Another prequel, reusing the same shit from the movies. The death star (or some version of it) has been in Episodes II, III, IV, V, VI and VII. And now it is in Rogue One. I'm sick of the fucking sphere.
Apparently the force is now an omnipotent being with a 'will'. I'm sick of this religious propaganda being shoved down our throats and this repackaging of god as a palatable idea.
The beach invasion scenes are something taken from Thin Red Line or We Were Soldiers. Did the directors and producers want to make a Vietnam film but got Star Wars instead? They even added Asians.
>the odds of survival are... >he means well It's not the exact same line, but it is obviously a reference to C3PO. Can we have a Star Wars movie that isn't full of references to the other ones? How about some originality?
Now I'm going to be the asshole who 'doesn't like anything' when I don't like this piece of shit. The Force Awakens was garbage, and I have a feeling this will be, too.
Since this is a prequel to A New Hope, we know what's going to happen. So all the action scenes are for nothing because we know how it all ends.
They keep making shit after shit and we (the collective we) eat it all up and ask for seconds. They tell us fuck you and we pay for the privilege.
But we all knew these were going to be shit when Disney bought the rights, right?
Brandon Moore
>Can we have a Star Wars movie that isn't full of references to the other ones?
Literally EVERY movie after New Hope has been, even the best one Empire is just full of New Hope references.
Henry Adams

I stopped reading your austismo rant when you said the Death Star appears in Empire Strikes Back.
Andrew Walker

It's mentioned.
Caleb Flores
>The Force Awakens was garbage
Literally better than all 3 prequels and could easily be ranked as good as Return of the Jedi
But yeah, milking the feminine agenda two films in a row has apparently turned this franchise into a lame ass social justice statement, when before it was just a well thought out and entertaining universe.
But what should we expect? It's disney...

So is the Empire the white male patriarchy? The casting sure does make it appear so

Did you see TFA? Of course it is. Can't have a heroic white male in Star Wars anymore of course.

Wow, how awful.
Isaac Fisher
White women are a minority now?
Christian Hall
ROTJ is bad, everything besides the Luke vs Vader confrontation is like a 90s cartoon episode made for manchildren. ROTJ is the ultimate pleb/fanboi detector where they think it's anywhere near the quality of ANH or ESB just because it isn't "a prequel"
Ethan Nelson
tfa and this movie are literally about the colored people and the white feminist fighting evil white men
Carter Ross
>ROTJ is the ultimate pleb/fanboi detector where they think it's anywhere near the quality of ANH or ESB just because it isn't "a prequel"
ROTJ is still better than Eps I, II and III, combined.
Jackson Walker
That's from Aliens though

Seriously though, who gives a fuck about Star Wars anymore? It's the most autistic and milked franchise in existence. Fuck Star Wars and fuck it's moron fans.
Alexander Myers

And ofcourse the Empire is all white because of the obvious nazi symbolism, it would be stupid to put a mongolian as the general of the Empire.
Carter Lewis
in film they are
Matthew Sullivan
And I agree. ROTJ atleast has the Luke vs Vader scenes, while the prequels are just a big pile of shit.
James Murphy
>And ofcourse the Empire is all white because of the obvious nazi symbolism
there is no racism in the Empire so casting an all white Empire is only because that is what sells ''evil oppressive white society vs minorities and the oppressed xd''
Evan Long
They're not all white though. There was the most dark skinned African looking dude present when the General Hux was giving his speech in TFA.
Josiah Parker
>Apparently the force is now an omnipotent being with a 'will'. I'm sick of this religious propaganda being shoved down our throats and this repackaging of god as a palatable idea. Thanks for the giggle, user.
Liam Turner
Pickin' both, you hack
The camera work alone did TFA justice compared to the prequels, plus the attempt to capture the Star Wars universe in the current state of cinema didn't fall short in the slightest, the bar was raised if anything. Especially when you consider how hard the prequels failed at just about everything in it's attempt to bring the franchise up to date. Also Rey was legit and could have passed as a female lead outside of the feminine era.
Adrian Howard
>Apparently the force is now an omnipotent being with a 'will'
And the main character keeps making fun of the 'force'
Jordan Nelson
ROTJ is half of a brilliant movie and half of an absolutely awful movie thrown into a blender. Which makes it exactly the same as I and III.
II is more like 3/4ths of an awful movie and 1/4 of a movie that could have been better than TESB.
VII is a soulless husk of corporate filmmaking, wearing the Star Wars iconography in much the same way that the space cockroach wore Vincent D'Onofrio's skin. The story sucks as hard if not harder than anything in the prequels, and it has none of George Lucas' autistic sense of world building or attention to detail.
The only true ranking is: V>IV>>>>I=III=VI>II>>>>>>VII
Jeremiah Rogers
>V>IV>>>>I=III=VI>II>>>>>>VII
>IV not the best >I better than VI wew
Bentley Thomas
You might hate everything about VII, but ranking it below II is fucking silly
Brandon Moore
>wasting quads on a fucking retard's post
Shame
Parker Gonzalez
No. It's about the fact we will never have a white male lead in anything Star Wars that isn't a prequel ever again. Even less of a chance of two white men bro'ing it up like Luke and Han.
Julian Cook
Apart from the plans being mentioned, the death star really isn't in 2 or 3
>Even less of a chance of two white men bro'ing it up like Luke and Han.
Or seeing another slave Leia.
William Baker
In the opening crawl, referencing what has happened since the Death Star was destroyed doesn't count.
Brody Hernandez
>the Zelda effect is real
Never would I expect to come see people praising TFA
Lincoln Russell
I'm bored, here's your
(you)
Nicholas Richardson
>only white male who speaks in the trailer mentions shackling people >evil white male nazi empire shown
it's like they aren't trying to hide it anymore
Nathan Williams
That was painful to watch.
Jack Russell
Yeah, y'know apart from that scene with them looking at its construction in III
Isaiah Hughes
>VII is a soulless husk of corporate filmmaking It was only marketed as such, the film itself was fine. Also the stories of the prequels read like stories out of pre school, you knew what was coming 45 minutes before anything ever happened.
Do we even know who Rey belongs to?
Asher Wood
Oscar Isaac is latin american, hence he is a colored person.
Jonathan Perry
Kek'd hard.
Not one scene comes even close to the "brilliant half" of ROTJ. The prequels don't even have a half, they are more like 1 tenth okay, and the rest is undigestable utter dogshit. TFA is just okay throughout, atleast it works as a movie, while the prequels fail at every film making element possible (especially epII). They only get a pass at world building, but that isn't so hard to do in 3 fucking movies is it
Sebastian Bennett
A hologram in II is shown, and literally the Death Star itself being built is in III. No mention of it in V, though.
Connor Rogers
I is the same as VI. There are some fucking incredible sequences, and there are some fucking god-awful ones too.
I just ranked the equal ones in numerical order to satisfy my autism.
Julian Evans
>IV>V I'm tired of this juvenile meme opinion
Sebastian Rodriguez
only complete nostalgia fags think that
Adam Wright
Reminder that Disney own Marvel and Star Wars
Dylan Stewart
The Kamino battle, the asteroid field chase, and the sequence when Anakin goes off to find his mother and ends up slaughtering the tusken raiders are unironically better Star Wars than any part of TFA.
And I fucking hate attack of the clones and find it painful to sit through.
Michael Bailey
I, for one, welcome our new feminist overlords.
Jose Hall
No mention of the absolutely BLATANT use of Zatoichi in the new Star Wars Rogue One movie??
That's where my rage is entirely focused.
Samuel Kelly
>Literally better than all 3 prequels So was my last bowel movement, this means nothing.
James Wood
tell me someone else noticed this
Zachary Hughes
Right, but having a glance at a hologram or showing it being built isn't the same as repeating the plot device, like VI and VII did
Do you not understand why people complain about having a second/third/whatever Death Star ? It's because the movie ends up following the same fucking plot, in neither 2 or 3 was that the case.
Bentley Reed
>Git some! Git some! Git some, yeah, yeah, yeah! Anyone who runs, is a stormtrooper. Anyone who stands still, is a well-disciplined stormtrooper! You guys oughta do a movie about me sometime!

And the RACIST use of an Asian actor to portray the character. WTF were they thinking????
Matthew Garcia
holy shit, this

Nathaniel Murphy

There's no context to that beach scene though. Do you want them to spoil the whole movie?
Ryder Wright
>white commander >several white commandos Literally no white males eh?
Samuel Russell
I think the worst thing is they shoehorn a women into a male role, giving her male "testosterone" characteristics, competitiveness, aggression, death-defiance, etc. It's why Daisy seems like, at best, a masculine tomboy during TFA, she fucking has a warface on half the film.
Build a woman character worth her salt, if she's a badass she best be storied cut out to be that.
Liam Perry
>no racism
There's literally racism where the Empire discriminates against other races.
Julian Brooks
I hate this too. Why not make a woman a woman and have her experience battles a bit differently from a man? It's really tired to see the same stereotypical female in a male role. Make it a female in a female role.
Hudson James
this
the prequels were fun to watch because every scene was like a painting. Sure, the main subject of the painting is fun to watch but you could get lost in every frame with all the imagination he puts into the movie. >rebreather devices for jedi >bottomless pits >water planet >slum that looks fun and not iraqi
Sure, the dialogue was shit but it was fun to watch. The surest way to tell that TFA sucked is that you could largely remake it as a movie about the US military.
Logan Lopez
It's just because it's more marketable, it's not an artistic decision, it's a financial semi-political decision
Numales and teenage girls lap that shit up. Convincing women to go to the cinema is their primary goal.
There are more singles than ever before, so it's no longer the case that girls go to the cinema with their boyfriends as often
Aiden Edwards
He said white male, not white people. Yes there is a white female lead. There was also a white female commander. But as I pointed out earlier, the only white male who speaks in the trailer talks about shackling people. The rest of the males are non-white, until you get to the evil white nazi empire. Literally every white man is an oppressor. I don't know how much guilt I have left
Charles Harris
Because the movie is written by men who don't know what it's like to be a woman.
They may think they're fighting the patriarchy, but they're actually just going along with it.
Look at lesbian couples for example, there's usually a girly girl one and then there's the one that has a buzz cut, dresses like a guy, talks like a guy, behaves like a guy, basically a dude with a vagina.
Jason Lewis
>Hey, let's just copy paste a few scenes from Apocalypse Now! People thought Man of Steel was deep when it did that too!
Camera work isn't good because it's iconic. It becomes iconic because it is good. Any halfway decent shot out of Force Awakens could be tied to another movie from where it's lifted. It did nothing. The most original concept in the movie was changing C-3PO's arm to Red, and even that will probably end in something retarded like Kylo cutting his hand off near the ending of Episode IX, only to see it's flesh and blood inside and reflecting on "something" because god only knows what the point of that scene was in Return of the Jedi, right? We just need to copy it and give it a different spin with 0 depth. That'll work!
Jacob Reyes
>races You mean species?
Isaac Perez
Anyone not like lead? She's emotionless as fuck, and not in a good way
Justin Clark
There was a white male commander you dope. Mon Mothma was another commander. Also several white male commandos
Lincoln Allen
You're a whore.
Cameron Russell
Meh. After TFA my expectations are so low, I might actually like it, but I can't be arsed to give a shit right now.
I kinda wished for a more nuanced look at the civil war, but it seems we're sticking to the rebels good - empire bad.
Dylan Nguyen
At least the got rid of the IRebel line. Too bad for Donnie Yen.
John Gonzalez
Not to mention we went from a literal Mary Sue character to a laughable "bad girl"
Like seriously does anyone really buy this shit that the lead is a criminal? She acts more like a bitchy high school teacher whose life went nowhere
Andrew Allen
>"there is a 96.6% chance of failure"

Jose Jackson
Where. I saw mexicans and middle eastern people. Perhaps you are confusing them
Lucas Fisher
>The death star (or some version of it) has been in Episodes II, III, IV, V, VI >Episode V Maybe it was too long since I watched them, but I'm fairly certain Episode V has no mention of the Death Star aside from the opening crawl. Is that what you meant OP, or am I forgetting something obvious?
