Let me know if I missed any.- When in a New Hope did "An exalted master of the dark side of the force administrates via a hologram." ? Just curious.ETM
- Also when in Empire did this happen?
The Father-Son relationship experiences a sudden turn, after you think they might be nice to each other.ETM - Lets be honest... many of these, at their core themes, are the crutch of every story.ETM
- ^ oh ffs - everyones got mass hysteria... Force Awakens is a near remake of A New Hope with some other bits thrown in. It's fact for all to see. I knew he wouldfadein11
- play it safe but how safe he did play it sucks balls. Just caught last half hour of Revenge of the Sith accidentally on TV - it's has a better feel, cannotfadein11
- believe I am saying it. But Force Awakens also feels small and Earth-bound. Nothing out of this world happens.fadein11
- I was kinda surprised when a rather famous character died, maybe just me, but I didn't see that coming and was amazed it wasn't leakedformed
- regarding my posts 3 above - by feel I mean it feels more like Star Wars. The last half hour is actually rather good apart from newly helmetted Vader's outburstfadein11
- You mean that 30 minute saber fight over lava video game sequence? The ridiculous fact that Obi-Wan neither helps nor kills Anakin, but simply...ETM
- leaves him in agony. Because doing one or the other logical thing doesn't allow the character simply to survive and fit the existing narrative.ETM
- lol, yea that noooooo was some baywatch corny shit wasn't it. the prequels were visually far more interestingburd-turglar
- Or Yoda running like a bitch and becoming useless for no good reason other than to again simply fit into existing narrative?ETM
- On this sir, we must agree to disagree.ETM
- it was a cobbled together mess as wellburd-turglar
- it feels bigger, like an epic. Original trilogy also felt big with no CGI. Some of the sets/planets in epVII feel v.small and all v.earthlike. Not sci-fi enoughfadein11
- hard to explain - it often felt like obvious sets. Look at his Star Trek reboot - doesn;t feel like that at all - good balance between CGI and real.fadein11
- lol at bloggers ranting about it being the same as A New Hope like they are the smartest critic on the planet. It was on fucking purpose retards.inteliboy
- I can't help but think that it's all for the benefit of videogames and merchandise. Mustafar, mygeeto, kamino, falooga etc, were cool as fuck, the new moviesburd-turglar
- Didn't have squat in the way of cool new planetary scenes for the upcoming games. The coolest new shit was the new species introduced in the mos eisley rehashburd-turglar
