Longshot007 posted:Theres also the bit at the end of the movie where Rey and Chewbacca fly to the planet Luke is on in like 30 seconds. The Enterprise did the same poo poo in into darkness. I know they're going FTL but still, it makes the universe seem small. I tend not to mind "speed of plot" stuff as long as it's consistently applied, and I didn't particularly didn't feel like there was anything to indicate whether the journey in the coda took hours or weeks or days, so really it was just basic movie editing IMO. Again it's more annoying in the nominally "harder SF" setting of Trek. The other bad thing about JJTrek is that he desperately wanted to tell a story that had Kirk and company as young, uncertain, newly minted officers.. but he still wanted to have the TOS status quo of everyone being a senior bridge officer under Captain Kirk. So you have insultingly stupid poo poo like Pike basically tossing him the keys to the Enterprise and promoting him from Ensign to Captain basically hours out of the academy because he's a cool bro.

a bone to pick posted:The whole last 5 - 10 minutes felt kind of tacked on, I thought it would end after Leia and everyone were waving goodbye to Rey and Chewy as they fly away. It was one of the only parts that felt weird about the movie. Yeah, I get the impression that they cut out everything with Luke, but had paid Mark hamill upwards of a billion dollars already, so they just threw him in at the end. I know that they cut a bunch of stuff that was meant to be in this film that will have to be in the next one.

thathonkey posted:Yeah it's like the entire movie takes place in the same tiny tiny part of the galaxy because on the temperate planet with the cantina they can apparently see the starkiller doing its thing to those other planets then the rebels arrive there in like 2 minutes after the first order then leia comes. Somebody should walk jj abrams outside and ask can you see saturn from here? loving dumbass they shouldve hired neil degrasse tyson and chris nolan to make the screenplay and direct I just assumed the cantina planet was supposed to be in the same solar system as

So, looking at Wookapedia, apparently it might not have been Coruscant? It sure looked like it was.

On the balance I really liked the film, but I do feel like the prequels left them so gunshy about ponderous exposition explaining stupid made-up space politics that they ran a bit too far in the direction.

Yes let's just move the bureaucracy for governing the entire galaxy from the place whose entire infrastructure has been dedicated to government for literal millennia to some other horseshit place. I'm glad it got blown up. While we're talking about Coruscant, at the end of Special edition RotJ, we see parties breaking out all across the galaxy, including Coruscant. If the literal trillions of citizens of the galactic capital hated Palpatine enough to topple his statue and throw a holiday the moment they found out he was dead, how was the government not overthrown years ago?

The movie was pretty good but I can't get over how dumb it is that circumstances are exactly the same 30 years later, the original trilogy might as well have not even happened plotwise. Episodes 7-9 just seem dumb, the story was finished. They should have remade the prequels instead

They beat the final boss, that's why the galaxy was instantly free the very second Death Star 2 blew up.

Magnitogorsk. posted:They should have remade the prequels instead Seconded. Disney please pick me to write the script. TIA. My changes: The prequels would take place over a similar length of time as OT, not thirty years or w/e. None of this wunderkind Anakin BS. We start the series after Anakin is already a Jedi. Palpatine is a demagogue at the head of a similar nationalist/populist movement like the early Nazi party. Anakin, still young and idealistic, is swept up in the fervor and promise of a strong republic that hearkens back to traditional values. The sinister side of the new movement would be hinted at in the first movie, but Anakin only sees the community outreach aspect of it. Obi Wan is wary of the growing movement and this puts him at odds with the enthusiastic Anakin. The ideological difference starts as a mild disagreement that grows into a serious rift between the two. Anakin idealizes Palpatine and attends rallies in his Jedi robes, which catch Palpatine's eye. He makes sure that Anakin is in every photo op and exploits the young Jedi to garner popular support under the guise of "mentoring" him. When Palpatine executes his putsch, Anakin takes Palpatine's side and, though reluctant to fight his former colleagues at first, is eventually overcome with rage and begins slaughtering them en-masse. His final battle with Obi Wan goes off more or less like it does in Ep. III but with less CGI crap flying around. Other changes: Midichlorians are out. They never existed. The Clone Wars are between two armies of clones like the name implies. At the start of the prequel trilogy, it would be coming to an end, leaving the Republic in a state of postwar funk, allowing Palpatine a foothold into the hearts and minds of the disgruntled populace.

Anakin should also go through gradual robotification in the last couple movies. I want to see him hunt a couple Jedi wearing the original Luke Starkiller getup.

we already had a kickass star wars prequel, it was zhang yimou's hero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkBzIayMB40 - colourful epic past with badass warriors doing epic wuxia poo poo - emperor who wants to bring peace by massacring everyone who steps out of line - hero starts out opposing the emperor, sees the division and pettiness among his fellow badass warriors, emperor talks him around into supporting him just robotify jet li instead of bringing him down in a hail of arrows and it's perfect it had everything i wanted out of a star wars prequel anyway

In A New Hope, when the rebel pilots are getting briefed on the Death Star attack, the blueprints for the Death Star shown on the screen clearly and unambiguously depict the death star's superlaser as mounted on the equator, but when we see the real Death Star, the superlaser is located in the northern hemisphere. Given the glaring discrepancy in something as large as the superlaser, how could the rebels trust that the miniscule thermal exhaust port would be in the same place?

Sorry you are incapable of feeling joy. i thought it was a very sad movie actually. this brilliantly-coloured world full of superhumans was passing away and being replaced by grim grey flagstones and faceless armies, even if they were bringing peace and order. i wanted something like that from the prequels but instead i got, well, the prequels
