AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Apparently Star Wars is a thing. Here are some wrestlers talking about it.

Star wars is amazing.
Go watch it.

Saw it on openings day. It was alright. Fight scenes could be better and the villain was pretty shit. Rest of it was well done though. Looking forward to the sequel.

Saw Star Wars, it was great. I'm impressed with the new actors, Star Wars is a big title and they handled it very well. They fit into the movie greatly and they certainly seem like they will be the new iconic trio (or duo if Poe does not count)

I just got back from seeing Star Wars. As someone that's never seen any Star Wars film, I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure how it fares for fans of the series, but I definitely liked it. I had to watch the 3d version though because we got there late and now my eyes hurt.

Not a fan of The Force Awakens.

I feel like I am alone on this, someone tell me what I missed???

I went in expecting a classic character to die. I was betting on Chewie, but I have no hard feelings about Han biting the bullet because Harrison Ford wanted out in Empire Strikes Back, and he just doesn't have the same screen presence as Han Solo as he did in the original trilogy.

There were no surprises with any sort of impact.

Also, the funny bits. Were there very many funny bits in the other movies?

SO ANYWAY

THE ENTIRE MOVIE FEELS LIKE A REHASH OF 4, 5, AND 6
Featuring:
Death Star Deluxe Edition, with trench run
Hoth 2.0, this time the bad guys live there
Yavin 4: Enhanced Edition, still the rebel base
another shitty desert planet with people trapped there

About Han Solo:
Relationship drama.
The reveal of Kylo Ren as Han and Leia's son had zero impact and felt kind of irrelevant to the plot.
Han's death was entirely apparent as soon as the pointless bridge over the pit came into the shot.
And everybody in the theater HAD TO KNOW that there was no way he was coming back off the bridge. Obviously Kylo Ren was gonna stab him. the stage was set, "come home to mommy and daddy" was spoken, nobody expected it to go any other way.

also the firing of the Starkiller (god they had to go with that name, didn't they? DOesn't everyone who has been alive since the 70s know that that was the working version of Skywalker?)
it had zero impact. the Hosnian System got fucked. Not a single daisies person or character had any emotional investment in that system or the people there.
At least Alderann was Leia's homeworld?

I have a lot more complaints, mostly minor nitpicking. Except for this one. This is the big one:
WHY IS EVERYONE SO YOUNG
WTF?
Like, the Grand Moff Tarkin equivalent who can call Darth Vader Equivalent a snivelling bitch has nowhere near the sort of imposing presence that Peter Cushing did. this dude is like 16 years old, what the hell? Did the First Order outlaw old people? This guy is the least intimidating person every to be cast as a villain.
Like as soon as you saw Darth Vader march through the doorway and take Leia captive, you were like "oh shit this dude is big and bad and holy fuck"
and then Tarkin bosses him around. THAT WAS GOOD.

also the Darth Vader equivalent is juvenile Jon Snow crossed with Attack of the Clones Anakin Skywalker.

BUT SERIOUSLY
THERE ARE LIKE FOUR HUMANS VISUALLY OVER THE AGE OF 30 IN THE ENTIRE FILM
AND TWO OF THEM ARE HAN AND LEIA
THE OTHER TWO ARE FUCKOFFS WHOGIVESASHITS WITH A COMBINED 3 MINUTES OF SCREENTIME
Old guy at the beginning? Who's that? No idea. No emotional impact. some guy with a map bit.
Old woman Rey briefly looks at.

That's it.

Everyone else wouldn't be able to buy cigarettes without an ID.

Also the entire thing felt like set up for the next two movies.

And the Nazi parallels. jfc I know they are called Stormtroopers but it IS possible to make an enemy look bad without making it look like a rally for Hitler to give a speech in the snow.

Add the thing with Han and Chewie on the smuggling ship thing as being kind of... idk, gratuitous. Didn;t really need the two debtors trying to collect, or the sequence with the painfully CGI blob monsters.


that section is my bitching

here are the parts I liked
VFX were fantastic. The sets were great, barring the pointless bridge bit to make Han's death... idk... was it supposed to be dramatic?
sorry some bitching slipped in

Giant hologram Snoke was impressive and creative. I thought Ren and his toddler whipmaster were actually talking to a physically giant Sith Lord. I'm sure that'll be a fun reveal in 8 or 9 when he turns out to be the size of Yoda or something.

Music was great, as it always is in Star Wars.

General Leia Organa didn't feel too forced. I mean it didn't feel like a "well Carrie Fisher is still alive so we HAVE to have her" role. It made sense when you look back at the original trilogy.

the scenes in the ruined Star Destroyer and old destroyed EMpire stuff at the beginning of the film were good. Pretty sure Rey drifted the Falcon at one point, though. When she was going to spin around and fly into the Star Destroyer.

Ireland is rather pretty, I can see why Luke would want to live there.

i'm sure i'll come up with more shit to complain about, but in the mean time feel free to judge me

\

I agree with this completely, they laid it on so thick I actually laughed out loud in the theater when the Stormtroopers did the salute.

I really liked Episode VII! I don't want to say anything, even in spoiler tags, but just go see it!

WE HAVE ANOTHER GOOD STAR WARS MOVIE

Watched "I Saw The Devil". Pretty fucked up film, probably not for every one. Think I enjoyed it though, it made an impact at least.

I have several issues with Star Wars and I don't even know where to start.

you can read my very long post and tell me where i am right and where i am wrong

Having had time to STEW, I would be open to watching Star Wars again. But I still hate that every character is youthful, except for returning ones (and the two unimportant side characters who have a combined screentime of 15 seconds).

I saw Star Wars on New year's eve.

Has anyone seen the Hateful Eight yet?
