May 30, 2021
How does it feel to be

part

of the most anticipated film of the year? Quite, very exciting, really, very, very exciting. I think Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to

part

three of a review of the

force

awakens

. Obviously, The Rise of Skywalker was published in the middle of this analysis. And I'm sure that will have a ripple effect on how everything is contextualized. and rewrites would be enough. Hopefully that explains the strange timeline in which these videos were posted, but with the added context and time given to complete editing, I should be able to present you with the best work I can regardless. parts 1 and 2 before 3 For context, unless you're new and just want to give this video a chance and with that let's move on to I Used to be a pretty touching line, right?

When Han leaves the room, Finn shares Han's former rank as general of the rebellion and war hero, although Rey corrects him. She says that he was a smuggler, which can be quite frustrating for audience members. This compounds how much this new world forgot the old, as she tells us that Hans's exploits overall were not widespread or impactful enough for many parts of the will to remember and remember. he watches as she knows him as this epic, the legendary scavenger. It seems highly unlikely that Rey would be completely unaware of Luke's existence beyond myth status, and despite that, she is fully aware that Han Solo is this epic smuggler.

That doesn't really make much sense. For me, Han Solo, the general of the rebellion. I guess it's strange that Han's time as a smuggler was better known than his time fighting for the rebels despite having been with them for years, during which the Empire was crippled and removed from its position as overlord of the galaxy. That's how famous his ineptitude with smuggling has become. Alright, I guess that's how it works. Whats Next? Okay, so there are many moments in the narrative as a whole that act as a direct reference to his own stories; It could be a character, a place or an event to provoke that feeling of where it all began or what it means to have gotten here.

Obviously, their intention is to give the audience a bout of nostalgia and that can be extremely effective, but it doesn't always work. In that way there are many degrees of success in execution some properties may embarrass their predecessors by taking the event and changing what it originally meant some may sap their predecessors' legacy by using it to boost their own some respectfully lean on their predecessors by evoking a strong sense of Progression and appreciation for a bygone era and some use the Power of their predecessors to forge something powerful and new in the present. It's in all forms of media Constructed with appreciation and love or cobbled together with cynicism and greed Star Wars Let's look at The Lord of the Rings spoilers for those who haven't seen the trilogy yet Jay Aragorn Wielding the Real is a direct result of Elrond Know that your daughter's life is now linked to the fate of the One Ring.

Arwen fell in love with Aragorn. That commitment has a high price and despite that, she remains committed. In addition to standing firm against Sauron's

force

s, she challenges Elrond's lack of faith. in men if he must help them give this corruptible race another chance while saving his daughter, then they will need resources. They will take the path of degradation to search for those who dwell in the mountains, murderers, traitors, men who once betrayed the king who wielded the same sword that is revealed. is the climax of this scene if they fought for the light in Middle Earth and won Arwen and many other lives could be saved and Aragorn could lead the people of Middle Earth into a new age.
Something he gained throughout his journey in these films. . So how many cylinders are firing in this scene? The sword is a direct connection to the opening of this trilogy. It represents how far we have come and at the same time reminds the audience of the experiences they would have already had in the prologue. It is the weapon that was used in the fight against Sauron. Broken and reforged ready to attack the darkness once again. It represents a significant level. support of one of the most cynical characters in history. It shows that there is still hope for the world of men.
It represents a lifeline for a loved one and an opportunity to save them. It is a recognition or even a milestone for Aragorn's actions and his journey. and is a supremely powerful relic in this world, but the most relevant narrative is that he offers command of a reinforcement force to win an impossible war for life in Middle-earth, and yet, perhaps most significant of all, is that It will facilitate atonement for a major past betrayal. Reinforcing one of the many themes of the entire trilogy: man's capacity for redemption. The plot, the world, the characters and the themes explode in this moment.
It pays off in essentially every fundamental category of storytelling. Meanwhile, we have something like player one ready, a movie that would like to recreate a scene from The Shining because it's the character's 11th favorite horror movie, remember that scene? Oh look, there's another scene from that movie and another. It's an attempt to tease the connection the audience probably has with that content only to artificially attach it to this new content because if you can make the audience feel good at any cost to the craft. It means you got the interesting element right. Is it easier to provoke a sense of nostalgia in your audience the more powerful or revered the original reference?
However, the more this is attempted, the more the returns diminish. My past has caught up with me. I won't be going back, although the death of the Terminator franchise is something else. The Lord of the Rings has a script that works very hard to make this moment meaningful, whether the reference to the past is remembered or not. The ready player is equipped with a script that fits The Shining. Among other things, under blatant artifice and failed reference, a creator who hates his own creation. And it's based on Stephen King's best-selling book Who hated the movie The Shining was actually vilified by Stephen King, but he didn't create the movie adaptation He created the book Stanley Kubrick created the brilliant movie and he didn't hate it and he didn't hate it either.
King Do you hate the book he wrote making references like all those in Ready Player One, empty and manipulative? So let's bring it back. Han Solo reunites with the Millennium Falcon and the main title theme plays. It's a huge burst of nostalgia to see Han back in the cockpit of his now legendary Ship that audiences haven't seen together in so long. like over 30 years, but why is this significant to him? Well, he arbitrarily lost his ship at some point And now he's gotten it back because now is when he found it None of it has been explained beyond thin throwaway lines because this moment is exactly why this happened.
It is yet another attempt to artificially bind together old emotions. to new content Hans's reaction to seeing the cabin as a result of important inventions and instead expressing that he is backing out. What is the triumph due to? He is expressing reverence, which matches how the audience is probably feeling. Simply put, this chase is a sort of Star Wars wish-fulfillment for these characters and for the audience, as you can fly, pilot, and shoot from one of the big ships to Star Wars Han feels what the creators think the audience to simulate the fulfillment of a wish.
It is a form of catharsis. Convince the audience that they are fulfilling his wish without having to do much more than a key jingle. private moment of him in the booth performed with This strategy worked wonders on the audience in 2015, myself included, despite being delivered without the support of the narrative itself. It's almost entirely a meta moment and that exposes the goal they had, everything is very deliberate, careful and corporate, yet there are more mistakes. Check out this clip from the documentary made about episode 8 called The Director and the Jedi, You Made These Dice. Apparently it's what Han Solo used to make the million.
Well, someone didn't get that particular memo according to the Han Solo solo movie. Han stopped Lando from cheating and won the Millennium Falcon that way, the meaning of the dice went beyond a memory. He provided it to his then-girlfriend and before that, it was an item that Han used to decorate his slider. The Last Jedi made a big deal about these dice that could have worked as a Han Solo piece or something he valued if we had known more about him. the dice in the first place But the context provided by Solo makes this moment in The Last Jedi ferociously insulting why in the world would Luke Skywalker give his sister, the love of Han Solo's life, a token representing the Hans' ex-girlfriend.
You have a problem with dice. Yeah, Oh, it's really disrespectful that layer two had a sample of Hans' previous relationship, man. He had no other. These two dice represent your mechanically connected lower and upper halves. It should be like thanks man, that's what I needed when I was thinking. about how dice operate, what was better than dice, I mean, if he hadn't given her something that would have been better than that, I don't agree with that, I'm sorry. He showed that he cared about Hans. death, he regretted he had not been there to prevent it. It was kind of like, you know, I regret Hans's previous relationship.
I miss my friend too. I don't know. Why do you think you're haunted like a bunch of chicks after layer? No, we're going from that movie that came out and that existed before Leia, which was long before he met each other. Well, that was our point. Yeah, that's the point, so Keira should have been the one to get it. Yeah, if someone should bring the diver here, they should absolutely bring other guys. That's true. Kiran Kiran, the dice catcher. Yes. We saw Hahn watching. him with so much love I think you really like these dice and we always used to talk about The specialty related to these dice that I knew was you But it turns out that the whole mass is just a miscommunication within Lucasfilm during the force

awakens

when filming a scene. was set up in which Han places the dice on the Falcon and there is an explanation that he won the ship with them.
This would help tie everything together if it were accompanied by an explanation that the cape cares about him beyond being a trinket from Hans' story. , but it was cut and, as we know, The Last Jedi was being written before TFA was finished. So I imagine it was in the original TFA script. Ryan Johnson read it and made it a very significant element for his sequel. Once The Force Awakens was released or even before, Ryan would have seen the final cut and realizing what was missing he either decided to keep this moment the same or didn't even do it.
He detects that it was a problem. Which is much more likely. This attitude in film and communication in a matter of the entire production team will completely paralyze your story from the core. Just because it was your idea doesn't mean you can't alter it. I will never do it. Stop telling people to rewrite their scripts for all kinds of reasons. One of many is that the things you do in the later parts of your script may be drastically altered by what you found out you did in the earlier parts, or vice versa? Never get too attached to deleting or changing a part while editing.
You might come out with something better anyway. Han says that someone has put a compressor in the ignition line and that the hyperdrive will now require more stress at the end of the sentence. He and Ray finish it together. I thought it was a mistake. Too much stress on the hyperdrive. This is a clear method to show that Ray knows what he's doing and can function as a character. Realizing something about another naturally, unfortunately opening up your relationship. This is another Ray attribute to add to the list. She is adept at identifying the mechanical functions of the Millennium Falcon and this skill extends to other ships of most types.
A separate issue is that this is a big part of Ray's enhanced development that is already completed. which she will rely on much later. The sad reality is that there is potential here like many elements of this story, but they are rarely consistent and are often left behind despite their protests. Han decides to expel Finn and Rey. He seems insulted at the prospect of helping them almost as if he is behaving more like he would have done in opening up new hope. He shows the inevitability and impossibility that Han Solo could flee his Star Wars roots to simply state that betraying his own roots is what Han Solo can do. or he would is not enough.
You can't just play where they developed a completely iconic character because you want to see how a particular circumstance plays out. We know this doesn't work when put in writing. You have to be respectful and justified or you won't fit into an existing story Damaging both your own content and the content that gave you this opportunity Returning to the scene Hans stops at themention of Luke Skywalker, but before we explore that, we find out that Han and Chewie, the scariest one the Falcon has inside, are being boarded now, let me clarify 119 seconds from the moment Han meets Finn and Rey, the ship is boarded by two different factions who are supposed to be doing a smuggling job for each.
How unfortunate it is that Han can't barter with these people. He doesn't even try to offer our raft because they must have some value if he's smuggling them. He also has a hard time even

star

ting to speak his way. outside the. He mostly just walked over during this scene. Then they say his game is old. I really wanted to see that Han was at the end of his rope, that he had been running and gunning in the way we might have expected and now he is literally on the brink of death. door There is nowhere left for him to flee and they are looking for him in every corner of the galaxy.
JJ wanted to show that Han was essentially defeated after all this time. He managed to get into debt with everyone in the galaxy and there's nowhere left to run, as if to say that the ooty made it clear that he wasn't very good at his job, when that clearly wasn't the case. That comment also implies that Hans' debt to Jabba was not due to his investment in the rebellion or his desire to free himself from the Empire, but rather was Hans' incompetence as a smuggler even though he completed the job and got the money he needed. he won and now what he owes Jabba has apparently been taken to the nth degree.
Han Solo simply owes everyone in the galaxy. There is nothing She has left you to defraud. Han was neither a scammer nor a liar. In any case, he was very honest. This is an amazing lady. Reed about what we knew about Star Wars. Han missed sending him to Jabba because he was avoiding the Empire. He eventually recovered the money for Jabba. He didn't fool him, the problem was his position as an outlaw and his investment in his friends and the Rebel Alliance. Anyway, Rey and Finn end up staying below the floor to avoid being seen from there.
One of the factions points out that Han owes money to both his own crew and another crew, prompting him to introduce them. This could work as a revelation if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't make sense. How come Han knew he was boarded, but he only knew about one ship instead of both. How did one faction know when the other was going to open their side of the ship? This scene plays for big laughs despite the rampant death. So maybe I'm not supposed to pay so much attention. But it's a glaring inconvenience right after we gained a huge convenience for our protagonists.
These are really

star

ting to add up. In addition to this, both factions are aware of the first order hunting a BB unit and two fugitives. This is never confirmed as a reward, but I imagine it works as one, since these factions probably wouldn't show that much interest. Otherwise, the idea is that it's not just these gangs that are working together. But now you realize that they are working in alliance with the first order. Oh wow, you say it makes sense for both parties to work together, which makes it quite curious for them to open separate contracts with Han or even allow a second one. contract when Han hasn't fulfilled the first one, on top of that, why even talk to Han instead of capturing him right away?
The scene implies that they didn't care if Han had what they wanted and if they work for the first order. Of course they have to capture Han, I mean, Han is wanted throughout the galaxy. The First Order would obviously want him at that point, not to mention that he is responsible for the destruction of two Death Stars. I imagine they hate him quite a bit, which means that these two factions would surely capture him the moment they initially met, at the very least. They would make the first order aware of the situation instead of waiting until they have escaped judging by the scene.
It's not like they want the tars of anger. Now that I think about it. So who would have hired an old man and his dog to capture huge man-eating meatballs. I say this even though they have actually managed to capture a lot of these things. So maybe I'm wrong or maybe the team that caught them all died in the process. Unfortunately, I have a larger team. This disaster of a scene is not over, friends first, as I mentioned before. Logistically, the first order should be very close, if not in sight, of the Millennium Falcon at this time, as they were stationed over Jakku and had men in the field with communications that would have established what type of ship they are on and what. coordinates left To give a star destroyer enough space and time to block them This is before you realize that these two factions are also working with the first order despite the first ordering themselves not to board the ship.
They are nowhere to be seen. Like I said, they're only contacted once the Falcon escapes. Secondly, just try to follow this nonsense. It's established that the First Order wants you to hunt down and capture our heroes more than anything. But that doesn't matter because the movie spirals out of control. way to show that the first order simply cannot find them moments later Despite having a powerful tracker, as well as many images of the ship and direct communication with the people on the carrier. But that doesn't matter because a new faction came out of nowhere that seemingly works with the first order starts chasing them anyway But that doesn't matter because they are easily avoided and never appear again leaving our heroes free and clear regardless But that doesn't matter because someone more loyal to the first order alerts the first order to our hero's location, returning the first order to the plot if it's unclear.
I'm trying to highlight that instead of using a simple logical progression, we keep getting trade-offs to overcome each obstacle in real time. Every addition has to bend or break the rules. to overcome the last one when all they needed was Kylo Hux and his soldiers to constantly chase them instead of spawning a new faction to apparently work with them. Anyway, the first one would actually support the first order intimidation factor instead of deflating it regularly. They could be using the scanner that Han alludes to in a future scene. They could be using a tracker that a sinner person invented and this scene could have been Han helping Finn and Rey escape the first order to get his ship back instead of these random laughing stock factions. , this scene is an open admission that the factions in Star Wars are well aware of the First Order, but they haven't given us any information in terms of what is being done regarding the crimes the First Order is constantly committing against other factions. , apparently Starkiller Base shrouded in secrecy So why does the entire galaxy allow them to run rampant?
Jakku is relevant to the New Republic: the attack on Jakku soil is an act of war. What about collecting child slaves from the general factions? He just doesn't seem to care that much about the first order and the idea of ​​the first order being covert is completely out of the question. Many of the important actors are aware of their misdeeds and some are openly connected to the resistance. Why was nothing done to stop them? At this time considering the regime? They are trying to resurrect why there aren't more discussions about past

wars

and failures in terms of stopping them fourth.
The only reason these gangs suspect Han of harboring fugitives is not because they are in the area the Falcon was previously in. Instead, they have been discovered by the first order. It's because they recognize the BB unit for information about the fugitives. Well, if Finn and Rey are legitimately going down to hide, then why not send BB-8 there with Han knows the first order is? specifically after the Droid, what about Stay with me until I get rid of the gang they have back and be on your way. Oh, he stays with you. But why? First, Arthur is looking for one just like him.
Oh, that's why finally the absolutely inconvenient timing of both factions showing up just seconds after Han and Chewie arrived is evidence of ADHD. This script suffers and requires constant action to stay satisfied. it means they keep adding more to the plot, making it contradictory and downright ridiculous. That's not to say the film is lacking. Any quiet scene where the plot can settle instead of speeding along. Coincidentally, those scenes are of a much higher quality than this one. Now, if we wait a second and rewind before the biggest drama of this scene happens, Han says, oh great, it's a The Guavian Death Gang should appeal to us from then on too.
This is a throwaway line and, surprisingly, I have a lot to say about it. This line has been written to explain that not only do these factions exist, but that they were on the trail of danger just before he arrived here and that they have arrived now. is meant to explain why the drama is about to happen, but all he really does is click the can in the future. Where is this other place? And how did they find damage there so they could trace it back here? This inconvenience is explained as being a direct consequence of another different inconvenience that is not explained.
So I don't really understand throwaway lines like this. They're a complete waste of opportunity to smooth over poorer plot points and repair your story. Assuming you're even in a state that lends itself to that when creating throwaway lines. You need to connect to elements that already exist, thus creating a sense of cause and effect through dialogue that is as natural as possible when the story begins to feel sparse. So what can we do here? Well, we know that these factions can be in the first orders, employing and damaging deals with mercenaries, smugglers and bounty hunters all the time in their line of work.
Let's use that data in a discussion that already exists and modify a lot to include some. disposable lines when Han sees the ship at the terminal he could say Out tasu leech find us so far away the first order got a base in jakku The first order came for us we have to take bb-8 to the resistance Whose tassel is each an old friend and a mercenary he works with in the first order He stays where the money is, but if they send him, they don't know you're here with those few lines We've connected information about Hans' profession with a new character One of the many people Hans would meet in this galaxy, this character can now represent a new faction with its own culture.
Drive the will to build as well as share insights into Han's life so far in careful dialogue afterwards. Additionally, we recognize that The First Order has lost the location of the Falcon, but the ships orbiting Jack are being controlled by the nearby Star Destroyer. Deploying different units, this new character was sent as a talented mercenary with an experienced crew that is familiar with Han Solo and his skills as a smuggler make him a strong candidate to successfully capture Han Solo, enemy of the Empire. For the first order, although he possibly finds the other escapees, this explains why these people were in the area, why they arrived on a Han ship, and why we don't see the stormtroopers arrive. instead, even though the first order is aware of the ship, we also allow a new character from Hans' story with similar reasoning to Lando's introduction in Empire.
We also have all the pieces for Han to have a verbal and physical confrontation with someone who relatively knows him. . Well, thus providing an action scene, but before that, during its back and forth, you can explore any elements that remain weak while adding many new details to strengthen the missing pieces between the Old Testament and the new trilogy, and so you end up . with a few throwaway lines that create opportunities for character exploration, drive the plot, and provide an opening for will building, it built on what we knew and now makes something ridiculous seem a lot more reasonable.
His new action scene may involve Rey using a terminal to help his allies with cover by relying on his established mechanical knowledge. Finn is able to cover Han and Chewie during the battle while he tries to stay level-headed to avoid any lethal shots at the enemies. This may be something Han notices and explores with Finn in the future. The scene leaves us with Han and Shu making heavy use of their weapons and knowledge of the ship, showing us that they may be old, but they are still talented and dangerous. With this we can drop the raft and shave the scene while maintaining every substantial detail. that was there to begin with, however, performing script repairs is pointless because there are many more fundamental elements to modify if we want something functional.
The goal of what I was doing here is actually broader than that. Oh great Segue V and Death Game must draw us in ever since to seeThat the goal with this line was to assure the audience that something in the script that seems ridiculous is absolutely logical, the problem is that they had no basis for it. Aside from well, Han probably gets trapped, people track down Boba Fett, he did it, Obi-wan, people probably do, but by this logic, anyone can tune in anywhere, anytime. The error would come from realizing that the two aforementioned follow-up cases were not random at all.
There are countless examples of throwaway lines in many stories where the writers try to make up for a lack of Groundwork or prepare for something ridiculous to create a small piece of information Forced to come in at just the right moment to act as an excuse For example, what do you do ? If the only escape you can think of for your two young characters in Jurassic World is to fix a broken Jeep when there's no prior indication that they can do that, then you just fixed their old Malibu, right? Yes, that's a throwaway line designed to explain a skill that has a significant effect on the plot because average kids aren't normally expected to know how to repair a Jeep that's been out of commission for over 20 years.
They could have alluded to this at the movie premiere. The father could have celebrated his son's performance in personal driving lessons and repairs as they prepared to leave; that kind of paternal recognition could have come as a subtle farewell to the typical family activities that will soon be interrupted. as a result of the impending divorce shown in that movie, but we got this instead. Probably because it was seen as a small problem in this rift that a throwaway line can fix, but it wasn't based on almost anything we knew well, so what happens when you've introduced every major superpowered character in your story, but there's one you forgot and the plot moves forward without you.
You're going to have to explain his abilities, right? His sword traps the souls of his victims. She cut them all in half with a single swing of her sword, like Maul on the grass. She supports me. This is so horrible that it has gone down in history and we should probably forget about giving this character a triple introduction like the rest of the characters in the movie. They chose to introduce it just before everyone left to begin the second act. If it can be called that, the natural implication is that she was forgotten until that moment. in the script and therefore, based on nothing, we get an info dump in the form of a few throwaway lines to someone who is very important to this team, just horrible.
But then again, we're talking about Suicide Squad. Well then what about a movie that is considered a masterpiece for many assassination attempts that failed because he passed a gun to Jam. How do you explain that kind of luck? 28 gauge carbon fiber main china if you want to kill a public servant. Mr. Maroni I recommend you buy American, buy American, the gun is carbon fiber made in China therefore unreliable and therefore jammed and that doesn't even come close to explaining how you introduced a carbon fiber gun carbon fiber into the prison system and then through modern detectors and a courtroom pat-down.
Throwaway lines like these can be quite frustrating because, listening to them, we know that the creators have written themselves into a corner, a corner that, however, they want to overcome to obtain their reward. So they threw a line into the script to try to smooth out the progression of events and allow the payoff to continue. They are often used to explain immediately adjacent events in the script. Typically, writers will set up setups through many mechanics in the script that lead to rewards that come much later. the audience will have the time and knowledge to understand the event while remaining engaged with the reward rather than distracted by it.
Why can John Connor hack the security system near the end of Terminator 2? Allowing them access to the key that opens the security door giving them the opportunity to destroy the arm and chip that would have led to Judgment Day Well, it has been proven that he is a criminal who broke into the security systems to steal money for a decent amount. This is the result of being raised by a mother whose perspective is that survival at any cost is the only thing that matters. John will save the world, which is a position. This is completely informed by the previous film.
How about another example? Why was Mike able to record and exhibit? Mr. Waternoose, his nefarious plan in Monsters Inc. Well, Waternoose was lured into the room that was set up for training simulations that record the playback of good and bad quality scare tactics to help the monsters learn how to improve . Okay, so why was he able to get her daughter back by eliminating the takers who decided to take her because they regularly accept foreign visitors. It is established that he was a retired Wetwork CIA agent with decades of experience and still indulges in a part-time job that requires these skills. add that to friends who are holdovers from that story able to help him and you'll get all the information he needs to get involved with the entire script.
The problem that should become obvious with these comparisons is not just how much more meat is put into the settings. But proximity to its purpose in the script, if you put a specific exposition that allows an event to occur despite it being almost impossible moments before or after that event occurs, then you haven't fixed the script. Like I said above, you just threw away the can. the path Despite that, throwaway lines will be used to resolve potentially devastating events, such as a character dying or being irretrievably lost or not being given any screen time OR they could be used to generate drama where none exists, the reason why The one I said I didn't understand is lines like these because they are built to strengthen the script when in reality they highlight Weaknesses that need to be corrected from scratch, their incompetence or simply some bad luck in production But the result is the same which leads me to understand which many Some of you may be wondering what would be a good disposable line.
Well, the idea is the same as what I did in the lines for the force awakens. The lines are intended to strengthen connections that already exist to change devices in cause and effect. Ultimately, it confirms elements that were only thin and previously inferred by the audience, e.g. What if in your story you have a group of people who are trying to get to a plane and another group of people who? You must capture those who run by leading them into a big battle. How do we connect these two teams at the right time? Well, on the chasing team we have several resources for general surveillance, but they are mostly out due to the awareness of those elements of the running team.
This leaves us with the fact that the protagonist has a love interest. Deliver your equipment ready for the trip. on the jet that will take them to the fight. They're looking for that means this character will be able to bring anyone onto the race team. So do we have anyone on the chase team who shows interest in the life capsule? Lilian Lip piercing, right? Yes, she is cute. Yes, she's fine, but do they work for the same person? Would they even know each other? UH Huh. Well, this person would have to have experience in espionage. You mean Agent Romanoff.
Director Fury gave me a task, but even then the chasing team would still have to evacuate the entire airport and they would have to start doing it after the execution team arrived or they would be warned too soon. Well, sure we'll evacuate the entire airport as soon as the racer team arrives, but start with the hangar. It shouldn't take much more than a few minutes. And that's all Cap will need to prepare his team. He leaves no time for the team of runners to arrive. escape shoot the airport nor escape in general Force a confrontation we can show this with a throwaway line about evacuation and a confirmation that they have to fight their way out of Stark Suna.
The clever thing about that moment is that Bucky was the one who translated the German Evacuation Announcement which makes a lot of sense since he is a Winter Soldier and speaks thirty languages. Not the only one or soldier who speaks thirty languages ​​can hide in plain sight Infiltrate Assassinate destabilized. So, with all those pieces loosely prepared for the audience, all we need now is a line to let people know about the connection in case they missed it. So how do we do that? Well, we can put a throwaway line at the end of the relevant scene with a cut to the person being referenced in the dialogue.
You know where he is. YO? I know someone who does it. And there we have it, the main line was present but now it is highlighted through some small but important lines. But is it the kind of writing that everyone can learn? Audiences like Captain America in the airport parking lot rallying his team so they can fight the bad guy without government interference and somehow Iron Man finds him there and evacuates the entire airport in about a minute. It is not always collected, but when we give a script a more exhaustive analysis We can appreciate the craft independently in an incidental way.
Everyone should watch YMS his video about Kimba the White Lion. It's an incredibly detailed video that explores plagiarism accusations regarding The Lion King. It goes through a lot of context, whether it's movies and shows tied to the content in question over the years, interviews, production details, TED talks, and just about everything else with the goal of discovery. What was copied? What was lied to and what was overlooked, and how could there be other explanations for the patterns? People are catching on considering I was one of the many people who didn't know much about Kimber and at the same time happily accepted the idea that Disney may have taken a lot of what we ended up enjoying from the Lion King.
It was very informative, entertaining and insightful, right? I think it's one of the best videos YMS has ever made and you should check it out at the link in the description. Anyway, this is all essentially me explaining why I love throwaway lines. They are a fantastic writing tool, although they are often used competently. and with that out of the way, let's move forward in an attempt to catch both gangs. Ray pulls out some fuses and the beams are accidentally released. These things are essentially giant balls of organic creature flesh with a huge mouth complete with nimble tentacles that lure people into eating during the slapstick adventure, damage hitting a random guy to then throw him into the rathtar's mouth, which okay, but I can't help but see the cuts they make for this move.
I think it would have looked great if it was all in one. having the action insert the CGI monster into the scene a little bit more, but we do all the cutting, cutting, cutting. Either way, Harrison was clearly very concerned with the project looking well finished, considering how much he loves the character of Han Solo and how much investment there was. shown for the solo film as for the film featuring a young Han Solo. I don't know what to think about that. Are you looking forward to seeing a Han Solo movie as a fan Rey and Finn during their escape attempt run into a rathtar? and Finn, in a panic, is dragged away by the creature and Rey opens her mouth much wider than usual to show concern and then runs after the raft r2 trying.
Well, I don't know what his plan is here to be completely honest. She doesn't have a gun. She probably would have been dragged by Finn considering how many tentacles this thing has. But of course he chooses not to have her and loses his ability to pursue her. Fortunately for Finn, Rey finds a control panel and she is able to operate the emergency blast doors by closing one while the rathtar takes Finn through it, freeing him. When she saves Finn's life here, she doesn't get any credit and it's just that sweet We're Together Again thing. Again. Rey is very good.
She is saving lives while she turns down the opportunity to be appreciated for it. Why couldn't you have the rathtar drag Rey here and have Finn use a console to save her? Why does Rey have to be the hero in each of these scenes instead of making it a team effort later in the script? She rescues herself. Also, why do you need this ridiculous show? That makes me question a lot about the characters. The narration is very clear and I am surprised by how emotional it is. I guess it was that JJ didn't sacrifice a character for the show in any way.
I would also like to highlight that Finn was not killed. by the rathtar Immediately, like everyone else, we've been lucky, the less plot armor we see the better, but sometimes even Star Wars breaks that stereotype and it's quite refreshing. This prompts Han to take the bow launcher and shoot the mercenaries.remaining that seem to react. It's a little unlikely considering how long these two have been together, but we can talk about that a little later. Rey informs Harn about her own ship again and tells him that she needs a co-pilot, which is interesting considering she was piloted alone so easily just a few minutes ago.
Han makes another mistake and Rey has to clear it up for him so they can begin their jump to hyperspace. But this is natural. Everybody makes mistakes. For example when Rey released our raft. It appears as an error. She pressed the wrong fuses. Incorrect fuses, except Ray's mistake, cause all the characters on her team to leave alive and many of the enemies to be devoured. Her mistake facilitated her success. Something to note: Han activates the hyperdrive and travels through part of the path. hangar doors and part of a raft, he chose to do this instead of flying out of the hangar first because it was very much a cinematic spectacle to behold, but that caused a discrepancy in both the mechanics and the Universal character.
I never asked that question until later. I've done it, relationships fly, right? Something that will be discussed once we get closer to the only other scene that features rules regarding the hyperdrive. Inform the first thought that Han Solo has the droid they wanted and is aboard the Millennium Falcon. One of the two factions makes a call to secure the first. However, the order knows where the droid is and who has it. We don't see it again, but we do see this method of providing information once before and then again and again. This can be quite boring for an audience member, these pieces of connective tissue in the script are not triggered by something dynamic that relates to a setting or a character.
They were discovered and reported, it's not that it doesn't make sense, it's just less satisfying for many people. You could have had the stormtroopers be the ones who boarded Hans' ship in the first place. They could have been led by Captain Phasma, and she could have had a history with Han. I understand that I am now advocating for the destruction of my previous reparations. But they were always conditioned on nothing else really changing, which is not an option when it comes to repairing this history. I will talk more about this topic. and more as we go But Han Solo in just a few minutes has taken a major beating in terms of character consistency.
He can't even remember who he owes money to and who he didn't pay in the past. But I'm sure the writers expected that. that little bit to make you laugh is the idea that it's okay for a major plague to be permanently placed on a character or group of enemies as long as it makes you laugh. I spent that Han says he didn't get his money because he spent he's hunting rathtars But if he's using that as an excuse then surely that means they're the people he's taking the anger tolls on, for example if my landlord asked me about the rent and told him that buying food is expensive why would I expect the landlord I wouldn't care unless of course I was buying it at the landlord's request specifically comparatively.
Why would these factions care if it's expensive to capture our raft unless they were the people he was capturing them for, in which case surely capturing three of them would be proof of who he is? Not only doing the job he was hired to do, but he can also provide at least part of the payment, but the scene is strange because Harm makes it clear that Tsar Rathtar is for someone else. So who knows what's going on, before I close this scene, I'd like to highlight the dialogue or at least part of it. Han is the guy who can get out of anything is dealing with mind masters and of course he is defeated as we lose focus on the particular back and forth of the scene.
You hear the exchange quite a bit, Sublime, anyway, back to this guy, the only reason we saw him share this information so directly is to set up the next scene, the introduction of a character who will be the focal point of each significant change from the original. trilogy But there is no reason for the hair there. I think it speaks to who she is. You know, not directly, but she suits him very well. The appearance is very appropriate. Introducing Supreme Leader Snoke, shrouded in mystery, sitting on a throne from which he commands. The First Order Snoke is apparently the being who brought the First Order to his current position while he took down Luke and the New Jedi Order.
Whatever it is, this sort of thing can work well depending on how it's supported, which of course we'll come to one. Day Kylo Hux and Snoke are discussing strategy. Now the heroes have escaped and it is clear that they escaped as a result of Huck failing to capture the droid. The droid will soon be handed over to the resistance. Leading them to the last Jedi. responsibility I personally think that sending two stormtroopers and two fighters was more to blame for the escape, not to mention the loss of the escapees for no reason. Both when they crashed and when they left the planet, but there we are, it's very strange that Hux takes the blame. here, when Kylo clearly has power over the first order to send units, as I said above, Kylo was placed on the character shelf only to be released again later.
We already know that he would be in the personal search for the droid with how much investment. he has the map and yet here he is sitting in some rooms staring at a wall of lights. I want that map for your sake. I should get it. He seems to be aware of the situation. Which means he was fine with sending such a small map. number of soldiers for this job But the distance he takes from this mission frees him from guilt because he also complains about Huck's abilities. He's very confusing to put together, but I guess he gives credence to those who say Huck was always incompetent.
Looking at Huck as he is, we are seeing a singularly confident but relatively arrogant general in his pursuits. The only time he shows significant concern is when the planet he is on is about to explode when he confronts Kylo and Snoke. He defends himself. He stands his ground, but the choice to send such a small force to recover the droid makes no sense. If anything, he would expect Huck to overcompensate. He would probably send an army to collect a map like him and Kylo. he did it at first unless that opening was set up exclusively by Kylo, ​​you know, he spearheaded the mission and overcompensated only to now leave it to Huck even though they seem to share command in this movie.
But who knows what that will look like in the future? Stick with Huck, although his character and his failures in the Last Jedi are translated as if they were a retcon of his character precisely because it contradicts what we know about his choice to target an uninhabited document-rich base to take instead of a mobile base. nearest that contains the vast majority of living resistance, or how about we choose to engage in a slow chase when there are plenty of other options available? Apparently he also understands the hyperdrive onslaught, but he doesn't see it coming until it's too late.
And on top of that, he has all his ideas thrown to the ground because he is so pathetic. And now he plays it for laughs. This is the only decision. That's close to failure in the Force Awakening. And I don't think one can define it that way with the strange information we are given. So, to explain the decisions made by Huck in the Last Jedi, we have to staple a trait of total incompetence onto him to prevent our own cognitive dissonance. Does this sound familiar or does it make him a traitor to the first order? Could something happen to reinforce my point?
Let's go on a tangent and cross-reference a scene from the Last Jedi. When discussing Holder's decisions throughout the film, she refuses to tell Poe about her plan because she believes it is reckless and that the plan could be in jeopardy if he knew. This is not a complete line of logic from the audience's point of view. This is why many assumed she was a villain or a mole before the subversion took place. There is no clear concern on her part about what Poe would do with knowledge of the plan. There was no reason to assume that PO would say the first order even though of course the information escapes thanks to fin, meaning this is not a decision out of necessity, but rather a negligible concern.
She harbors as a result of a critical vision of Poe Dameron. opinion which is later shown to be irrelevant compared to other feelings she has for him. I like it. Thank you. But it's even worse than that because she ends up asking not the details but that there is a plan, that there is hope and she still refuses to say anything more than a platitude. She'd rather people believe that. the several deaths up to that point are part of the plan. This leaves her team despondent and frustrated, leading to a mutiny with more members than Poe.
It also leaves the audience confused as to whether she simply dislikes Poe excessively or any of the team for that matter or she is simply evil, which again is contradictory writing that allows for the subplot and final act. But even if we ignore that, Poe operates to save the resistance and gets involved in a plan. She then she says that she will do it. It was just what she would want only for her to react with indignation in hopes of putting an end to her plan, which naturally pushes Poe to make a decision that will save everyone's lives.
He carries out a mutiny with his fellow resistance fighters and this is where we have to pause. Just so everyone understands this interaction because of how poorly written it was and how horrible Lee becomes in this scene, everyone knows that using the Hyperdrive would mean putting everyone in the resistance in a guaranteed grave. So let's play. They speed away without a base to arrive safely. The first order will immediately go after them with the tracker and this time they will have no fuel to reach their own little one. There's nothing worse than that. The result is having only one person. in an escape pod while that happens would be a preferable plan.
So something has to be done. Holder recognizes that through Poe's decision to take over the ship and take control of the command center, she will push the lever to enter hyperspace and doom them all to death. and he is extremely close to doing so, this means that during the riot scene, Hall Doe had a choice. She didn't have a good choice, but she had a choice: tell Poe the plan now and save everyone's lives, even at the risk of the plan being leaked. via Poe to Someone at some point or stay silent and everyone dies even at the risk of Poe being a mole.
He will tell the first order of his plan. Sure, but that would result in a fight in the box instead of the immediate destruction of the resistance. What do you think is the best option other than it's not mentioned that she believes? In fact, he's a mole in the movie. It's quite the opposite, but the narrative and framing scream at us that she is right to hide the plan from him. Even though all logic points in the other direction, that's why people defend it at all costs. Wait, don't say it. Poha planned what you like. Do you really think that's okay?
Yes Yes. So your reasoning would be because she doesn't trust him? Yeah, so why doesn't he tell anyone else? We don't know who he tells. Alright. Alright. Why doesn't she tell him the plan once she knows the transports are getting fuel? What difference would there be? Hmm, the idea of ​​something being framed to make sense and be fair even though everything the narrative points the other way is a whole issue in itself and for some reason Disney Star Wars has it in? abundance? How about a reverse example where something is presented as bad? Despite being the best choice they had at the beginning of the Last Jedi, Poe made the right choice and yet he is punished with a demotion and a slap.
Framing alone the way the narrative presents that decision is enough for people to simply believe it was that way. a bad decision Despite the reality of the situation It was reckless that made Leia slap him What was it that he did that made him sleep maybe not at Jordan's drinks table? He still saved this entire fleet. So, the movie tells us that those things can destroy the most raddies at very great distances. Meaning that if the Dreadnought had accompanied them when they ambushed and then Destroyed, why would Leia call the bag? She's just an idiot. Here's the thing, so you said Leia slapped him, and by virtue of Leia slapping him, you believe she has done something reckless rather than Leia being wrong.
It's more about considering the events yourself as the variables. The choice is made by which characters with what information and concluding what made sense with solid references rather than simply believing it made sense because the story tells you so, however there is a common counterargument that stands out during these types of Just Because No discussions. you would that decision does not mean that thecharacter wouldn't have the irony that a writer told them this character would make this decision and they bought him for that reason alone. They treat history as law, whether or not it provides contradictory information to the Many apologists have argued that this decision was actually flawed on Holder's part, but that it was established that way and therefore plays out consistently in character terms.
Think about that for a moment instead of accepting that this is a bad choice. To drive the drama, the writers are determined to justify the nonsensical writing by arguing that a character who is in charge of the entire Resistance Force has the same level of intelligence as Homer Simpson. He took a wine making course and forgot to drive. So why is this relevant? Well, now we also have Huck being established as a cold and efficient general in the first film, but in the second they turn him into a clown and the justification is quickly becoming that he is stupid.
He was always stupid. There is an episode of The Simpsons called "It's the fifteenth season where Homer has promised to buy his family a Christmas tree with my recently walked in while they are buying gifts for each other. However, Homer discovers a talking astrolabe with various technological abilities that impress you right away. They are essentially useless features for both of you and your family, but you end up buying it anyway. This is our best talking astrolabe. It also comes with a notepad and a pen that works backwards. choice that the family could benefit from and only later realizes how selfish it was and tries to make up for it in the rest of the episode Now, does it make sense that Homer would buy that Astrolabe after a salesman spends a few seconds on it. explain its benefits.
Homer Simpson is one of the iconic representations of stupidity, it is the basis of his character. He is not a general of the greatest force ever seen in the universe. Is he admiral? He's your average Joe, but much stupider and will make decisions that won't benefit him or his loved ones if he's convinced of his worth. Thanks to his lack of critical thinking, so the equivalent with Homer would be for him to display relatively high intelligence in the However, moments that facilitate a dramatic plot. His moments of intelligence are usually used as a joke. Trying to convince your audience that there is solid writing because a character intentionally makes a blatant mistake when it has been contradictory.
Lee has proven to be quite intelligent will cause cognitive dissonance in his viewer if you need someone to make stupid decisions then use a character that has been established that way if you need someone to make smart decisions then use a character that has been established that way way we would be honored if you would join us in the conclusion Admiral Hold Oh, and General Hux are not Homer Simpson, I'm glad we discussed moving forward. Snoke then says that Luke Skywalker will give rise to additional Jedi and that is why they must find the droid before he ends up in the hands of the resistance, that way they can get to Luke. first and kill him she hugs him and then recommends destroying the rebellion with his new weapon to paralyze the Resistance and prevent them from finally reaching Skywalker.
Snoke agrees and that leaves me completely baffled. Person, we have never met once to find and kill another person. He hasn't been seen for decades and he plans to knock out the galactic government to do it, okay? Why because I could train Jedi? It's not that it's an instant process. That? Well, it's not supposed to be like that, but hey, you know what? There's just evidence that you don't need Luke to create a Jedi army anyway. It seems to me that Snoke is only after Luke because of how much the audience knows and he loves Luke on a meta level.
This allows writers to skip the box and invent a high-stakes situation based on name recognition alone. There is no Jedi other than Luke and we know that he has isolated himself on an island where he intends to die. So what threatens? is Luke at this point, especially when he's nowhere near the good guys or the bad guys. What interactions did the First Order and Luke Skywalker have? Considering Finn barely has any idea who the heroes from thirty years ago are, other than recognizing Han as a general of the rebellion and was raised in the first order.
Well, anyway apparently Luke will start training new Jedi the moment he returns and the Jedi are all that stand in Snoke's way despite his incredible power, but why wouldn't he smoke? He understands why Luke left when Kylo was Luke's student and is now loyal to Snoke. Surely Snoke knows this. that Luke no longer wants anything to do with this world, but even with the rise of Skywalker we don't know these things. Who is Luke - Snoke who is Snoke - the Jedi It would be unreasonable to expect answers to these questions so soon after the first scene with Snoke but disconcertingly they are not even close to being answered two films later, regardless of whether Snoke decides that Hux Is right. and they must prevent Luke from being contacted, which means that in this scene they are talking about the erasure of the galactic government, its military, and the Organization's malicious style armies operating outside of, but not in opposition to, said government solely to prevent that they find.
Luke Skywalker writers explain this as justifying the need to destroy the Republic Now rather than any of the other years prior to the events of this film. The first order doesn't really need a reason beyond domination, does it want to rule like the newly reformed Empire? So why make this about Luke? You could just say that the weapon was completed in the last few hours and therefore we can carry out our evil plans and destroy. The other faction, Huck, says that he believes now is the time to use the weapon to destroy the Republic, thus cutting off support for the resistance.
Thus preventing the resistance from reaching Skywalker. I don't know if you noticed, but the objective list is completely backwards in terms of justification instead of stopping the discovery of Skywalker going after the Republic. They should target the Republic first, considering that they are threatening the power. and influence Then the minor faction known as the resistance, considering how powerful rebellions can be and should ultimately crush Skywalker should he return or train New Jedi to fight them. The reason this is backwards is twofold: the writers are concerned about audience recognition, while also looking to have some planets justifiably explode in this story, having the plot focus on destroying the Republic, which makes more sense, it will give them their explosion, but most of the audience will wonder what the Republic is.
Is it like the Resistance? What would it mean for them to leave? And so, the ultimate goal for both factions is to get to Luke Skywalker, which makes the plot very easy to follow. Luke Skywalker Luke Luke Luke Skywalker Luke Luke is a Jedi Luke Luke Scott pastor Luke deck master Luke falou quickly They needed a Luke Skywalker type target to return to. In key moments of the film, to stay on track, the full battles and destruction of planets are simply interesting spectacles along the way. Die-hard Star Wars fans will be especially confused as the Republic should be broadcast as such that a single system is being destroyed.
I shouldn't even be able to paralyze them. Not that we can know any of this since history has avoided the state of the world until now. Honestly, the structure of this scene is completely strange. But it was done very quickly and in an evil way. bad guy Contrives in a way that mostly escapes scrutiny and we accept the bad guys' goals almost entirely. Snoke says that there has been an awakening in the force and that the droid is currently with Kylos's father, Han Solo, on the Millennium Falcon. And he couldn't. I've read that line more for the audience.
Deliberately. The droid we are looking for is aboard the Millennium Falcon in your father's hands. Surely Kylo obviously knows that Han is his father. The people who don't know would be us. Because that connection alone will facilitate the biggest payoff in this movie. This type of information could be understood subtly before moving on to later scenes through dialogue sharing alternative information or even a flashback, but they decided that it was absolutely necessary to understand this information. Now, also, there is an allusion to Sith training in this scene. It would have been interesting to explore that. since no main Star Wars episode has delved into it.
But what are you going to do more interesting? The detail is that once Hux has offered his plan to Snoke and it is accepted, he gives Kylo a look as if to say he favors my ideas, this again adds to their conflict, a conflict that would have benefited from development but is abandoned in favor of the boss. Lackey Dynamics in the Sequel Then we return to the Millennium Falcon. The ship is in desperate need of hyperdrive maintenance and yet is capable of flying through hyperspace. There is an alert in the background that can apparently be quelled by booting something. of the ship itself Something Ray refers to as a bypass, which is ridiculous But the more contentious issue would be that Han is baffled by the repairs to his own ship anyway.
The drama is resolved and everyone is safe, so let's talk about what was probably intended. With this scene I see everyone referencing this moment for the purpose of showing that the writing of Rey's character is extremely flawed and is evidence of his consistent acting style, those

critique

s are amazingly accurate. However, if we ignore that topic for a moment, I want to explore an idea. about the writing and more specifically the characterization, put it on screen so they know that the story was going for something important when these two met and that is that Han is impressive to Rey.
She knows of his achievements, his Legendary status, and possibly respects him more for smuggling her than her time as a general being that there is potential camaraderie in her time. As a scavenger, I imagine both jobs are quite hard and relatively thankless. She even cites her achievement on Kessel as if she were a die-hard fan of her piloting. She then spends the time she has with him keeping up and trying to prove herself to him, often coming out ahead. Rey is trying to impress someone who could very well be a hero to her. And then when he's in a position where his ship is falling apart?
You could say that Han really panics and fixes it by doing something she knows he didn't think of and what her potential hero's reaction is. I overlooked the compressor. Rey has something of value to offer, honey, and he's impressed, but he's not sure he likes her. I think the point here is that Rey isn't getting the validation he wants from the hurt despite earning it and who he's bonding with. him quite quickly due to his desire for a father figure. From what we've seen, there's room to infer that Rey might have wanted her parents' appreciation for what she accomplished while they were away, as if to demonstrate why they should never have done it. she left her, you could say that she is applying potential to a stranger who is quickly becoming a father figure thanks to her story probably acting as a story of hope in her ordinary life.
This could be brilliant if it was developed, if it was delivered to more people. time more carefully But there is only one conclusion to come to when judging this as a package. Rey's attachment to Han here and in the future is empty and if we reverse engineer it, we know the writers rushed this payoff. Right here. It should go without saying, but when you want to create a compelling and intellectually satisfying emotional reward, you need to build towards it first. You need these people to come together to understand each other, learn from each other, trust and depend on each other.
Everything leads to that. the last good-bye. I Know Why You're Crying In The Force Awakens a lot of screen time is dedicated to the more dazzling side of the narrative, the execution of the battle is the explosions and death that give the audience that burst of shock and awe. Unfortunately, this leaves those character elements very little time to get into layers or details. But I'll go into a little more depth about Han and Rey later. There is a pattern to spot right now. And this is one of the most blatant examples of this for this scene to strike a chord. the audience They needed to connect Rey and Han on a personal level and they needed to do it quickly And that's why Rey surpasses Harn in his main skill later.
He provides him with validation for that despite being a secretive person by nature and if he relates that to raising parental issues, we've accomplished the development in about a minute. You may think it was mostly scathing, but they did come up with some potential. They are a way for these two characters to develop a relationship, but the ideacan only go so far without additional development without desperately desired time to flourish, not to mention the requirement of crippling Hans' character. So in exchange for a development piece that will support a later event. What had to happen, Rey completed critical maintenance of the Millennium Falcon to prevent its destruction in such a way that Han Solo didn't understand what the writers meant as a byproduct of a different writing goal.
I just brought Rey yet another achievement. I have already been alluding to this in certain sections of this series. But this scene is a great example of a pattern that Rey has been accumulating Attributes as a result of having to move forward with the story or it will end. developing interactions with the characters and by extension gives you another ability. But his credibility suffers every time this happens for every exceptional talent that is added to his repertoire. She becomes less and less human. I'm not convinced that Rey was made superhuman by design in the beginning, anyway, I think she's a byproduct of other decisions and they decided to move on.
This is evidenced by the fact that she is at her weakest point when we meet her and there is an implication that she has a difficult journey ahead of her only that from there her power level begins to rise in steps. enlarged There may have been a goal to keep her limited with a reward at the end in terms of strength, but the writers have been banking abilities on Rey when dealing with her. As a result, with other writing goals, we have what is essentially an unstoppably powerful character in relation to this world, especially at the end, this type of error is understood as common for many new writers when channeled into their work through a character that they turn into a creature. who is nice, loving, intelligent, impressive, helpful, proactive and loved by many, whether reasoned or not.
These are preferable qualities and when you combine them with a character who doesn't have any kind of lasting or significant flaws or flaws, as well as excelling in many situations that require specific skills, you get what is commonly known as a Mary Sue like me. I'm sure many of you have already heard it. Am I saying JJ and Lawrence were trying to get on Ray? I have no idea that I'm not inside his head, but I'd say there's plenty of evidence to assume something a little different. Ray seems to be a wish-fulfillment character. She's not necessarily what JJ wants to be.
She seems to be what the audience. would want to be if they were in this universe, especially when we look back at the entire trilogy. She's personally trained by the cape, helps get Luke back on his hero path, not to mention adopting the name Skywalker, and last but not necessarily least, she's impressive to Han Solo. So let's focus on the one where she has provided the highly effective mechanic attribute of the Millennium Falcon to establish this relationship with Han that will result in a significant reward. This is something we can break down further once we have more examples for now.
Let's move on to the character as a full beam is coming out of the introductory stage of the story in preparation for the later parts. But she has nothing in terms of boundaries or mistakes to maintain. Keeping in mind that future payments will only give her character even more power. She makes less and less sense to make this easier to understand, we can compare her with the deuteragonist of the story, Finn. Yes, he is secondary to the protagonist, but he is still a protagonist of sorts as well. Put it on the screen so anyway, at this point in the movie we get quite a few lightning attributes, whether they make sense or not.
She has been poking around alone effectively. in many ways for a long time despite the harsh and dangerous environment. Despite this, she has been rescuing others. The very real risks. She has been protecting others even when she was offered a strong job. She has quite a formidable talent in combat despite her build and lack of a master. She is quick-witted and calm under pressure. She is an extremely talented pilot of the Millennium Falcon despite her own claims and having never flown it before. She is multilingual despite the serious impracticality of Wookiee as a language in Jakku.
She shows intelligent use of the tools at her disposal. elimination She displays an intimate knowledge of the Falcons' functionality despite having never flown it. She is aware of the precautions and fixes taken for leaking coolant, fuel pumps and ignition compressors, which ends with a cruel tear of a component that seemingly saves the day for everyone. the surprise and lack of understanding of Han Solo, the ship's former owner. We'll explore the origin behind these traits when we move on to the plot in a few years. But I should point out that this ride is after just 52 minutes. of the film in which Rey appears in a fraction of Rey is downright impressive in every scene as time passes, as a result, the audience may wonder what her purpose or message is as a character.
Maybe she's proof that you can be amazing without learning anything. stuff. You can have enormous untapped talent and at the same time be extremely kind, intelligent, and heroic. Well, we'll get to that aspect in a second for now. Let's move on to Finn. Finn has shown us his own attributes. He can't stand a senseless death, but he is smart enough to try to hide it. He cannot stand innocence being tortured and therefore saves a prisoner. Unfortunately, he fails to go unnoticed. He performs the rescue successfully until he becomes distracted and causes the ship to be shot down.
He desperately flees to a local village and fights to stay alive, although he manages to do so by finding a less than preferable water reserve while being chased. He receives a strong uppercut to the face and is interrogated. He manages to lie, successfully, and attempts to take control of the situation. Then, he happily synergizes with a local and uses the brief knowledge of him to escape the situation. It leads him to try to evade a selection of live meatballs and almost dies once again, while he maintains some dignity, intelligence, and a decisive nature despite falling. Consistently and generally looking a bit goofy most of the time, he's decent with a blaster, brave at times if not confused, and ultimately very flawed.
This is simplistic but has much more nuance and potential than Rey. It doesn't mean it's as simple as having adversities or options. You can have character writing go wrong for many reasons. Without realizing it, you could change your character and his traits 180 degrees without progression. so that his story has a higher purpose, ultimately murdering the character in favor of his own ideals, whether or not he has decisions to make or there is adversity to overcome. Another option would be to have a character actively learn lessons about something specific that doesn't correlate to an important topic. election later in the story.
This is representing your character without an informational setup that betrays cause and effect even though there is a choice and adversity to overcome. What if the characters are portrayed as one thing despite all the evidence? pointing out another, this can dismantle the evaluation and the audience would create a conflict between what the story shows and what the story says, this leads us to a meaningless reality, whether there is a choice or adversity present or not, These are just standard general themes, but a long character story with lots of payoffs and development details is why most of us love watching these things.
We love watching the journey. You can connect with these people as if they were real or at least respect who they are and how they got there when you look back on the journey of layered but consistent fictional characters that you will hold on to or at least reference many of. their major moments, moments where they had to make difficult decisions, and moments where they show a side of themselves. We could only have previously inferred Crazy Pepper finally knows what I have to do. I know in my heart that it is right. I wanted to take you to the sea and let the waves wash you.
Instead, I let you live because you're a Lannister. My government has ordered me to go to you and ask you. Sanctuary. The magic you channeled is more fierce and primal than anything could hope to understand and you're lucky to be alive, you're an arrogant amateur. You're right. I'm very powerful and maybe it's not such a good idea to make me angry. Many great characters have many of these rewards, but the moments have been very few without the journey that got them there, the development that builds a scenario for these rewards to be realized. Intellectually satisfying and emotionally devastating, you could highlight each of these moments on a timeline and plot where the character started, where they progressed, and where they stagnated.
As something else, it brings you much closer to seeing them as real, since this is the same process. would use to evaluate relationships in real life when defining a person. We observe your choices Imagine a friend or partner who shares your interests and at the same time is extremely untrustworthy and/or toxic, a person who is kind when you are in a good mood but cruel when it is not irrelevant to your participation and, on the other hand, On the other hand, you could have someone amazing after thinking about all the decisions they have made in your interest before their own, showing you love and care where they don't strictly benefit from it or feel uncomfortable in achieving something you want.
Chances are everyone has met at least one of these people in their lives and in any case, you can look back at all the decisions they've made to create a pattern, you can evaluate the moments that define them as a character for you, this same process. It is often used to judge how consistent characters are, their personal continuity is key, minor changes when appropriate and major changes only when sufficiently informed, but everything requires reference to the past to become something more meaningful to a person than a simple fiction that connects to an intense degree. on a personal level it can be an indicator that constant writing is present accuracy for real life people real life journeys and real life emotions and ultimately elevate character do not reflect very well to real people The fact is that many refer to fiction as a window into another living world in which to see how stories unfold, but that it is often ineffective as a description because it implies a clear line between what is portrayed and what we experience. .
They are definitely separated in that metaphor. Therefore, others find that storytelling is more of a mirror reflection of our own world. Giving us the opportunity to learn and connect with fictional events that expose lessons about humanity that plague and adorn our very real lives. As a bonus, we get to see worlds. incredible or creative settings designed to entertain, but when the foundation of the fiction is broken when the characters and world fail to meet the quality of writing required to recreate the life we ​​have all come to experience, it can be a major problem. As I said when moving away from a broad sense, who does it?
Mirror She is too unrealistic in terms of ability, luck, and behavior considering her history. She is like a ghost in the mirror. There is no meat in her story. Could you honestly predict how Ray would react to real-life situations? This is something I covered in more depth in the last Jedi review, but the fact that Ray is so lacking in substance means we can't even imagine how he would approach scenarios. Other characters have motivations, blind spots, prejudices, and intentions. This means we can wait for them. act in favor of those things when you go through a scenario.
But Ray is missing that detail. A bland environmental plot or lack thereof can often reveal how empty a character is because he has nothing to react to or pursue, this leaves the character to rely on. What defines them, which in Ray's case is Nada, fair proof of this is the idea of ​​bottle episodes on television. Where you crush well-established characters because their identities bounce off each other is enough to guide you through the time code in terms of entertainment. Every topic that is presented and every scenario that is addressed gets a unique spin from each of the characters since Everyone wants and needs a lot of different things, just like people do.
Exactly what type of contaminant are we dealing with here? What do you mean fly home? We say. I mean, I'm thinking like a Lalique turbo or something. Ebola was just seen on the Discovery Channel where all your intestines just fall out of your ass. Thank you. I know what bolli knows. So if I took it, it's theft, but if you find it in mother hen, it's a mistake, mother Hannah. I think we are about the same age. Unless time is linear You're going to eat me poor, yeah, right. Oh, a little lonely. Someone hereDo you recognize anyone?
I'm the guy who's going to be kicking a lot of ass. Someone don't tell me what's going on. What did they call you for short? I'm from the Warden Academy in south Hampshire. In fact, I happen to be the leader. Wow, I wonder how you got that nickname. A lot of effort. I don't mind saying that I hate wall-to-wall battle episodes. Facial expression. And the emotional nuances imagine that I sit in a corner with a bucket on my head. Can you even imagine these scenarios with Ray? She would have to spend them explaining her wants, her needs, and her general goals in life because we require that information to have some kind of direct line to how she approaches situations from there, you can bet she will be nice to people and will want to go to home most of the time, but other than that, you can't bottle her up with the characters because she's not a character.
She is much more like a sentient accessory. Of course. That doesn't mean you can't like her, she really seems like a good person, which is enough to warrant a smile when she's on screen, but connecting with her on a personal level is very difficult, especially with each of her accumulated successes. How's Finn? Well, let's criticize Finn's consistency in the future. But for now, let's focus on the surface level. Finn has already made many decisions that reveal his sense of morality. Oddly enough, he is relatively calm and looking to get started. a happy and peaceful life at any opportunity.
Because of the life he came from, he is more interested in getting along with people, even if that means lying. He will not deceive people to the point that they might be hurt by who you think I have been. you're talking about? no resistance I'm not a hero Finn is relatively agile, heroic and brave, if not a bit reckless and clumsy. He could see him as a real person who has a daily life on earth and I don't even think he's particularly well written. Then why? Does Rey not work the same way? Well, it all comes down to a few simple questions.
Starting all with you here. We don't know why Rey is here. We don't know what he values, what kind of history he may have had and we don't know yes or no. He takes a toll on the personality we see now despite spending possible decades alone in this desert. In reality, he reminds me of a completely different character of a completely different medium appearance without these foundations. The audience is absolutely waiting for those pieces of information so they can start making a decision about whether they like Rey or not, which is why many viewers say they have no feelings for Rey.
It's hard to get excited about a character with so little development but so much emotion. Perhaps that explains the rampant theorizing fans want to feel about her, as they have for so many protagonists over the years, which must be sad for the writers at Lucasfilm to think that Rey is a fascinating character case study. and with an expanded look at all three. Sequel movies are on the way. I feel like there's a lot to learn from her in terms of what not to do. Anyway, if we're inside an SAE, let's continue during this scene. We had a couple of happy moments with Finn and Chewie.
Many point out that it is strange that Finn does not recognize a Wookiee. He's baffled by the species when he probably shouldn't be, since we know that the Empire not only crushed the Wookiees, but used them as slaves in more ways than one for years. You would think they would receive some kind of history or training on alien species. But who knows? Whether you enjoy this humor almost depends on whether or not you've decided the movie is for you at this point. Arguably it's still terrifying for Finn. He is making light of the scenario. He is executed in slapstick form, whether he laughs or not.
The movie tries to make you connect more with Finn moments after we get a quick line from Chewie. He's probably apologizing for getting shot. Just rest, this is a fitting reminder of Chewbacca and Hans' relationship, they have been a team for a long time and no matter what they will take care of each other, which is important to reaffirm what is to come. King. She explains to Han that she is a scavenger and that Finn is resisting, this gives him pause for thought. It's unclear if this moment is just for the audience, a sort of nod that Han is too smart to be fooled by Finn.
But I find it strange that Han seems to know that Finn isn't resistance yet. He's okay with Finn B leaving. Wouldn't you be worried about someone pretending to be the resistance if Finn was a first-rate mole? In fact, it would explain a lot of what Han has seen and I love that. He's basically saying I have your number and I know who you are. I know what you're dealing with. Well then why trust him to stay free and clear on the ship? Maybe Han is still somewhat intelligent, but not as careful in his old age anyway.
They take a look at the map that bb-8 has according to Han. It's incomplete. The map is actually just a part of the map and searching for Luke is something people have been doing since he disappeared. since Luke disappeared People looking for this are as clumsy now as they were when I did the unbridled rage. You can't actually try to find a missing person until they're gone, but the line is written and spoken ominously as reinforcements that Luke is really missing and I imagine that's the point, from a will-building standpoint. , is to support the origin of the map Luke is hiding in the mysterious arch: he discovered the location somehow and that's why people want the map that takes you to the arch. - to get to it, many were looking and that's what it took us - tecar because its part of the map helps you reach the arch - instead of Luke, but either way Technically it's a map for Luke and it's for that everyone refers to it as such, but that doesn't come close to answering anything substantial about the map's origin or the connective tissue between Episodes 6 and 7, and both sequels are no help in that regard.
Although upon returning, Han offers a brief summary of Luke's time between the film's episodes. He tried to train new Jedi and one student turned on him and destroyed everything. Luke felt responsible and walked away from everything with the rumors that he had gone to the first Jedi Temple. Han then confirms that the Jedi's strength is darkness and light. They are all real, of course. They have been written out of the story of this story and no one knows that these things really existed. For some reason, Finn is very surprised by this information when not a day ago he saw someone use the force right in front of him a character who I imagined uses it quite a bit, many will try to compare this to the fact that the forces were seen as a remnant of a sad dead religion in a new hope only 19 years after the destruction of the Jedi, which I must remind you that the bad guys won and consolidated the power they had two decades to control. narrative and dominate as the new power in the world, they crushed the Jedi, crushed them into a sad dead religion and any ignorant officer could make that comment without understanding the finer details of what happened and could be punished for it .
But he would admit it. that it is unlikely that this officer is not fully aware of Vader's potential, regardless of the progression of events, religion being crushed into oblivion is not something that has happened here yet. The Republic is still in power and has been for decades, not to mention the loss of any knowledge of the Jedi is not something Luke would allow. I mean, we actually know that he didn't allow it by continuing the Jedi Order, but the stories of apparently the OT didn't spread very well (Luke's teachings were isolated in a temple and apparently nothing beyond that was addressed in the universe even though the world was liberated by a Jedi.
I guess not many people were interested in knowing about the guy who saved the galaxy or what a Jedi really was. Okay, do it your way. Just don't try to spin this with another story that spreads like wildfire to inspire the world later, especially when that story is downright bullshit when you back out and want to create your own legends, I get it, but you can't do that As you humiliate and destroy the legends that came before you, they are the reason you have this opportunity in the first place. One more moment as a filmmaker, whether in the process of writing the script or filming something.
Do you feel the transition from being a fan or feeling ownership as a filmmaker of the Star Wars movie you were making? Oh, I'm still waiting for that moment to happen Well, then moving on, our heroes arrive at Takodana with the intention of finding an ally to help with the delivery of BB-8 to the Resistance and General Leia when we arrive, Raysh, it's something I did . He didn't know there was so much green all over the Pontoons car to look at her with a face that says a lot about what he's thinking: this girl has essentially been locked up in a junkyard.
There has been a planet for so long that even seeing grass is an incredible experience for her. This will inform the decision Han is already making. Ray has experience in mechanics and piloting. To the extent that he can help maintain the falcon and will appreciate it. Every last new thing they could visit together and at the same time be reverent for Han's previous exploits. So why not hire her to not mention this? The reaction to the simple trees and grass is true to Ray's story and, even though it lasts about five seconds of the movie, it's a great character moment for them.
Both. Not just Ray, as it is reaffirmed that Han Solo cares about people other than himself. That's how he is. It's a flash of the potential this trilogy had and the value in bringing the character to the forefront rather than betraying them early. After we see Finn. Trying to find out if he will be safe in this new area. Asking if there are any top sympathizers who could cause trouble. We, as an audience, know that he is actually worried about being recognized as a first-rate member. His desperation drives him. to try to have a sense of authority in front of Han to get answers from him, Shino.
I'm a big deal in resistance that puts a real target on my back, listen. Thanks Another problem Always find out the truth. This would probably be a strong character moment if all we knew about Finn was what we learned from watching him since the crash landing. Finn is trying to lead the stage, but he slips up and can't control it because he's not as confident or experienced as handicapped by a risky shot, nor because he's knowledgeable, which matches what we've learned about him in the last half hour. But when considering his history, this interaction seems quite strange.
In theory, Finn would not only be trusting and loyal but cautious and intelligent. when it comes to hiding his identity. It wouldn't be something light. It's life or death for him as the conversation progresses. He realizes that the damage can be seen through it. It will only be a matter of time before the Raiders do damage and then use Finn's own words against him, stripping him of any sense of greatness. This also helps represent a small amount of development between them later on. Although there are some bumps in Finn's cognitive dissonance that we're getting to and the damage is that not being interested in finding out what Finn's goals are can be quite distracting.
Regardless of what we have come to what he is. In one of the film's strongest scenes, Han gives Rey a gun because he's convinced she can take care of herself and he clearly respects her, which is an interesting connection to her initial character. Han was equipped with his weapon and his wits. He knows she's smart. And now she's got a gun to boot, possibly giving the audience the expectation that Rey will be the new Han. Especially since we've been given reason to assume Finn could be the new Luke. But, of course, we know that is not the case. result.
You have a name King. Again, a warm moment between these two that brings Han closer to Rey and vice versa. Especially when she realizes he's giving her a chance at a job. I'm thinking that at first she's excited only to reject him because she wants to. return to jakku This, of course, is not used as a conflict beyond the next scene with Mars because the plot never puts Rey in a position where she needs to make a decision between returning home and protecting the people or seeking adventure. , but again the plot does present. this choice to Rey at the end of the movie But it's not understood that way since Rey just goes with the flow anyway, it's a shame Chewie likes you.
Another strong but minor character moment. Can Ray recognize that Han is saying that he? He personally wants her there without him saying it. This is the kind of dialogue that suits Han Solo. She doesn't like to show emotional attachment without a sense of distance. We even see Han trying to give him subtle lessons early on as he accidentally points her gun at him. So with all theselittle benefits together It's a great start to what could be considered a pretty meaningful relationship between father and daughter, demonstrating something about what makes a father and the potential path to Ray.
Realize that you don't need to wait for your biological parents to belong. She can find that out through anyone who cares about her and vice versa. But the reality is that with the end of this scene, we have completed the development of Ray and Hans. It's over and it's a shame since they were doing relatively well in this movie. in the time they had dedicated to this particular relationship. Let's imagine for a second that we have a scene after much more development in which Rage chooses Han Solo instead of his absent parents, a man who is willing to act as a mentor.
Maybe Finn will be captured in his place. from Ray because he is a traitor and is ready to be interrogated for information he revealed or obtained while he was the first or to try to understand how he defected. This could lead to major confrontation lines for Kylo and Finn to share the Vader wannabe. someone who has discovered his values ​​and will now never back down from them. Meanwhile, Han Chewie and Rey can work to rescue him, giving them time to bond and explore the world. Han's death in what could be the film's sequel will not only act as loss. of a father Rey thought she had found But the sheer motivation to hunt and kill Kylo Ren that led her to power she had never felt before Something she spent her life without after several failures in history.
She might become bitterly resentful when Finn is finally rescued. She might find her unrecognizable compared to the girl he was falling in love with. This is one of millions of different stories that can be followed. What we get throughout this entire trilogy, the wasted potential of her, Rey was blocked by Han, but after he realized that she hadn't. I haven't seen many green things. He goes crazy for wanting her expelled; wanting to hire her, this gives Ray acceptance. We only knew she wanted a few minutes ago and that brings these two together before we rely heavily on that connection.
She had to have more events to think about. More for them to relate to, more moments in which they help each other, in which they can teach each other more about the harm to participate in before her death, outside of that criticism? However, I want to take a moment to say that this is a consistent scene where we stay silent and the characters have to share something. However small, this is the kind of thing we have in abundance for OT and it's the kind of thing that is so absent in TR OS that the action scenes end up fighting each other to be on screen.
It's also the kind of thing which is desperately ignored in the last Jedi in favor of revisionist history broken moralizing baseless confusion and shaming There was never any of that really Calm down the reflective moments in the film like there were in the originals, like looking at the multiple suns and you know , none of that kind of stuff. Why do you think people often refer to these moments when discussing what the most significant aspects of the original are? trilogy are they? We need to know what a character thinks, why they think it, and what it means to those around them.
This is what I mean when I comment on what is missing in the development of the new films, these scenes act as stepping stones. Progression stones Not only do they provide a pause in the pace of the story, but they provide insight into the characters' motivations, values, and goals. Sometimes it's about being still and doing less and as someone you often know is cutting quickly and moving the camera a lot, my thought was not just to look, but George Lucas or Kershner did it, you know, and and, in a way, well, let's take what you know about Star Wars, but let's look at some of the influences that they and all of us have had. through the years and just to rewatch some of John Ford's great films.
You know the errand seekers. Liberty valance. You know Grapes of Wrath or to watch some of Kurosawa's movies and, you know, see. You know some of those close-ups that. he comes in, you know, Seven Samurai or Jimbo looks at you high and low, you know what they talk about in education, I mean those who just watch those movies. It's not just entertaining, but they are so powerful and their confidence was just a good reminder. To approach storytelling in a way that's not just, you know, about speed. There are a lot of fast things that happen in In this movie there is a lot of action.
But it's also important to let it breathe. JJ recognizes how important it is, but he chose to have the bare minimum so his Special Effects Extravaganza could continue. Anyway, let's move on to the technical issues during this scene. We get what honestly appears to be some ADR with a strong purpose. ADR stands for automatic dialogue replacement and means that actors enter recording lines that overlap the finished ones. scenes to make corrections or add new content, you could inadvertently have a bad take on set or you could have forgotten to include a part of the script exposition, the most important thing for this, so the audio quality is very obviously different and many times the lip sync will be off OR the characters will not be facing the screen to hide it.
For example, the first order wants the map to be Finn with resistance. I'm just a scavenger. Let's see it one more time. The first order wants the map Finn is with the resistance I'm just a scavenger, the force awakens' employs this technique more than I've noticed in any of the other films in the saga Often for exposition and small corrections to the script that Curiously, It's something I do a lot in my videos. It's often frustrating to listen to you because I can hear it so easily, but re-recordings are often very necessary. For clarity and consistency, as many things change during production.
The reason I mention ADR is that there is a pretty important set piece here The characters move from the Falcon to the cantina and there is a discussion that explains a lot of the plot Does anyone wonder why or how the Falcon was damaged, maybe Is this same method available for the first order? Does anyone wonder why they are in this cantina? Well, all these questions are answered right here. I guess it was luck that Chewie and I found the Falcon. We can find it on our scanners. First orders. Not far away, I want to get bb-8 for the resistance.
Canalis, as a result, is our best bet. of this disposable line. The Falcon is now engaged by Lee. You can be scammed by anyone at any time and it's only a matter of time before whoever you're looking for finds you. According to Han, this may explain many of our questions, but as usual with Disney Wars. generates some new ones. The Falcon is no longer a viable escape method in any sensible sense of the word. Han found the Falcon because he was scanning and the first order can do the same thing, in fact, if we keep going.
Then the first order could find. resistance base if they were looking for the Falcon at the right time, the only reason our heroes came to this cantina is because they want a ship that isn't going to be scanned. Apparently, so of course they still have these two. the characters call it So the scanner is not the wife, she is meeting in takodana But we can get to that in a minute going back to ADR. You can imagine why this line was served in terms of delivery. Helps explain in a big way. parts of the plot we deal with how and why Chewie found the Falcon now later in the dialogue they were looking for it in a scanner.
You see, even JJ is aware that he has to justify his own choices in his story. He even seems to be. proud of it when you think it's been explained in your script, but this proactive attitude is left aside when it comes to most of the other elements of this script and, as we've discussed, most attempts to plug the holes in this franchise force leaks in other areas. the first is that a device was always needed to consistently track a ship and now it's just a matter of getting a signature to scan and that's it, but doing this creates problems for the foreseeable future as well as previous events, nothing new in that sense.
The sad part is that you could have had one of these guys throw a tracker at the Falcon to explain how the first order in takodana was founded from there. You have Maz Kanata, contact the resistance, as we have seen, she can do it so that everything remains the same, simply structured with a cause. and effect instead of bad luck. But then how does Han find the Falcon in our rewrite? Well, you could have Finn and Rey accidentally access a secure system on the Falcon when they're trying to find a solution to escape the First Order.
They could trip something Harned placed there for safety years ago and after he calls them, they could make a deal to get help regarding the Resistance and we're back on track. I mean, they could even travel to their new ship and when they get there, it will be under siege from one of the factions we saw earlier. And now, if I desperately want to keep the scene with the fun meatballs going. You still can. Instead, we have this and a bunch of new questions. So Haun is still aware of this Falcon flaw. He wants it for what?
Sentimentality is simply getting a new ship or deleting the frequency you currently have. I don't believe for a second that a smuggler would want his ship to be an infamous galaxy-chasing ship, especially when they already have plenty of reasons to hate him. In fact, they couldn't. Did the Republic fix this for him in some kind of space car? I mean they could at least provide him with a new ship as a reward for the droid, right? I know they were advancing, but he admitted that they could find the Falcon as easily as he could, so he actively endangered his old friend, his livelihood, and his resistance base.
That seems incredibly silly and downright malicious, but Han doesn't seem to notice. I don't understand why he would still use the Falcon now that they have this scanning capability. Maybe it was because this line was added in ADR to explain an earlier scene and has since been forgotten by everyone at Lucasfilm because it might just get in the way of future stories making sense to me. It's interesting that the first order has the scanning technology to find the Falcon and they couldn't identify it despite it being right next door about ten minutes ago The whole scanning thing is a writing tool.
It's weak and probably influenced the addition of the sequel's ridiculous hyperspace crawler, which makes things worse. Regardless, I want to clarify that ADR is not a bad thing. There are varying degrees of execution and they almost always highlight what the creators want to include after the fact, which can be interesting to consider. It tells you that they definitely cared about that particular thing. I'm just a scavenger. I'm just a scavenger. Moving on, we enter the cantina and it is frustratingly reminiscent of the fourth episode. So let's talk about it during a new hope, they visited a cantina hoping to get a smuggler pilot from a large group of people. was high because these people stopped at this watering hole to look for work or even during their business in this movie.
They need to find Maz Kanata so she can give them an opportunity for a ship. This has nothing to do with a canteen. It just so happens that she has one, this is what you can call a convenience in that the narrative is a complete clone of episode 4. JJ has to have a cantina. They could have gone to a shipyard, a port, any business of any kind. even just a standard house or home But no, it had to be a cantina when they arrived. Maz Kanata calls Han. Who is the short alien who provides information to the characters?
Only she is orange at this point, if you haven't already, you start to see that there is a reuse going on. Minor changes are made to give the film a feeling of being new despite taking excessive portions of the old, something that always makes me laugh. In this scene they need to go unnoticed. And Maz Kanata is aligned with the resistance. She helps them quite a bit, even when they are under literal fire and refers to the first order as beasts. So what does she do? She announces her full name as soon as he enters with all the subtlety of an elephant grenade and why well.
We get the impression that these two know each other. Well, Han has probably caused two problems before and this alludes to what his purpose is. To shock the audience into imagining the backstory instead of letting them realize that this quest giver is used not once but twice without any meaningful exposition of how it relates to our heroes, I mean, I felt drawn to it. Her heart and me. I was also drawn to the questions I had about who she was and who she could become in Sorry Lupita, even with all three films. I have no idea who Maz Kanata is.
Of course,due to comparison. You really can't resist the comparison here because it only took one movie to have a fully developed character in Yoda. It had history. It had many rapids that arose as a result of a long life. He had important decisions to make. He had an interest in drama. He had a team to support and he had his own reasons. Perhaps this is evidence that a simple copy and paste of the character's superficial elements with a pink job is not enough to restore the magic in a substantial way. Anyway, Han says that Chewie is busy with the Falcon and our heroes sit down with Mars, but not before she makes a comment about Chewie being her. boyfriend, which when you combine it with this moment from the last Jedi.
That's one thing, I guess the horny old orange Hobbit. I loved my character. I was drawn to this character because there was depth to her and she's otherworldly larger than life, I mean okay, speaking of this tlj scene, isn't it weird that Maz is a long time friend of the resistance and yet she refuses? helping them in a time of permanent destruction due to a union dispute. Why have a union when the entire Cantina was left in rubble at the end of this coming scene? These films are set one day apart. What child what? Yes let's continue we see a droid of some kind alert the resistance about bb-8 while a woman in black makeup moves to report the first order as stated above many people find this frustrating or boring because it was one of the most easy or cheaper ways to get things moving.
The good guys are not being attacked in this scene. So we better call the bad guys. I agree with that sentiment, but it's also very likely that someone here sympathizes with one of the two warring factions, especially what we assume is an order of bounty hunters that has come out. What I'm saying is no. Personally, this wouldn't have been the reason the first order found our heroes, as it's extremely unsatisfying. We could have gone with the tracker idea or the scanner idea, anything else, but yes, it's reasonable that this could happen. However, it has undeniably been overused and we would call it a partial invention.
We see a Star Destroyer sitting near the star killer base. Which yes, is Death Star 3.0 granted. It's as if the Empire set was the first order. Gotta get a new idea man 3, third time wasn't the charm, no more death stars for these guys. I didn't necessarily feel like the basis of Star Killer was really all that. Brilliant. It was just there and it was something the X-Wings had to fight against. It felt like a third Death Star. That's where you're right. Mr. Stockman, but it can't be a star war without a giant laser ball or a few thousand when we enter.
Kylo Stardestroyer is seen worshiping Darth Vader's helmet and asks Vader to show him the dark side stating that he will finish what Vader started. This scene was quite fascinating at first, especially since it was shown in the trailer to generate enormous amounts of hype since then. There were so many directions I could take. The plot thread was dropped in the sequel and then picked up in The Rise of Skywalker. Now that the story is over, we can certainly ask some questions. Why would Kylo be under the impression that Vader was a dark side? enthusiastic about his part?
He was the one who killed the Emperor and wiped out the Sith. At least as far as Kylo knows what he means when he says I'm going to finish what you started. Some kind of goal we hadn't heard of. Did Luke never tell the world about Anakin Skywalker, the fallen Jedi, who rose to save the world in its final moments? Could Snoke tell Kylo lies about Vader? How would that have worked? We don't know anything about this secondly. Now we know that it is Palpatine talking to Kylo and with that revealed nothing happens and Kylo Baili seems to care.
Even though it was translated to us that this was his main motivation, a revelation like that would have given Kylo. Ample reasoning for killing Snoke, something he could have used. Oh well, thirdly, where is Vader's force ghost? Why doesn't he address this at all? It's almost as if force ghosts are used when convenient, if we take the last Jedi into account, then Yoda should have already eliminated the first Order with a few lightning bolts. It also matters to Vader's ghost that his descendant is being corrupted. No, but he cares enough to talk. Ray when he needs a morale boost despite all those writing problems.
It's a great superficial moment. An easy way to get people's brains writing for you right away. Thinking about all possible avenues allows this helmet to end here and where it goes. mean for the future But that wasn't the intention from the beginning: to have a moment that would easily manipulate the audience devoid of any meaningful creative substance behind it. When I saw the sculpture Luke Fisher made for Vader's mask. These charred remains made me laugh because I knew the scene was going to work. Ah, it worked. J.J. Just not for long. How's that for a slogan for the Force Awakens?
The sad reality is that this movie and its sequels would probably do just fine without this scene. If not, we experience improvements as we are confusingly told that Anakin is showing Ben the dark side and that he is conflicted, which I mean. That's it, Kylo Ren. You were absolutely right. The point of the right little things dies. I'm being torn apart. The obvious purpose of the scene is to give fans a taste of Vader's undeniable fanservice and clumsy fanservice. How the hell did they get this thing back? Anyway, wasn't it completely destroyed? Conflagration more than 30 years ago.
I think you're exaggerating a little, JJ. But it's not like we haven't seen this elsewhere in the script now. Do we at least have Kylo Ren? What's new is that it can be fun to play with overcompensation with a voice and masks to intimidate for a while. Who knows, maybe wearing the mask was an aesthetic choice at first, but after his interactions in battle it becomes a part of him, something he no longer wants and but I can't get rid of it, maybe there's something that connects his use with the Knights of Ren or maybe Snoke gave it to them.
I know I'll be interested to see what they end up doing with it when I get this job. I was very excited to start working without him. One of the first things I thought was that I had to find a way to get that mask out of the way. At that moment Maz tells Han that he should go home to counter his request for a ride. She's taking on the role of therapist during what is essentially the most important mission the Mars faction can commit to right now. It's quite frustrating. that she's wasting a lot of time, especially when she announced her presence despite being a nice guy and the idea that she's some kind of sage is ridiculous considering that if she set Han on some kind of path, it just pushes him into arguing with Leia , your son. and this leads to her death along with Kylo realizing that he is truly an evil man.
Well, until he isn't, but in the eyes of many in the audience, this action makes him irredeemable. Either way, Han is sure Leia doesn't want to see. He Mars then explains that the dark side fight is essentially endless because during the prequels the Sith had a dark side in the OT It was the Empire that was the dark side and now it is the first order of the dark side fighting the dark side. dark and never ends, which is interesting, except that the problem is that the movie has done nothing to explain what the similarities or differences between these things are, other than being against the good guys or rather the protagonists, the Empire was headed by a Sith.
Lord Y was destroyed the day the Sith Lord perished along with him, the first order is just the Empire again with the people who look and act like Sith but are apparently different even though it's literally Palpatine, this time it's Snoke and we have no continuity beyond. the fact that he is on the dark side team has been around for a while and I guess he hates Luke Skywalker for reasons. It's fascinating that Maz Kanata is trying to uncompromisingly defend the idea that it makes sense for the will to simply repeat itself, as if the writers were taking a moment to explain the nature of the will's construction being so completely monotonous that having 1 million Star Wars sequels covering the same topic is simply what to expect.
Mazda's attempts to connect these three trilogies by revealing similarities in the bad guys are going to backfire, as they have been heavily criticized by audiences for being too similar for no good reason. Why even give them different names if you're now trying to convince us that they are? They are practically the same and there will be no significant differences. It's actually fascinating to think that she is saying that the dark side will always be with us in one form or another. But thanks to the rise of Skywalker, we now know that all three forms in all three trilogies were Palpatine. all the time and despite the rise of Skywalker.
He essentially acts like JJ Abrams doodling his own scene here. Let's continue with the idea that the fight never ends and the light side always has a dark side to rise up. Against it, just as Snoke preaches in the sequel, but the problem still arises with the end of the Old Testament. They establish peace. That was the all-time high point for those people and now you've achieved it. Hollow There was no expectation that it would only last a few years and then we would go back to war with Palpatine. Not only is that a depressing concept compared to the films' message, but it takes away from the achievements of those older characters. , I don't think anyone has really accomplished anything in this universe.
No one is really gone. Returning to this scene, however, Disney has become the very core of Star Wars and the meaning of balance in the force, as far as I knew. It's never supposed to mean that there are the same number of light side users as there are dark side users and this fight constantly continues with new users appearing as they die. Allegorically, the struggle between good and evil or between greater and lesser values ​​will continue, of course, in life as we know it, permeating rather poignantly the fictional wills we create, but reducing them to a force that generates more bad goods. or obscure people based on which team numbers are lower at that time, it's embarrassing and the prequels make it impossible.
I was under the impression. It was something much more specific. What happens when you go to the dark side and it becomes unbalanced? and then you become very selfish and you forget about everyone and finally you lead yourself because when you become selfish you get things where you want things and when you want things and you get them then you are afraid that someone will take them away from you. The dark side is discipline. The dark side is a biological pleasure, temporary and easy to achieve. The light side is an eternal joy and difficult to achieve.
An imbalance is a turn towards darkness towards the selfish. However, a rebalance is to focus on the light. This topic is perpetually discussed. My concern is that with Disney's reinvention of balance they feel they have unlocked the ability to make infinite movies with infinite bad guys and good guys fighting endlessly over Death Star cantinas, x-wings, star destroyers, lightsabers and wise little aliens. There is no longer a story to tell. This is nothing more than a small piece of a huge snake in motion that continues to consume itself until no more money can be made. I am sure that in due time both the beginning and the end will no longer be the beginning and the end. continues before, after and during It's always about the light side and the dark side plus Palpatine, more FET, more Skywalker and more alone Disney looked too far ahead They rushed into an entire universe filled with endless Star Wars blockbusters instead of take a strong step first. sort of like Mandalorian, a small story that creates new areas of the universe while focusing on a specific character, although that show has a lot of problems of its own.
So yes, the battle officially continues. Light and darkness united forever, one always wins and the other. It is always catching up. There is no balance, as there should be all things. This understanding puts strength above factions above relationships above characters, watering them down to be on the light side of the force or the dark side to balance them all. the fact that they had their own policies and a militaristic power crushing any resistance because they wanted to rule out power, hunger no longer exists. It's all the force that makes these factions rise and fall. They will return on both sides if Whenever things are out of balance Han Solo never cared about strength, but it did matter to him.
I guess this deconstruction helpssetting a new foundation for Disney in that they can create infinite episodes of Star Wars, but they forgot the part about people not wanting to watch OT over and over again. In fact, at this point, the longer you stay. far from that, the better. Anyway, Mars points out that Finn is a character defined by his desire to run and his response is pretty clear. You don't know anything about me, where I'm from, from what I've seen, they will massacre us. We all need to run, that's probably the only dialogue in the film and John Boyega's delivery as a whole that matches what we know about the character's history.
Something that we will soon reach Mars and then gives you advice on who to turn to. if she wants to escape After having given Harned the lie about Leia and before she ends up giving advice to Rey Advice that doesn't really have any effect on Rey considering she doesn't end up making any decisions Advice that gets Han killed Advice that gets Kylo Ren it's further away from his family and advice that Finn doesn't really follow because he wants to follow Rey once she's gone. It's fascinating from a history perspective. But Maz, Kanata really only exists to slow them all down while the first order catches up to them. them in this area.
She's not really relevant to the story other than being a prop in a place where other things can't happen to anyone. Anything worthwhile from her and considering the results of many journeys that began with her advice, would have made it more sense for her to be part of the dark side. You know, we had a woman at the center. But we also had Leia returning. We had an incredibly strong non-human female character named Maz Kanata who is played by Lupita Nyong'o. She woman a hawk. Haven Rey tries to convince Finn to stay, but he ultimately chooses to leave because he is sure that the first daughter will find them and kill them.
Finn is then seen discussing transportation with these two creatures Yun Seoktae. They told me you can take me to the Outer Rim Apparently. He understands his language but not the king of Chuy, then debates with Finn to the point of getting him to admit his story. Who do you think I have been? What are you talking about? Non-resistance. I am not a hero. I'm a strong soldier, finn. Like all stormtroopers, I was taken from a family at a young age and now you will never know that stormtroopers are trained their entire lives to be proficient in soulless killing.
Finn decided that he would make the decision for him and never kill for the first time. order after seeing the barbaric nature of his goals put into practice, so he ran and found Rey and now the only thing he cares about is getting them both out of danger. I called him. They took me away from a family. I will never know and I was raised to do one thing. Well, it's about time I did a little evaluation beforehand of what we've seen and it's been pretty consistent in ignoring everything before landing on Jakku. Yes, he's clumsy, but he's relatively quick on his feet and brave with the overall goal of him. being motivated by the reduction of suffering.
He seems to be a good guy deep down. He's almost like he's an average person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Everything we've seen and will see primarily supports this idea of ​​his character, but now we've given him a huge amount of development in three sentences that shatters many of our expectations of Finnish in general, why in the world? Is this character? Why is he so balanced and friendly? Why does he keep a cool head in the face of really difficult situations and at the same time play with I Can Fry Anything? It's not me who brings you down on myself, this often works for an audience, sure it works for a fun, interesting and frenetic story, but it doesn't work for a human being who has been through what they have been through.
This is a man who has endured 20 years. of having something drilled into his head to mercilessly erase anyone who does not follow the regime. A die-hard fan of the first order and yet during the massacre. He seems like a completely unrelated civilian. He is immersed in pure horror. I find it very difficult. I think this is what a brainwashed soldier of fascism born to kill does when he sees death. Especially when she was shown his skill with a blaster and her dependence on it. If we're going to ignore TR OS for a moment, the excuse that's been floated before is that Finn was just Sanitation and this being his first fight explains it all but doesn't that make it even more ridiculous?
Why on earth would the first order assign a janitor to a battle squad? They could if they were desperate for troops, but we know they're not doing that well. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that they wanted to replace him with a younger janitor, and they only have one per planet because that makes sense. That's why they threw him as surplus to an assault squad. But why would he go to the point of training a new janitor when he is in his prime and he knows everything is already working? Okay, I'm getting out of this rabbit hole.
The main point is, why bother putting a janitor in combat in the first place? It is far from being a strategic decision or a decision explained by laziness. It's just strange, besides the angle, that he is a janitor and therefore he is not prepared for combat is worthless because he just described the fact that he has been taught to kill since he was born. So he should have been so prepared. like everyone else and why was he the janitor? Anyway, do janitors get vigorous? assassination and conquest training in preparation for those really tough stains to remove when trying to give the Stormtroopers a new history to separate them from the prequel clones and OT soldiers.
Not only have they significantly damaged the construction of his own will, but they have now fundamentally crippled Finn's writing in particular. It just doesn't make sense for his character to exist. He should be abrupt. A hardened fighter with a heart of gold that forced him out. the first order to venture outside of Star Wars for a moment Finn would be comparable to Simon Pegg's character from Hot Fuzz Police Constable Nicholas Angel graduated from the University of Canterbury in 1993 with double firsts in politics and sociology. He took the bat on the bottom. He graduated with distinction. to the Metropolitan Police Service, the K level II participated in a series of extravocational activities To detail the net record of the hundred meter dash He received a bravery award for his efforts in resolving population repression He has received nine special commendations he achieved the Highest arrest record for any officer at the Mint is tough and sensible.
This notebook has saved my skin more times than I care to mention. You should think about using yours more often. I use mine. Show me That's justice for tonight, I said I could be an amazing cop. There's always something going on, Danny, and you'll be an amazing police officer until you understand it, but as we see, He's human. He has an important emotional side. I don't remember a time when he didn't want to be a police officer. That summer of 1979, when I wanted to be a Rana officer, I had to prove to myself that the law could be adequate and fair.
It was from that moment on that he was destined to be a police officer. Too bad I saw. I think you would have made a great Muppet. I was buying clothes. We will put them in Japanese. The peace lily for her birthday, as an angel, could be portrayed as not having time to treat the situation as anything other than serious because lives are always at stake and this character has seen how bad it can go, you could spend the movie having a lightning bolt. Take it down. and feel lightness again. This would also prepare you to gain great knowledge of the first order.
He can describe why they fight, how they feel and what life is like, which sculpted his personality, but we get nothing. Well, we have this. I think they created the former Stormtrooper in hopes of creating an interesting new origin for a character. Then they wanted the character to be fun and funny because he's Disney, even though fun just isn't part of the horrible story of him. So they made him a janitor to try to bridge that awkward gap, resulting once again in even more questions that seek to break his character completely when you started. Was Finn a very different character?
My first approach was to play Finn as quite stern and serious and you know blatantly that he works because the rigidity of all the things he was going up for and JJ is the one who was filled with that feeling. I'm not much for that. Outside of Finn's Inconsistencies, this notion that soldiers have been trained from childhood to be ready for ruthless combat? The instruments of war are almost impossible to believe, as we have seen so many of them fail so miserably. He didn't delve into what they were: they were supposed to be soldiers, they were men recruited from the planets under the loyal banner of the Empire.
Loyalty that was proven to be misplaced once the Empire made its intentions clear. The strength of the Empire was found in their numbers as a result of them having the ruling government, the cannon fodder in their armies was very suitable in both the narrative and the representation of In war now, in the future, we arbitrarily provide this power mass the bad guys once again. We then add extensive lifelong training to soldiers only to have them fail to measure up to even the best of their predecessors. This idea permeates the trilogy. Remember since I mentioned it hours ago at this point.
Soldiers are conditioned once they have been separated from their original families. No way. It's the other way around. My men are exceptionally trained and programmed from birth. Therefore, they are programmed from birth and at the same time have been separated from families at a young age. The first order must have a planet of families to steal the growing babies. As I said before, we Some of the good guys were during this fiasco, well, during a lot of fiascos, from what we understand, these events have been ignored by the Republic and it is implied that people have known about it for a long time.
Listen to what Finn says. I call him. I was taken from a family I will never know like all of them, as if it were an accepted premise. This information is for the audience rather than a revelation to the world surrounding Star Wars. I think the writers inserted the line about families to make Finn look like. more understanding in terms of his change. But if we are to believe what Huck says about brainwashing, then surely this should be an excellent team of super soldiers loyal to the flag. So why are they all incompetent? Well, we need that kind of fodder for our heroes.
It's called Star Wars. Oh, it's okay because it's Star Wars. I mean, I think it's bad every time it happens in Star Wars and that the first orderers are just exceptional in their incompetence. Highly qualified infantry soldiers programmed from birth. It is unlikely that they should not be portrayed as idiots. But hey, you are welcome to your own perspective on this. That's totally fair, why does the media keep perpetuating the fact that stormtroopers are just incompetent idiots? Can't we just get a bit of Star Wars media where the series' main icons can be menacing? Yeah, okay, every time someone says they're a fan of Cosmonaut Variety Hour.
Just ask them what time of cosmonaut variety. They're fans of yours, they might think it's a little strange that I'm judging a comic book movie based on the comic it takes its material from because I don't normally do what I normally like. Judge them as completely separate stories, but when the comic has done so much better than the movie, it's hard to ignore it. No, my stupid, cheesy cartoon villain wasn't portrayed the same way he was in the comics. Yes, we will get through it. Alright. I read a lot of comics and if I got angry every time something was different, I would have died of a heart attack when I saw Fantastic Four, but when the comic did much better than the movie.
It's hard to ignore. Yes. Well, get over it. Alright. He has serious problems staying in any position. There are some people who claim that it is impossible to blow up a fleet by hitting it with hyperdrive. To those people I have to say this: No, but joking aside, shut up, damn it! Idiots, it's a movie about space wizards. There are no rules, stop inventing and get angry. Analyze a movie like a normal person. Choose a paper with made-up fantasy facts on it. The new inquisitors use their strange and sophisticated lightsaber to fly like a helicopter. I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.
Anyone who takes this show seriously just needs to watch this. Imagine if during the fateful battle between Luke and Vader one of them turns his sword and flies away. That's not how the force works. There are no rules, stop making things up to get angry about it. It's not how the force works. I really think people have been giving Rey a very bad reputation for some pretty bad reasons. Most people just say they don't like it because it's too strong, but I don't know, it doesn't bother me, personally. I don't really mind seeing a character who is good at things in Star Wars.All the other main characters and Star Wars are really good at things.
Oh, how can Obi-wan defeat a Sith Lord single-handedly when his master couldn't? Even do that. How is Luke really good at using the force without receiving any training? Sabine is a hot topic and feels like the strong, strong female character. She couldn't be more MarySue unless she was also force sensitive, which at this point wouldn't even surprise me. People just say they don't like her because she's too strong, but I don't know. It doesn't bother me. She couldn't be more MarySue unless she was force sensitive too. By the way, everyone should watch Etha episode 85 and you will totally understand what I mean.
My video about the awakening of the force. I addressed this topic a little further. I'm not going to repeat Basically, this is the kind of series where you really need to accept the silly things and enjoy the things you like. Not how do you conclude that? The prequels are bad and TF is good, so yeah, he just accepts the dumb stuff. You can't conclude anything about anything from install

wars

. If you do this, everything will be hypocritical. Right now everything is hypocritical. He said that the last 15 minutes of this video's jarring character changes are not justified within this narrative.
We're supposed to see him killing Dooku as a bad thing, but based on everything we've seen in the series so far, there's nothing wrong with him killing. Dooku. No, yeah, so this big difference between killing a bull here and killing Dooku, he's so armed, wait. Your friend is this, there is a world of difference here, cosmic, how do you not see this? It's about the same thing. I like to kill balls. Assassin Dooku is not like killing people with guns. It is the same as killing unarmed people who are defenseless and have surrendered. Did you see the look on Duke's face?
He's actually upset and sad and he says, please don't kill me. Darth Maul bear, our heroes never spared any of the enemies. These are not purple. I was just about to say this happens in real life. This is a real life thing. There are so many shots. They shoot you in a wall if that urine is like dying on the ground without weapons and you have captured everyone there. It's all over, you know, just wow. Why do you say this and want to establish that the movie is wrong to frame Anakin? Executing an unarmed prisoner is a bad thing.
The bad thing is the fact that we see Palpatine manipulating Anakin and Anakin recognizes that what he has done is bad. It's definitely bad what you link in the description anyway, Finn tries to convince Rey to leave and she decides to stay, she wants to deliver bb-8 because, well, there's no reason for her to be along for the trip and in that line of plot progression. Now I can explore another tangent that I've been alluding to above, when you look at the Old Testament or, well, most media, you have the introduction of each character that is very clear in terms of their goal and motivation: a young adult who seeks adventure in search of a captured.
Princess and the fight against a fascist government, an older man who seeks to end the destruction of his people and their culture, opening a path to overthrow those who erased his will so long ago while sowing the seeds for a hero to take over. place of him. A man seeking a paycheck in exchange for a job Well done a woman seeking the means to protect innocent people a man seeking atonement for the mistakes he made These people go on journeys and their actions reflect their interests until their interests are satisfied or changed by events Events that are caused by decisions that other people make based on their own interests, this often generates what we call a plot and the solid backbone of a story.
Can you apply this foundation to ray-ray? She is a girl who seeks belonging in the sense of parental figures and as a result she decides to help the resistance. That does not make sense. Thanks presumably to Mars' advice, she decides that Luke Skywalker can give her that belonging only to find out that she didn't need Luke or his parents to find a belonging that makes any sense, unfortunately, it took two movies to say that we won't find out who it is. King. is about any one person, instead of spending time on who she is, they gave us something small to work with at the beginning, but that's it.
Otherwise, we waste our time if we are told we are looking in the wrong place. Also, if you sent Rey back to find father mode in tlj, why would her favorite port of call be a guy who was a myth to her hours ago? I guess she really has to trust that Mars was right. Most of it seems motivated by an attempt to imitate scenes without narrative support because that's how success is created and we haven't even gotten to the emergence of the Skywalker references yet. Anyway, Rey grabs Finn and then is distracted by hearing distant screams.
These turn out to be hers from when she was a child. She is then taken to a room in the lower areas of Maz's cantina. The door suddenly opens for her because the force is. and she ends up finding Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber. Grabbing it takes her on a vivid journey of images through different lands and sounds and well, let's take this slowly first. Anakin's lightsaber in this little box in the cantina is hilarious, the movie avoids having to explain it with what can be understood as a pretty insulting line when it comes to storytelling. A good question.
For another occasion, what a wonderful literal mystery box. This is a blatant admission by the writer that they don't want to explain something they wanted to have. It's like resurrecting a character and just asking people to get over it. If ever there was a plan, this connects to Maz's backstory. In fact, in the original script you saw the lightsaber fall through space and land on the ground and a hand picks it up and you used to have this whole backstory where we learned what happened to the lightsaber. Luke's lightsaber over the years and how it ended.
Eventually, in the hands of Maz Kanata, that all became backstory and is actually now thrown out in one line in the movie, so apparently there was a draft where the lightsaber was floating in space until he fell and was finally recovered by a hand, but Of course, that would have been even more ridiculous, so they cut him off. Only later do they decide that they will explain how all this is possible. We could have had some dialogue or a scene to explain how he got there in a more reasonable way. During which there could have been some wheel construction that gave us more information about how the parts ended up in their respective positions instead of wasting our time.
For example, you could explain how Mars meets Han and the rest of the characters. Remember all the exhibits they had to explain Lando and Hans' story during The Empire Strikes Back? Do you trust him? No, no, love for the Empire. He tells you that he wouldn't take a few minutes to come up with a collection of lines that can add real structure to your story. The lightsaber could have fallen into some kind of debris collector on Bespin. And from there. There was a Kyber crystal in the handle. It was processed as a foreign object of value.
Perhaps it was sorted into a specific collection for workers to send to management. Maybe Lando finally returned to Vespa and maybe we spent an entire opening following the lightsaber through the years. that we've missed Think of all the information we could get just by watching it change hands Maybe Luke left it behind and Leia entrusts it to Mars because she's on a mission to find Luke herself. Obviously, this is pretty rushed in terms of an excuse to get the lightsaber to this location by now. And normally I'd outright reject the idea entirely, but it's something the writers chose to avoid the topic entirely, both in this film and its sequels, opting to have third-party information.
Clean up your mess anyway. Going back to the movie, we have ourselves. A vision sequence, a vision sequence that teases you in terms of what to expect from the upcoming films. We see Luke and r2d2 in a fire and some destruction. Thanks to The Last Jedi, we now know that Luke is mourning the death of his student and the uprising of the Jedi Temple after grappling with the idea of ​​killing Kylo, ​​but if the sequel doesn't address it, this image is pretty powerful. . We also see Kylo leading the Knights of Ren to kill what we could now assume are the other students of Luke's training.
These are most likely the same Knights that Snoke referenced earlier. It means nothing to me, nor even to you, Master of the Knights of Ren. Wow, that all sounds really interesting. Will there be a backstory to that? but the question of why he wears the mask was answered in his insecurity that he was involved with the Knights of Ren, for which we get a whole backstory. The idea of ​​the Knights and their history as shown here is completely removed in the sequel. I didn't even reference doing this scene in The Force Awakens, Help the Sheep, considering how they ended up being used in the Rise of Skywalker, but I guess when it comes to retcons, JJ had the last laugh.
What can you tell us about your connection with him? Dark side, can you tell us something? No. While they were gone in those seconds, I thought: Have you noticed how many times we wait for a sequel to fix the problems of the predecessor? Imagine you get hired as a creator with a job like that. You can't even fix your own story because you have to fix someone else's and in the case of the rise of Skywalker, the man who was brought in for repairs is the one. Who broke that damn thing in the first place? It's such a strange circumstance.
And I think it's fair to say that in the cosmic roll of the dice we were pretty unlucky when it came to the sequel trilogy moving forward. We see Rey when she was a child. She is watching who we know are her parents after they sold her for drinking money. Hmm Well, let's stick with that for a moment. Reyes was a slave in Jakku. She seemed to be a scavenger merchant who loosely participated in this struggling economy by trading scrap metal for food, something others do as well, leaving her free to do whatever she wants. Meanwhile, she included, among others, leaving the planet entirely, which is interesting compared to Anakin's slave life on Tatooine.
Rey could leave whenever she wanted, but let's assume it's all slavery, she wouldn't have brought it up unkar plutt: is she a character? We should be concerned, since he seems to have been a potential father figure to her throughout her life. I mean, she was sold to him, right? Was it an Anakin Watteau style relationship or did it mean something more to her considering that unlike Anakin, Rae didn't have a shimmy Skywalker equivalent as far as we know, it starts to poke some holes in the very concept of Rey being so kind. and affable? Unless, of course, she had someone to protect her from the expected hardening of her perspective, but even with three OS that's just not her story.
Speaking of which, though, I wonder if the third installment will change our perception of Rey's story once again. Also, I find it quite funny that apparently she had the same hairstyle when she was three as she does now, but then she changes it for The Last Jedi, don't panic, people who aren't fans of my channel. I'm not the one saying that one hairstyle ruined the entire movie. Anyway, I think it's a fun detail. Rey confronts Kylo Ren directly and what may foreshadow the end and then she is taken out of the sequence. There were many different sounds, as well as Vader's breathing.
Comments on the force and both iterations of obi. -wan Kenobi puts a line in there, all of this stuff sends shivers down the spines of many long time fans and whoever created this sequence nailed it if that's what they were going for. It's a shame that the most substantial potential of this scene is wasted for the future of this story. Then Mars sees Ray and explains that the lightsaber belonged to Luke and his father before him only that he now calls Rey. This would be why people assumed Rey was Luke's daughter to align with this. But the problem is that the lightsaber didn't call out to Luke, whatever that means.
The hallucinatory dream sequence is very new and different from Luke's experience on Dagobah. Luke certainly didn't. He didn't embark on some kind of adventure when he touched the handle and Anakin was able to have visions of the future without context, but there was room to understand that he too was a nightmare. This is either a new force power for the saga or a new item feature with relevant stories for the characters that touch them. It is also something that would most likely already be present in third-party content. But we as the audience could do with a little orienting explanation of what's going on here and would be happily forgiven for placing it at any point throughout the trilogy.
But they don't and they really don't have to, it doesn't necessarily affect anything. no way. It's more of atrailer into the trilogy universe It's almost as if they wanted the scene to be filled with incredible imagery and references to drive fans crazy, but they had no reasonable way to implement it. So we have the journey of saving a mushroom and again they wanted to imitate the classic scene of taking the lightsaber out of an old chest, only it did that. It makes sense that Obi would pass the lightsaber to Luke, he's trying to pressure Luke to confront his father.
While here Rey found the lightsaber because it simulated her own childish screams that only she could pick up and the reason she could do it is because she ended up in the cantina so we assume it's pure luck since Rey ended up here because Han he randomly chose him to get a ship and that was after he luckily ran into Rey, although if we leave aside how we ended up here, it's still strange that Ray. By treating this discovery with such surprise and reverence, everything plays out as if she is a long-time Star Wars fan and has a dream in which they find this.
The scene has no reason to have anything to do with her. In fact, it has a lot to do with it. with the fulfillment of a wish for a fan She goes to this box that when she opens it she discovers Something that of course has no meaning for her. She's never seen this before, she doesn't know what it is, but it has meaning to the audience. I know JJ, but that makes the scene almost absurd. She's behaving like an audience surrogate rather than a character, something you have precedent for incorporating. Anyway, incompetently, Mars then reveals that Ray's parents aren't coming back and that the belonging she's looking for may happen.
She meets Luke Reyes and then offers her the lightsaber, but she rejects him and flees the cantina. Now seriously, I can't believe how much there is to deconstruct between them when arriving and leaving Takodana. But I'm not the type to skip the step. So let's do it If we go it alone with The Force Awakens Then the movie tells us to worry about Rey's parents over and over Then, in the buildup to Rey's lowest point, she realizes through Mars that his parents are not important because they won He will not return. Therefore, she will not find belonging through them.
What apparently should be pursued is Luke? Skywalker through Luke, Rey will find that belonging is like the movie is establishing a teacher-student relationship that Rey will connect with and eventually see as a father-daughter relationship instead of waiting to connect with her parents. So what does the sequel do? Well, we went from having ideas solely about belonging to more ideas about a known lineage, ideas that weren't present in the first film, even by the main character's admission. Regardless of what we learned, Luke wants nothing to do with Ray or The Jedi and the boots are off the island.
Now Rey is not supposed to receive her belongings from Luke. Instead, the focus returns to the parents who were fired just a few days ago and, despite being told they are unavailable because they will never return, she is now shocked. knowing that they are inaccessible because they are dead, but now we also have something much more obvious: they are nobody. Which still doesn't make sense in any other than meta way? crippling our understanding of this world and at the same time giving Rey this new goal of simply being part of a well-known lineage by concluding that her parents are redundant again and the focus returns to Luke, his sacrifice and meeting the resistance in addition to Kylos downhill. offer.
This shows us that Rey doesn't need to belong to a group. She does not need to have parents who are part of a known lineage. She can just be King even though she is totally part of a group. Look, it's uncomfortable. It's confusing, but there is something that needs to be resolved, only then do we see Skywalker ascending repeating all the beats we just went through, but with a different idea of ​​who her real parents are. Once again, this hyperactive schizophrenic mess feels like two. Writers who hate each other were blackmailed into working on the same character, many detractors will blame fans for being too caught up in Rey's origins even though that narrative has been pushed since the beginning of the trilogy, in fact , Rey's belonging and lineage are the consistent backbone of all three films, fans are invested in theories for all sorts of reasons, in this case there is an abundance, but many were pushed in that direction by the films and desire to explain high power.
The Force Awakens wrapped up Rey's parents storyline. Definitely. They will never return Only for that same topic to be reopened, explained and closed again twice For dead in a pauper's grave and the jakku desert You have no place in this story You come from nowhere or from his granddaughter You are a repeal party King Skywalker We know that the Last Jedi had no respect for the Saga he was supposed to contribute to, but it's interesting to think about the idea that the Last Jedi also ignored and insulted the Force Awakens. So let's address that a little bit here, people.
I have this mindset that the payoffs were misspelled in the last Jedi because of how mysterious the setups were in the force awakens. The Force Awakens has its own problems, as this series has surely shown, but underpaying a setup doesn't mean it's the setup's fault. That's crazy. You simply need to hire a writer who can handle the scope of the project. The Force Awakens in all its flaws provided a springboard for the sequel's writers to work from Rey's past to all of these visions. the path to new power in the universe and positions for classic characters with new people to explore you have a base to work with, it is true that it is a poor base compared to what was possible, but it's not that there is nothing What to work with in any case not only wasted the limited resource, but they repeated what we had already seen until Rey crying when she realized that modern herons are out of her reach.
As if it weren't enough to plagiarize the original films, you have to copy and paste sections of The Force Also Awakens. I want to say that the movie was a great success. So why not the Ouroboros? The comparison becomes more apt as we go, perhaps the writers are trying to say that Mars is unreliable. Despite being established as a character who can see who people are in an instant, getting Han and Finn's characters right. But not being able to direct them effectively, I guess she. She had a blind spot for Rey, though I should probably stop, since by mentioning her name and possible character traits, I've already been more careful with Maz Kanata's character than the script or its sequels.
Huck is giving a very commanding speech, full of confidence and conviction reinforced by his quick assessment of his enemy in the Republic, it is fierce and destructive with quite formidable language. Oh, whatever hooks gives us a snippet of how to build the wheel that essentially reinforces what we've already learned from text tracing The Republic is still in power They're almost useless and the first order is about to wipe them off the face of the galaxy in a single move, somehow their soldiers and Senate fleet allies are destroyed in this single shot from the first order and as a result of this destruction, the first order believes that the galaxy will bow to them instead. of the most likely assessment that it will unite the galaxy against them, as far as we know.
The first order is relatively unknown as a faction and they just did most of it. famous war crime in the history of this universe. Especially considering that once we reached the end of this story. Their weapon is destroyed, many systems would surely underestimate their power or limits and try to join forces to crush them like they do in the last film of the trilogy. Even though the first order is at the height of its power. At that point, seriously, what other factions exist? Will anyone else want to take over the galaxy with the Trade Federation government removed?
Maybe about the Hutts, maybe the Kaminoans want to try it. Will Kanto casinos consider a revolution where the people in power are so weak? For all I know, many of those factions could have disappeared. Many more could have replaced them. But the problem here is that the movie wants us to care about this monumental monument. Move in first order by blasting a hole through the Galaxy and killing the universal leaders with a single shot without letting us know what it means. Surely this laser does not travel faster than light and reaches the Hosnian system in less than a minute from the shot.
Also, the star-killer base eats suns, which should surely destroy the system it's doing as well, as well as ruin itself in terms of gravitational attraction and any explanation they have for this will probably break any and all laws of physics that one can conceive. If I get a headache, I imagine an expert in this field completely losing his mind in terms of the universe. However, we don't know what anyone was doing or what anyone else will do now that this has been done. I mean, we don't know what anyone can do about it, we don't know what the Republic was before it was destroyed and we barely understand the first order, as it stands, these pieces of information would generate what we might call voluntary construction stakes without them.
Do we have to lose or win as an audience? What do these actions mean for the world? Which would be lost because this is an extreme amount of death and Disney has found a way for me to be apathetic about it. It's something unreal. The Disney Star Wars movies have shrunk the world so significantly that it no longer feels like a universe of systems. It feels like a system with very few planets and we just lost half of them. That should be significant even here We are as the movie shows the Republic is annihilated as a result of the destruction of five planets a unique system if we forget for a second that the planets are so close to each other it is completely absurd We can concentrate on the fundamental weakness that is present in this galactic government.
Why did the first order go to the trouble of building the Starkiller base? Can you imagine the amount of money, work time and talents that went into this when they could have invested all their resources? To overthrow the Republic at any time, simply convert the energy, manpower and materials for the stationary planetary weapon into hundreds of fleets that could easily roam the galaxy. I guess Palpatine had the right idea all along. He also prevented any knowledge of this base from escaping. during all levels of production seems downright impossible. And why destroy planets that you can subjugate and what is this planetary weapon going to do once it is fired at the target, just stay there.
You will forever be able to move. Can you use hyperdrive? Is it now just a symbol of fear? Well, not because you set it to fire again too soon. Look, why couldn't you achieve fear and domination of the galaxy with thousands of ships instead of the planet's laser? Oh well, at the end of this trilogy, neither of them are very scary. Destroying a fleet or a giant death ball is easy these days, regardless. It's a significant expense to complete a task that could be accomplished in many simpler and cheaper ways, although I suppose I've accidentally highlighted and should give further credit to the first order fleet, including the battleship. ships that can lift portions of planets from their orbit But are not used in the Force Awakens despite the desperate need for them.
It's almost as if they don't exist at this point, even though The Last Jedi was set seemingly hours later. an argument that this is the cleanest way to Destroy the Republic and that is why the first order used this tactic. But that logic depends on them not meeting each other from the beginning to the end of production. Which is ridiculous and means this thing is going to sit and collect dust after the Republic is taken down, which is quite a move for something that would have been immensely exhausting to create and maintain. Plus, as we saw, they were easy targets thanks to this theoretically clean plan.
They lose Starkiller pretty quickly when it comes to the argument that this is the cheapest way to get rid of the republic, not only would it be cheaper. Overall, simply mass producing the battleships and an army of fighters compared to creating a planet-sized base that can absorb the sun, destroying Starkiller doesn't seem to cripple first-order resources at all. It's such a nonentity that they forgot to even mention it in the second movie even though they generally took place right next to each other. So little thought went into creating this beyond the concept that I can't imagine anyone thinking it was a good idea in the writing room.
They just wanted something bigger and therefore better, the irony isthat bigger is better was foolishly translated to the audience right away and only served to take them out of the narrative as it was intended to be more threatening than the death star of a new hope, but the Empire had a good reason for doing so. launch their Death Star After 20 years of their government working through bureaucracy and bureaucracy To implement their policies and rule the galaxy with purpose The Empire still did not have unlimited power by completing the Death Star while dissolving the Senate created a state of no discussion, debate or reasoning, the law is as the Emperor commands and for the most part the systems would align, but now there is no chance of revolt when the ruling powers have this at their disposal, which is why it is They rushed to create the second one. to take back that Stranglehold once it was destroyed and the sith rulers were dead.
The Empire could never exist as before. His reach exceeded his possibilities. The Death Star was a symbol of fear to silence the galaxy while it was here. It's almost a party trick to make the audience say "well. Remember that the Death Star, the first order, doesn't need a symbol of fear to further persuade the systems under its rule to fall." online because they have no government everything reeks of Recreation without the effort to once again tie it into the narrative and speaking of Starkiller Base It would seem that they have taken the name of their money printing monstrosity from the protagonist in the 2008 video game The Force Unleashed An entertaining and relatively beloved side story to Star Wars.
That was Dee canonized by Disney. I'm sure that doesn't bother everyone who ever enjoyed that game. You guys remember Star Killer. Have the opportunity. I wonder what he has to say about the sequel trilogy. Last Jedi. Only to me it felt like a movie made by a guy who hadn't done his homework. He didn't do it for me. He didn't. A compelling argument why Luke? He wouldn't go help his sister, you know? Or if Luke is really hiding on that island because he feels really bad about how he handled Kylo Ren, then why does Luke talk badly?
Kylo Ren at the end of the movie Looks good, which one is it? Do you feel bad for hurting this boy or are you going to talk bad? You wouldn't even imagine that he would come to that fight and become God Ben. I'm so sorry Ben, I was on the side the whole time. I'm very sorry, no. Yeah, whatever you see around Kade Why is he trying what? I don't think he's done his Star Wars homework, but you don't owe me anything in terms of not the details or the spaceships. I guess I think my advice to an aspiring screenwriter and not would be to find your voice and by that I mean find the type of story you want to tell and how you want to tell it, you know, find what's important to you and stick to that. taste and that sounds really. basic, but by this I mean don't give in to the temptation to mold yourself around some kind of perception of what does the market want or what?
Or what the people you know want or God forbid what the critics want or what do you have? You know what everyone wants, but you really find your thing, you find what makes your voice unique and you stick with it because in the short term it's going to seem like that's what's holding you back, it's going to seem like that's what's making it difficult. However, that is what will make your voice unique and that is what will make you stand out from the crowd and get you noticed. So, I'm sure you're wondering what this space laser looks like. affect anything at the craft level.
Surely it is no more harmful than sound in space. Good? Well, not really a side note. I'll show footage of the Republic from the prequels since I hate showing you this clip over and over again. But the thing is, Disney Wars hasn't left me much choice when it comes to the Republic anyway. This light means that Han took Rey and Finn to a nearby planet with the intention of getting a transport that could take them to the resistance when he could have taken them there himself. He probably would have gotten to that timeline before they even sat down. with Mars.
You see, by going to the republic, they would have easy access to powerful transportation. Maybe even support troops and resources in general to assist in delivery. And, of course, direct communication with Leia considering that the Republic supports the resistance. Who knows, maybe they could even hide the scanning method that the Falcon detects. Of course, scanning can't be completely muted in the sense that a radar detects moving objects, as we've seen in the previous films, the idea that you can find and track them from all corners of the planet. The universe sounds pretty new and would require a unique signature rather than just mass.
Which means that, in theory, the same frequency could be removed to do that. Ultimately, Han remains an ally of the resistance. There they accept it and consider it useful. So logically speaking there is no reason why he wouldn't have tried this, it was an extremely stupid move and it's frustrating to think about since this light in the sky isn't even necessary for thinking. It is possible that Han will reach the Republic. the center of all discussion for the government of the galaxy Just go there and seriously, at this point, how could anyone categorize this as nitpicking?
Or they would have gotten there and left before the first order destroyed the system and therefore would not do so. Rey doesn't need to be saved and the map would be delivered safely, which changes the plot entirely. On the other hand, they would have been there when it was destroyed and I don't think I need to explain how that would affect the plot. Which means the plot and character writing here has to take big hits, all for one picture. What one can see is a detail in the sky is actually a rather disconcerting error, of course.
It's understandable that the writers wanted the lightning and destruction to be visible to our heroes. They wanted an epic spectacle of superficial celestial fireworks, but the knock-on effect is not taken into account. Is there any reason not to go to the Republic? In fact, I'm starting to think it's a missed opportunity. What if the First Order tracks them to the Republic capital planets? Oh no, maybe we'd have a wall between the Republic and the First Order, especially since this movie has tried so hard to obfuscate that. Also, maybe if I give him the maximum benefit of the doubt, Hahn doesn't want to go there because the Republic is looking for him.
Well, that would be a sad realization of Hahn's incompetence. But he could still turn in king finn and bb. -8 in an escape pod. So that's not a problem either. The sad reality is that we've already seen efforts to cover up the writing in the movie, so I assumed this was just a flaw they found, as JJ demonstrated and all he said was: Of course Wiccans aren't. a science lesson. Imagine how much they use this excuse in production. The really curious thing is that you can search for an explanation of this scene on the Wikipedia pages.
They talk about how the base's energy opened subhyperspace rips, spilling light throughout the galaxy. allowing everyone to see it as if it were a closed gaze. First of all, not only does JJ have no idea that this explanation exists despite being the main writer, but third-party explanations have no relevance to this evaluation, plus that explanation opens up a huge amount of information. other questions Since, again, physics still knows, it's fun to see how far fans will go on behalf of writers like these. Since the original trilogy, we have sent probes to many planets in our solar system and discovered hundreds of new extrasolar ones.
Planets that whatever we've learned from science makes its way into the design of the planets in this movie. Yes, we noticed how this planet is apparently frozen despite being very close to a pretty angry star. But whatever. It's not a science lesson. Anyway, if you get close to Han and Chewie Whoo. Yes, Chewie was on the Falcon fixing repairs and now he's here. I don't know why they bothered with this change. Maybe he has a deleted scene on the Falcon where he repairs things. Don't know. It's just the kind of edit that reminds me of something anyway.
Finn says this First order they did it. Thanks to this line and then the confirmation that Finn worked on the base we will get to. It is confirmed that Finn knew about this weapon and the fact that they were going to shoot against the republic or the resistance since who else are they going to shoot before the ruling government or the faction created to directly oppose them and despite all this Finn does not told no one, I think the most egregious element would be the fact that he didn't tell Hans Solo This is a rebellion general according to Finn's vague knowledge.
You are leaving information that will lead to the destruction of his faction, his loved ones and possibly himself will fall by the wayside. Completely all because what you forgot, doesn't it sound familiar? Finn is supposed to be desperately interested in harm reduction. Not to mention assuming that the star killers also keep a secret like the movie wants us to believe. Choosing to say that right now will reveal exactly who you are, but of course not Hahn. notice or care, which means that not telling him sooner wouldn't have had any negative effect on Finn nor was Finn particularly worried about Sharing it and don't get me wrong.
Not to say Finn would have told Hahn this. he saved the planets for sure, but he didn't even try and who knows what could have happened if the Republic had found out about Starkiller Base when Finn met Poe or Han. I can't tell you how complicated the mess was. The last ten minutes of this movie have been, if you haven't noticed already. We've spent a lot of time fixing it. But this is what happens when you slow down the content when you listen to everything. That is said Done. And yes, this format applies to old YouTube videos, since fans of each frame with a pause may already be aware and you don't need to know any special moves to earn things like stopping and using your EXO or optional tax, meaning that this pairing is not optional in many circumstances in this game.
You'll get Yeah, the ghost train you have to stop to move the tram isn't Pettit's final boss, like it was built entirely to stop the one from Before Satan, the guy with that dice head or whatever. Yes, given king. Now I know there are some people who think that when you slow down any type of media you will always reveal problems that all stories are ultimately no more or less flawed than any other, that mentality is a real shame. Helps inform. The poisonous attitude. I was referring to that less than ten minutes ago There are already so many videos out there that the torn screen falls apart to show how well written they are in the details The force awakens under a critical gaze has moments of success Pieces here and there where it shines, already We've gone through several of them in this series, but it's true.
You can apply this process to a lot of stories and come away feeling depressed about the overall state of the narrative. You may feel like you've been fooled by bright lights. or a frenetic pace. But you have to remember that the opposite is possible, depending on the content, you may end up appreciating the writing more than you would have realized. After a first viewing, you will be more than capable of finding a new source of meaning. within it to start you simply need Draw a line between what makes you feel and what it is Despite these aspects Be absolutely able to inform each other are very different Both vary in value from person to person, but mixing them is precisely What makes so many conversations so confusing?
You often get stuck at the door of the exchange because each speaker hasn't made it clear what will be discussed. Obviously it doesn't end there nor is it really that simple, but it's a great start and in Before long you'll find a lot of content that can show how much this ship has to offer after the fights over Critias picks up Poseidon and beats him up. His own hands as the spike spins around the action and in first person, then Kratos proceeds to grab him like a clown kid Forever anyway coming back we're with rey and bb-8 Rey tells the droid she's leaving and I still don't understand where he thinks he's going to leave the planet he'll just go through the woods Until something comes up in terms of a spaceship I guess.
Well, considering the luck factor of it. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened, but I think we all realized that she's not specifying a location because she doesn't have one. She's supposed to be captured anyway, as Ray tells BB-8 to come back. She realizes that the First Order has invaded thanks to the informant from earlier. Unfortunately, the resistance has not yet arrived to counter them. Unfortunately, I guess the first order was simply closer to taking Adana, so we move on to a Rushing Maz Kanata who provides Anakin's help. I'd like to tell them, but Finn and Han like it's more important than anything else.at the moment.
She says that she has been locked up and that she has had it for years. So why the hell didn't he give it back to the people Luke is? aligned with before now, especially considering she's his ally and why you consider locked up a door opening with all the force of a dying fart and a chest, that's a curious look to be stolen. I really don't understand anything. From this Mars says that they need to find Rey and hands the lightsaber to Finn. So I guess she's desperate for Rey to find Luke with the lightsaber because it's important that she get it.
Well, who knows what Maz gets, even unless the plot demands that she send a codebreaker in her place. She seems to care more about Rey getting Anakin's lightsaber than her own life or here 1000 Year Cantina 1000 Years has been present and passionately aligned with good things for up to 1000 years and I guess we just never encountered it before, it's almost as if they've aged her to account for her immense wisdom even though it simply raises more questions. Why does Mars really care about all this? Who is she? Why does she have these responses? Do we even have a throwaway line to explain all of this?
Why is she desperate for Ray to witness this? Mars is presented as a character created to foreshadow incredible events to come, which is completely deflated by what we end up getting. Now looking back many will wonder what the point of this character is and what she was thinking the whole time, maybe episode 9 will hold the key. to her deep and fascinating personal journey. It is not like this. Mars makes sure they get the lightsaber and then notices that the first order has arrived, which is partly Hans' fault. But we'll get to that and see that Rey has now decided to return to Instead of escaping from the cantina, he just sees some Stormtroopers and collectively shoots three of them with his pistol at a fairly long distance.
This would be another significant addition to her pistol-shooting skills with shocking accuracy, if we accept the inevitable comparison, it took Princess Leia much longer to wound the enemies she aimed at, despite having the utmost confidence with a pistol. Greater range and control than the one proposed, in addition to being at a shorter distance with more time to shoot and a group of enemies who had no intention of killing her. Amazing, right? Not to mention how long it takes for Han and Luke to get the shots off? The thing is, this information seems petty to many people and they end up reacting the way many people reasonably do what the problem is.
She shot some bad guys. Why do you have to get angry for just enjoying the movie? Well, let me explain to you how much we don't know about Rey. It's increasingly baffling to keep adding skills to her in the time we have instead of features that we still don't have a clear motivation for her regarding Battle of Light and Darkness or First Order and Resistance as a result, these skills, instead of her character, they are quickly becoming her story, her aptitude for almost everything is amazing and it is unconsciously fueled that any revelation and growth we get for her, will be directly linked to all of these moments as they take up most of their screen time.
This is what the character Rey is about Not only does it not fit with what we know of the universe The story focuses on taking a step back here Look what we just had to point and shoot when it's not something that What would we expect from her considering life that they have shown us nor will we see them make much use of it in the future? She will be the force user of our new characters. So establishing an impressive shooting ability for no other reason than to take down stormtroopers in this scene is strange, but it's explained by looking at the movie's subject matter, which is something we'll do in Potentially.
In the distant future, what I'm referring to as a solution here is that we should see fine shooting and impressive shooting like we do here. Or attached as a pilot job and a job for a blaster. So, the characters who are best suited to these jobs lead them to work together. to achieve something. Oh, that's a deleted scene. It doesn't matter. When it comes to other character cases, Relative Aim would be a decent addition because it's a skill on top of your set stances or fighting that doesn't change anything significantly in the larger story except for almost Blank Slate development being wasted by having more events like this taking up screen time instead of more of this or this or that.
It's not the audience's fault for caring about these moments in terms of consistency and character when the story is so obsessed with presenting them and that's not a trend that's stopping in this film. It seems quite deliberate and for those in the audience wondering how Good King was seen here, there was a stormtrooper who just happened to be standing in the middle of the forest. looking around him. He's not part of a squad. He's not attacking the cantina, all the people are probably running away from it. And she still doesn't know how to look for Rey in this area.
The writers basically left it here for Rey to film. I wonder why, well, give me 63 seconds for that. Anyway, we cut to the entrance to Maz Kanata's cantina as Kylo walks through it. It has been demolished to the point of resembling a collection of undamaged rubble. Wow. They work fast Wait, wasn't this place full of random cantina goers? some of them were very loyal to the first order, who were the Stormtroopers even fighting in this scene before Han Chewie and Fin showed up and why does it seem a little unethical or just plain stupid? Look at this guy in the middle of the fight.
It is shown for approximately a fraction of a second. Who is this person? He has a gun. He's in the thick of it. And this is before the Republic arrives. Is he fighting with Han? Is she his own friend? Do the first order care about him? Does Mars care about him? Look, there's another one right there. Who is this boy? So many that they just fall for no reason, who knows how many people are dead now. In fact, when they were destroying that structure, was there any concern about killing Ray? You know the girl she wants to kidnap.
Luckily for him, a stormtrooper informs Wren that the droid and the girl were seen in the woods. That's why Ray shot those soldiers. We needed her to be seen so Kylo could go after her himself. Back to Ray, she tells BB-8 to run away in a random direction while she fights the soldiers again. It's not something we thought she could do, but we need her to be captured and we need BB-8 to escape with the resistance. So I write: As for this, we're not going to burn any of this down, but a lot of it just has to happen this way.
It's very altruistic that she essentially gives up her own life for a cause. We're not even sure she invested in it, especially when she could have. she escaped with bb-8 but it doesn't matter. Then we see Han Solo perform a triple kill, which is nice. But the third is a 180 noscope for the sole reason of looking flashy. This compounds the issue of style over substance in this film, especially when I've already shown that Han is much more incompetent than he used to be in his prime. He fired his gun within the limits of being a man he had to aim, and he still constantly missed.
But here he even seems a little confused. by his own shooting. As if he really didn't know what he just did. This is especially awkward because the only defense is through the sound of enemy blasters, for example. Something Finn is using. Moments later, it would be pretty awkward if that was sad Finn. The fact is, there are a lot of flashy moves a gun expert can pull off without turning him into a magical creature at this point in the movie. It is becoming clear that the character is falling by the wayside and instead we will focus on the striking.
What did people love about Han Solo? Well, it was this right. This was the reason why people liked it. Not things like this. No, we loved the character because we wanted to see him personally shooting those evil soldiers. He just hated scenes like this, Scott. Like the sound of it. Oh, and this scene was particularly boring. She is the fastest ship in the fleet. Don't know. She won't get a scratch. Okay, I have your promise not to. a scratch to get you going pirate What do you think mr. Abrams, this felt incredibly classic Han Solo right now Well, that explains almost everything, doesn't it?
Han Solo is the one looking at you, okay? You can probably understand that I'm not happy with how they've handled Han in this story, but there will be a better time to address it. So please be patient, we'll get to everything eventually. Nothing escapes the law. Finn then leaves the Basement and Mars tells him that Rey and BB-8 need him only for him to demand that he needs a gun. Then Mars convinces him to turn on Anakin's lightsaber and begin the search for him. Didn't Finn get a blaster from Han that he carried with him during a few scenes, but we got here and it disappeared?
It's almost like there was a deleted scene where Finn lost that Blaster and they hoped the audience would forget about it. But that's not the case Shirley. Oh dear, did you love how the policeman said Snoke and Hans said smoke? That's a great play on words. I can see why you would want to cut the scene. The jokes. Sometimes they don't turn out very well or perhaps there was a clear lack of time available. But now we have a gap in continuity. That's what you're supposed to care about. I think it's clear that Finn needed to have his lightsaber moment.
So they absolutely had to take the gun away from him. Finn isn't going to use a sword over a gun when he faces other armed stormtroopers. Now, in fact, if he had no other choice. And you decided to use this lightsaber? It really could be a pretty strong moment, but they cut the scene that could have supported such a payoff and didn't take it into account at all, which means we have an old-fashioned continuity problem in the editing subcategory. Like so many in tlj. Speaking of which, remember the scene where Finn tells DJ that he was wrong once his deal with the First Order is revealed?
Well, apparently there was a different line in the movie and I guess it's a deleted scene now. This is not the line. In that row, this is the Benicio del Toro special. I originally had a silly line from a movie like, you know, yeah, I'm wrong and I'm rich or something and he's like, I think you should say maybe it was like yeah. Well, can you imagine saying that to Finn? Wrong and rich, he just needs to laugh after the wood in the scene is complete. It's interesting that Ryan has the full view to eliminate some of the clunky, clunky dialogue from him.
It's a pity that there are still so many things in it. Do you think I came? To the most impossible to find place in the galaxy for no reason? That's in addition to the fact that he would have made the decision to cut the scene in which Luke mourned Hans' death. Oh, that might be news to some of you that Ryan cut this scene from the movie. Yes, they could have reserved just 5 seconds. of that and you would still have the essence of the moment. And of course, everyone is wondering where in the world we could have cut 5 or 10 seconds from the movie?
Well, I have no idea. These scenes are very important. I guess this is just a little rant within my project, but I don't understand it. I don't understand many of his choices as a narrator. Especially with people who talk so much about emotional resonance. You should really watch that documentary: The Director and the Jedi. It is a long chronicle of what happened on the set and reveals a lot about the horrors of the production for certain people. The director of this documentary would obviously have had his own equipment to record it in its entirety. from the experience, meaning they had to choose what to keep from the many things that happened on set, and since we're talking about deleted scenes, we look at something that the director of the documentary kept in his project.
That was not seen in the last Jedi. I guess everyone remembers the moment Luke and Leia connect in tlj. This is the vision Ryan chose for the film and it's one of the few moments with any substance. Is strong. scene thanks to Carrie and marks the performances along with the story they share that is not in the way Thanks to the writing of the last Jedi, but look what was not used in the finale. I know what you're going to say. It's nice like this, look. How about hope? Do not find yourselves dazzling, beautiful, full of emotion.
Carrie Fisher, absolutely spot on. This is what I imagine a general will feel like after having lost her resistance. She has to face the death of those. She struggled throughout her life as she tried to accept the fate of her son and did not reach the final vision. Why would anyone delete shots like this and recognize that decision as impeccable? Were there any of the reviews you read that you might feel are somewhat fair now? No, no, as many of the phrases are not similar to what they said to greats in thecommunity of video essayists. I often use prolific quotes throughout and cast out his modern grundle pastiche thinkers in conjunction with the aged thorium of the past that we see so clearly that it helps to really show how valuable the Letters are and how they translate today in relation to what we have been through and what we've been through before.
It offers a peptic annus explanation for the creatives behind The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens through another incredibly underrated and pandering philosopher. Hollywood movie star Richard Evans. Stupid people tend to overvalue their own abilities because they are too stupid to realize that they don't have them. have those skills Well said anyway, I want to refocus on Martha's work and the shelter reduced to rubble. She knew what Han had brought and Han knew they could have tracked him down. Finn pointed out that they could have been seen in the cantina from the moment they arrived, therefore, one way or another with full knowledge, Han Solo brought the First Order Storm to Mars, destroying everything she had and we did not receive nothing from her, no complaints or acknowledgment about the whole situation.
This is because she is not a character. However, she is another plot element, actually she is a prop to be more dismissive. Mars provides information on its own and will reappear to do so when necessary. She has no feelings or attachments to anything, which is sad when you think about how. The entire purpose of this prop is to recreate Yoda, a character whose scenes were built around his perspective on the force, his morality, and his history. Remember what happened when Luke simply insulted Yoda's house instead of destroying it? I want the lamp back. I'm going to need to get out of this slimy mud hole.
That line tells you more about him than we know about Mars. The clue should have been that Yoda became enormously impressive in his scenes. Once we knew what his story was and how he fit into this world. This was a common pattern with the Last Jedi, as well as the Force Awakens, repurposing old ideas into sloppy and downright hollow clones, but how did this happen? Well, I imagine the goal behind the materials, the characters and elements of the old movies were built from scratch. The world was in mind to provide something that people could see that matched the environment or existed as a result of what we knew had happened in this world. .
The creative process was free to expand and explore comparatively the idea behind many of the new films seems to be how to bring back that thing that everyone loved but also how to do it with a new look, this attitude begins to rot everything that binds the narrative together. together making it seem like a spectacle instead of a world, a corpse manipulated with puppets for the express purpose of extracting dollars from the audience. For some, that alone breaks the fantasy, but others need a little more back. It is shown to us for the second time. that Han has shot through the bow of him in the film and generates some light-hearted dialogue.
I like this, this now raises the obvious question of how in the world. It wouldn't hurt to know about this at least. You should be aware of the power behind this as you watch it fire over and over again. And he shot it for the first time less than half an hour ago only to do it again. Now this is absolutely a detail, but it is indicative of a larger problem, the concern of creating new content with old resources and a limited understanding of them, plus it is as if they are working with a fixed framework of OT and there they got their information about the characters.
What the furry guy has looks like some kind of weapon. What if the other person takes it off and has fun wearing it? You can say, "Oh wow, this is a good gun, it should give you a good laugh." It seems pretty shallow, especially compared to the comedy that is generated through attention to story and character traits. No hard feelings. Breaking point. You have a bad swing Strongest Avenger Breakpoint Aside from all that, the impressive and devastating power of the voc aster is established through the previous damage shot and the one here. Let's remember them. Can you imagine why?
I also find it funny that my praise of the film for refusing to apply full plot armor to the characters with the Chewie example game is now made redundant for a fight scene. Chewbacca's ability to shoot. The bow thrower is apparently unaffected by the fact that his arm has to shoot. being in a sling not a few moments ago I guess it was just a flesh wound a quick change can give you Hans Changing weapons with Chewie because the bow launcher was too heavy for the wound He held, then we could have a good moment with both of us appreciating the Instead, the style of others.
They seemed to have forgotten that there was even an injury until much later. Anyway, back to Finn, he runs into a soldier during the battle and stabs him with his newly acquired lightsaber. But before we can acclimatize, he runs into a second soldier who has some very strange equipment. This soldier comes with a blaster, shield, and space stun baton like no other. We have seen it from the first order in the past and in the future even though the previous battles were perfect for them, boy. What might you have a problem with here? The better question is what makes sense here.
Let's go with the blaster first. Why leave it when you could have offloaded it to Finn? Of course, the answer is that Finn can deflect lightning with his saber. But as we see, the soldier recognizes Finn as the guy who betrayed the first order about half a day ago. He then knows that Finn has no idea how to use his lightsaber and could do it. obviously he only aims for the legs But he doesn't even try, he immediately disarms himself in favor of winning a strange disadvantaged election But there we are, however, it is more important.
What about the shield? I'm sure a lot of people would justify its existence by saying that the armor is actually uniform and we shouldn't worry about it being ineffective against blasters or general damage. This was always a questionable explanation But now I guess it's canon since they have equipment for soldiers who really want to defend themselves. We can see that this is a relatively thin shield and a shield is self explanatory. We naturally assume that it blocks common damage like a disintegrating fire. You can add a stretchy mix of armor with a uniform, I get that, but not a shield, which means now we have to wonder about a particularly crazy idea.
What happens if you make the uniform for the soldiers with the material you used for this shield? They could be better off like you did with the plasma, although it's not like that makes her more effective in this little moment, which is kind of like our Maj in the moment in Back to the Future 2 or appearing in the Delorean steals the best. Don't be proud of that Ryan. In this case. I think he has nothing to do with the will of the stormtroopers. I think he has a shield solely to explain the staff. The fact is that the staff would be typical as a crowd control tool and is often found next to a shield in real life.
And so now you also have to have your sci-fi shield if you want the main device to block a lightsaber while also being a relatively reasonable tool for a random Stormtrooper, even if it calls into question much of what we understand. about this faction's armor Just don't think about it A force awakens is not a science lesson good things the general concept of a crowd control soldier makes a lot of sense Along with sand soldiers and snow soldiers, Different scenarios require different approaches, but why? In the world there would be a singular crowd control unit here and never again and Finn running into him when all sorts of soldiers were around, it's almost like that's an extremely weak excuse to have a prolonged one-on-one battle. with someone who can deflect a lightsaber within reason, they even have the soldier call out the traitor to make this seem a little more dramatic as a confrontation, but we've never met this guy before.
During the fight, the guy successfully slams Finn into the ground, but being a stun baton he doesn't do much damage despite being able to block it with a lightsaber. Actually, the man should have kept that blaster if you think about it. It is very fortunate that this weapon is capable of deflecting a lightsaber. Considering that the Jedi are a myth. probably. The only person these soldiers see with a lightsaber is their boss himself and 99% of typical soldiers do not have this setup. But yeah, Finn's second opponent after he started using this weapon turned out to be the only first-order soldier who was able to defend against it because that's how you write a script.
Anyway, moments before the soldier is seemingly about to kill Finn, Han Solo takes him down by firing the powerful bo beaver once again. I really think we should remember this, especially this. You know, let's talk about it, a lot of people do, why wasn't this soldier swapped for Captain Phasma? You could have had a back and forth speech in which she belittles him and references his inadequacy and his nature as a substandard stormtrooper. They then manage to fight against Phasma's winds and she is knocked out for love so Finn can have a confrontation with her another time.
It's simple but effective because, as it stands, Finn and Phasma's story is extremely weak, so why waste this easy opportunity, probably because there was no plan and Extremely? I do appreciate the next moment a bit though because seeing Finn nearly get killed while fighting the Storm Troopers is more than enough for Han and Chewie to trust him despite him being a former soldier. Han is letting her know that he still doesn't believe. the lie But he is willing to believe that he is not in the first order, even if his motivation is essentially just Rey at this point.
This whole scene is strange for other reasons, although there are a strange number of soldiers who don't exist until the boss battle part. it's over or I guess to be more precise they exist but they don't do anything when the fight with Finn starts look in the background There's a whole selection here that apparently gets lost Look how close they are getting but they still don't help their boy outside. In the end they do it, but it takes a long time. Watch this guy attack Finn. He is there. Your friend needs help No, what are you doing?
Oh, unfortunately, they are then captured and dragged away until there is a resistance counterattack led by Poe, Dameron. Yes, Poe Dameron is back and we're going to talk about it. But not. Until the next time our heroes are freed, Finn comes across a blaster and we get to see him score some good shots with it. Which is eventually done in a smooth, simplistic and precise way, then something interesting happens. Poe Dameron destroys ten different tie fighters as well as killing three stormtroopers over the course of 15 seconds, some feel that this move was too powerful when I would say that the film has told us and maintained that Poe's ability to piloting is nominal.
I had no idea. We had the best pilot in the resistance combo. He is the best. I see a point though. This is extremely rare and downright divine for a pilot in this universe, at least compared to what we've seen before. Being the best doesn't mean you should be able to achieve something like this when it comes to the Disney trilogy. There is a sense of spectacle at the expense of character sacrifice. No one will care about any type of explosion, ship or animal if there is no humanity behind it. JJ has a penchant for getting things going.
Poe can't just kill a couple. There has to be ten of them and who knows how many there will be when JJ is trying to get better. Do not misunderstand. This is something that I think works very well when balanced correctly. Of course, you get the most powerful force users the best lightsaber fighters the most intuitive fighters the most accurate blaster users the fastest and deadliest pilots the most creative mechanics and the best leaders people with strengths and weaknesses who fail at situations where they should and they succeed in situations where they should, I mean To be fair, Postal couldn't achieve a triple simultaneous kill as the resistance's top pilot.
Speaking of which, Kylo finds Ray and force freezes her. It's a kind of sexy move complete with spooky sounds. The victim is trapped in what appears to be a trance while he has complete control over his eyes. The interesting use of force matches what we know and yet feels a little new. It involves a strong level of power in Kyllo once again, so he asks her where. the droid is now, as I said above. It is revealed that the only reason Wright made her flee into the woods is for Kylo to capture her away from Han Chewie and Finn because of course they wouldn't let this happen with just Kylo now.
He knows that Rey has seen the piece of the map and is convinced that it onlyThey need that this movement does not make sense. Your goal is to find the droids so you can get to Skywalker on top and they made that very clear. Snoke wants to stop BB-8 from reaching the resistance to prevent the Jedi from rising again. This is something Kylo completely forgets for no reason: he could bring more soldiers, more fighters and take the planet securing the droid and preventing the resistance from achieving their objective. objective But instead, he takes Rey back to her ship to interrogate her in the hopes that she has what he needs.
We'll get to that nonsense in a moment. But for now, Kylo believes Rey has the information needed to find Luke Skywalker, the man he despises Kylo should be interrogating Rey right now like he did Poe while amassing more troops on the planet to overthrow the insignificant Resistance. He remembers that even in the final battle the resistance has very few ships in comparison, so instead he will take Rey to the end. to her ship and then trying to make up for that obvious mistake once Huck pointed out a bug that allows the map to reach resistance, this whole trilogy could have looked a little different.
If it weren't for that and he's concentrating only on her and you clearly think well He should be able to extract the information he wants now But because he's taking her away, you get the feeling there might be something else going on here Well, yeah, it didn't take him long with Poe and he already started Lo with Rey. They are in the middle of the forest, so there is no worry about interruption. If he wanted to kidnap her so badly because he feels she is strong with the force, then why not do both? I guess it's consistent that Kyllo has a history of handling his prisoners in ways that don't make any sense and aren't informed by his character at all.
Oh, I'm sorry that people have started to equate emotional instability with stupidity. Now it means that we can explain each of Hold Oh Huck's actions on Mars and Kylos by simply admitting that they are stupid when the plot requires them to be safe for an objective viewer and omniscient, it would make logical sense for Admiral Hall Doh to tell Poe Dameron. his plan and then there would be no conflict or drama. Poe would never send Finn on a mission and Finn would never grow up and Howe would never grow up and there would be no story.
Your job, as a writer, is to solve problems that prevent you from having the rewards you want. You are not supposed to give up and appeal to the idea that you had no other choice. That's a terrible argument and you should feel bad. If you combine this problem with Ray running into the forest for no reason, you realize that there is a solution that solves both arbitrary problems: keep Ray in the vicinity of the cantina, have him fight alongside Han and Finn to hit their relationships even more reasons to be meaningful, then setting off explosions and smoke grenades and having Kylo kidnap Ray during the confusion.
He wouldn't have time to question her and he would want to run away to make sure he didn't get hurt. We can assume this is related to the fact that he doesn't really want to kill Han and you can explain it. limited forces saying that he arrived there with a smaller, faster squadron designed to scout to allow for the surprise attack. That is why the resistance appeared a little later, but with a much stronger force. Once again we are faced with a complete disaster of unrest and On top of all this, look how many forces were sent to Takodana in search of the droid, note that this results in a victory for the first order.
Thanks to a distress call. It's weird how they had a whole star destroyer over Jakku and they sent. Two fighters marking time, Disney's Star Wars has ruined the Star Destroyers. They are the least threatening spaceship that has ever existed. They show up all the time and they know he cares. They have to invent ships that are bigger and better because Star Destroyers are appearing all the time. above, they are destroyed somehow and did so again in the rise of Skywalker. Remember when Star Destroyers existed? It's also scary for those who have a problem with my criticism of how they use their resources compared to the Empire.
Contrasting this with a new hope would not really be accurate or relevant. But these things always come up when the Empire searches for r2d2. They didn't even know there was a droid on the ship until they landed and even then they had more soldiers as a presence once they had targets, the numbers grew despite having to be careful when attack a Hutt-controlled system and our heroes fled in fear. a horde of soldiers that emerge only to end up fleeing with two Star Destroyers behind them, the first order in the entire trilogy has never shown that kind of care Initiative or intimidation outside the scene totally confusing from the beginning But even then those objectives were random defenseless villages after a few moments, not to mention during episode 4.
Our heroes used hyperspace to escape shortly after being found. Finn and Rey did not do that, leaving the first order to hunt them down immediately. But they just didn't, they were caught by multiples. other factions and there are things in this universe like scanning the Falcon at great distances and Hyperdrive trackers again scanning and tracking are two different things but hyperdrive tracking is not mentioned in the force awakens. All of this leads to the confusingly constructed scene we're in now and it's all about adding more and more narrative devices to drive the plot while forgetting the established ones while chilling the factions and all the characters at will, and Now I think it's a good time to address another argument that often comes up in these discussions: OT was as poorly written as the Disney Star Wars movies.
Good sir. Not first, according to that logic. You're trying to defend such a well-written movie by saying that another movie has bad writing. that doesn't work at all. This is known very simply as: what about ISM, this argument in its correct form? The format is intended to demonstrate. Your opponent is a hypocrite, but even if it is true he dissolves the initial argument. Second, sharing an element of bad writing in a project does not mean that you will have the same result as another project nor the same frequency or impact, it is very likely that there is a lot of context that can change the way the specific element is executed.
Third, the original trilogy has excellent writing. In fact, it has a lot of excellent writing and I hope to cover the topic eventually. But these things take time, so until then I will simply refer to the first and second points, although it must be said that the insistence on classifying these topics as irrelevant because they appear in other media is absurd, we should work to criticize them and then avoid them whether they appear in one or in many. What about the ISM? it never works and trying to bring down OT to the level of the sequel will only backfire.
They literally don't know which way is up. Anyway, the First Order retreats and Kylo successfully captures Rey. Interestingly, they leave with a force that honestly seems to have won the planet if they had continued fighting and received reinforcements. They decided to flee, look how small the incoming resistance force is and again. how small they are when they attack Starkiller base. And let's not forget it. You can simply get bb-8's location out of Rey and then you can find him on the planet. Remember me. Was that a big concern or not? Smoke said: Capture the droid if you can, but destroy it if you have to.
I mean, don't let the resistance get a hold of that droid. Okay, so JJ, on top of everything else, why did your character lose interest in the Droid? It will allow the resistance to reach Luke and then again, that depends on whether r2d2 wakes up or not, which is based on. What was it, right? Nothing, nothing at all. It's been quite an adventure, hasn't it? If you don't mind, I'll show some fan art on the screen while I deliver this ending. Have we discovered what could be called a treasure trove of failures in this selection from The Force Awakens?
I would gladly refer to it as the turning point of the film in terms of these videos, the praiseworthy elements becoming thinner and the problems ultimately piling up too much. I'm sure you've noticed that this series is almost a retrospective. for the sequel trilogy focusing more on tlj and TFA. In contrast, my previous series about a movie, a review of the last Jedi focused heavily on the last Jedi. Who would have thought that the eventual Rise of Skywalker videos would probably focus on that? movie with many references Outside of it too But I don't promise anything more than a long video.
For those of you who can't stand how much time is spent waiting for these videos to be made, I create additional content with other creators on e Fabulous, you will have seen several highlights in this video alone from Bruce Wayne's father. Who's just a cartoon idiot punching a joker in the face? Blade puts his hands on his son and almost threatens to do it. In reality, he had begun to choke from death. He just let him go because he realized what he was doing and then all of a sudden he sees this man who assaulted your butler and your son in the bathroom with you?
He says like me, my dad doesn't lie to me. You actually scream at one point and then he starts openly laughing at him and Thomas Wayne obviously doesn't know that's a condition and upon rewatching it I completely get it. I forgot after he hits him when he leaves the room. He says never put your hands on my son again. Yes Yes. You know a lot of people like lies or incompetence, it's a lie, because you can't meet J. Damn. Oh wow, it actually shows that clip. I want to change my vote to lie, okay? This isn't your Ghostbusters movie and that's okay.
It's time to let the kids play. Why don't you add the creepy line? Alright, let's see why the Mandalorian is a genius. We'll see where we go You have the sad piano, just worry about Dude, what I want to get into your head, you made this, so you chose black and white and the piano is. I guess it's a tone setter. You want to try and be like that should be taken seriously. There's a but I think it was more like how can I make this last longer than five minutes? I run a second channel called moolah and you can find lots of additional videos there in the meantime.
We've been creating reaction videos for Batwoman, the television series. Here is an example of what you can expect from them. Guys, afternoon, how do you look? What are dragons? That's a dragon But she deliberately pushed it through all the equipment They're right on the roof There's a propane tank on the east I'll distract them You made it in time to save her from drowning It's great, maybe take her upstairs. No, she holds the boat for 17 hours underwater. We parted ways with the first The Force Awakens Review, the third part began already in 2018, when the original script was made and redrafted.
Recording and editing work began shortly after the Rise of Skywalker Rage video was made and was delayed by the - April Fool's Videos I've basically been creating this three to four hour monstrosity for almost half a year as an army of one. only man. It was kind of a nightmare and I hope the editing was worth it. If you want to support the channel as I move forward. all kinds of media analysis videos. Then consider supporting my patreon or my subscribed star account when it comes to D monetization on YouTube. These sites are incredibly helpful in keeping everything afloat.
I understand that many of those who support me through these sites are consumed by the lack of updates on video creation, but as time went by I found that those updates were becoming redundant. In the end I decided to just keep working instead of telling people in posts that I was working, although I still tweet here and there about videos if you follow me on Twitter. You can see some screenshots or posts about possible releases because they are extremely easy to appear during production. I apologize if you feel like your support has been relatively dark and you're feeling starved for content.
But I really only have one day when I'm not working. My top videos outside of Evap So I want to take a moment to thank you all once again for allowing me to work on this as my full-time job. It's been great and I have no intention of relaxing. I often have opportunities to do so. talk about the progress of the videos in the Q&A sections of each break frame, if you haven't given that podcast a chance. I highly recommend it. It'll give you an update here and there on current Moeller happenings, as well as some hopefully informative media shots. and some lightness on the way The flag I claim nothing more.
We simply have the best flag. It doesn't mean anything, but in the end it means everything because everyone has a flag. I think I love the man. Let's take aglance. Yes, he is a man. He is a flanked man. Anyway, now I would like to announce something quite new in terms of support for this channel. Thanks to T spring I now have a product store. Basically you can find a t-shirt that has been created for all kinds of references to my previous work or a particular interpretation of my character. I have commissioned a lot of talented artists with all kinds of styles. and approaches to creating truly amazing work.
For example, we have a series of table designs that will most likely be used in future Sid Nicholson videos that cover some well-established attitudes that I tend to adopt. We have Pikachu that I drew myself. the flag of the Isle of Man And of course, reading some big idiots, plus we have Lesya's blackbirds taking on the long man. The Jesus stick and my desire to get whatever it is I'm currently covering. We also have Strada Maya coming in with my disappointment. Dragon Riders ideas about falling off platforms during Dark Souls 2 my heart all the crimes regarding having killed the art and the sad realization that Soma just isn't a horror game Oh and how about these Terra CID lobsters they draw some intense images of Longman?
Terrifying an innocent film critic or perhaps the long man pondering the viability of Snoke soup and there is another something completely inspired by something else. Do any of you remember this little highlight from so long ago? Oh, I drew a historical figure. Okay, member, okay. Group of friends. If I get hacked, that means I'm a human and an alien. If they have to get hacked this round, that would mean I'm a human and they're portraying me as an alien just for you. I know, and at least I've been hacked. I'm telling you I've been hacked. I'm telling you because that's: Either you've been hacked three times now, I've been hacked twice, and I've been hacked once in the At first I get hacked in the first round, right?
So who do you think is good? And they hacked me because I'm a human. Owen Metal hacked me. Why don't you agree with this? Wow, because I got hacked and before we were like ten I got hacked Well, that turned into shit, shit that I imagine would raise a few eyebrows in terms of meaning and quality. Regardless it looks like another image was made, one that celebrates such an idea in HD remaster form Yes, it's horrible and many more will make their way to this store page in due time along with many I haven't even mentioned in this same section, from additional versions of a logo directly from Omega Ridley to the main PFP I use it directly from the hallway tab.
I would recommend browsing the entire store to see if there is anything you particularly like. There are pillows, mugs, shirts, bags. There are many things. Of course, I decided to buy a bunch of shirts and a variety. Articles From what I can tell, it's a pretty strong quality and has the kind of media references that I imagine many of you will enjoy going back to my first Longman video. That and more are already on the site and I'll be sure to show you new designs as I move forward with more videos. And the commissions the site may take some time to deliver depending on where in the world you are and what is currently happening.
They are delivered with care at least in my case. As for the evaporation image and ice rags, I'll get that going in the future. First we want to test our own stores to make sure everything works and then start looking at hundreds of possibilities, there are a lot of fun things coming if you want to support this channel and something like patreon or subscription star is not preferable so maybe this type of products are links to everything there is. in the description The artist's patreon, subscribe, the Twitter star, the discord, the previous parts, the fabulous podcast, etc.
Thank you all for the support, generosity and incredible fandom. Have a nice day. And I'll see you all next time. Remember all the exhibits you had to explain to LAN and his handles? These turned out to be hers, from when she was a child. She is taken to a room in the lower areas of Maz Kanata No Does Isaac's renewed creative spirit working on independent, arty films like Card-counter mean he will probably never return to the Star Wars franchise, but who knows if he needs another house or something like that? A space janitor who walked all the way to the bank with that fat check and the opportunity to say that he worked on Star Wars.
Good or bad, something we would all love. A drink of Oscar for that.
