There are no TFA “same type of arguments” when it comes to OT.

…Jedi? Or are you just gonna turn a blind eye to the OT so you can hold them as perfect while shit-talking everything else?

No point…He thinks ROTJ is just as good as ESB because OT. And yes, “because OT” is more or less his rationale for putting ROTJ on the same level as a genuine masterpiece.

The Force Awakens just has fun lines of dialogue that throw back to things like the Kessel run.

The bad guy being a Skywalker who turned to the dark side aka Anakin 2.0 ?
The Death Star 3.0 ?
The Emperor 2.0 ?
The Empire 2.0 ?
The Rebellion 2.0 ?
R2.0-D2.0 ?
etc.

At the risk of becoming a TFApologist…

That’s actually a term? If anyone should be apologizing it should be Max Landis or something.

Also I guess I’m an OT apoligist because I refute the same type of arguments when discussing those films as well.

I’ve seen people call Luke a Mary Sue…I have seen people say that Vader was a shitty villain in STAR WARS among other ridiculous claims. And beyond the claims themselves the hyperbolic nature of the arguments mixed in with sprinkling of half truths and lies are similarities shared by both groups.

I prefer Rey Kenobi

Why?

Mostly the continuance of the family motif but in this case the main protagonist wouldn’t be a Skywalker.

To continue the rehash tradition and expand it on trilogy level? If EP8 reveals that Rey is related to someone we already know, this will be downright ridiculous.

Yep…rehashing elements from the OT which was primarily built on rehashing rehashed stories that have been told in different ways throughout mankind.

Also they could have Rey learn who her parents are in IX and in a completely different way from how Luke learned in V.

I disagree as Kylo taking off his mask is out of character as he didn’t do it for Lor San Tekka or Poe. The only two people he did this for were his father and this scavenger. Why would he do such a thing for a seemingly insignificant figure?

I said nothing close to it being out of character. It’s very much in character. I just don’t think there is much character. As someone else said, he’s just a bratty kid who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

I don’t think the bratty thing applies in this instance. Him taking off his mask shows a level of intimacy he didn’t show Lor San Tekka (someone who he has known for a long time) and Poe. It’s understandable when he took his mask off for his Father but for him to do it to Rey is puzzling.

At what point is Rey an insignificant character? He’s aware she feels The Force, strongly perhaps. She’s not insignificant in the Force sensitive world, so taking off the mask is again in character. He knows there isn’t any reason to cosplay around her, so he speaks to her directly. It’s his strongest scene in the film, thanks primarily to Driver being so strong an actor.

I got that impression from this:

“It’s carrying a section of a navigational chart. And we have the rest. Recovered from the archives of the Empire, but we need the last piece. And, somehow, you convinced the droid to show it to you. You…A scavenger.” - Kylo Ren

We know she’s important because we’re the audience but we don’t definitively know if they’ve met prior to the events of TFA we don’t know how Kylo felt really when he took his mask off. The only time he even seems to know she’s Force Sensitive is after she invades his mind.

As for it being premature to judge him, Disney has only given me the one film. My opinion at this point stands. The character spends time sitting in a room talking to a mask worn by his grandfather, then puts on a similar mask, and proceeds to go around emulating his grandfather’s behavior. In my view that’s baggage.

Vague impressions are fine but I prefer forming opinions when I have the full picture. I rarely base things soles on premise or only having seen one piece of a larger story/puzzle.

Star Wars moving forward without Ms. Fisher

no i stand by my idea because she looks exactly like her with make up now a days they could make it work i rather episode ix finish her story the way it was intended then have episode ix feel ruined. i want leia to confront her son having her die would just suck. sorry but it would it’s bad enough han’s dead but killing her character off would be as soul crushing as carrie fisher passing away.

Who says her confronting Kylo couldn’t happen in VIII?
