someone post that crude mspaint drawing of them kissing where she has a concave face. I thought I saved it but apparently not.

Yes, yes, well done, well done, now kiss

imagine how fugly their kids would be

It would have been racist to do so. Remove a subplot where an Asian and Black go and save the day? You'd have to be an alt right Nazi to suggest that.

That is one ugly woman.

me on the middle-left

They sacrificed Rey/Finn chemistry for that fucking gook.

Is Johnson happy now that he got his Kyle Ron/Rey thing going ?

did she even do anything?

Why didn't Maz tell them that mexican brad pitt was not to be trusted? It sounded like she knew him well enough.

>Rey/Finn chemistry

>It sounded like she knew him well enough.
She didn't know him at all. He was a completely random guy that just happened to be in their cell and just happened to have exactly the skills they were looking for.

Because they we're going for the flower guy dummy

> Still hated that Maz scene tho

Noone did with the kanji club either

Me, personally, applaud Disney for being brave and progressive. A BM/WM relationship would be quite predictable in this day and age. A BM/AW relationship is quite bold, and breaks new ground in modern science fiction cinema. The only reason you wouldn't like this outcome would be if you just prefer simple movies, I think.

American/10

Now that's what I call good writing

Thanks, I didn't pay attention to realize it was the wrong guy

The force and shit

I haven't watch FA since 2015 but they really didn't have any chemistry, both characters are shallow and uninteresting.

So this subplot has the dumbest line ever. It was when Finn said something like "this was worth it" because they had released the alien horses and fucked up the casino. Note that at this point they think are about to die, meaning they failed to save their friends, and the Resistance is going to be crushed and under the complete control of the New Order. But hey, they mildly inconvenienced some rich assholes that 45 minutes ago Finn didn't even know existed, so that was worth it.

But then somehow, it is followed by an even worse lie, when Rose frees the alien horse they were riding and then says "NOW it was worth it." I mean congratulations, you saved one animal from cruelty. I mean maybe saved, assuming it doesn't just get tracked down and caught the next day or dies horribly on this foreign planet by some predator it has no defenses against, but I'm sure your sister would be glad knowing she died to see an alien horse (and not even the fucking slave children that were taking care of it) got loose.

don't believe the Reylo shit.She was always thinking of Finn, especially in the elevator.
She will kill Ren and will train Finn to be a Jedi.

That person probably got fired for not embracing diversity

This picture alone annoys me enough to not see the movie at all.

>Rey/Finn chemistry
Even JJ admitted it didn't work

Why do none of the aliens in the background look like star wars?

citation needed Reylo faggot

how come rose and finn can fly those things at the end despite clearly mentioning they arent pilots?

and they change that>>and everyone one see what happening with the box office and the mouth to mouth

>The only way to be rich in Star Wars is to be an arms dealer and there's so many of them there's an entire casino full of them
How is that even possible? I mean they're selling to both some sides, but come on, the Resistance has like 3 ships and a dozen X-Wings. The First Order is bigger, but what, did they buy each Star Destroyer from a different person? And wasn't the First Order supposed to have grown in secret? But somehow the arms dealer casino planet is galaxy famous? Did no one wonder who exactly they were selling weapons to?

What exactly did they save?

imagine if they a Finn shirtless scene instead of Kylo

This thing.

Why didn't any of the rich people care that like 24 hours ago the capital of the universe got blown up? This is like setting a film in Las Vegas a day after Washington DC got nuked and seeing everyone carefree.

It would have worked if they flipped the script.

>Finn sees her as a friend, has a bond from Jakkuu.
>Rey makes the first move.
>Finn's shocked pushes her back and us like "What are you doing?"
>She just looks back at him crestfallen.
>He realizes he does have romantic feelings for her
>Moves into kiss her

Coruscant was never blow up...?

>Casino scene
>No Lando

How is this forgiveable?

They changed the capital to a new planet in TFA, and it got destroyed.

duh, its because rich people are soulless demons that only exist to haunt the poor

It's weird that they saved the animals, but left behind the army of humanoid slave children who were caring for them. Also, wrecking the casino isn't going to do anything because wealthy people tend to have insurance. All they did was make things worse for the slaves, who are going to have an extra mess to clean up and probably get extra beating because all of this happened.

but for what purpose, how does rey and finn getting together advance any part of the story at all

because everyone behind the camera that isn't the white male cuck director is a feminist, trans, black, muslim, jew, or white woman. That is the creative force behind these movies.

It doesn't. I'm just pointing out that they could've made it work

Not even the most talented of HW scribes can make that shit work.

imagine if in a movie with nothing but wasted story threads that dead end nowhere they crammed in a love plot that went nowhere and just ate up time

I loved Rey and Finn in TFA....but that shit can't work romantically.

I simply can't see them going thru the emotions and drama Ren and Rey went thru in the throne room.

They would have to butcher one of them, or both.

I liked the idea of Finn when he showed up (a Storm Trooper who isn't a generic, disposable villain), but then they did absolutely nothing with his character. Now he's a generic, disposable sidekick.

This 100%

I liked the scene, what's wrong with it?

>how did no one during production point out that the entire pod racing sequence was a terrible, terrible idea?
>How did no one during production point out that the entire Ewok sequence was a terrible, terrible idea?

These things happen.

That kiss was literally rape on her part by the way. If I had a disgusting fat cunt do that to me, I'd contact every authority available to me.

Fuck I just wanted them to be friends. But they don't even interact in TLJ.

Han and Luke do fuck all together in Empire but the few times they were in the same room you got the feeling they were buds.

What's this new meme about people suddenly hating the pod race? If you didn't like the pod race scene you are not the target demographic of Star Wars.

Reminds me of the guy from Despicable Me

I think it could have worked between Ray and Finn if they hadn't turned him into a fuckup comedic relief character and played his earnest side up a bit more.

>If you didn't like the pod race scene you are not a retard

I can live with that.

It was a metaphor about how rich people are the real villains

it probably went over your head

Reminder that animals kept in captivity means that they're actually better preserved than if they were in the wild, same shit with safaris. If you can make profit off the continued existence of a species then it'll stick around longer. Simply freeing captive animals makes no sense.

Maybe the space horses were an invasive species or maybe they bred like rabbits, did she know how it would effect the ecology of the planet if she let them go? Who was she to decide where they needed to go?

And what's wrong with horse races? The fact that whipping a horse was held up as being on par with an authoritarian galaxy-wide dictatorship is just so fucking stupid it defies all belief.

it could've been good if Finn and Chinn weren't in it, the alien horses escaping was more entertaining than the rest of the movie combined

FUCK CAPITALISTS FUCK WHITE MALES

Easy on the symbolism Melville I need this explained to me even more clearly.

So if this previously unseen global space capitalism was the main problem, in that they essentially pulled the strings of both the first order and the rebellion, why was the attention not turned to them instead of focussing on their nazi proxy?

The movie is pretty clear about how everything is grey though, it's not like it's teaching a moral lesson. It shows that these 2 are the typical dumb wannabe progressives that get btfo'd when Benicio shows Finn that the same people who sold weapons to the Empire sold weapons to the Rebels. Same thing when in the end no one shows up to help the Resistance, either because they don't care or because the First Order isn't objectively bad.

>hey guys is there a way to hyperdrive ram the economy?

I'm more concerned that whipping a horse made them more mad than enslaved children.

Bullshit. JJ is s shit writer. Any dumbass could have made their relationship work, didn't have to be romantic or anything.

They are probably meant to represent how that's the way people actually think in real life. Not sure if the movie is actually trying to push this as being right or not. Doesn't the conversation with the hacker guy try to show that Finn and Rose are too naive about everything?

Same, lol, fuck it sorry I'm 33 in too old for this shit I like my shit white OR black all this mixed race political shit can fuck off,ill spend my money on something more to my speed. Thanks.

This?

Because people in the SWU care a lot more about their home planets and civilizations, and don't identify with the Republic all that much.

Imagine being Egyptian and the UN gets blown up. You might think that's bad news for geopolitics but you aren't going to cancel your daily trip to the tea shop.

Aren't they just gonna catch the animals again?
I mean they didn't even take them to a different part of the planet, they just rand into the forest near the casino.

people were still gambling and watching live shows during and after the las vegas shooter happened.

It was like some bullshit out of a Doctor Who episode.

you truly think that the people who have whole "yee fuck rich people" world view would have such a complex and realistic approach towards the consequences of their actions?

reminder: jj abrams is literally a 50 year old manlet who looks like hes is 31

jesus fucking christ my sides

did they not realize they were going to capture those horse things again and beat those children senseless after they left

Bit rich coming from fucking Disney

Clearly not. Why should every character be perfectly coherent and intelligent, anyway?

I love that thing's hands, they look like Vader's gloves

>Get told the hacking job is super impossible, there's only a single guy in the galaxy who can do it
>Just happen to run into another guy who can also do it

Why was that even necessary? Del Toro could have just been the guy they were looking for. Just say they couldn't find him on the casino floor, get caught by the cops and thrown in jail, he starts saying some drunk things, they look at him and notice his pin, bam.

Or that he lost his pin in a bet, which is why the guy on the casino floor had it.

He acts like a 12 year old with ADHD
youtube.com/watch?v=vpjVgF5JDq8

I mean this honestly user, thankyou, you just made 45 mins of this movie watchable again

It isn’t

Wait... you mean Del Toro was not THE guy?

Christ almighty how did you manage to come up with something this terrible

someone should add the explosion she chose not to stop that doomed their friends in the background (until Deus Ex Luke)

I just realized Del Toro's character was not the master codebreaker. What the fuck, I guess I'm too dumb for Star Wars. I thought the guy with the flower was just meant to be some random guy who coincidentally had a similar flower.

I still don’t understand why it had to shoot and blow up fucking 4 planets at once. It’s just juvenile dick waving; “my Superweapon is bigger and badder because it can blow up multiple planets at once!”

The fucking stupidity of star killer base is one of the biggest things that ruins TFA for me

Tbh though the Casino sequence was significantly worse than both of those. Ewoks really weren't that bad. Pod Race was terrible due to its execution. Casino subplot was inherently retarded.

Are you implying finn isn't ugly?

Finn isn't force sensitive you cuck boi. Also rey clearly does have a thing for Kylo otherwise she wouldn't have tried to save him.

We can only go by what was shown, otherwise we can make up all kinds of offscreen shit to rationalize what was happening. Plot says "find pin guy". Then they find pin guy, but get arrested and chance upon some shady fuck who sells them out at the first opportunity. Nothing implied that he lost his pin to casino pin guy. If the shady bum hacker was the actual pin guy they were looking for, then Maz did a really shitty job giving them a heads up about his character.

Rey and Finn are boring. The only mildly interesting character is Kylo.

>heralded as the next Stephen Spielberg
>has only made 5 movies and all except one were franchise films that were started by other people
>is already in his 50s

How can someone given so much be such an underachiever?

its almost like the talentless hacks in Hollywood would rather suck each other off then figure out how to actually do good work

90% of people declaring someone the next anything generally have no fucking clue what makes those people succesful in the first place

Apparently those planets were the capital planets of the new republic. I heard there was footage that set up the political situation with the republic, explaining why there's a "resistance" fleet to begin with, but JJ in his infinite wisdom cut out those scenes. Remember that woman and alien guy on a balcony that stared in horror as the hyperbeam was approaching their planet in TFA? Those were supposed to be Leia's aide and the chancellor of the republic.

You are right.
Also I think the visual dictionary book confirms the master codebreaker is the fancy guy with the pin, not Benicio, just in case.

if those to ugly people become a couple that would make this trilogy a little bit less terrible
