Taintrunner posted:The best part is one of the guards having a clear kill-shot at Rey's back due to some coreography screw-up (happens all the time, whatever) and intentionally whiffing, then nobody calling CUT! and setting up another take. For like, a billion dollar international company with seemingly unlimited resources. The hilarious thing is that Rey still reacts like she got stabbed

The biggest problem with tfa is that all it did was start building potentially-interesting things for the sequels without having the guts to actually do any of the interesting things itself. ESB introduced Yoda and then fully built the character within the next 30 minutes. TFA introduced Maz, gave her two short scenes, and then threw her into the pile of things for the next film to flesh out and resolve.

Maz is a lousy character because there's really nothing to resolve there. She exists to deliver exposition and a lightsaber. Yes, she puts off the question of where she got it with "A story for another time" but Rey might as well have found it on the ground.

If the next movie doesn't reveal Maz to be dead and her bar seized by the union then I won't see it.

Most pressing plot points remaining to resolve: 1. Outcome of maz kanata's labor struggle against the construction workers rebuilding her stupid bar 2. Efforts to create a bilateral arms control agreement to limit the overweening influence of nefarious galactic weapons dealers

Kanata's Cantina is the seat of power for the most intimidating being in the galaxy. It's iconic and will be in every Star Wars movie henceforth.

Yeah I saw an interview with Lupita Nyong’o and she said straight up she asked for the role because her role in 12 Years A Slave very challenging and she just wanted something extremely non-physical and simple.

Christ, there are so many talented writers. It would be totally feasible to make new compelling characters and tell great stories in the world of Star Wars, but Disney is content to just poo poo out things they know will get them a billion dollars. I'm done - I loving love Star Wars, but I'm not buying movie tickets for this schlock. I am upset on the internet about a movie that hasn't happened yet.

I know I like to get drunk and fly airplanes (and corny as it sounds, Han Solo had something to do with me becoming a pilot). I just can't afford to do both simultaneously. And this is far from the worst thing Ford has done for a paycheck. But they're just tossing every nostalgia turd they can fit into the punchbowl, because apparently nobody knows how to make new punch. Death Star! Palpatine! Solo! Skywalker! All together in one FINAL ROYAL RUMBLE! (and also Rose!)

The worst is letting something play out and not paying attention when Youtube autoplays the next video, which is almost always some jag off mouth breather who's going to blow your loving mind with his "analysis" and THIS will change everything you thought you knew about film, and I want to reach through the screen and smack them in the loving face.

At least in regards to the Star Wars ones, these are literally just the films themselves with archival and interview footage overlaid at the appropriate points. Kinda like an expanded cast & crew commentary track.

You should probably go see a psychiatrist in case it's undiagnosed aspergers. The rest of us have not received any indication that Rey is a teenager. But even if she was and is over 18 it's completely legal. Also as someone with parents who are 9 years apart who have been happily married for 35 years, 11 years doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Feel free to continue making GBS threads up the thread about being triggered by a big nothingburger though.
