Pesticide20 posted:Does anybody know if any of the new books are with reading? Growing up I loved the Zahn books and can ashamedly say that I read way too much of the expanded universe. Just curious if there's anything good that's come out recently Really really bad. Tried to make star wars realistic and gritty while pushing some really idiotic background characters

From the other thread:FOURTH WAVE LESBRO posted:I honestly don't know what in the gently caress some of you people are smoking after reading this poo poo. The movie was pretty much exactly what it not only should have been, but the only real thing it could have been. After so much time between movies, and especially keeping in mind 1-3, the best possible thing to do was create a blend of the familiar with the stark echoes of Episode 4 and contrast that with something new. You reestablish the series for old fans, introduce it to new fans, and lay the foundation for continuing on in new directions while still remaining faithful to the soul of what Star Wars is.

Nostalgia4Dicks posted:Also Kylo's lightsaber makes perfect sense now as a whiny kid that just wants to be different without being practical He was on STern recently, decent interview but the guy came off like he really didn't like anything about the movie or franchise, but was super in to talking about weird sex scenes with lena Dunham. He accidentally got a condom stuck in her rear end once

Analogical posted:Another cameo: Simon Pegg was the alien trader Rey sold poo poo to. Even knowing this ahead of time, I couldn't tell. Didn't recognize Craig either, but I didn't know about him. Whoever said it earlier was right: that movie hit all the right marks. And it didn't have a bunch of awkward shakey-cam and lens flares, either.

Movie was loving great. It was fun and I was smiling all the way through. Though I did click on an unmarked link in another thread that ruined Kylo is Han's son and then he kills him. So that was pretty poo poo! So what's the deal with the Rebellion? They mentioned the current government running the show is the Republic, so is Leia basically the leader of a state sanctioned militia?

It doesn't span all the territory of the previous Republic or the Empire. The First Order seems to have it's own territory, carved from the Empire. I took it that the Resistance was basically the new rebellion in the Order's territory, with support from the Republic.

^^^ this, also That part seems to have been glossed over in the new movie. Connecting some dots between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens: Post-Return of the Jedi: The Rebellion, after killing the Emperor and blowing up Death Star 2.0, set up a new government, the New Republic. Blowing up Death Star 2.0 obviously didn't wipe out the entirely of the old Empire, so the dudes left reorganized and wound up becoming the First Order, the fancy new enemy for the New Republic. The New Republic needs somebody to fight these space baddies, so Leia gets put in charge of the effort to combat the First Order, called the Resistance. Why they're called the "Resistance" when they could have just been like, I don't know, the Republic Fleet or something sensible, I don't know. During The Force Awakens: The capital of the New Republic, the planet Hosnian Prime in this new movie, gets smoked by Death Star 3.0. Thus, the New Republic was essentially created and destroyed without any real screen time.

Echoing earlier sentiments. Hit all the right notes, some dumb plot stuff. Get a nice big bag of popcorn and enjoy. I loving hate how much I'm going to be looking forward to Ep 8 now. I love how they are handling Rey's development.

Just rewatched the movie with a friend. I take back all earlier complaints about Finn, dude is fun, his character is fun and his getting bb8 to be his wing man were great. Shame Han died, he has great chemistry with the younger cast

I kind of agree with N4D before saying there are some bits felt a bit rushed, but I liked it enough that I can't decide whether or not to wait until it comes out on Blu-Ray or go see it again in the theater to catch everything.

I saw it in 3D which was a terrible idea, never again. It's all they had left but now I won't even bother if that's the only option. Definitely gonna see it again when it's not midnight, busy, etc. I'll take solace knowing 7 is gonna be good and 8 is gonna probably be the best of all Star Wars movies when Rey's running around super Jedi wrecking poo poo

The setup for Poe, BB and Finn being rebel bros is pretty great, too. As was the camera work of Rey coming to and meeting Luke. Really it's probably JJ's best work as a director because the only shot i disliked enough to say "What's going on" was when Kylo's ship was landing at the pirate bar after the strafing runs by the fighters, something about it seemed way off perspective wise Edit: Also I lol'd as Jon Faverau was shown to be Porkins 2.0 Booblord Zagats fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Dec 20, 2015 |

Pretty much. Star Wars is a cash cow, even when you try to gently caress it up like Lucas.
