I'm definitely not a contrarian or a go against the grain type of dude. Generally speaking, when the masses love a movie more often than not I love it as well. But it baffles me the amount of people who think Force Awakens is a great movie. I thought it was lazy, uninspired and just completely half-assed. I saw it in theaters and haven't had the desire to watch it again. And mind you, I'm a Star Wars fan who WANTED to love this movie, and I still came out disappointed.
It held my 3 year olds attention but i have a 4k television :youngsabo:

"may the force be with you"

- han solo to luke right before the death star x-wing attack

han finally believed in something greater than himself. the force was acting through him.




yoda tells luke not to go, that he should let his friends die if he believed in what they fought for. going to cloud city was luke's decision and his alone.



i guess you didn't see him force choke those guards at the beginning.

luke was playing jabba.




"soon i'll be dead, and you with me"

- luke to the emperor

once again luke was acting alone and it had nothing to do with the rebellion. however if you ask me it's no coincidence that once anakin sees the light the devil is vanquished and the empire falls. whether everyone is aware of it or not, the battle for the galaxy is being decided in that throne room.



prequel bullshyt
The jedi defeat the empire and then the republic gets annihilated in less then 50 years by the First Order.

fukk was the point of all that fighting. :mjlol:

The entire 6 star wars films were an elaborate plan by Snoke to regain control of the galaxy and establish the First Order. .

when you put it like that, it really is astonishing.

i dislike TFA more and more as time passes.
Everything they did in the star wars films was just stalling the ultimate destruction of the republic. If they had just bowed down to the Empire they might have been better off but the meddling of Han Solo, Luke, and Leia pretty much led to everyones death.

Luke need to keep his bytch ass in hiding.

Still one of my favorite movies of 2015. Guess that's an unpopular opinion now but I don't really give a shyt. Best opening night theater experience in awhile.

I don't have any desire to see it again any time soon though.

Proof single mothers and their love of thugs just create create most the problems in the world.

Leia is a stupid bytch that fell for an arms smuggler and Anakin didnt even know who his daddy was. The Force? Dead beat father that allowed his son to become a homicidal maniac under control of some demented fakkit.

Why the fukk would anyone want the Force to be with them when the Force helped create 1 of the worst maniacs the galaxy ever saw, who went on to be stanned by his grandson who completed the destruction of the Republic.

I hated John Boyega portrayal of Finn, at first, especially when compared to how badass he was in the comic but he's not a bad character not was he a damn c00n.

Do people not realize he's going through a pretty classic "Hero's Journey" literary structure?

They've already shown signs of Finn being shown as one of the more heroic and the most complex characters in Star Wars but dudes aren't even spotting the signs.

-Finn's moral compass and mental strength is among the strongest we've seen. People sleeping on the fact that Finn is a child soldier that has been indoctrinated and subjugated his entire life to think the First Order is his entire world but he was able to free himself of that mental programming and engineer an escape, something that is unheard of ever.

-He's the first storm trooper to break free of the mental shackles they placed on him and his moral compass is so strong that it made him do the impossible.

-Finn has shown the same superhuman adaptability skills that Rey has. Finn has never seen actual combat or fired and actual shot until he flew away with Poe. People forget that he almost immediately grasped how to use multiple blaster controls in multiple ships good enough to outshoot trained pilots. Also, notice how quickly Finn started ripping through storm troopers the second he picked up a weapon he was familiar with

-Tactical and guerilla expertise. It was Finn's plan to gas Han and Chewie when they thought they were enemies and climbing aboard the ship. If that had been the First Order, they would have been killed because of Finn's quick thinking. Before Han and Finn find Rey on Starkiller Base, it's Finn who is coming up with the attack plan and handling the tactics.

I could also go on by how Finn made his own choices, choosing loyalty over the mission (When he prioritized saving Rey over destroying Starkiller), which makes sense when you see that Rey was the first person to treat him like a human. It also fits thematically because choosing the mission over the individual lives of the soldiers is absolutely a First Order mindset and Finn is shown to be the moral center of the film.

Outside of that, they're already framing as courageous and giving him heroic personality traits as a foundation of his heroic adventure.

Indoctrinated child soldier fights against lifetime of mental programming after experiencing the unjust rule of his oppressor and becomes a hero by embracing the same humanity and emotions that his enslavers tried to stamp out of him. That's a good framework for a heroic character, no matter what y'all seem to think.

They are framing Rey as heroic and bending over backwards to make sure she subverts any and every negative stereotype about white women being weak or incompetent.

They did not bother to do this for Finn. They were happy to make the only black character a slave, a buffoon, a janitor, an uneducated, hapless loser who knows nothing about tools or the Force, is played for laughs every time he's onscreen, and fails to win a single fight in 2 hours of runtime.

Name one white character in 7 films who has been treated this shabbily:
