I know people have trouble with this because it's insanely stupid but it is literally the first thing stated in the opening crawl The only theory that is plausible is the one that the First Order is the New Republic turned fascist not an invading foreign military.

Angry Salami posted:There's no such thing as Sith, Palpatine just made them up to play on the Jedi's superstitions. That's why he dropped the whole Sith name and persona as soon as he won. He never told Anakin because he thinks it's hilarious to watch the idiot have to go along with the Sith nonsense. Sith was a euphemism for force user. The great sith wars where between forces that used the force not some evil empire. The jedi were once force wielding pacifist monks that considered using the force for violence and personal gain to be evil thus the sith. Then they corrupted their dogma to justify becoming agents for a liberal state and kill any one (mostly children) that wield the force yet doesn’t adhere to their rigid dogma. I just wrote TOR trilogy synopsis.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:The thing is is that the marvel movies are the exception to how Disney runs things, not the rule. Their live action attempts outside of marvel are, aside from a couple success stories, infamous trainwrecks of production and plotting. Pretty much all of their recent remakes are overproduced garbage that gets forgotten immediately, and before that they kept striking out with adaptations like John Carter. Outside of animated films, Disney is just straight up bad at making movies, always have been, and they're kept afloat by nostalgia, the parks, and Marvel. It's just that Star Wars is the first time since Pirates that Disney's general incompetence has been under such scrutiny, and star wars fans are far more vocal and numerous. forgot Tron. They hosed up Tron

porfiria posted:Yeah JJ was clearly not interested in material or political realities in TFA and it sounds like he’s even less so here. This is kind of a problem because Star Wars I-VI were quite interested in history and politics. Those concerns have been replaced with, uh, nothing. This is my biggest problem with the ST.

This movie was so much worse than I anticipated. I was with it for the first two acts but it fell off a cliff after Han showed up. It’s like they gave up and I wanted to walk out.

psyman posted:In an ironic way, I think all of the mindless bandwagon loathing of the PT on the web and these forums (even still in this thread) is exactly why the sequel trilogy has turned out to be so lame. It really seems to have been designed to spite the prequels by avoiding everything in them, instead of identifying what worked for audiences and combining the strongest parts of the OT with the strongest of the PT. ST has wonderful set designs, cinematography for the non space battle scenes and the banter is quite witty at times. It fails in coherent space battles, interesting lightsaber duels and plot.

So what is the magic number this movie needs to hit to a) make Disney still want to invest in a new trilogy yet b) not make the same gently caress ups?

Going back through the PT to test this "The ST makes the PT better in retrospect". Attack of the Clones is a good movie and sits at 4 place after the OT. Fight me.

The Little Death posted:Because JJ and Disney suck at storytelling. They definetely understood the theme of violence begetting violence, since at multiple instances Rey chooses peaceful solutions over fighting, unlike all the other characters. The one time she does use violence, she instantly regrets it and heals Kilo. All of this would seem to be pointing to a climactic confrontation where she chooses not to kill him, and in so doing put an end to this cycle of hatred and darkness. But they couldn't figure out how to do that so instead "he destroys himself" because she was holding the block button and dual-wielding. You see this has already been done in Return of the Jedi by Luke. It failed so Rey had to fix everything.

C-Euro posted:Yeah where the gently caress was my green lightsaber? Cowards. Luke flashbacks. Any one noticed Luke is wearing a Hakama and Leia in his black ROTJ suite when she pawns him in sparring? I’m sure they intended to trick the audience into to a role reversal but it goes by to quickly to care.
