Jiro posted:Evil Rey is either some stupid rear end vision, or one of the Knights of Ren that can shapeshift or project images themselves. I'm putting my money on the latter. A tryhard evil dweeb making an overly complicated lightsaber fits right in line with Ren. Prime Rey is one of multiple clones made by Palpatine and hidden throughout the galaxy, in order to defeat him she must first destroy Evil Rey and her tuning rod.

Captain Jesus posted:Rey is angry and has no chill. She likes fighting and blowing things up. She always rushes right into a fight both in TFA and TLJ. I find that kinda endearing. Rey's temperament makes sense for someone who grew up an orphan fending for herself in a barren hostile hell hole with no resources. She shouldn't be well adjusted. She's not a white girl from suburbia.

Captain Jesus posted:I don't disagree with this and this reading makes sense, but Rey is pretty normal when you put aside her temperament issues. She is somehow a fan of the rebellion, knows things about the galactic history (who Han Solo and Luke are, heard about the Kessel run) and knows about the resistance. So she kinda is a white girl from suburbia who has action figures in her room and dreams about becoming a pilot. The characterization is muddled. I don't have a problem with her knowing some of these things. Even in the middle ages peasants knew stories and legends of knights and battles, and Rey is essentially a space peasant. What doesn't particularly make sense for her is her selflessness and her desire to join the rebellion. Someone like her should be primarily concerned with looking out for number one. Finn, yeah, he's just a hot mess of contradictions and walk backs.

Nitrousoxide posted:So, where exactly is the New Republic in this fight with the First Order? I'm really confused as to where their fleet is and why the First Order just seems to be rolling over an extant galactic wide government. The "resistance" was just supposed to be a proxy war between the First Order and the New Republic? It's so dumb that we have to ask these kind of questions. They tried so hard to avoid the boring political talk of the prequels that they leaned waaaay too hard in the other direction.

The majority of the fleet was docked around the Hosnian system planets, which Starkiller destroyed.

General Dog posted:I feel like I've said it multiple times before, but it's not like the writers of The Force Awakens had jam their story into some existing chronology. They had carte blanche to come up with whatever political reality they wanted, and had a 35 year runway from the events of Return of the Jedi to get there, and for some reason this is what they decided on- a stable Republic, an ostensibly small, incompetent group of right-wing terrorists, and a Death Star x1000 that would have taken presumably all the money in the known universe to build that serves as a magic reset switch for everything. Has it really been explained that the new Republic is actually stable?

What's not really clear to me is the Resistance's relationship with the Republic.No Mods No Masters posted:From what I can remember from jivjov's insane lectures and screeds, the main characteristic of the new republic was its being full of secret first order members, with the exception of leia and her friends New Republic leadership didn't go through a de-Palpafication. There's your problem.

If they had slipped a line in about how the New Republic was some highly limited "Articles of Confederation" type government that barely had any authority or resources it would have explained so much.

Teek posted:Bad guy motivations never seem to make much sense if you stop and actually think about it. When Lucas made the prequels, he made Anakin's motivations even more nonsensical. Okay, so Vader supports the Empire and wants to kill Palpatine. Okay, but why is he loyal to a regime that grew out on a conflict he now knows was fake and manufactured? He knows Palpatine played him and the galaxy, there's no reason he has to stick by his side as a dog on a leash. "Oh, well I'm evil now, guess I just have to bide my time until I can try to kill my boss?" Except he saves Palpatine's life multiple times, but then also wants Luke to join him so they can kill the Emperor. Well, what is it Vader? Do you want to end the destructive conflict or just constantly perpetuate all the manufactured poo poo the Empire does to stay in power? When he's Anakin he clearly states that he thinks democracy is a joke and fascism is the wave of the future. Just because he knows Palpatine played him doesn't mean his opinion on everything else changes.

General Dog posted:As much as I like Palpatine and like Return of the Jedi, I don't understand how Palpatine envisioned things turning out when he brought Luke up to the throne room and took off his handcuffs. Seems like the only possible outcomes are: Nothing at the beginning of that movie made sense so why should the ending.

Carrie Fisher's voice really, really took me out of the new movies every time she was on screen. I know it wasn't her fault, but I can't reconcile the idea of Leia sounding like she has meth mouth.

Robot Style posted:Part of Lucas' opening crawl for Episode 7 is in the TFA art book, and mentions a "Coalition of Star Systems" that's challenging the New Republic's right to rule the galaxy, which sounds like an evolution of the Separatists from the prequels. Would evil be everywhere?
