So is the death planet equipped with a hyper drive or what?

Or Can it's projectile hit multiple planets in multiple star systems?

If not, is the new republic government confined to a single star system?

As a whole, the movie was much better than 1-3 from an acting, effects, direction point of view. But the plot was just as bad: The larger story lacked clarity. The immediate story was propelled by dumb luck and happenstance at every turn.

What plot in any star wars movie isn't bad and exactly the same as the plot to a new hope though?

Empire? Only one. Yikes.

Enjoy it.

I'm starting to realize that is less that Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie, but is the only objectively good Star Wars movie (A New Hope was ok).

You know, thinking about it I kinda feel that RotJ wasn't that great of a movie on its own. There is nothing that really stands out in it to me. I feel like Luke rescues everyone from Jabba and then the second Death Star gets blown up. Not much in between. You may be right.

Don't forget they take up about half of the movie with the Jabba's palace crap. The second half has more scenes with Ewoks than it does with Rebels/Empire.

So finally was able to verbally talk to someone about this movie considering you have to keep quiet about it or spoilers for p much everyone but, the result is im like wtf man this movie suckkkked! Here's why I think so:

The pacing - this movie was paced as if it was a story being told by the micro machine guy, before I even knew what the fuck was happening, we were already into the next scene, and getting ready to get into the one that follows it!

The scene with the 2 bounty hunter groups - Those bounty hunters looked like shit. They looked more like extras in a marvel movie than any starwars character I have ever dreamed of, i mean look at the fucking bounty hunter lineup in empire strikes back, bossk, 4lom, zukkus, bobafet.. now look at the lineup in the force awakens, some random chinese mafia vs some random tumblr maphia.. terrible.

Just look at how much more inspired these fucking guys are:

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The Sound - The sound was awful, i mean maybe it was the theater I was in, but what I heard was terrible tinny sounds, no awesome blaster shots that made me nostaligic, nothing.. I mean I'm glad they didn't try to re-invent the sounds the way lucas did in the phantom menace, by making over the top pod racer sounds, and that squirty lazer pistol sound etc.. but they could have done SMOETHING to honor the amazing sound that made the origional triology unlike any other movies.

The Score - On the subject of sound, what the fuck was up with no new memorable score? was the movie just paced so horribly we didnt haev time for a single fucking muscal cue? or did they just totally fucking forget that nearly EVERY iconic song from the origional trilogy 30 years ago is hummed in nearly EVERY fucking social situation everyone is in today?

How can you forget to write a musical score worthy of the origional trilogy? jesus christ what the fuck.

The storm trooper helmets - This one may be only for me, but someone out there will agree I am sure. But the helmets for the stormtroopers made the fucking dudes look like they were a giant army of adult sized babies.. they wre just TOO BIG (and im not even talking about those horrible fucking snow troper helmets that are SHOULDER width big) Im talking regular stormtroopers, on the deathstare before fin leaves i wasl ike what the fuck, is it a bunch of these guys inside those suits?:

Let me try to explane, here we will examine two storm trooper helmets. The origional you can see below has slightly squared off edges at the top, while the new ones are spherical. This results in about 1 centemeter of incrased width on both sides, that results in giant adult babies. Terrible.

The Story - We've all posted a million things we have problems with when it comes to the story sure, but for me I would just like to say, 'congrats you wrote a story that was pretty much the same as every fan-fic or pencil and paper campaign any nerd has come up with a thousand times before you.'

Welp, yea.. I am happy that at the very least there is no jarjar shit in this movie, thrilled infact. Though I am definitly not going to walk around saying this was anywhere near as good as the origional trilogy. IT might have more in common with the hobbit than it does starwars.

Oh yea, there were more 'jokes & references' to the origional trilogy in this fucking serious movie, there there were in all 3 episodes of the Family Guy's Blue Harvest... so take it down a notch JJ
