Wouldn’t even have to be that to tell it was Duracell.

I don’t see how it’s a cheap shot when he constantly brags about it.

Do you work? Maybe try too socialize more with your coworkers.

Not from me.

If he didn’t “try so hard” (whatever that even means) then he’d probably be even more socially isolated. I get annoyed by this ridiculous, bullshit idea that if you just bumble around and live your shitty little life then great friends and lovers will just fall from the sky into your life. That’s a fucking fantasy.

Ok cool thanks, maybe I’ll follow your advice then and one day my social life will be half as good as yours.

This one’s over.

Take it to the religion thread.

Maybe it’s just my interpretation but I don’t see her as THAT powerful. Luke had some training sure, but he was largely self taught and look at how powerful he was in ROTJ, largely on his own merit. Yes he had more time to get there than Rey had, but he’s also far more powerful than Rey has become so the time is spent. Perhaps if you want to analyze it so hard as to calculate how proportionally they each learned per week or something it could seem off, but come on its a movie. They both had the power to become great. One already achieved it, one is still on the journey. Who cares if at point x Rey is a certain level while like was at a different level at the same point, it’s a movie. It’s not like Rey IS as powerful as Luke or any Jedi, she’s just shown to have the potential to be, and probably will be after some time. I don’t see how that’s so far off from Luke who still picked it marginally faster than any jedi was shown to in the prequels. Perhaps teachers and resources for learning just got better over time.

Although it is

Yeah but I mean Luke starting picking things up pretty darn quick once he started learning too, much of it on his own. Perhaps not quite as quick as Rey, although I’m not prepared for the massive headache that comes from analyzing the passage of time in star wars movies. But I don’t think it’s totally incomparable.

That and the idea that she even is as powerful as Luke or the other Jedi is silly. Basically she just doesn’t suck and is far better than your average Joe. Put her against a young obi wan or a luke whose actually trying to battle for his life and it would be no contest.

Rey is at least as powerful as the Jedi that have come before her? I must have missed those scenes of her taking on whole regimes of droids ask firing at her which she deflects with ease all while doing aerial acrobatics that would make Super Mario blush. Are those only in the bonus features or something? I didn’t watch all of those.

but only because

And where did he pick up all those moves he used in Return of the Jedi that he didn’t learn from Yoda in esb? I believe he… Dare I even say it… Figured them out himself?

such as? i can only think of the mind trick that was in the movie to basically tell the audience that Luke had grown from novice in SW to master in RotJ. other than that…

Maybe “new skills” isn’t correct, but enhanced surely is. He made a few impressive jumps in esb sure, but those were some pretty fancy acrobatics he pulled off on the sail barge that in the movies were unprecedented. Not to mention how much better he is with a Lightsaber. And he deflects laser bolts on endor with ease, something I don’t think yoda could hasn’t taught him. And he senses vaders presence/mindset. So new skills include force choke and mind control, but all old skills are also super enhanced and polished all the sudden with no extra training besides practicing ON HIS OWN.

and cheap thrills.

I’d say we could change the thread title, but it’s only been a few posts and that’s a little rash.

I’ll see myself out.
