psus2h Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If only people would stop and realize this. They need to stop and realize that, as well as the fact that JJ was a creator of Lost which had us puzzled for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Lost also gave us a hand-wavy explanation to everything that left a huge portion of its fanbase disappointed. Even before the light saber battle, Rey figured out on her own how to resist Kylo's mind penetration and use the Jedi mind trick. If she had training before, that puts it into more of a grey area but I still think it's inconsistent -- no one else in the series just figures out these things on their own. Giving up the conversation. Don't mean to continuously shit on the movie to people who really enjoyed it. It wasn't bad, I just wanted (and based on the early reviews, expected) more.

daegor Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Isn't something new allowed to happen? Maybe she'll be the most powerful force user ever. Maybe when Kylo said "It's you" he was referring to the prophecy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Isn't something new allowed to happen? Nope, if it's different to what came before, it's wrong, but if it's too similar, it's wrong as well. #fans YouTwo, stl_ben, daegor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Nope, if it's different to what came before, it's wrong, but if it's too similar, it's wrong as well. #fansthis is the exact attitude of most of the complaints. "it's too much like IV". "this didn't happen in IV, so it doesn't make sense." daegor and Breezus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Also, Lost is a terrible show. There are interviews out there where the writers admit that a lot of the "mysteries" that were never explained have no explanation and that they were just thrown in to fuck with the viewer. There is a difference between leaving something up for interpretation and a legit red herring. And when you construct a plot out of red herrings you're not clever you're just annoying.

She's obviously at least heard of these "Jedi myths" so why not give it a try? I mean, Kyle had just hinted to her that she had some force power. Of course, I do just shrug some stuff off because I really want to love this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I hadn't watched Grandma's Boy in years but for some reason queued it up on Netflix like a week before I saw Star Wars. That's gotta be the force or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezus Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I don't mind ewoks really, but the biggest problems with 6 are the terrible writing (some of the dialogue is cringe-worthy) and the substantially inferior acting from most of the main cast. Also a few directing decisions are ridiculous and editing is very poor in many of the action scenes compared to the previous two (and every move fett makes is more suited for a 70s b-movie than a summer blockbuster. Seriously, those scenes are a joke) I saw VI last night (for the overall fourth time) but honestly, I didn't think that most of the dialogue was any worse than IV or V. I don't know which directing decisions you specifically mean but if it's the three simultaneous storylines at the end (Endor/duel/Death Star 2.0), I'd get it. And after seeing it again, V has definitely surpassed VI in my personal favorites list. Also saw VII for the second time earlier today and it was even better. This time I didn't mind the final helicopter shot (which looked out of place and trippy as fuck in 3D). Still too early to say whether it's my ultimate favorite but I can't really come up with anything that I didn't like about it (marry me Rey). Got goosebumps all over again.

Santa Bateman Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Not gonna lie, I don't see much resemblance. Well the nose that's about it. But I think driver has a bigger wider nose.

Vector53 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Just read that myself. Yeah I dont get why they didn't go the route of Rey being tempted at least. Would have given a sense that Snoke isn't going to be hanging around in the shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it three times and never realized that Simon Pegg's character was the one in the flashback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
