We have our third video in the series which means this is a full on thing now, woohoo. I shall be working on making a Force Awakens series next and so, get your hype levels, efficiently raised, or something I dunno.
Joshua Benton I have no idea what’s wrong with Ryan, he’s making just faking simple mistakes film-maker students alone would make: -He completely scraped Jar Jar’s drafts on episodes 8-9, ‘probably explains the shagged potentials MauLer alluded to with all his “ ‘Can’t wait to get more on that” moments -He replaced Jar Jar, like we needed that change and like no-one thought it’d create a consistency problem through that trilogy; they already think it’d get bad press for the “evil white males” and the old fans, so why not keep it careful and keep the same vision from the same guy and make Ryan do a spin-off
It's so ironic that they start the film with that guy saying, "This will begin to make things right" as a huge middle finger to Lucas and the prequels. But in the end, these movies just made everyone love Lucas and the prequels even more.
....and his beloved wife Mara Jade Skywalker enters, teasing him a funny nerfherder for falling asleep in the meditation chamber again. (If that was the ending of Episode X, it would get a global standing O.)
I would’ve bought 3 tickets to the movie if it was a top tier adaptation of the Jedi Knight games, Kyle as the Main Man he always deserved to be. Any of Disney’s sins would’ve been forgiven...We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS close!
The originals were an awesome story with awesome delivery. The prequels were an awesome story with questionable delivery. The sequels were a death stick-fuelled nightmare
@Lionel Hutz the originals really aren't at a questionable stage. It's perfectly fine to put it at, we don't exist in their universe so we see a part of what's happening there, where would you want to start when it was the very beginning for star wars in the first place? It was set up really well to make sure it was as interesting as possible
The way George Lucas writes dialogue makes for terrible romantic writing, but other than that my only issue with the prequels is that they skipped the clone wars. Thank god for Dave Filoni.
I never noticed that Leia walked right by Chewbacca, to hug Rey. How ridiculous. She has literally known Chewy for like 40 years. He was her husbands best friend. One of her brothers best friends, and he was key figure in helping to save the galaxy and destroy the empire with her.
Maybe it wasnt the same Chewy, maybe it was Chewy's son that little runt from the holiday special all grown up. Which would explain why he still looked young in TFA. But.....then again, even if it was Chewy's son, Leia should still treat him like family, aaahh f*** it! What an absolute dumpster fire Disney SW is. There's no saving it, what so ever. The prequels really do look good by comparison, holy sh!t.
I guess one could try to justify it with the fact that, as Force Sensitives, Leia and Rey felt Han's death on a different level than everyone else... But Leia still should have gotten a hug from Chewbacca. That was stupid.
Jimb0 There’s stuff that could of been explained through correct character dialogue in TLJ. Unfortunately that never happens because RJ made the film purposely to prank the fan base while insulting said fan base all over Twitter. He’s a Bafoon
Jimb0 it’s definitely rian, JJ already had a script that prob would’ve had this, and when Rian took over, he literally TRASHED the script and used NOTHING from it. Rian made a Star Wars movie, that ISN’T a STAR WARS MOVIE, you get what im saying. Rian ruined it for me. For the exact reason why I DESPISE the last Jedi watch the critical drinker’s video the last Jedi, and the assassination of Luke Skywalker, it depicts exactly why it sucks.
Jimb0- it is hard to even imagine we are where we are now with this fucking story. If they would have had A PLAN for the films from the jump, and had all the OG characters all together at least one fucking time, with a better story, it would have been so much better. The Ruse of Soywalker was literally ridiculous.
What pisses me off how she somehow knows more about a ship she just started flying than the man who's been flying it for years, a man who has done repairs and even made additions over time. I am not going to believe Rey knows more about the Falcon than Han motherfucking Solo
This is explained in the movie actually. HAN: Hey! Some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line! REY: Unkar Plutt did. I thought it was a mistake too, puts too much stress on the hyperdrive. And during the escape, right before she removes the compressor. REY: Unkar Plutt installed a fuel pump too -- if we don't prime that we're not going anywhere. HAN: I hate that guy. Han lost the Millennium Falcon years ago and didn't know about the modifications Unkar made with the help of Rey. It's one thing the movie does do right when it comes to Rey. It's just a few throw-away lines but it's enough.
@@awandererfromys1680 She shouldn't know that something puts too much stress on the hyper drive. She has never flown a ship. She should think whatever the ship is doing is exactly what it's supposed to do, she shouldn't have any idea or recognition about the previous performance of the ship before the compressor was used.
@@pascalsimioli6777 REY: I've flown some ships but I've never left the planet! Onscreen dialogue shortly after taking the Millennium Falcon. Onscreen dialogue also establishes she's not just a scavenger. She's a mechanic. And I expect any mechanic to know where a part does or does not belong. That's _mechanics._ Hate on Rey all you want but this particular bit of her character is no different from Luke knowing how to pilot an X-Wing and engage in fullblown battle while he had never left the planet before either. All he knew was bullseyeing womprats from his T-16. Or Anakin building his own protocol droid from scrap. It seems that Force-sensitivity gives SW main characters a particular secondary skill set.
@@awandererfromys1680 nonsensical point. She is never established to be a mechanic, just a scavenger. She scavenges old parts from a star destroyer which is completely different than a ship. Shits like comparing a semi to a bike. Fundamentally similar but not similar. I know this bc I actually work on cars but hey. U know mechanics right. Also complete straw man, they argued it’s stupid that she knows more about it than it’s owner/ expert of it. Just nonsensical
@SounDrazzRiton-kv7vg only real fans who have an understanding of how the characters they grew to love over the years, and an understanding of how they may react to certain hypothetical situations. Go away tourist.
Would have been a much better scene if the MF just at that moment decided to flame out and crash. Then Han could do the flippy switch thing and save them, then give Rey his Han Solo smirk. Much better consistency with the character of Han.
Dude, trigger warning. Being reminded of that scene literally triggers me. It's even worse than the avengers scene where the woman operating on Vision shows off how much smarter she is than Stark and Banon. The cringe was too much for me.
I was genuinely disappointed once I saw Kylo take his mask off when I first watched this movie. I was like oh this guy looks pretty cool and then he reveals his face and its like he looks like my roommate from college.
I figured that was why he wore the mask; No one would be intimidated by a handsome, young prettyboy, so he put the mask on to be taken seriously by both his enemies and subordinates. Which is why it was weird when he tossed the mask in TLJ.
I honestly liked Kylo's look. Not every evil character has to look intimidating, to be honest having one not look the part can add a ton of depth to a character. They just didn't fucking do his character right.
I liked that he took off his mask because he was definitely trying to find purpose living in Vader's shadow, and all that mask did was remind me he was a dollar store Vader with it. It was easier to take him seriously without it. That said, both TFA and TLJ had self-awareness about this shortcoming of his, which is one of the few things I liked about those films. Now, if we're talking about his teenage tantrums...I really wish I could unsee that first cringy scene.
Queen Bitch KaNoMiko no. Could’ve been a good explanation, that or a melee weapon (maybe Han Solo would’ve picked up on that after seeing Luke using it with such benefits), but no.
you missed how the trooper who wiped his blood on finn's helmet was shot down by poe therefor finn was so shocked by the brutality of war, he freed the guy who killed his friend,
Imagine after episode 9 comes out we'll be saying, "Maybe Rian Johnson's new trilogy will explain that?" If I see any reviewer say that I'm officially done lmao.
Considering he has no problems shooting at his former comrades barely a couple hours later, I don't think Finn was really all that traumatized by his fellow trooper dying in his arms, or by the horrors of war. Really, he didn't give a damn about any of them. He just realized he could die from being stuck in this crowd, and decided to desert. Finn's a psychopath, nothing more, nothing less.
It could have worked if Finn struggled with guilt later on and found out somehow through captain phasma that Poe killed his friend or something, it could have made things more intense. I wanted Finn to be a Han Solo type, not like Poe, just a lone wolf that deserts and goes back and forth between sides because he doesn't really know who he is anyways.
@@Chugargonfan Ew, no. She's is just bland. And she's got this, like, thick sheen/glaze of sweat all over her face, in every scene, all the time. She's a desert-bound hermit, but her skin is gross, white and pasty? Like how does _that_ even work...they could have given her a few sessions at the tanning salon before shooting, and that certainly would have helped...but whatever
Wow. Mary Sue characters never fail. In what attempt did Rey fail? None of them. Luke actually struggles. First of all, you are braindead. Rey has never flown one either, and she aces it the first time with besting TRAINED FO tie pilots. It is implied Luke can fly, as his friend says he is sure Luke can handle an X-wing. Very hard to get. For a non force user. Again, Luke said he made shots like this on his home planet. What did you say in your last couple of sentences? Do you know english? If you argue for Rey, you should have wrote: but unlike Luke, Rey blah blah blah.
Calm down buddy. What details have they included which shows how she is so fucking good? Tell me please, you just say they included them, but do not provide me with them. Show me, you clever man. Luke can fly an X-wing because it's similar to the T-16 which he has flown. Even YOU, you idiot could fire with a laser gun (if that was real). Luke fires it multiple times, and he misses a couple of times. Oh, you missed that detail also, at least now I know that you are also not a Mary Sue/Gary Stue either.
16:26 "Stop you ridiculous talented yet boring angelic creature. Your characteristics are as bland as your fucking clothing" I don't know why but I love that line.
I always hated Finn from the get go. How is it that his whole reason for defecting was his panic attack after seeing his comrade die in his arm, then 10 minutes later gleefully destroys the hangar full of other people he was conscripted with at such a young age? He's a terrible character.
And that also begs the question: If he's so weak-willed how was he able to break the storm trooper indoctrination in the first place? More bad writing from this joke of a trilogy.
He was always awful, but charisma is a very effective weapon so to speak. That character fooled many people, including me. In the sequel, hell, no amount of charisma can disguise that HORRIBLE character arc.
The “Can’t wait to get more on that” line makes me chuckle every time it’s used. Years later and it’s still hilariously disappointing to see what potential Disney had but how horribly they botched these characters, storylines and themes.
Rey's character feels like when you have a jealous new friend that starts inserting themselves into you and your friends' inside jokes and demanding that treasured old photos be recreated with them in the middle.
That is an absolutely brilliant description! This type of “friend’s“ next move will be to start hanging out with your friends and deliberately excluding you pretending it was an oversight or they couldn’t get a hold of you.
That scene where leia walks past chewy to hug ray over han's death is the epitome of mary sue syndrome. A mary sue is inserted into an existing franchise and suddenly the world revolves around her and all the characters love her immediately for no reason. Both the villains and the good guys (which, incidentally does happen with her and kailo-ren too...)
LinkMarioSamus If she was male, she would be a Gary Stu. Get the fuck out of here with the sexist bullshit, there’s no androgynous label for a female self-insert character
Honestly, that is not saying much When an installment says, "Click here to find out what this could mean," it's clickbait. I can't think of any film or series that requires the viewing of other installments to make it "Good." The only series that even comes close to "it'll be explained in the next film" is the Bourne trilogy, and even then you don't need to watch the others to appreciate each individual film as a film. They only become better as a whole because of minor moments that no one will notice unless you really pay attention to what each character says and how they affect the protagonist. The Force Awakens was a heaving pile of rancid refuse and The Last Jedi only spat on it
Really good point. With Star Wars Episodes 1 to 6, they stand up on their own with backstory and mysteries that are paid off and make logical sense. Maintain continuity etc. They tell one grand story. TFA was not meant to be Episode 1. It was Episode 7. And it didn't continue from ROTJ or explain anything. And well, the rest is history with TLJ too. To think they ditched Lucas' treatments which apparently continued the story for this is unbelievable. And I concur with your point on Bourne. You understood each film alone, they link together and progress the story. They don't just keep rehashing things and leave a string of unanswered questions. The ST is all about style, without story and substance and a constant tease.
@@RacinZilla003 Endgame. There you go. A film that cannot stand on its own but when watched after viewing previous entries (not all of them, of course; I didn't even see Thor: The Dark World before watching Endgame and I still understood what was going on) will be extremely satisfying.
I love how the Millenium Falcon just sits there for years untouched in a camp where everything not nailed down is literally torn apart by filthy scavengers (like Rey) and sold as parts or something. Can't wait to hear more about that.
Wasn't it "owned"(stolen)by the guy that hands out the food. Don't bite the hand that feeds and all that.... Only thing i can think of as to why it wasn't ripped apart and sold.
This was quite outrageous moment, so a character with long history, a friend with whom she spend years is sidelined to hug a complete stranger to her.... Rey? Leia should have been simply overjoyed to see Chewie alive especially after sensing through the Force Han's death, she would have actual emotional connection to Chewie to both this moment would have been sharing the grief for death of best friend and husband!!! Dammit. Chewie himself would be comforting her in pain they had years of shared history for goodness sake. Leia should have asked, who is this girl upon seeing her!
@@fantasywind3923 fucking exactly! She could’ve talked to Chewie, mourned with him and then said “who’s this girl?” to Chewie and then we get some sort of relationship between Leia and Rey developed.
@@zorn1745 nice to see someone agreeing with me, that mess only confirms that rey is simply Mary Sue character, and as we know in all amateur fanfiction mary sues are instantly liked by everyone in their presence for some unfathomable reason, ughh this was infuriating, hell Leia hugged Chewie in original trilogy after escaping imperial chase in joy simply after knowing Chewie for short time it's simple emotional reaction, and it would have been even more justified after decades of shared history. Them ignoring each other after HAN SOLO'S DEATH makes even less sense.
In the Expanded Universe, Luke's hand and lightsaber were found by the Empire at Cloud City after his & Vader's duel. The Emperor ordered it taken to a private storage facility on a hidden planet and preserved for future use. Why Abrams etc couldn't have lifted that and said that the saber was stolen from an Imperial facility and traded hands in the black market until Maz Kanata got it or something I'll never understand.
instead of searching for the actual map, Kyle knew with his Force that Rey's _memory_ of the map was now the ultimate prize, as her perfect recollection and profound understanding of its details would be so incredibly accurate that it'd be, like, three TIMES as effective as the actual map itself.
Really? I don't find him menacing, and the character is terribly written, but he himself is not hilarious or ugly. Poor Adam have to deal with the consequences of what lousy writers did with his character
@@Boyzby Agreed. But that is the way they wanted to portray him I guess. Don't forget, he is a white, straight(or so looks like) man. Unforgivable sin nowadays
He just looks like a big crybaby, with no control for emotions. He annoys the shit out of me, i dislike the new movies Vader was a tyrant, but a lot of it was controlled.
I think it would be harder to push yourself while in outer space, dealing with the pressure, lack of oxygen and everything else would be harder than in a place WITH gravity.
I can still remember trying to talk my brother into coming with me to see TLJ with me. He said 'I thought you didn't like the last one?' To which I replied 'Come one! There's no way it could be worse than Force Awakens!' God I miss my innocence....
I must be in the minority, me and my friends actually liked TLJ more than TFA. At least it was _mostly_ trying to be its own thing and not plagiarize A New Hope all the time like TFA was.
I think TLJ is definitely worse than the Force Awakens. It failed on at least 3 separate levels, as a Star Wars movie (that takes place within the larger context of the Star Wars mythos), as a sequal to the Force Awakens (so within the context of the inferior, Disney Star Wars mythos) and as a standalone movie in itself (owing to its numerous plot holes, amateur writing, bad characterisation, terrible world-building etc.). For all the Force Awakens flaws, one could argue that since it's a launching pad for the new universe Disney are hoping to build, it sets the pace for the rest of the trilogy. It sets the rules/context for the rest of the trilogy, so it can't really fail on that level, whilst TLJ very much can and did.
I dunno, if TFA is a bad start to the sequel trilogy I don't think failing as a sequel to it is that bad a thing. Then again, I don't really get why it fails as a sequel, or why its quality as a standalone movie should matter when by definition it can't be one. I mean, I have my problems with TLJ but not for the reasons most people complain about, and despite the fact that I've thought too much about it, I still like it more than TFA. It actually interests me, while in retrospect TFA doesn't get anything more than a "meh" reaction. There are scenes I genuinely like in TLJ, while everything in TLA is basically a plagiarism of A New Hope, written by someone who didn't understand why the original Star Wars was good.
Rey flying a complicated space ship, she has never seen before, is like the reader sitting down in the cockpit of a transport category jet aircraft and flying it from Los Angeles to New York. All you have to do is chant "I can do this, I can do this" over and over.
C3P0 in episode 5 discover the problem of the Milenium Falcon before Solo. He's a pilot,not a mecanic. It isn't imposible to know more mecanic than him.
@@A.D.V.I. Yes but Han has been repairing the ship together with Chewie all the time (as seen in many scenes in Empire Strikes Back), it took some time to find the problem though and so C3PO communicating with the board computer allowed him to find that crucial malfunction, it still makes little sense especially after 30 years Han at this point would have the ship for many, many decades even longer than 30 years since original trilogy :), still this is just another callback to the original, the Force Awakens was already unimaginative reboot of the New Hope but without the soul of the original.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 she's actually dismantling stuff from a crashed imperial stardestroyer, she is a scavenger, scrapper (at best she would be familiar with imperial tech, since she is seen interacting with various non-functioning pieces of imperial military hardware) she would be most of the time salvaging raw valuable materials and some usable parts from wreckage.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 She wasn't fixing parts in that scene, she was cleaning the parts to make them more presentable for selling which is why she was using a brush. Fixing BB-8's antenna was something that did not even need any tech skill as it merely got bent, literally anyone that cared could fix it. Furthermore the Millennium Falcon is a Corellian YT-1300 Freighter that was heavily customized, it is not military tech. Rey in the movie was never shown or implied to know how to fly, and even responded when asked immediately afterwards with "I don't know!" This was a non-issue for Luke as he was established early on that he has been learning and practicing flying and wanted to get into the Academy to improve further, nor was it an issue for Han as it was implied (and even in Legends Han was ex-imperial navy) based on his smuggler background. After the movie they tried to patch things up by trying to say that Rey trained in a derelict Star Destroyer's simulator room, which would be sideways and it's a stretch that it could be powered to begin with with how destroyed those ships were.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 When it came to BB-8 she literally yanked the bent antenna out of its socket and bent it to be straight again before putting it back in. That is not tech savvy, that is something anyone, even children, can do. Her speeder also does not show any tech savvyness just by her owning it, nor are we ever shown her working on it. Its even implied by the force vision that she was left in Unkar Plutt's care or as a slave. The speeder could have very well belonged to him and it was out on loan to her. And the novels function is to attempt to fix the numerous problems with the character. It is where they literally had her download matrix style Kylo's training in the middle of him trying to (and failing horribly) torture her so that she could pull off the Jedi mind tricks needed to escape because Jj Abrams simply could not just wait for her to be rescued by Han and Finn.
I appreciate there’s a lot more going on here but thank you for pointing out that Rey shoots a storm trooper with a pistol when the trooper missed with a rifle. 24:30-24:40. Anyone who has shot a pistol quickly appreciates how much more difficult it is to hit something with a pistol at a specific range than with a rifle (though not saying easy with a rifle, just easier).
I love how this film is one long Rune Goldberg machine where if any unlikely situation didn’t work out it would have all fallen apart. I especially like that Finn and Poe crash a tie fighter within a days walk of the same town BB8 ended up at. It was also nice of whoever had the Falcon that he let it fixed up and fueled up with the keys in it.
The force awakens: Lets have a shield around the ENTIRE planet. Rise of sky walker: Lol nah, can't activate shields in atmosphere of a planet. This is all fucked
TheWet Baguette The Retconn of Skywalker tbh shouldn’t be taken seriously, let’s just piss on its corpse and grave if anyone bothers to dig it and abandon it
Not to mention that the entire first act of "The Empire Strikes Back" revolved around the Empire attacking a shielded target on the surface of a planet.
It's even worse considering BOTH of those films were directed by JJ. The man can't even keep track of his own continuity. I mean our expectations of you were low JJ, but holy shit.
@@jacksimpson8529 Wouldn't the "no shields below atmosphere" thing only apply to Exegol though, with the awful conditions and constant lightning? In The Rise of Skywalker itself, when they're being chased in the desert by stormtroopers, their speeders DO have shields. I can buy that JJ forgot what he did in the previous movie, but in the very same one an hour earlier? I'm not sure that's even possible. But then, the star destroyers at the end supposedly can't tell which way is up, and yet there's like a thousand of them in the sky and they all face the correct way, so maybe the writing is really that lazy and incompetent. Fuck this trilogy either way.
What kills me is that Storm trooper armor had environmental protection and yet Finn takes it off in the middle of the desert and this action almost kills him. Lucky he found the town nearby! Why did the sequels regress technologically over 30 years? Original Storm Troopers=Chad's! Lol
@@destroysgaming3995 In the ST defender's mind, this plot would be totally okay - "30 years after Harry Potter defeated the hated and feared Lord Voldemort...." - Harry Potter has gone missing. His friend Neville Longbottom has sent his best member of the Order of the Eagle to retrieve a map to his location from an old ally. Cho Chang has been taken hostage and a ransom has been demanded from Harry Potter, the legendary wizard who defeated the dark lord years ago. Only with his help can Neville and his brave Eagles defeat the evil Life Feeders..." Hermione Granger has turned into a drunk witch who never uses magic and doesn't want to. Harry Potter has received the Owl about Cho's situation, but doesn't want to help and wants to be left alone. A young Muggle who has never heard of magic, randomly stumbles upon the Owl trying to deliver the message of Harry's location to Neville. Having never been to Hogwarts, the young muggle finds the broom of Harry Potter, his Firebolt, in the back of an antique shop, just as he/she randomly encounters Hagrid who tells her "magic is all true." Hermione is now a smuggler who works with Hagrid smuggling illegal dragon and dangerous materials across the magical world. When Hagrid asks the antique shop owner how he came across the broom, the response is "That's a story for another time." The muggle, who has never been trained in magic, nor heard of it, then runs into a dark robed Life Eater called "Wuhaca". Wuhuca is known to have been a former Head Boy at Hogwarts, captain of the Quidditch Team for Grynfindor and one of Harry Potter's greatest Auror apprentices. He is even said to have been the son of legendary Minister for Magic Hermione Granger. Wuhaca offers the young muggle the chance to serve alongside him and his Master, Lord Incognita. The young muggle outflies Wuhaca and his own wand flies into the Muggle's hand. He is bested with a scar across his face and at the last moment a great chasm opens up in the middle of the London street on which they were duelling. The Cauldron of Doom meanwhile is launching its fire potion beam from the hidden village of New Hogsmeade, somewhere in the south of France. It destroys the Ministry for Magic in one fell swoop. In the ensuing chaos, only Neville's Eagles who amount to a mere 12 wizards and witches remain. They fly their brooms against an onslaught of 900 Life Eaters, but somehow one reckless Eagle manages to break through and fire a reversing spell on the Cauldron which implodes and takes out the entire Life Eater base and 80% of their followers. Lord Incognita tells the deputy Life Eater to bring Wuhaca back to him for further training and to continue to Crucify Cho Chang to draw out Harry Potter. Neville encounters the young Muggle and Hagrid and even Hermione who came out of hiding at the last moment. Neville hugs the Muggle ignoring Hermione and Hagrid. He then plugs in the hidden map of Harry's location into the Marauder's map which points to Harry being on Privet Drive. Hermione stays behind, as does Neville and Hagrid. The random Muggle now dons Harry's broom as her own and goes to Privet Drive where she finds a fat Harry sitting on his balcony. He/she asks Harry for his help to save Cho Chang and Harry Potter takes his broom, throws it into the rubbish bin across the street and tells her to get off his lawn. The credits roll and the movie, like The Force Awakens, is given thunderous applause
All well, this movie was a bit of a bummer. But guys, I am positive that The Last Jedi will be incredible! We have Rey's parentage to look forward to, we will find out who Snoke is, maybe we will find out more about Finn's life as a Stormtrooper, Rey will be trained and we can see what the limits of her power are, maybe she will turn to the dark side, and oh wow, Luke is back! Can't wait to see what they do with Luke, and why he went to that island, and how he reacts to the death of Han Solo, and how he affects the story! Who else is looking forward to RIAN JOHNSON's The Last Jedi? So much opportunity from TFA for Rian to work with! Yep. So much.
Eric Santucci You. I like you. You condensed down appologetics and blind fandom arguments for months down into a couple digestible paragraphs. These appologetics caused a pain of which I spent bottles of alcohol and Excedrin trying to contain the pain of the stupid flowing forth and invading my brain, like a made up force power in a certain movie... /slow clap
I actually like what he did with Snoke and Rey's parents, and I understand why he did what he did. Mostly because J.J. Abrams left him nothing to work with.
Even Luke Skywalker who spent his teenage years flying T-16s and doing all kinds of crazy shit ended up terribly average the first time he was put into a starfighter. He hit a lucky shot ("one in a million") but other than that he really didn't do much. Somehow, Rey is able to fly the Millenium Falcon which I can only assume is 100x harder to pilot than an X-Wing and she's doing stuff Han Solo (a great pilot) couldn't do. And worse, she "doesn't know" how she was able to do it. All the sequel movies were terrible. This was just the least terrible one.
Also the controls on the T-16 speeder are identical to those of the T-65 x-wing by design, so pilots can move from one to the other easily. Rey just pulls skills out of her ass. Superior piloting skills - pluck Speaks wookie - pluck Marksman with a blaster - pluck Incredible force skills - pluck Luke had to train and fight for all accomplishments
Star Wars 7: The worse Ripoff, bigger is better! Star Wars 8: You think you know Star Wars? Ha! Lol! Star Wars 9: Oh damn... P-please forget about 8 I-I can fix this! Uhm... GIANT LIGHTNING!!! EVEN BIGGER IS EVEN BETTER!!! PLEASE STAY! IT'S GOOD!
I don't know how Leia walking past Chewy isn't receiving the criticism it deserves. Honestly that is one of the most out of touch things if not THE most out of touch scene in the entire fucking sequel and perfectly illustrates a complete lack of understanding regarding who these characters are and what they are all about. I legit can't even really believe that scene. IT's fucking insane.
@@TheStapleGunKid which is explained, in the film when he says "I went back to doing the only thing I was ever good at" after the pain of losing his son to the Snoke. all through the original trilogy the hero thing was an uncomfortable jacket for him.
Still pretty dumb, though. When last we saw him he was a General leading the rebels to victory. Now he's back to smuggling? Come on, that would be like George Patton resigning his commission to go make a living as a petty shop-lifter.
back in early 2016, i had a friend of a friend legitimately try to convince me and others around him that episode 7 was an homage, NOT a remake/reboot, of episode 4. my response to him: "dude, the entire freaking movie?"
Finn was such a wasted character. He was raised to fight, err he was raised to clean and maintain the facilities. They almost started off with him turning against violence, and it would have been an interesting if the character was struggling with trying to remain a pacifist/ peaceful later on. But literally minutes later, he was screaming "boo yeah" as he murders the men he grew up and lived along side with.
@@Daredhnu Right? But we don't need to question the ethics or motivations of the characters if they don't make sense, just stuff popcorn into your face while enjoying a 5 dollar fountain drink.
Caboose things come down to if what a man does matters to himself. Are his dignity and beliefs for sale. At the end of the day you can say Disney Star Wars can't have me. Not my time and money cocksuckers!
Heuch Gack and she had to survive on a desert planet so she can totally beat a sith trained by both Luke skywalker and a totally important character who will have a Huge impact in the trilogy.........also she can swim
Z Ten oh yeah she can swim like a fucking champ even though it was the first time she ever tried......but she’s not a Mary Sue though though that’s ridiculous
Nope, I can't buy it. Not after we've seen that the wound doesn't really impact him much in his fight against Finn. Oh, also, did we mentioned that Ben was trained by two masters, one a Jedi master the other a Sith, I guess.
I was a 12R Interior Electrician in the Army, I was the one that stayed behind alot and did tasks along the lines of my skill and typical duties like cleaning and loading magazines and such. But sometimes I would be tasked to travel with the commanding officers on special tasks because of trust. I never had any issues similar to Finn. But if my officers decided to go rob a McDonalds bet I wouldn't be a part of that.
@@KAXGaming hahahaha I want that to be a news story now "military officer robs McDonald's with full support team" just a tactical robbery of a McDonald's
The worst part about this is that this isn't the first time JJ repeated a previous film. Into Darkness was just the Wrath of Khan with some minor changes, yet people turned a blind eye. He's done the same thing here yet I've never seen anyone reference it
Phasma was serious wasted potential. Makes me sad. You have before you Gwendolyn Christie, the very same actress as Brienne of Tarth. Who is one of the most moving female characters of this decade. And you squander that for a trash compactor reference. Disgraceful.
I can relate to a soldier following a regime's command... well, not relate, but I can put myself in her shoes. The dumb thing about that statement is that you can only ever relate to someone due to their actions and their character. That's all there is. Phasma is just such a non-entity that there is no way you can even define who she is. She is barely more than an extra. So she had to come up with something to say in that interview and went with the equivalent statement of "the sky is blue". A complete filler statement to mask that there is absolutely nothing going on with that character.
Arphemius I wouldn’t have wanted to relate to Phasma, personally. I think she should have been a more classic Disney villain, an imposing threat to all the characters. She can still be given human depth in other ways, such as giving her motivations and ambitions. But making her *relatable* to casual audiences runs a high risk of defanging her.
I think making Captain Phasma a resistance sympathizer/supporter would clear up some problems with Finn. She would try to look like a staunch First Order stormtrooper captain but do anything in closed doors that would help the resistance or hurt the First Order, such as lowering the shield when threatened, sabotaging the First Order’s scanners, or turning a blind eye to a soldier who is having second thoughts. Would’ve been pretty amazing to see them corner Phasma only for her to turn it around and say she’s been waiting for them to help her destroy the planet or something lol!
Imagine that scene with the shield. Phasma removes her helmet and tells Finn that she has been modifying his brainwashing so it would not stick when it came to actual violence, as he is special, force sensitive that she removed from his records, and that he has to go and help save the galaxy, as she can’t leave, and could help from the inside.
Personally prefer Padme and Paige Tico. I really can't believe the ST went down this disjointed illogical storyline which makes no sense without any backstory and poor new characters etc. I couldn't stop laughing at "Because she's Rey." Never gets old since it's true. And not to mention the "Can't wait to get more on that!"
@@UnfunnyFigs the prequels dialogues are a gold mine of memes! I don't care if they're a little cringe, they are so over the top and memorable that almost every phrase is a meme by now
prequels writing was great and dialogue was good except Anakin when he is with Padme. Hes unbearably cringy. Like 12 year old seeing female for the first time. Other than that, its fucking obliterating sequels.
Or she could: - just not do it because she is in high-command for a fanatical organization! - instead of deactivating the shields, idk, ALARMING THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET! - kill them all because there is literally no reason given why she couldn’t as she is still inside the most advanced armor the first order has
Chan Thorpe I think I saw a couple of other videos and in the comics of force awakens it shows finn and his squad mates seem to be less intense but yeah I do remember them being trained to ignore the dying
Never watched any of the sequels, but from videos such as this I think it would have been better if Finn and Poe were the main characters. They seem like a good Duo.
"Episode 9 will be directed by the same guy, so everything will make sense then, you'll see!" Yes, because Abrams has a great trackrecord when it comes to providing satisfying answers and wraping up stories. Endings are his forte. You didn't use the Sue label once and still got your point about Rey across. I love you, man.
You left the part that he insulted the 80% of the Star Wars Fandom,, along side Kathleen Kennedy and Simon Pegg, Prequels Fans, Expanded Universe fans, Games fans, by calling them unworthy of being Star Wars fans because they weren't Original Star Wars fans. After that news was spread is was only a matter of time that the resentment against Disney and Kathleen Kennedy grow. Why you think that most Star Wars fans (discounting the Original Star Wars fans) are divorcing themselves for the movies, because all what Disney cares about is pander towards the Original Star Wars fans, everyone else is excluded of their special club.
In the empire strikes back what does leia do when han gets dropped into the carbonite? She hugs the wookie, the second she looses han she goes to the wookie, why would she ignore the damn walking carpet this time?
Bryon Lape Leia hugged Luke because it would’ve made zero sense to hug Han or Chewie, they weren’t close to Obi wan and Luke screamed “no” when he died and alerted the stormtroopers and we see Han and Chewie make fun of Obi Wan earlier in the movie
By far the funniest thing about this trilogy is that tens of millions of people spent 2 years trying to guess the identity and future of Snoke, who then dies in the next film and we never hear about him ever again.
Personal fun fact: I am a person who struggles to get to sleep, since i can remember and i am a big star wars fan. But when i went to the cinema, i just passed away for the second half of the movie. I never thought that this could be even possible in any movie. (without being at home, laying in bed, trying to get to sleep, while hearing it with closed eyes)
Finn: "Oh, they hate that ship!!!" *The First Order doesn't immediately see the Millennium Falcon parked, and that the suspects are running towards it* I suppose it's my fault, if I wanted consistency, I wouldn't be watching a Star Wars sequel.
I mean, why didn't he Millennium Falcon became some sort of a legendary symbol over years? After all, it was the ship that helped in the destruction of two motherfurcking Death Stars and other impressive stuff. I mean, I know that the Falcon is not the only YT-1300 model, but wouldn't the First Order hate the ship series with a passion? They shouldn't train their troops to destroy any kind of symbol that makes them remaind them of the biggest defeats the old Empire ever suffer? I'm not asking these new movies to have a lore with same level as Tokien's legendarium, but this is a sequel from a couple of trilogies with a story behind them, be more consistent.
Yavinus That's kind of my point. What Finn says implies the FO in TLJ hate it with passion for what it's crew did to the Empire, but it seems to have no real relevance to them in TFA. Yet another aspect in which the stories of these movies are utterly divorced from one another, never mind the Star Wars universe.
I always found it laughably sad that the Millennium Falcon is supposedly the most infamous ship in the galaxy , yet no one knows what it looks like in The Force Awakens.

7:40 - I believe by 'first offense' they mean the first time Finn has been shown to act out-of-character for a stormtrooper, not necessarily his first mission.
