Star Wars: The Force Awakens (OFFICIAL THREAD)

[Drew Wonder]

The reason why they're retreading and playing it safe is because of the reception to the prequels. Which departed away from the original trilogy. The prequels are primarily criticised because they're not close enough to the first three and as a result "didn't feel like Star Wars". There's zero reason for a Star Wars movie set 30 years later to still be dealing with Death Stars, Storm Troopers, Tie-Fighters, another Empire, rebels, the same planets (Ice, Desert etc) just with different names etc. It could have easily been fresh and new story with a clean slate that wasn't still being held back by the originals. However if they didn't it would have been the reception to the prequels all over again.

actually the prequels are primarily criticized because they're terrible fukking movies. has nothing to do with being too different from the original trilogy, the prequels are just bad movies with terrible pacing, terrible dialogue, terrible acting, wooden characters and cartoonish CGI. even if the original trilogy never existed the prequels would still be bad on their own. actually you could make the argument that they'd be even worse, since the best moments of the prequels are the scenes that foreshadow to the originals anyway

It's pretty much a modern day remake/reboot of A New Hope with new faces and some old. I expect the trilogy to pretty much mirror the first three with some alterations. The fanbase won't ever let the series properly evolve.

Stop acting like you seen the movie .

His use of a lightsaber is proof enough for me

Why does everyone think Finn is a trick . Finns costume has a light saber holder on it for a reason I think

 

[onlylno]

Not necessarily.

FInn is portrayed as the hero with heart.

Spoiler: From what i Heard

Finn is entrusted the lightsaber to deliver it to Rey because she's the "chosen" one.

Rey rejects her destiny, so, Finn wields it instead.

Finn faces off agains't kylo ren in the forest .

He gets his ass handed to him (He lives tho).

Rey distraught over finn. Grabs the saber with the force and faces Kylo.

His use of a lightsaber is proof enough for me

Its rather clear he has the force within him and will discover it in the 1st film, and develop it over the course of the trilogy

Ive read such a minimal amount of talk about the movie, and this much was already clear to me

Also, hes clearly not going to die in this movie, hes going to be in all 3 movies, not sure what people dont get about that

So to move off the PT hate and the TFA hate without even seeing it ... Ren seems like he could surpass even Vader

Why would the Empire cease to exist because a battle station was destroyed? Did the U.S. crumble after a president was assassinated?
