Can't wait for Baby Chewie to be introduced. Maybe we'll also get Baby Boba Fett!

SuperMechagodzilla posted:For a quick recap: Rey is hyped up on pure rage because two of Unkar’s guys tried to steal BB-8 away from his rightful owner (Rey’s incredibly invested in this loss of ownership because she sees it as analogous to her parental situation). Oooh, now I vaguely remember. Yeah, that doesn't scan too well these days where black people are getting the police called on them for hanging out in their front porch.

The best part of the sequels is the part where they leave sentient beings behind as slaves because I knew it meant I could enjoy every single resistance members death from then on.

It's fun to talk about how and why they're bad, though. Much like with the prequels, though I do wonder how much boils down to the sequels not wanting to be anything like the prequels so badly they ran headlong into loving everything ELSE up.

I thought TFA was fine. However they clearly had no idea where they wanted to go after that and with TLJ being so decisive and them walking it back far too hard with RoS had effect that brought the whole trilogy down.

Fair enough, though I feel it makes good media seem all the better when you compare and contrast against other things and analyse how, where, and probably why they hosed up.

Imo both of the first two could be parts of at least decent trilogies. Not great but fun watches. The dissonance between them and then the poo poo-covered cherry that is RoS is what makes the whole trilogy terrible

Eh, people can think that a movie is bad for very different reasons. Remember how chuds were up in arms about the little white cuckball? Seeking solidarity with people just because you dislike the same movies runs the danger of chumming up with idiotic assholes, so a little more thought than "It's bad, agreed?" would be great.

Except my dislike was formed in the theater, so it is unsullied by chuds freaking out about girls. Edit: At least the prequels have stans who have decades worth of memes to build their headcannon with. The Sequels are just borringly bad.

is Star Wars Galaxies a sequel? Cuz there's some really interesting stuff going on there and the dev post mortem is really fascinating. What winds up being kind of interesting is that the inability to balance "Star Wars as a universe full of people" and "Star Wars as the Skywalker's story" ultimately turned into a poisoned pill that broke a lot of legitimately cool designs and ideas. https://www.raphkoster.com/2015/04/15/star-wars-galaxies-tefs/

I dunno if it's a sequel, I don't recall what time frame it was in. But what I do know is it's not a movie.

I was cautiously optimistic with TFA when I saw the trailers because it looked exciting and full of action. There were some things that worried me, like the "it's not a Death Star, it's a Star Killer" superweapon, the mysterious return of Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, and the title. Like, why would the Force need to Awaken? When I saw it in the theater, I nearly walked out because I hated it. I thought Kylo Ren throwing tantrums was corny as hell, the movie side-stepping why they had dug up Anakin's lightsaber pissed me off because it made it feel like they just wanted to return an iconic prop, and Han jumping to hyperspace to skip through a shield on the fly showed they gave zero fucks about the rules of the world. I didn't like how it seemed Rey could not be hurt or knocked down, and that Finn had to feel the consequences of her actions (she releases the monster and Finn nearly gets eaten, when they face Kylo Ren it is Finn who gets cut down to show how tough Kylo is despite taking a boltcaster blast to the side). I hated how Poe returns out of loving nowhere after seemingly dying on Jakku. Maz refusing to explain HOW she got Anakin's lightsaber (or how it got retrieved in the first place) was infuriating. I also hated how there was zero explanation in the movie as to what happened to the New Republic and the OT heroes---you had to buy the comics and books to get them. It reminded me of the dumb tactic that Bioware used for Dragon Age/Mass Effect to tell the story through different media---I mean, milk more money out of the customer. I had zero problems with Rey being the new hero. I love Ahsoka in the Clone Wars/Rebels. I just wanted to see a hero's journey where the protagonist struggles and grows throughout the story. It helps to build that ensemble of heroes that Star Wars is known for. People love to say that Luke is a Gary Stu or overpowered, but he gets his rear end kicked all over the place throughout the OT (starting with Uncle Owen giving him chores, and ending with Sneaky Sheev giving him the spicy jazz hands). It gives the other characters chances to shine by saving him (Leia blasting the garbage chute screen, Han winging Darth Vader, Obi-Wan cutting down the bar thugs, R2 cutting them out of the Ewok trap, Anakin giving Sheev the ol' heave ho down the endless pit, etc.). Even in the PT, Anakin gets his rear end kicked all over the place despite being the Chosen One (he gets caught by the Geonosians, Dooku takes his arm, Palpatine messes with his mind, and Obi-Wan cuts him down). If Rey is in trouble, Rey gets out of it on her own. It leaves the rest of the ensemble with nothing to do.

The lightsaber being unexplained is a result of changes in editing, but the explanation is even stupider. The original opening of the film had Luke's hand, still clutching the lightsaber, floating through space and entering a planet's atmosphere (how it got into space is never explained). The hand burned up on entry and some alien found the lightsaber after it landed, nearly burning down a large field when he turned it on. I think there would also have been a montage showing the saber being sold to a junk trader who then had it taken from him by Kylo and the Knights, who then had it stolen from them by Maz. The hyperspace jump is actually stolen from Lucas' rough draft of Return of the Jedi, where it was originally the way Han got the crew to Endor without the Empire noticing. So it's not Abrams and Kasdan having a dumb idea and putting it in the movie, but just another example of them just taking all the pig lips and assholes that weren't fit to include in the OT, and putting them in their hot dog of a movie.

So how does that explain the saber showing the attack on Luke? Also, lmao that they took something even Lucas and his editors thought was dumb as hell.

In my opinion, the one and only good thing about the sequels remains Kylo Ren. He is a dumb idiot, but that's at least something. Him throwing tantrums was something different from everyone else going through the motions in TFA. He seemed unpredictable in a way that was interesting, as opposed to the other off the rack characters. His trajectory to super space Hitler in RoS was kinda lame, then the face turn in Return of Palpatine was the stupidest poo poo. But at least the character went through some poo poo. I have no idea how to describe Finn's development. A Stormtrooper who became a became a not-Stormtrooper, fell into a 12-hour coma and then was a rebel. The end. Or Poe Poe: Rebel master pilot. The end. Really riveting stuff.

Kylo the school shooter was an infinitely better idea than having him be some “badass” revan/vader knockoff.
