Movie was great. Can't wait for the next one. It feels good to like Star Wars again.

My favorite thing about the movie by far was that I could actually follow what was happening on screen, unlike the prequels where the action scenes were filled with distracting nonsense and the light saber fights were flippy bullshit.

Actually, my favorite thing was the fact that there were only two light sabers in the whole movie - the good guy's and the bad guy's. It's consistent with the idea that jedi are extremely rare and mystical, not like the prequels where they were loving everywhere. Basically what I'm saying is that this movie did nearly everything right that the prequels did wrong.

I think the only thing I really didn't like, other than the big bad guy having a really dumb name*, was Rey started using the Force way too quickly. The mind trick scene was good, but I think beyond that was a little too much too soon. It didn't feel earned. *Still not as bad as "Dooku".

Ace of Baes posted:used the force THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS Also I forgot about everybody being able to see the super lasers flying across the sky from light years away, that was kind of dumb and I think it's an Abrams thing because he did it in Star Trek as well. e: I'm also willing to forgive it in this movie because Star Wars isn't about the science. It's a fantasy movie in space. Fister Roboto fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Dec 20, 2015 |

Bolow posted:I liked when the Stormtroopers round the corner while Kylo is freaking the gently caress out in the interrogation room and just look at each other and walk away not wanting to deal with that poo poo. I liked the jedi mind trick scene, because the storm trooper's delivery sounded less like the trick worked and more like he was just done with this poo poo.

Another little thing I liked: the bad guy's name is Kylo Ren, not Darth Ren or Darth Kylo. As dumb as the name is, the big bad guy's name is just Snoke, not Darth Snoke. One little thing I hated about the prequels and the EU was that Darth became a title rather than just part of Darth Vader's name. The fact that the bad guy, despite being a massive Vader fanboy, doesn't call himself Darth, tells me that that's not a thing for this.

That's basically what I pieced together in my head. It makes sense. Civil wars don't usually have nice, clean endings.

USMC503 posted:A friend of mine pointed out Rey is unlikely to be Luke's kid for a few reason. One being sex for fun is forbidden by the Jedi code, as is falling in love. If Luke fell in love, Obiwan and Yoda failed him loving HARDCORE considering how poo poo went down with Anakin/Darth Vader. On the other hand, the "no sex no love no family" thing is entirely an invention of the prequels, and is also dumb.
