Was looking at a youtube video and someone in the video had this opinion on Star Wars: The Force Awakens composition. . .

"I feel like this film's composition is lazy but pleasurable in the way where your girlfriend's like, "Hey...what If we stay in and drink wine and ****. . ." and you respond with, "Well yea that's cool..."

That's really spot on. :lol:

In contrast TLJ was slightly more pleasurable and exciting for me.

I think they should have had a tv show to fill in the gaps like they did for the prequels, probably would be more middle ground.

Clone wars > prequels.

Thought I saw somewhere it’s going to revolve around bounty hunters and gangsters...Like Jabba’s palace type stuff...

They have a few novels out, If that's your thing...

A live action Star Wars show for Disney's streaming service is in development... No idea what it will be...

the only thing that really bothered me about the last two installments is that finn and rey can pickup a lightsaber and go toe to toe with someone as powerful and trained as kylo ren?

Yeah the power is def inconsistent. Kylo defeats the greatest Jedi in his prime and others in his youth but loses to Rey in what should be his prime?

There is no emotional investment in this new trilogy. Least the prequels you felt for anakin and shmi when they were split up or when he saw his mom die in his arms or trying to save his wife from dying in child birth. Why should i be invested in Rey? Cause her junk parents left her on a planet that we saw in a minute flashback? She has had no trouble these two movies and everything has come easy. Or Finn or even Poe. Poe had at least the biggest change in the movie

I rewatched the final lightsaber fight of The Phantom Menace. Darth Maul was LIT. He was even better when ObiWan broke his saber.

Too arrogant for his own good though.

Rey is one with the force and Finn was a trained stormtrooper? Idk. Just a thought that bounced into my head. Finn caught a mean fade tho, he didn't exactly hold his own. And Kylo got shot in the stomach

Kylo's spirit was still torn from killing Han, which is what Snoke spoke of in the beginning of TLJ. Plus he just got shot by Chewie with the bowcaster. The same bowcaster that was literally launching people off their feet.

Someone mentioned before but I loved Poe's fighter scene at the beginning. A lot of people have claimed the best pilot in the universe title but we never really get the full effect (prequel/clone wars we're cool). This was good.

jaypesoz · Dec 20, 2017

One thing I do have a question about. Luke gets mad that Rey “went straight to the dark-side” because it had answers she wants. How was she supposed to know that was the path to the dark side of no one’s ever taught her yet?

Didn’t she go to the place anyway and didn’t still didn’t get any answers she was looking for. So Luke getting upset was was useless, right?

Had issues with most other characters, but Poe was done really well. Had a passion, drive and dedication to his cause. Not bad.

Mark Antony · Dec 20, 2017

Yeah he was good, seemed like more of a Saw type rebel. His decisions did cause a lot of death though.

I think he was mad/shocked that she did it so quickly/ soon/ easily.

Maybe even kylo didn't even do it so soon in his training

Thought he was mad because she went to it with no hesitation like "What it has answers? *runs towards*" She didn't fight temptation at all in that scene

Surreal reminder about a fictional character incoming: Kylo ******* Ren is at least 31 years old.

Saw this quote on reddit lol

"If the old Star Wars' were vanilla and chocolate ice cream, this one is cookies and cream; it's new, and some people don't like hard stuff in their ice cream."

Sounds like something a **** would say.

What makes us invested in Luke in ANH? He doesn't want to farm anymore? Saying the new trilogy doesn't get you invested is, again, a preference thing.
Acting is a big part of it, if you didn't care about Rey living on her own for YEARS in Jakku. Daisy can out act anyone on earth, she's a talented actor.

I feel like some people didn't really follow Star Wars. Emphasis on "some".

Kinda seeing a pattern here. People hating on TLJ seem to just dislike the choices the characters made, that it doesn't align with their vision or their fan theory.
Finn is a great lead character and John plays him really well.

I'll be honest this is getting exhausting. I'm just gonna buy my tickets to watch it the third time and I'll just enjoy every second of the film. Good night fam.
