A desert planet, but not Tatooine and it has its own architectural style. Kylo had a lightsaber, but in a completely new style.

@zacharymop I disagree. I think TFA allowed plenty of room for very easy justification for all the issues that some people had with it if the sequels had been done properly. Rey being a Mary Sue being the biggest issue. That could have easily been followed up by either the expected route of making Rey a generational inherently powerfully imbued force wielder because she was the offspring of a Skywalker or Kenobi, or more interestingly she could have been a non-familial instrument of the Force itself, adding to the mystical element of the Force. That would explain her vision when she grabbed the lightsaber and her seeming ease in tapping into the Force. Chosen possibly because of her unwavering faith and belief in the face of a harsh reality (that of her family returning for her after being abandoned or sold into slave labor.) If Snoke had been better written and made more of a powerful threat (even more so than Palpatine) and Kylo had been equally better explored, the Force being compelled to find balance to scales so heavily tipped by both, choosing someone to be it's instrument for the light side of the force (in a time when Jedi's no longer exist and their teachings have gone long since forgotten) would've explained everything on Rey's end perfectly and also would've been something new and interesting in the Star Wars universe.

Bebi Meta they also could have done anything... like literally anything important at all with Finn. Such a good character premise that they just never explored. One thing i find REALLY interesting is how Poe killed Finns friend, and that’s what pushed him to leave the first order, and then to become friends with and save Poe. This idea has SO much potential if Finn found out that his reason to join the Resistance was that his current best friend *killed* his comrade. It would be a huge source of conflict and inner turmoil. Should Finn forgive him? Should he move on? But no. We got one tease about “something I need to tell you”, the pointless casino side plot and an awkward and forced romance with Rose that was also not built upon (thank god; best wishes to the actress though, people who went after her for the character she played are fuckwits) , a hug with Rey and Poe, and a whole lot of “REYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!”. Come on Disney. You had ‘unlimited power’ so to say, but you failed to ‘dew’ anything with the character that is 1) the only main character to be black so far (not counting Landó even though he’s cool because he was introduced at the end of the second movie and he isn’t part of the main trio of the OT; and mace windu is DEFINITELY not a main character) and 2) had the deepest thematic potential and backstory/setup for a character arc out of your whole trilogy.

I don't even care about seeing it, but I really want to watch this review. So my main motivation is a hack fraud KZfaq video. Well played Disney. Well played. To be fair that doesn't say much about the film, I have only seen the teaser trailer and I can already predict what will happen. It will follow the same structure as the first Star Wars from 1977, our heroes will be introduced early on but probably after the villain, there will be a big low point where someone dies (most likely Harrison Ford's character, and if that happens I hope they don't have a wookie crying seen because that will create some mixed emotions in the audience - 'coz it will probably be hilarious), at the end they destroy something or retrieve an object that will become relevant in later films and it all ends with a big, happy ceremony where everyone gets medals or something similar.

A lot of people are saying this movie is only getting good reviews because they copied the original movies. Most SW fans hate the prequels, so it would appear JJ decided if people love the original movies so much why not give them the original movies again? Although... the prequels also followed the original movies. What's different? The characters! It all comes down to the characters. We laugh at their jokes, we see where they come from, we see the hardships they endure from their past and what they go through together, we see them at their lowest point and we see them become badasses. This is called character development, the prequels threw out some random lines to make it seem like the characters were growing but we don't ever see it so we ignore that information when judging whether or not we like them. Finn is a good example of the impact their actions will have on your opinion. We see him as the bloody Stormtrooper at first, blood that came from a fellow Trooper. He doesn't say a single word during that whole scene but his body language tells it all. The action is a bit, Michael Bay style but a little more reserved. But I completely agree with Mike and Jay, the fan service got kind of annoying.

My only real issue with the film is that Rey is more Mary Sue than Wesley Crusher. She's a superb pilot (of a ship she's never flown), an experienced practitioner with the Force mere seconds after learning she has any ability at all with it, and was able to fix the Millennium Falcon with more skill than its owner, Han Solo, though her only mechanical experience consists of pulling scrap from wrecked star destroyers. If all that wasn't enough to put her completely into the "wish fulfillment character" zone, it gets worse. After an event which should have led to a very necessary emotional scene between Chewbacca and Leia, does Chewbacca look at Leia, does Leia even look at Chewbacca? Nope, there's no interaction between the two at all, they walk right past each other; instead Leia embraces Rey, though this would be the first point in the film they have even met. This is the most baffling point in the entire movie. I was looking, dumbfounded, at the screen, thinking, "Where are you going Chewbacca? Is there a buffet table offscreen? Don't you have something to tell Leia? Where are you going???"

***** Luke's "Training" in a nutshell -- Obi-wan hands Luke his father's lightsaber and Luke somehow knows intuitively how to turn it on. Luke then witnesses the Jedi Mind Trick in Mos Eisley, but is never really taught by Ben how to use it. On the Falcon, Luke receives about twenty minutes of training with a flying whiffle ball, gets his ass kicked, but is told to put the blast shield down and trust his feelings, and within SECONDS is able to fend off a number of blasts. Ben then literally tells him, "You've taken your FIRST steps into a larger world." Training Session Ends. Luke then somehow makes it through the Death Star. His teacher DIES during that time. After barely understanding the concept of hyperdrive earlier in the film -- which Han explains to him -- he ends up gunning a piece of hardware different from a T-16 and takes out 2 TIE Fighters. He returns to Yaavin, and is handed a million dollar piece of equipment to fly on the Rebellion's greatest mission -- despite not getting the concept of something simple like hyperdrive hours earlier. He manages to OUTMANEUVER his Ace-Pilot dad with decades of experience -- with BOTH WINGMEN GONE -- turn off his targeting computer, and score the Galaxy saving shot that the head of the squadron -- with YEARS more experience than Luke -- couldn't hit. Like Rey in Force Awakens, piloting skills are MENTIONED, but NEVER SHOWN till dramatically convenient. On Hoth, Luke is able to retrieve his lightsaber with the Force, even though no one taught him how to do that either. On Dagobah, Yoda doesn't even want to train him! After failing some key tests, Luke leaves DESPITE his training not being complete. Training time? Depending on who you talk to, either a few days, weeks, or months. But certainly not since a "Youngling" like Jedi are supposed to be. On Bespin, he fends off an attack from a guy who's been sabering since a child, DOES get his ass kicked, but lives to fight another day after calling Leia (a skill never shown in-film before). In Jedi, he builds his lightsaber SOMEHOW, uses the mind trick (who did Yoda teach him to practice that on? The swamp frogs?), and defeats a Rancor without even using the Force (why pick a rock up when you can Force chuck it?). He then goes back to Dagobah and Yoda says HIS TRAINING IS SOMEHOW COMPLETE! He then goes to Endor and convinces a bunch of Killer Teddy Bears to enlist with the help of his droid. Then he goes to Death Star II and BESTS his dad with decades of experience, including the CLONE WARS -- all based on a few months of Yoda's training which INITIALLY FAILED in Empire, and with NO ADDITIONAL TRAINING since then. He then pilots out of the exploding space station in JUST the knick of time. Conclusion? Luke is obviously a well rounded character who had nothing come easy to him. Rey is a Mary Sue.

It should have been hidden under the surface of the planet and the big reveal happens when they start up its engines and it blows away the crust of the planet. Instead, they put the damn thing right on the movie poster. And NOW what's the Empire going to do? Build another one? You don't HAVE to follow the original trilogy exactly.

I also felt the same about The Force Awakens, and am happy Mike and everyone else can truly move on from the prequels.

I feel like everyone calling this movie shit are the exact people that Jay describes as "thinking Star Wars is this epic, grand story", when it's just about fun space adventures. He hit the nail right on the head. It's about characters more-so than a sweeping epic story. The adventure in a New Hope is merely a backdrop for characters to play off each other. Here, it's the same thing with totally different people. I like that the linking factor between Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren, is that they're all afraid of their future. It's really compelling and far more intriguing than anything in the prequels and on par with the character motives from the original. Honestly, upon second viewing, the New Hope comparisons seemed less applicable. Yes, the Starkiller could've been removed for something new, but it simply wasn't enough to bring it down for me.

Other than Kylo Ren, the worse thing about this movie is that there is nothing to it at all even characters who I felt nothing for even Rey who I hoped I would like. All the movie sums up to is, some group wants to take things over again, they're stopped by the rebels (no surprise), Luke is found, and Rey is likely a jedi (again no surprise), the end.

She is then turned into an Assassin and after witnessing such cruelty and the little tug of the light side, Kylo goes back to the Republic and tries in all his power to get his mother's trust and love back and finish his Jedi training under Luke. Luke is then killed by Rey while his guard is down and Kylo goes to confront Rey and bring her back to the Light. An emotional battle ensues much like in Jedi and they both come to the Light and push Snoke into beyond the outer rim into unknown space, like with the Forgotten Empire.

Han is reckless and unconcerned with laws and morals that keep him from doing what he wants. Leia would have struggled raising him with the loss of everyone she loves and her home planet. Ben was raised in a dysfunctional home with parents who could never work and would always argue. combine that with the zest for power that vader, luke and Leia all show it becomes very reasonable that he would seek a father figure and something to belong to that also helped him reach his goals.

I thought the movie was pretty OK. It's VERY derivative of ep. 4, it "dances around" thick, emotional themes instead of dealing with them, and has a weaker villain. Oh yea, and about three spots in the film will probably just make you roll your eyes with either A: something unbelievably convenient, or B: Hollywood cheesiness to the max. Far from a bad movie, but I'm just not seeing the same "OMG IT'S THE BEST MOVIE EVER OMG OMG OMG OMG PKAHFPSHFHAFAHFP" That everyone else is spewing about... 8.5/10 is very fair for such a 'safe' movie, imho.

+John Cummings I don't think they were "dancing around" emotional moments, they had new characters and the prime goal is to introduce them. I feel like emotional heavy lifting comes later. But I ended up falling in love with these characters. But I agree it was reminiscent of Episode IV, to the point where the end climax was REALLY similar, but that's fine.

This movie has the same problem as Avengers 2--there's not enough tension. The characters should've been pushed to their limits more. If they tortured them all more (in their own ways) it would've been more interesting. They got their victories too easily. Other problems: -Snoke looks dumb. Same with the other CGI monsters. That red knight that Fin was going to leave with was badass though. -Fin doesn't act like someone taken away from home and brainwashed by a militant dictatorship. At all. And it doesn't matter that he worked in sanitation. We're talking about an organization that kidnaps children and doesn't hesistate to murder billions. -Kylo Ren helped kill billions. When you're psychotic enough to do that you aren't struggling with the light side. -Rei gets her powers too fast, and knows how to use them too well. How'd she know how to mind control people right away? Regardless of whether it's fair or not, her becoming overpowered kills what could've been a lot of tense moments.
@superheartattack74988 жыл бұрын
Problems (cont.): -The rebels destroy a planet in five minutes with a tiny fleet. In Jedi they had an armada just to fight half a Death Star, and the Super Star Destroyer. -The remnants of the Empire building a planet sized weapon. Building a base the size of a moon was insane enough. There's no way they had enough time to build a weapon so huge that it's not only clearly seen from space, but takes up most of the planet. -That railingless walkway Ren kills Han on. What a death trap. The CGI background in that scene is awful too. -Rei being able to fly the Falcon instantly through ridiculously tight spaces. -The sanitizing of the violence. While Star Wars has never been overly graphic, they still managed to tone it down. No longer do we see pilots screaming as they're blown to bits. And did they even let any of the female pilots get killed? -Rei and Fin trust each other too fast. Same with Fin and Poe. -Rei locating Luke on planet Ireland right away. Good thing that map was up to date

MINOR SPOILER Luke actually had more jedi training than that time on Dagobah - he was training with lightsaber on Han's ship (just like the kids in academy), than he was led by Obi-Wan's spirit guides, revealing his bonds with the force. And Rey? She's perfect technician, perfect pilot, perfect scavanger, perfect fighter and excellent jedi at once. She knows the jedi moves without taking single lesson or tip from anyone. So I must disagree here - her path is unexplained and poor made in terms of character development - we have everything presented without any effort. Only confrontation is not enough to explain anything and far away from what Luke had to accomplish before it.

+Tomily182 I find it incredibly hard to believe... that YOU find it hard to believe, that someone who's existences relies solely on scavenging ships for parts, taking those parts apart, and selling them, would have a fairly decent knowledge on how they work. So... it explains he technician abilities, her piloting abilities, and her scavanging abilities pretty easily. "perfect fighter" based on what? The fact that she barely managed to beat a hurt, emotionally unstable, cocky, pretentious rookie jedi turned sith in saber fight that was 95% her running, ducking, blocking, and trying not to get killed? Yeah... okay. And perfect Jedi? She did two things. It's not like she was force pushing jets into stormtroopers like carrie or some shit. But It's a valid complaint. So far, the only valid complaint though.

@Helldog68 жыл бұрын
jake l0rd 1) I said it was a valid complaint 2) Kylo got hit, directly, with a Bowcaster that's been constantly shown to put grown ass men (and women) on their ass for the 10 count. He was bleeding (they showed the blood on him and in the snow). Being injured and being immobile are not the same thing. A minor injury can easily change the complexion of a fight, an injury like that can greatly change it. However, that doesn't mean they will immediately hinder movement, strength and speed. All Finn getting overpowered means is that a hurt Ren is still stronger than a healthy Finn. If that wasn't enough, he's constantly shown to hit his side multiple times and i thought his abandonment of skill and technique for a more aggressive style, illustrates perfectly his lack of experience and skill, and shows that the injury had effected him. Let me make a point clear, the level of someones skill is nothing more than a statistic when you get down to it. A high level fighter just means a higher probability of winning. A high leveled fighter can lose to a novice, it happens all the time. The likelihood of that happening is slim, yes, but it's probable. The injuries, the internal conflict, the cockiness, are all factors that increase the probability of the novice being able to win. The higher the probability, the higher chance of getting beaten. That doesn't mean the novice will win every time, however, in this case, they did. 3) Leader of the knights of Ren? And that means what? What have we seen? Nothing. What they are? Who they are? What they do? What they can do? Each of their respective skills? Their abilities? For all we know they are a great team that uses team-work to help amplify ones singular abilities and play off them for greater success? Or maybe they're all better than Ren but Ren was put in charge because of his sensitivity to the force? Or maybe because he's Snokes apprentice? Him being a member of the Knights of Ren says absolutely nothing about his skill level and the only thing we know of them is that he's the leader and that they are in a force flashback at one point. And all him being a leader of them say, possibly, is that he's better than them. And trained by Luke... in what? Force? Which would explain his immense force abilities. However, Luke's Saber ability lacks tremendously from what we know. He trained, really, to beat an old burnt man with limited motion and lacking physical strength. But he didn't spend his whole life being trained in Saber-wielding. Ben didn't teach him, Yoda.. as far as we know... didn't teach him how to fight with a Saber either. How good could Luke possibly be with a Saber? Good enough to give student passable skills? Which Ren clearly has? And what do we know about Snoke's training? We know Ren never completed it. And we've never actually seen a sith training their apprentice in saber fighting, and they seem to focus mainly on Force abilities. But still, you see the point.
