Ginette Reno posted:It's been a while since I've watched ep 4 but I'm pretty sure they toss in some lines about how the X-Wing is similar to the T whatever the gently caress thing that Luke flies around shooting rats in or whatever so he shouldn't have any trouble handling it. you're remembering a retroactive eu fix to the issue of Luke going from atmospheric cessnsa to space F-22 in hours. even allowing for that and the fact that he's a natural pilot, it strains credulity that they'd put him in one of their most advanced fighters over a pilot who has basic tactical training and has actually worked with the other members of the squadron before. i mean we accept it because it works for movie reasons and we can imagine some sort of justification, but if we're applying the same level of nitpicking about ~realism~ to both films...

And then biggs walks over with his porn stache and talks about how great Luke is. But like I said it's been a while, maybe I'm wrong.

Oh yeah, the added special edition scene where they had to do the weird un-natural natural wipe with the guy walking across the screen to cover the cut line from Red Leader about how great a pilot Luke's dad was. LEADER: You sure you can handle this ship? BIGGS: Sir, Luke is the best bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories. LEADER: You'll do alright. (weirdly abrupt, because some lines about "Yeah I knew your dad was a great pilot" were cut)

Yeah I thought all the battlenstuff was fine. Everyone sucks dick with a light saber, Pizza Face had just taken a bow caster bolt so he wasn't on top of his game, etc. I thought the movie was generally enjoyable, certain parts just seemed stupid as gently caress. If JJ Abrams wanted to make a droid more annoying than C3PO, he succeeded, I loving hate that purposely over the top cutesy little robot. More annoying than the airhead battle droids in the prequals. The fact that they really made one for filming is admittedly awesome though. Super duper deathstar is also dumb and lazy. Destroying some planet that gets brought up only to be destroyed is also dumb and lazy. The scene at the end where R2D2 come back to life for whatever reason and projects that map and then BB8 rolls up and projects the rest was a stupid scene, followed by the even worse spinning shot at the end with Luke. Maybe it's just me, but all the scenes I really remember are storm troopers and scenes with Poe. Intro scene was legit, TRAITOR! Stormtrooper is my spirit animal and that other one where they turn around during Pizza Faces's tantrum. I guess what I'm saying is give me a storm trooper movie with bad rear end storm troopers beating on traitors and just trying to live their lives without getting murked by their moody dark jedi masters.

Not as an info-dump, but even a few offhanded lines could have really helped build the world out a little more. *puts on medical tape repaired glasses* Actually, the Empire and Republic are at peace, the New order is just a political party within the Empire making a grab at power because the Empire has been weakened by military treaties limiting the sizes of fleets and ships, same as the Republic. The First Order is like a Neo-Nazi group taking over Germany again from bases in Argentina, the Resistance is like a CIA splinter cell that's gone off the books

starry skies above posted:Meanwhile: I don't understand why people think hollywood is now creatively bankrupt compared the like 60 years ago before star wars. they made shovelware and "guaranteed hit" movies. quality control to describe star wars and marvel movies now is pretty accurate. you're getting a well-made product and not a complete free-form mess like the star wars prequels. is one better than the other? I don't have a desire to really see tfa or the prequels again. if I'm at a friends house and he puts on tfa I'm not gonna moan and complain because I know I can sit through it. idk gently caress movies i guess?

i saw it again with my 8 year old nephew he liked it a lot  the title crawl actually explains the whole political breakdown (first order rose from the ashes of the empire, the ruling republic is secretly supporting the resistance... that's it) for people who care. im glad they didnt waste any more screen time on it than they did because the movie does feel really rushed at times like they had to cut a lot to fit it in. there's quite a few scenes that i wish they couldve let breathe more because the movie is really visually amazing but they dont linger on anything. It's kind of hard to follow the X-wing vs. Star killer battle at the end because it is so frenetic and the editing is kind of crazy. those are nitpicks though i still thought it was a good movie. can't wait to see hateful 8 when it opens near me
