s.i.r.e. posted:The Emperor stuff in ROTJ is REALLY good, but the Endor stuff brings the whole film down and stops it from being perfect. I also feel like the movie suffers from making sure every character has something to do at all times.

nurabsal posted:"After reading the spoilers and watch some reviews, I suspect this time the audience score will be greater than the pro reviewer scores. And that's a good thing. I think it lacks anything SJWs can latch onto, so the pros don't care. So the success of this one will be decided 100% by the fans. Sink or swim. I just don't see it pulling off the fan service of RO, but I bet most fans will be able to enjoy it." -Some Guy (TheForce.Net) So this is definitely a piece of trash movie then?

Taintrunner posted:You're saying nothing except contradicting the entire philosophy and origin of what a stormtrooper is. A faceless, disposable grunt. None of them are special, none of them have a unique identity. Even the "elite" Crimson or Shadow stormtroopers are just faceless tools that can be disposed of and forgotten at any time in the face of any threat. It's what is core to the greater philosophy of the Empire, much like the Death Star was a massive superstructure that was only defeated by their own hubris. JJ Abrams himself said that Phasma was his favorite character and they had her on the covers of several magazines promoting her as some cool.new character.

pospysyl posted:Is it weird how the two spin-off movies go to great lengths to depict the war between the Rebellion and the Empire as all-encompassing, impacting every planet in the galaxy, when the main sequel trilogy doesn't depict their war that way at all? It's brilliantly subverting established facts about the setting

The prequels were bad, sure, but they still felt like someone's creative vision.

The most frustrating thing about the ST is that I still have no idea what the first order is How many of them are there? How do they pay for their military? Why doesn't anyone else outside of the fourteen people left in the resistance think that this organization who just blew up a bunch of planets is worth dealing with?

Papercut posted:Luke's defining character trait in the OT, and the thing that makes him more powerful than Vader or the Emperor, is his faith in the humanity of his father. The Jedi poo poo is great and all, but what actually brings down the Empire is his rejection of the idea that Vader was beyond hope. I get that like, he probably has PTSD and whatever from the star war, but his character being a completely different person in the ST really bugged me. Also the fact that so much of the movie was clearly this meta-narrative responding to fan speculation and criticism just made it all feel so cheap.

He wasn't even involved in the storyboarding for 300 yet he gets all the credit for the style of the film. His movies are like case studies in ruining poo poo with toxic masculinity.
