So why was a young scavenging loner with no formal education wise enough to turn down the offer for the Droid?
This ess never explained beyond "so the movie can happen".
Have you ever wondered what Hollywood would be like if hacks like Abrams and Lindelof were kicked out for this shit of the industry, instead of being supported and promoted by the studios?
Nope, you nailed it. The "sucking from a star" of Starkiller Base was ripped directly from visuals of the Star Forge in the video game. So, too, was innumerable Star Destroyers riding up from the planet / up the maw of the gigantic Star Forge, ripped from the video game as well.
Didn't really make that much sense. Sucking up a star produces ships because...

Everything is made from star stuff. The Star Forge converted the component masses of stars into elements, then made stuff from the elements.

Didn't really, but...because Force Magic! It wasn't just a mechanical process severed from the Force.
Because the droid was designed so the viewer would think it's cute to make Rey likeable by the audience for making the choice.
Don't you know how films are written these days?
ngl and maybe i shouldn't say it, but something about her in the desert made me feel a certain way. when she took the helmet off and you could see her pits - ooooo. big fan of her work in the peter rabbit animated film also.
On the rewatch TFA just feels like yet another JJ Abrams movie. It isn't shot like Star Wars at all. That's one of the things TLJ got right at least, it feels a lot more like Star Wars cinematically (aside from a couple moments like the Rashomon sequence, which itself was trying to carry on Lucas's "shamelessly rip off Kurosawa" legacy). TFA and TROS are just JJ being JJ, shaky cam and all.
This is my take. It was derivative and “safe” but inoffensive. It was a cautious step into a new world. Then the following two movies completely shat the bed and retroactively made TFA that much worse

TFA already ruined the setting since the first ground scene. You were just too distracted by the memberberries to notice it.
Never forget they had the opportunity to make any unique kind of a world before making it tatooine 2.0
But anon, without a Tatooine knock-off how are we going to appeal to the Gen X nostalgia?
>But anon, without a Tatooine knock-off how are we going to appeal to the Gen X nostalgia?
Gen X are the biggest proponents for moving past (or away from, at least) the Skywalker Saga. The last thing they wanted to see was memberberries and Hoth 2.0
Salt planet! For those hyper(space) geeks, that's a 4th type of death world, in addition to desert and lava lush green ocean/forest planet with incel rejectation!
>TFA already ruined the setting since the first ground scene
You're forgetting the opening crawl. I remember seeing it in theaters and thinking >Resistance? >First Order? >Leia went rogue from the New Republic? >What the hell?
The crawl was a revolutionary exposition device, and when put in JJ's hands it instantly became the orb of confusion. Anyway, the point is TFA sucked from the jump
Yeah he purposely left out names of new characters. >The Resistance's best pilot.
We meet this pilot on the ground on an obscure planet. he was somehow tracked to that world (and therefore not a good pilot?). Does he take off and do amazing pilot stuff? Nope. Escapes in a tie fighter, gets shot down immediately. There's one payoff scene but we don't know it's him until after he does it I think. then he solos the planet weapon's defenses.
It's JJ's #1 strategy for writing: confuse people hard enough and they'll think you're smart and know what you're doing. Just keep baffling them with dazzling new bullshit. Fast talking as script writing.
>opening crawl
Man it still bugs me how broken the world building is in this shit pile >plucky rebels took out Death Star II and are growing to where the could really slug it out with the empire >no wait - empire is still god mode and there’s like 30 rebels who need to destroy a whole goddamn planet Death Star that can destroy systems
Oh I forgot about that lol
But you forgot the very first sentence: >Luke Skywalker has vanished.

Remember the plot point of the old guy that Kylo killed in that village that has never been brought up again?

Always, always comics (abd Battlefront 2)
It's even more moronic though because he was protecting the map to find Luke and Luke didn't want anyone to find him despite putting half the map in R2 and sending it to Leia also.

TCW really created this moronic mentality that spin-offs can somehow fix the movies. How many more viewers will Ahsoka have to loose before they realise it's pointless?

And these spin offs are always invalidated by the next film overwriting them anyway
Reminder: it was Portions Guy that installed the Compressor onto the hyperdrive of the Millennium Falcon which so many audience members seethed about. Rey knows about this Compressor since she's always around Portions Guy. Han notices and complains about the Compressor as soon as he enters the wienerpit and Rey subsequently disables it.
The first movie is actually pretty cohesive in terms of what she should be able to do in the rest of the film based on the demands of the introduction planet. One of the other parts that set people off was her climbing around the death star, but it was her job to climb around imperial wrecks in the beginning of the film.
Only thing I recall people called out about the Death Star is the magic knife that somehow pointed them to where to salvage a battlestation that exploded and had debrie crash randomly on Endor.
How does Rey have an English accent and speak it fluently if she was with this and other alien beings her whole life? Shouldn't it be a Pretty Lady situation?
Rey's butt is nice, may be fake, no matter, she's pretty and a fun character. This is Hollywood, none of their internal BS matters, just the big frames onscreen.
Tell that to Kanjiklub
Imagine having Simon Pegg and wasting him on a throwaway role.
Scottish gangsters in space!

Nope! Welcome to Bad Robot Productions!

The Sith Eternal Fleet was created by cloning the Star Forge and magical Force mysticism, forget about stupid in-universe explanations.
They even ripped off the sun siphon from the Star Forge, too.
isn't the starforge from a videogame? am I getting my lore mixed up?

Literal native isekai
Rey is a character in Star Wars who knows about Star Wars
Because the droid was designed so the viewer would think it's cute to make Rey likeable by the audience for making the choice.

Why do disney star wars aliens always look like scrotums and foreskins?
Literally the only endearing scene in the whole goddamn trilogy.
Derivative as it was TFA still felt like it had more soul than the movies that came after

I thought it was fine when it came out but I think that's because I was expecting it to actually lead to something worthwhile

All explaination removed from the script and relegated to a book. Even the scenes that showed the new Republic were scrapped after being filmed

Derivative soul
it was the first instance of an attempt at forced soul but that attempt failed in hindsight
omg she's poor like me!
praise Disney!

That was the third movie. I meant the death star in TFA

it's extremely rare that a british person can ever speak without their moronic accent
Nu wars alien designs are just the laziest fricking slop out there
>what if human features...in different configuration!
99% of nuwars aliens
>what if someone with downs got run over by a truck
And thus the rehabilitation begins.
Never forget they had the opportunity to make any unique kind of a world before making it tatooine 2.0
I blame George for setting four out of six films there.
They did that pic related in TROS
>THAT'S MINE!!!
ngl this made me burst out laughing it was so fricking stupid
Is Nerrel good?
Whitelight seems like an odd dude
I'll give Daisy my portion if you know what I mean
ONE INCH PORTION
>Inch High Private Dick
Did Rey debase herself for alien men in order to survive? Did she start to like it?
Wasn't that actually 007?
I'm not gay but I might debase myself.
This movie would have been about 35% more popular if Rey had a bare midriff.
FACT
so im not up to date with the reactionary propaganda. am i supposed to be hating jj or rian?
Yes
You don't have to choose. Both.
Rey's butt is nice, may be fake, no matter, she's pretty and a fun character. This is Hollywood, none of their internal BS matters, just the big frames onscreen.
For a woman like Rey, that's what your tongue is for. Man up!
You WISH you could drift off to sleep with Daisy's 3-day funk all over your upper lip!
