Some stuff from the other thread:Booblord Zagats posted:Wrong Death Star. It's about the stealing of the original Death Star (from Ep 4) plans and may or may not actually tie in to the Rebels TV show, not the stealing of the plans from Endor (Return of the Jedi) What makes you think I was thinking of the other one? I even used a partial quote from Ep 4. Dead Reckoning posted:Man, can you imagine how awful the crumbling remains of the Imperial VA must be? "I lost my leg when a bunch of teddy bears crushed me under a deadfall, and now you're telling me I have to wait until next year to see a specialist so he can determine whether or not I need a robot limb? I had to wait six months just to soak in that giant tank of goo." What I want to see is a movie about the dismantling of the Imperial Army and how its remains form a variety of anti-Republic rebellions spread across the galaxy that fight each other and the new government.

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.

Dude McAwesome posted: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! It seems like the new Republic is still building up. 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.

USMC503 posted:Yeah I had Solo spoiled for me. Vader went spinning off into space at the end of 4, and Empire had kind of an ominous ending like this one. I think the difference between Luke and Rey is that Luke was trying to figure everything out as he went and gain some measure of control. Rey seems to be just rolling with the poo poo as it comes, which to me seems like the way it's "supposed" to work. Do or do not there is no try, feel it flow through you, etc. Godholio fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Fister Roboto posted:So does this make Simon Pegg the first person to be in both Star Trek and Star Wars? I thought so, but google says no. If you include the cartoons like Rebels and Clone Wars, there are several Star Trek alums (George Takei, Brent Spiner, Ron Perlman, etc) that did voice work. There are also a couple of Star Trek aliens who were in the Star Wars movies as background characters or aliens, like Felix Silla who was an Ewok and a Talosian in The Cage.

Oh, everybody did that. Last week I got a random text (I think from an old AF friend) that had a link to that whole loving scene starting when he approaches the catwalk. Fortunately it wasn't really a huge surprise that they'd kill him off. On the list of spoilers it's no "snape kills dumbledore."

Booblord Zagats posted:the Mormons of the Dark Side or whatever A bunch of idiots signing up so they can have multiple wives. Emo Rylo Ken makes a lot of sense in this scenario, he can't get any. Edit: Definitely a thumbs up. There are so many callbacks in this movie that if he were flipping Finn off there'd be two versions of the movie and in one of them BB-8 would've done it first just to revive the argument.

Mr. Nice! posted:So I was thinking and it seems pretty obvious to me that Rey is either Luke's kid or was left on that planet by him. The map to find him was partially in R2D2 and the other part just happens to be left on a junkworld where a force sensitive orphan was abandoned years before. It would be silly for her to have anything to do with obiwan on this point. It's also 30 years later, so Kenobi was dead for like a decade when she was born. Fart Sandwiches posted:What is it about people in this series to just abandon their kids all over the place? You'd think Star Wars was set in Baltimore or St Louis.

With that blinged out armor you know that's exactly what she'd say. I assumed she told him to present it because she suspected/knew he hadn't fired it, though.

There's probably a deleted scene or two that deals more with the planets that got wiped out and the implications that were glossed over in the release.

I also think it's her more emotional nature compared to Luke trying to think about everything. He fights letting it "flow" through him, while she seems to do it pretty naturally. Edit: But after reading that post, the scene where she sits in the rebel helmet suddenly becomes loving brilliant instead of mildly entertaining.

JSARSOM posted:Advise the little poo poo not to drink much before hand, or you'll have to get up and take him to restroom. Yeeeeup. If you can get away with maintaining control of his drink, that'll help a lot. But if his parents don't do it (ie he's used to having it himself), it probably won't go over well.

Dead Reckoning posted:Thinking back on it, they really got Luke's expression in that last scene right. He knew he couldn't avoid this, that someone would seek him out one day, hell, he left that map for a reason, but after his failure as a teacher, uncomfortably close to the way Obi Wan failed his father, he dreads having to take up the mantle again. That was actually one of my favorite parts of the movie, just the expression on his face. Edit: A few days ago I heard that in that scene, he's standing at a gravesite. I didn't notice if that's true, so if anyone goes to see it again, look for a headstone or something.

Spacman posted:I still feel sorry for him. The poor bstard has saved the galaxy twice, destroyed a gigantic death station twice, turned his father from the dark side, been turned by the emperor and redeemed. I feel more sorry for Han. Brian Quinn described it pretty well after he took his mom: Pretend that at 70 years old you're still not retired, and you're still not good at your job (he owes everyone money, he's being accused by multiple parties of cheating, everybody's walking all over his loving ship to kill him), you're estranged from your spouse for years, and your kid is the new Hitler. What kind of life is that? Then your kid stabs you to death, you fall in a pit, then they blow up the pit. Kind of got a point. Han Solo is basically a veteran.

Kandak Sayaqa posted:Okay, I'm going to nerd the gently caress out here. Way back when I was a kid, I read up on all the dorky expanded universe stuff, technical manuals, etc. And they all said that Y-Wing fighters were slow, outdated, and basically useless . They also always used the first Death Star fight as reference, because only one Y-Wing survived. Pseudo realtalk, it would depend on how they were employed. There's overlap in capabilities between F-16s and F-22s, but if you've got both you want to use them where their strengths were strongest. The rebels didn't have enough of anything to really dictate any terms, they were fighting however they could.

Zeris posted:Lucas did A Good Job in ANH's trench battle representing equally the arrogance of the Imperial commanders and the scrappiness of the rebels. Military realism had to eat the difference, but in a sci fi flick that's completely acceptable. It's pretty well established that the trench scene was based on The Dam Busters, since it's basically a shot-for-shot remake.
