As a Star Wars story


I dont know these characters and I dont care about them. The only thing I connect with is Vader and Tarken. I have tried several times to watch it all the way through but I just cant get into it as an old school Star Wars og.

reply

This is my biggest beef with the film: I just don't connect with the characters. The rest of the film falls apart as a result. For example: the action scenes are bland and tension-free (because I don't care who lives or dies).

ISNT EVERYONE'S BIGGEST BEEF WITH THE NEW SW FLICKS..THAT THEY LEAN ON ORIGINAL CHARACTERS AND PEDDLE NOSTALGIA INSTEAD OF CREATING NEW CHARACTERS AND BUILDING NEW WORLDS? AS OPPOSED TO ROGUE ONE WHICH WENT THE OTHER WAY AND PAINTED WITH A NEW BRUSH FOR ONCE.

reply

well said.

Well , actually, you could have said it without the caps but .... good point!

reply

Actually no, people wanted new stories, new worlds, correct, but they wanted the old characters as well, they wanted, you know, a STAR WARS movie. They wanted to see again Luke, Han, Leia. And not just shadows of them.

7 could have been used as way to move the story from the old characters to the new ones. They did a bad job.

reply

THATS WHAT YOU GOT WITH THE FORCE AWAKENS...DIDNT WORK.

reply

No, we didn't get that.

We got a pale copy of the world story with pale new characters and shadows of the original characters. Just for fan service and to justify a connection with the old saga.

That's why it didn't work. Because they tried to graft dead cells over gangrene ones.

And of course the new characters were just slapstick chars, no real depth, development, evolution.

That's why it didn't work.

Anaking: his character evolved. Same for Luke. Rey? Nothing. Poe? Nothing. Not even Kylo.

reply

LMAO...YOU SAID ANAKIN...OK,NUFF SAID...YOU LIKE PREQUELS..NO SENSE THROWING WORDS WITH YA.

reply

I don’t like the prequels, but they at least got some things right.

The new ones managed to get those things wrong as well.

reply

THERE A RE A OT OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THESE DAYS....SO JADED BY THE YEARS THAT YOU CANT RECOGNIZE THE DISNEY STAR WARS ARE AVERAGE TO GOOD AND THE PREQUELS DESPITE TIME AND COMPARISONS,ARE STILL GIANT USELESS TURDS FULL OF THE WORST SHIT LUCAS COULD IMAGINE.

reply

God, you are annoying with full caps. Are you retard or something?

reply

I BELIEVE YOU MEANT A DIFFERENT,VERY ASSHOLE "R" WORD....DO YOU FIND BEING A HATE FILLED MONSTER TO BE AMUSINS OR?....PERSONALLY I THINK YOURE PRETTY SAD...USING WORDS AS UGLY AS THAT,AND FOR NOTHING MORE THAN THROWING SOME SHADE....WOW.

reply

You are the only on using hate and “ugly” words. Beside acting like a retard and writing in caps.

reply

INCORRECT.I HAVENT SAID ONE HATEFUL OR UGLY WORD TOWARDS ANYONE....YOU HOWEVER HAVE MADE THE VERY AWKWARD,SIMPLETON DECISION TO TAKE EXCEPTION TO CAPS AND STARTING THROWING A VERY UNCOOL WORD AROUND LIKE ITS A FUN INSULT...TRY BEING NICER.

reply

Agreed. The guy writing in caps is a retard.

reply

So what did you want? The original cast to be alive and 40 years younger?

reply

Lol

reply

No not really but good story telling will make you care about characters. So I guess better storytelling is what I wanted.

reply

Yup.

Or new characters I care about instead of a group I can barely remember.

reply

too many side stories I don't care for either..

Mads is always awesome and watchable.

reply

Really?? Miss Bucky Beaver? I don't care if you like an actor or not, but that's just really uncalled for.

reply

Sound the alarm, someone is outside of their safe space. Lol. When I was growing up there was a creed that went "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me." I wish to pass along this sage advice to whatever generations these are now.

reply

Oh FFS

I grew up with that creed too, but you know what I'd like to know? How does this contribute to your comment about the movie?

No one was asking for a safe space. Just a little bit of common decency. Further to that, I wasn't even commenting about anything you've said, unless you are sivagish as well.

reply

OK then to your point regarding this particular film I offer The Mandalorian as example that something completely new and different in the Star Wars universe can be excellent. I am loving it and the latest episode, 8, is a 10/10.

reply

I liked Rogue One much better than ep7 and 8.

reply

The script wasn't very good.
