of the deleted scenes and doesn’t have any of the good ones) and just a tiny bit more logical thought and this movie could have been error free and great. But that isn’t Abrams style. And no one should have to read the book to understand the movie. There is nothing in the movie about the republic having rotating capitals, nothing about it having a tiny fleet. Some of this can be inferred, but mostly it just doesn’t make sense. Abrams gave us the characters, the environment, but he failed to deliver the scope. His Star Wars is small. Lucas’s Star Wars is epic in scale. He has the First Order destroy one system and makes it sound like they destroyed the Republic. In Lucas’s Star Wars, Coruscant could be wiped out and the fleet would still exist, the regional governments would still exist.

You got me on the fleet part but beyond that reading the novelization isn’t necessary.

And the entire section of Rey and Finn escaping on the Falcon is full of holes. How did they evade the Star Destroyer?

Same way Luke evaded the small fleet that surrounded the Hoth System…no one really knows but at least in this case there is only one Star Destroyer vs many with the addition of a Super Star Destroyer/s.

Were they not tracking their ships on the surface?

That’s a thing in SW? Since when?

The Falcon should have been chased out of the atmosphere and jumped to hyperspace and then the hyperdrive fails and dumps them someplace for Han and Chewy to find (that could have been done in the current running time).

Admittedly that’s how I would have written it but that doesn’t mean the way it was done doesn’t work.

As it stands they fly into space and Han and Chewy pick them up instead of the New Order. What were Han and Chewy doing at Jakku and why didn’t the Star Destroyer bother them?

I think they were somewhere else when they finally tracked down the Falcon. This does however continue the problem of Hyperspace being inconsistent but it’s whatever as this is a problem that will never be fixed.

EDIT:

I just remembered the one guy on Yavin IV who tracked ships with some device and that scene in ESB where Vader tells someone to monitor Skywalker and allow him to land. But I don’t remember if they spotted his ship or tracked it. And if they tracked it when exactly did he pop up on their scanners? Rey and Finn were far beyond the atmosphere of Jakku so it’s possible the scanners don’t have that type of range.

Well the franchise is worse off than it was than in 1997. Even if Disney gives the OUT in 4K quality, we still have to deal with half a dozen films that just cover the same ground as ANH/ESB. How many times can you see AT-AT’s in a film before the audience gets bored? Disney is a far more cynical filmmaking company than prequel-era Lucas ever was.

Who cares man? In a few decades nobody will give a **** about the prequels or Disney movies. They will eventually be scrapped and become lost films. This site is about preserving the classics: the OOT.

To die… To be truly dead… That must be glorious.

No doubt, brother.

The second layer of death is something I have pondered since adolescence and it has brought me mixed feelings. Yeah people have come back to tell tales of unyielding darkness, bright lights and things of the like but someone who had their head blown off by a shotgun is beyond saving and when one cannot be saved what happens? For all we know the reports people have made could be merely chronicling the early stages of being deceased and that bit of uncertainty frightens me.

There’s nothing in the rules that states I can’t post lyrics featuring racial slurs. Just that I can’t call anyone racial slurs.

But ignore me; I’ve just been listening to a lot of fucking Rap lately.

Lyrics from a song.

I would like to bitch about loose word usage, here…

The bolding of the word ‘song’ makes me think he’s calling into question whether rap is real music, rather than criticizing the lyrical content.

Can’t it be both? Can’t both be going on at the same time…?

Opinions aside I feel as though I am entitled to express my love for Rap in whatever way I choose. Rappers using the N-word just comes with the territory and the context in which it was used wasn’t even offensive. I don’t really see the problem.
