fatbasturd (12/23/2015) [-] its 2009 hanging out with Matt G at a party drunk and high as fock. Hey Matt? want to see something cool? Heres the new Star Wars script Im writing... sound possible? or you just not smart enough to think of reasons on why Simpsons keeps guessing stuff almost correct?

feedtehtrollz ONLINE (12/23/2015) [-] because at a minimum of six years ago, during the same year the first CG alvin movie was released, both people working on the screenplays just so happen to tell Matt G about it? and he chose to believe that both of these movies would come out at the same time on the same year in the future and that the seven Star Wars movie would be well received so he could make the quip "The Apology"?
The **** out of here with your retarded theories.

elsenortamatoe (12/23/2015) [-] Actually mate, this kind of thing happens all the time. People go to parties all the time. They meet contacts and people in the industry talk to each other. It is probably just a coincidence, but the show is full of a lot of those

feedtehtrollz ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] I'm not doubting the party shindig or the fact that the simpsons adds references, more the dudes logic that Matt G knew in 2006 that Episode VII of star wars would be release the same time that a third alvin and the chipmunks movie was because of the party and that it wasn't a coincidence.

vacillantfall (12/23/2015) [-] Don't see why you're getting thumbed down by these neck beards. What you're saying might sound stupid but they're being too ignorant to ignore that you could very well be right. Directors and stuff share scripts and everything secretly to show them to others. Absolutely plausible Matt G sat with JJ at one point or someone else and this came possible. Not a single reason you deserve the downthumb.

Do you have ANY idea how ******* vast and incredibly large the Star Wars lore is?
Oh, but no.. They ******* stopped at 6 films for no god damn reason, and decided NOT to make EVEN MORE money.
It was inevitable. It's like predicting a 40 year old overweight woman is going to order a diet coke. Every single person knows it's going to happen.

subaqueousreach ONLINE (12/23/2015) [-] Star Wars spoilers, don't click:
Anyone else feel Abrams kind of just reshot A New Hope, but changed a couple of the plot elements? I mean they even compared the Deathstar to the planet cannon and were like "this is a little different than last time".
I enjoyed the movie, but the whole time I was just thinking "I've watched this already". It was the same feeling with his Trek movies, the first one was great and the second was too, but the second was just shot for shot the first movie with different reasons for how they got to those points.
Still, way better than the prequels. Good acting, fun story and likable characters.

iamnuff (12/23/2015) [-] i don't think it's a reshot of it, so much as a homage.
Intended to evoke nostalgia and mirror the previous movies, but it mirrored it a little too closely and people didn't like it.
Keep in mind though, that for each similarity there's a huge diffrent.
Ray isn't from a linage of powerful force-sensitive, her parents are scum. Kylo Ren dresses up and acts the part of Vader (powerful, intimidating, confident) but at the end of the day he's more like a less skilled Anakin. (conflicted, whiny, arrogant.)
None of the characters in this movie are particularly strong in the force. (Ray is totally untrained but seems to have plenty of talent, Kylo Ren is barely trained and wasn't exactly hurling TK or lightning around. Finn might not even be force-sensitive.)
No idea why the resistance isn't just the entire alliance.
Considering the "first order" is literally just the empire with a name change after their bosses got killed, I don't know why the alliance isn't still technically at war with them.
Did everyone just pack up and go home when Palpatine died and leave all the imperial officers running the show?

iamnuff (12/25/2015) [-] I know they are, I just don't know why.
"The new Order" is blatantly just the empire.
If there's a "resistance" against it, then it must actually be conquering places, so why is this "Alliance" not fighting it?
Did they stop giving a **** about the Empire the moment they changed their names to something else?

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/First_Order
#127 to #126
-
huntergriff ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] "For the three decades after Endor, the First Order would largely escape galactic attention, with many in the New Republic Senate believing that it posed no real threat to the galaxy at large, with Chancellor Lanever Villecham arguing there was no need for concern as long as it adhered to the dictates of the Galactic Concordance. Despite this, the Order blatantly defied the accords by ushering in the mass mobilization of superior stormtrooper forces, along with violating Republic bans on the sale of weaponry to the First Order and its rules governing capital ships. Testing the resolve of the New Republic, small skirmishes would occasionally erupt between the First Order and Republic, all while the Starkiller operation would seek a suitable planet for implementation"
#129 to #127
-
iamnuff (12/25/2015) [-] so they did totally thumb their noses at the republic, breaking all their laws and even getting into armed conflicts with them at times, but the republic just rolled over and took it, let them build their army in relative peace and their super-weapon in secret.
What a ******* failure.
What a ******* failure.

huntergriff ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] you have to remember, they had just gotten out of a war thirty years earlier. not everyone wanted to go to war, luckily, leia saw the implications of this and started a resistance who I assume will become the Galactic Alliance from the old canon.
#132 to #131

huntergriff ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] i mean...they fled into the unknown regions for a while and didn't fight...I'd assume that means the war ended. Honestly this is going to be a second galactic civil war.

cisdroidcommander (12/23/2015) [-] Its tied with AotC for IMO weakest star wars movie. Not a bad movie, but too similar to ANH. I watched it three times in cinema before i got to this conclusion.

reaperssprint (12/23/2015) [-] For me it wasn't the similarities, it was the ****** writing. The first half of the movie was great, I was hooked. Kylo was set up to be a very powerful bad ass he stops a ******* blaster round with the force then turns into an angsty teenager literally throwing temper tantrums. The romance was forced, a lot of the humor was misplaced and forced. Sometimes I forgot that they were on an urgent mission with how little they seemed to care until that moment where they're like "Oh right, we have this urgent thing to do".
Then there was the last 15-20 minutes of the movie that was so rushed it really hurt it for me. They entire sequence after the attack should have started off the next movie, or at least have been done in a way that didn't feel like I watched a trailer instead of the conclusion. There was so much that left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
There were positives though. The action was on par and kept me interested and reminded me that it was in fact a star wars movie. Despite obvious pandering for race and gender, I actually really like both Finn and Rey, their characters have a lot of potential for some massive growth. Abrams did a pretty ****** job in my opinion. If they fix the cringey attempts at humor and correct the pacing, I'll really be able to enjoy the next one.

mercenaryz (12/23/2015) [-] I liked to think of it as how history tends to repeat itself. As how Greece built many grand monuments with Doric, Ionic and Corinthian elements, and then Rome based many of their grander structures using those elements. It's a pattern of empires attempting to outdo old empires, but using many of the same ideas and elements from those old empires. Just my thought on it, though.

swagbot ONLINE (12/23/2015) [-] Yes, yes, and yes.
AND, the story wasn't nearly as graceful or inspiration-provoking as 4. 4 was a legit 'Space Opera'. 7 was just a few small-scale ground battles, sneak scenes, and personal scenes cut together.
I thought 7's writing was oddly-paced, focusing on sneaking, chase-scenes, and funny-moments. The original 4 tried to show the scenes and settings, and set up a greater sense of planetary grandeur.
I also think 4 did a better job of integrating the Personal Story Thread with the 'Political' Story Thread. 7 destroyed the entire Republic in ~1 minute of film, and yet spent ~40 minutes on the relatively simple Solo family drama.
> The ' Rebels Planning The Attack on Starkiller Base' scene was actually cringe-worthily bad - a complete carbon-copy of 4, but with a hilariously brief and sloppy planning session.
> After all that time, the rebels are still using shlockly technology? Where was the Republic fleet? Where were the big ships? Did they just kick back and get old for ~30 years?
> Come to think of it, what was the entire Galaxy doing for the past 30 years. How did the order have time / resources / leeway to build Starkiller Base?
So as you said, I agree - very disappointed with how JJA deliberately hammered 7 into the tropes of 4, especially with such fertile lore at his disposal.

emberhard (12/23/2015) [-] That was some of my first thoughts exiting the theater. I hated how big of wussies the new order was.
"So they have literally weaponized an entire planet?"
"Yea but its cool, I used to scrub the toilets, just shoot here and you can destroy it."
"Wait, shouldn't we actually like do any planning? Like get our capital ships and frigates in on this? I mean last time it took an entire spy network, a sizable fleet, and actual planning and tactics to take down an object 1/16th this size."
"Nah, its cool, just throw a few x-wings at it. I got you bruh"

the resistance is operating as a separate entity from the new republic, whose current chancellor didn't consider the first order a threat. Oh if only he could have foreseen the consequences of his actions, maybe the hosnian system would have been spared the same fate as alderaan.

They all played their parts at least decently. I'm there for the story, not the actors because I like Star Wars, not white people in Star Wars. This felt better than the prequel trilogy, because it was better than the prequel trilogy, and some people even say it's better than Return of the Jedi (probably because no Ewoks).
Would you mind telling us why, specifically, you thought it was **** ?

Most of the cast are white males. Not that that's a problem, just saying.
the worst thing about this movie is Kylo Ren. There's nothing about him that's menacing, intimidating or compelling. It's like he was the only one they could find that had some abilities with the force so they tried to make him a sith.
I hope we get a new bad guy honestly. Darth Maul was great and barely spoke.
In fact Anakin in the episode 3 is a better bad guy
