I'm surprised nobody's talked about The shittiness that was Captain Phasma.

I'm entirely convinced they made her character just to have a cool looking toy

Most of the shite they did was for toys. Hamster things? Toys? shite speeders that couldn't do anything and added nothing to movie? Toys. You could go on and on

You mean when Finn was miraculously and totally unforeseeably saved from death by plot armor 3 separate times in quick succession and then smashed his ginger plantation owner's head in?

The First Order in this movie was basically run by Dr. Evil.

Why in the frick did they not carry through on one single threat?

They failed to fire their cannons on the initial transport.

They failed to fire all of their cannons at the escape pods

They failed to take out the main transport after the pods left

They failed to execute Finn and Rose

They failed to break into the rebel base

And not one of those was because of the resistance. It was because of gross incompetence on the part of the first order.


And all because they're fricking retarded and the script writers refused to let them do anything.

I was waiting for this exchange between Ren and Hux:

quote:

Dr. Evil: All right guard, begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism.

[guard starts dipping mechanism]

Dr. Evil: Close the tank!

Scott Evil: Wait, aren't you even going to watch them? They could get away!

Dr. Evil: No no no, I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying, I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. What?

Scott Evil: I have a gun, in my room, you give me five seconds, I'll get it, I'll come back down here, BOOM, I'll blow their brains out!

Dr. Evil: Scott, you just don't get it, do ya? You 
dont

I read a review where a critic said you learn much more about Phasmas character in this one, so i was excited.

I have no idea WTF he was talking about

Phasma was the slave driver on the plantation. Didn't you get that?

At least Boba Fett was cool, was a mercenary bounty hunter, and actually accomplished his reason for being there.

Agreed. They couldn't let the father of the Alliance Navy be the one to jump the cruiser into Snoke's ship? I don't even know the point of that lady admiral's character, shows up and than dies?



Because in Disney’s mind, people will relate more to a pretty woman than an alien fish. The problem, however, is that this was a completely new and unknown character who we cared nothing about.

This movie was made for a general audience and not Star Wars fans.

That’s why I said the obvious choice was Wedge Antilles. Only survivor of the x-wing squadron from the OT - in all three movies. He later becomes a general.

He would have been perfect BUT Poe needed someone to distrust to push the scooby doo plot forward and Disney wanted to have a subtle lesbian scene so here we are.

Boba fet was a major part of the storyline that culminated in Han being frozen in carbonite. My favorite scene in Star wars.

What scene does Phasmas character set up? Does phasma serve any purpose at all other than to give Finn something else to do?

Why did it look like they spent $50 on Yoda's cgi? A puppet would have been best. The prequel Yoda was still better. frick

Bingo. And yeah, the movie hinted pretty strongly that she and Leia were lovers.

Poe's constant cutesy fourth wall breaks were cringy as frick. Where he'd run up go the camera and say some unnecessary exposition.

And why in the hell did Hux decide to open a comm link and try to talk to him? Why not just blast him? They never ever at any other point that I can ever remember from the Sith to the Empire to the first order ever opened a communication with a ship instead of just blasting them.

You have the renown best pilot of the resistance in his custom unique fighter and you don't kill him?

You know what's really sad about this movie?

Luke's final revelation about the truth of how he failed Kylo might be one of my top 5 favorite moments of the entire franchise and I wont watch it again because I have to watch him say laser sword and milk an alien penis bukkake first.

Has anyone bitched about BB8 piloting a walker yet?

If not I want to take a second to do that



I had flashbacks of 6 YO Annikan flying a fighter
