Rey is a joke. Stop defending her.

Sort of like a whining farm boy that has no space battle experience flying an X-Wing against the best pilots that the empire has to offer??

You have to accept some craziness. Rey is no less of a crazy story than Luke... Unless we find out her parents were just regular people and then I'm going to have an issue. :lol:

:lol:

This is terrific.

Hank and KD are right.

Rey holding off a wounded opponent who wasn't trying to kill her isn't that absurd as SOME would have you believe

You mean like when Vader was pretty much fucking around with Luke in Empire until Luke got a lucky shot in?

Yeah, Rey's completely ridiculous. :lol:

i also look at it as there's different disciplines within the Jedi order and for that matter the Sith. KOTOR even states that the color of lightsaber from the chosen crystal is attuned to what type of Jedi that warrior is.

Ren isnt a sith lord yet, he was wounded by Chewbacca from a blaster-bow that had previously decimated multiple troopers at once. he just murdered his father and a superweapon planet was literally crumbling around him. rey is clearly force sensitive with untold back story to her true identity (my theory is she was part of Luke's original classes that got slaughtered by the Knights of Ren - so her training was already begun) and the lightsaber isnt some mystical weapon that only few people can wield. its a weapon. if someone were familiar in that form of combat, they could effectively use a lightsaber. it just happens to be the weapon used by the jedi and sith.

I'll say this about Rey, she doesn't run like a girl. Both in this trailer and in the previous movie. She's athletic with some speed.

Colin Treverrow is a hack and I was glad they dumped him. That briefly gave me some hope they'd get somebody interesting to direct 9, but they went safe with JJ. Could have been worse I suppose. Would guess there needed to be a lot of changes with Carrie dead, so it's another chance for him to "reboot" a series.

if "the force awakens" was a clone of "a new hope" (which it pretty much was), this looks like it's going to be a clone of "empire".

they need to ramp up the characters for this one, because that's what made "empire" special.

Not really interested in the Han spin-off; Episode 8 & 9 I'll go see.

Best part about this trailer was how Kylo ren's custom TIE Fighter is seemingly an updated version of THE BEST DAMN SHIP IN ALL OF STAR WARS, the TIE Interceptor.

Image

Did anyone here ever play the GOAT star wars game, TIE Fighter (with honorable mention to X-Wing vs TIE Fighter) ?? I loved rocking the fastest ship in the fleet with 4 lasers (fire single/double/quad, and you could also divert power from your laser strength to the engines if you wanted to go even faster -- great shit!!

I thought it looked pretty good. Guessing there is quite a bit of mis-direction with the way the scenes are cut and such but like W_Z
mentions above, pretty sure this is going to end poorly for the good guys with at least one main character ( Luke and/or Leia ) getting
snuffed out and Snoke becoming ultra powerful.

It looks good to me. I am certain I will be entertained as well as surprised. Many thoughts I read were that this trailer is a bit of misdirection. Example: It looks as if the scene where Rey talks of needing help to figure feelings out and Ren's hand is out is very similar to the flashback/dream in which she sees again the Temple burning with Luke's hand crawling out.

I've never really gotten the feeling that the Empire is such a bad place to live for the average person. It doesn't seem like it is a people's revolution against it

Looks like Rey is actually a spawn of the dark side. Probably flips to them. Looks like the whiny bitch bad guy in the first one starts to turn to the good side.

It seems like a battle between factions of the ruling class over who is going to rule.

In reality, it should probably be a battle between those who believe in the force and those that do not. That is a true philosophical disagreement. Both sides both pretty much consider the Jedi/Sith to be silly.

Empire also does not like Aliens,very human centric.
