Even now there are folks who didn’t like the Vader slaughter scene in Rogue One. I mean come on man…

??? Why is it an issue if I didn’t like this?

It’s not a big deal but I find it strange just like I would find it strange that someone doesn’t like Anthony Hopkin’s portrayal as Hannibal Lecter.

Do I complain about it obnoxiously?

Nope

Too bad you can’t set someone “straight” with a well thought out argument…

Exactly. You have proven that you cannot be set straight with a well thought out argument.

You have to know about the source material to form a good argument. Or at least don’t contradict yourself and have an argument that makes some sort of sense and has some bearing on reality. That’s not too much to ask for.

I don’t understand why anybody would come here to complain about a movie that is over a year old now. It’s just a movie.

You mean like complaining about a movie that is almost 20 years old?
I don’t think time is really an issue for Star Wars fans wanting to complain about something.

And even seeing some of the complaints thrown at the PT makes it apparent that complaining is in our nature.

Even now there are folks who didn’t like the Vader slaughter scene in Rogue One. I mean come on man…

Have you seen it? If not then get that shit the fuck out of my face man.

I’ve seen what has lead into it…that is enough to predict the inevitability of what will occur. Man…

If you think the film is going to suck that’s fine but you’re saying it’s going to suck as if it’s an absolute certainty and that’s a different matter.

I’m pretty sure I’ve lost friends over that.

I have only lost one friend because of how I treat people while I just stopped talking to the rest or shut them out. He didn’t care for how I voiced my “displeasure” with how his girl treated him and her looks. As it pertains to the latter I would feel bad if he didn’t put me in positions in which I had to comment on her appearance.

I hate it when people give their two cents on my behavior. I have never claimed to be a good person or even a decent one so why chastise me as if I’m going into life wanting uo be good. The best someone like me can hope to be is a terribly flawed individual with redeeming qualities and I’m more or less okay with that.

You gave yourself good advice, now you should follow it.

The KOTOR comparison is interesting but the rest of his post/argument is not worth discussing. Though you could say that about the KOTOR comparison as it is just as asinine and ultimately makes him look like a hypocrite.

Both are suppose to be stories about finding something/someone. KOTOR reflects that in its plot perfectly, while TFA plot is full of random shit unrelated to the main point of the story.

They’re still different stories…just because Shutter Island and The Empire Strikes both have plot twists doesn’t mean that the story elements are interchangeable. This fact doesn’t make any of those films poorly written.

How was the ending of TFA bad? The final scene with her and Luke was amazing.

It left me with a burning itch to know how their first conversation played out. I think that’s the sign of a good ending but some prefer immediate gratification and that’s fine too.

The whole story is effectively unrelated to Luke. If it was done correctly, Luke’s disappearance would be the central driving force of the plot.

But it was. Your lying isn’t going to change the nature of the matter.

It was not. The film just pretends it to be, while in practice it is a random mess full of unrelated stuff. TFA has by far the worst plot of all SW films. Well if you can even call this messy shit a “plot”.

The plot should have slowly built up the suspense with clues and mysteries regarding his disappearance. Something like that would make the last scene meaningful and make the audience burning with anticipation. As it is now, it is just some random unrelated scene. Truly a horrible ending to a horrible storyline.

That’s one way they could have done it but it definitely isn’t the only viable option of making a plot revolving around finding Luke work. Get your head out of your ass.

Maybe but a random crap wrapped by a header and footer is not a viable option.

I’m not even going to do this. Just like the people who say Kylo whined in the film you’re dead wrong. This is not even an opinion based conversation; you’re just wrong. You can keep lying if it makes you feel but I’m not going to entertain that type of behavior.

I did not mean the reveal itself but the way the plot is done before the reveal and how it builds up the mystery and gradually gives more and more clues. They could have made Raven a different person that you find in the end and the existing plot would work just as well.

A Star Wars detective film is a nice idea but depending on the execution it could end up being better or worse than what we got. I don’t see it as being inherently better but if you do that’s fine; we’ll just have to agree to disagree as usual. I think the best way they could have done with a story revolving around finding Luke is to have both The Resistance and The First Order have a piece of the map but have a 3rd party have the last piece and the film would be a race to see who gets to this 3rd part first. Instead of clues to where Luke is we would be getting clues to where this 3rd party is while getting information about Luke in general.

KOTOR and TFA are very different stories. Just because the KOTOR plot twist can bend both ways so to speak doesn’t mean TFA’s ending can bend the same way. Nor should it because different elements in different stories can mesh in one way but not in other ways.

The nonsense with him and Leia and their “son” was just a waste of time.

I’m going to regret asking this but why did you put quotes around the word “son”?

He’s only their son because they said so. Otherwise, there is no history between them.

By that logic I could say “There’s no history between Obi-Wan and Vader because we didn’t see it before STAR WARS.” which makes absolutely no sense.

The writing was lazy and there is so much **** going on, so much meaningless **** crammed into the movie, that no relationships were formed.

The whole movie was filled with junk like that. Lazy writing. No real time or energy devoted to properly establish or progress relationships, except maybe for Rey/Han and Rey/Finn.

Come on man…

And hey, Finn and Poe are supposed to be friends.

Poe didn’t call Finn buddy until they saw each other at the Resistance HQ. Essentially the entire time they spent together in the first act didn’t mention them being friends at all. They just click. I look forward to seeing their bromance continue.

What, they didn’t really spend time together in the movie? Well that’s ok, we’ll just go back and edit in a shot of Poe from his X-wing, blasting a bad guy who was threatening Finn, and then have Finn look up at the sky and thank him, as if the two can see each other, so you’ll more readily make the connection and believe these two guys are pals.

Finn said “That’s one hell of a pilot”. How does that signify he knows that was Poe?

Hell, even Leia didn’t have time to mourn with Chewie

They fucked up with that.

One of the things Rogue One did right was adding weight to Death Star, making it even scarier. When many creators fall into the trap of “even bigger explosions!”, R1 just holds the audience a bit longer in a scene which was so (too?) short in ANH.

It would have been scarier if it weren’t even in the movie to begin with.

Considering the fact that I’ve never been properly scared of the Death Star until seeing Rogue One I’m going to have to disagree with you.

Well we pretty much disagree on everything Star Wars related, so I’m not surprised. You can write the script so that the characters express the danger of the Death Star through their acting and dialogue, and what is going on in the plot, rather than just cramming everything on screen.

Actually as I recall the film does both as Cassian and that dude he killed in cold blood were scared shitless of it. Also I’m failing to see the line between screen cluttering in this film and screen cluttering in STAR WARS. Does that really even matter though? Seems like a nitpick to me to me but eh.

Are you a fan of the SE wampa by any chance?

That’s quite a leap.
