It kinda sucks, doesn’t it?

I think I’ve heard that before, yeah.

At its best, a vague attempt to bring classic slave revolt and Roman Empire style tales to a new audience. With some ground breaking visual effects/special effects. But that’s only window dressing for a movie; since at its worst it’s just embarrassing, incompetent and lacking any kind of dramatic energy. The merit that it “feels like a movie” next to the other prequels damning with faint praise. But what else is new.

I agree. It humanizes the character way too much. He should be monstrous and untouchable, not canoodling behind the reactor with some floozy.

ALOL

Yeah. I still have the ROTS art book here somewhere; it’s all incredible to look at.

Well, those are the breaks.

Here’s one with the background cropped out

Putting PT script errors with timescales aside, there are only a few options they’re likely to go with. The true Old Republic era is too weird and detached from the mainstream audience view of Star Wars. Add to this any random scripts they have lying around, which of them is likely to be a safe bet? The origins of Yoda? More Palpatine?

But with one minor adjustment the ship could have crumbled earlier, and then Rose could actually flown in under it and saved Finn from crashing rather than the way it actually looks. But so many minor adjustments… so many ST problems.

Yeah. It’s interesting that this story concept also appears in other works of fiction when they need to string out the narrative to a few more releases.

Plot isn’t a story in the same way a skeleton isn’t a soul.

If you want to be really picky the plot isn’t even the whole script, it’s just the stage notes for each actor.

Finn wouldn’t have saved his friends by running into the cannon, wasn’t that the whole point?

I’m not sure. It wasn’t made clear in the movie, which was probably not a good idea.

The weapons clearly melted from the beam but it’s unclear of the crash damage would have worked.

But is the dagger made of magic Sith nano-metal that can shift with the tides or is it total nonsense

I don’t want to clog up this thread with off topic discussion but since this is where most of the lightspeed skipping thoughts are I wanted to follow up with just a few more of my own. I think the concept is self explanatory, it doesn’t actually need any extra setup, what I find missing is the payoff.

I don’t understand why they needed to jump more than once though, it just seemed like a random Guardians of the Galaxy scene they wanted to copy.

Except it’s not the same and that’s what my initial point was in replying to Yotsuya. Rey testing her saber was already discarded as a possible in story reason for igniting her saber since it’s clear it was completed well before this scene and would have been tested back when it was actually completed rather than carrying around an untested saber with no tools on hand to continue working on it if it doesn’t work the first time you go to use it.

Well I don’t think we know that. But now it doesn’t matter.

This sounds like a joke.

But thematically the end should have been Rey at some sort of symbolic of grave for her parents, illustrating that she has moved on. She might even have given the sabers to Maz to suggest that those guided by the Force could one day follow this path or something. Instead it’s just a nostalgia scene for us, not her and not for Luke. She probably buried the sabers on top of Owen and Beru’s bones, insulting their remains. If they haven’t been picked clean by Jawas years ago along with the rest of the farm.

These double posts suck almost as much as the markdown formatting.

I think the idea is Rey used the green and blue crystal parts to make a yellow one since you sort of see the ignition lights. It’s the same thing as Luke testing his. However it makes no sense that this is Tatooine, a place important to the audience and not to a single character involved.

Back to the topic: there’s so much aspects of the movie that I found disappointing, so I don’t know what the most is, but what I would have liked to see at the beginning of the movie is Rey building her own lightsaber (the one we see at the end of the movie), using parts (the Kyber crystal!) salvaged from Anakin’s lightsaber (which got torn apart in the previous movie). She has the ancient texts, she would have known how to build one, and it should have been part of her training. It would have been ultimately cool to see her fight with an orange blade. (Seeing her ignite her new lightsaber for no reason at the end of the movie is just fan service)

ROTJ deleted scene of Luke igniting his lightsaber for no reason before putting it in R2.

Umm, he’d just finished building it so isn’t it logically prudent to do at least a quick test before needing to rely on it for a potential battle?

Yeah that’s fine. Ruins the skiff reveal but logically it’s fine.

If only the Force Dyad was essential to the plot and Palpatine’s scheme. Then the long wait in the evil lair would have been leading up to Rey and Kylo showing up fully trained, to service him in whatever way. That’s the frustrating part of all the ST; a logical script doctor would solve much of this.

I think the main theme from Star Wars accompanies the words “Star Wars” on the screen.
