Disney Scraps Plans For Further Star Wars Storys

Challenge analysis?? I have a different reaction to you. That is my right.

Nah.

If your ‘reaction’ to things is to just endlessly repeat the same 2-sentence comment, then you don’t have the ‘right’ to be free from challenge or outright dismissal.

You also don’t actually have the ‘right’ to post at all. But that’s neither here nor there.
 
IMPOV this image says it all.

Here we have a classic example of a common Trope with these "New" characters. This image is wrong, because why display Rey so prominently with these classic characters? With all in Common, and yet we see Luke way in the background there. Why is that? With all those Characters was not Luke the Star of that scene, should he not be featured prominently? The answer is obvious, but to that in a moment.. Why is Rey the Star of the New Star Wars not racing the First Order characters? Where is the Kylo Ren racer? Why aren't the New Star Wars characters not featured? It's like they know the others are sellers, and here's the common Trope part, they have to feature the new Character with the classic ones so that they can validate their creation. That's kinda Ironic from a Franchise that wants to let the past die, kill it if you have to. Yet all this marketing seems to have been for not, as the Toy sales have severely dropped, and as we know...

Not to nitpick your statement, but Rey is actually racing a First Order TIE Fighter, and it's pilot (White winged / radial panelled, Black TIE, right behind her) - harking to the scene in TFAs when she flies the Falcon across the Star Destroyer graveyard on Jakku while being pursued by First Order TIEs.

So technically speaking, she's racing a 'new Star Wars character' - although not a named main character, but an example of the First Order military - so 'character' perhaps in being one such visual cue of a fascist, faceless / helmeted symbol of the First Order.
 
Oh so that is finally the truth of the what this forum is about??


That posting and participating here is a privilege, not an entitlement?

Well, that’s certainly some truths.

Tell me: what do you consider ‘the truth of what the forum is about?’ Does it involve the proliferation of chemtrails and recruitment to the Reptillian subversion of the human race? Cos that first one would be totally ridiculous.

Luke literally strolled onto the field of battle when all hope was lost like a samurai, survived a barrage of laser fire that left a smoking crater the size of a shopping mall, then mind fucked Kylo while giving the Resistance time to escape, and did all of it while using the Force from a planet halfway across the Galaxy. How people don't find that incredibly badass is beyond me.

Badass but the end result of all that show-offery is a tiny remnant of resistance crammed into the Falcon and Rey is still a virtually worthless Mary Sue.
 
Why display the starring character of the current trilogy so prominently?

Haven't the faintest idea why they would do that... :rolleyes:
I think you missed the context and the point of what I was saying, I mean why else put a rolling eyes emoji, right? I'm sure it's not sarcasm. I think you just misunderstood.. "Why place the prominent character with the classic ones, when she should be featured with the new characters?" If they are so popular now, why flaunt the original trilogy ones? Why would Rey the best Jedi in the universe and history of Star Wars, why would she need the clout of the Original characters to sell a toy? She should be selling shit like hotcakes with just that blank expression and mouth wide open like she does every scene. That is what I was saying. I would think that was clear, but whatever, there you go.

Rey happy =:eek:
Rey Scared=:eek:
Rey angry=:eek:
Rey confused=:eek:
Rey tired=:eek:
Rey Hungry=:eek:
Rey Pondering how she can own the Falcon by just having it handed to her=:eek:

At least Daisy is a consistent actress.:techman:

Am I the only one who was totally satisfied with who her parents turned out to be?

In the grand scheme of things that's one of the lesser disappointments in The Last Jedi.

I mean, we can go down the list and almost every flaw with the film has a rationalization, but taken as a whole, you have a bunch of questionable decisions that are dependent on a boat-load of rationalizations. That adds up to an incoherent or almost improvisational vibe rather than the more stately (foreshadowing/payoff) vibe of a traditional epic.

I think we have fundamentally different views on the film :D
 
I wonder why it's ok for Luke in ANH to out fly a season WAR Fighter Pilot in Vader who had a stronger connection to the force at the time but the sabre battle in TFA is a step too far. I can't imagine what could possibly be the difference hmm :whistle:

He didn't outfly Vader. Han swooped in and shot Vader's ship otherwise Luke would be dead.

Luke paid most of his dues in Empire where he got spanked by Vader in the duel and lost his hand. Rey never had to pay those dues. She's been a badass from the first moment, hence a Mary Sue.

Luke didn't get into a saber fight until movie 2, unlike Rey. Luke never used force suggestion until Jabba's palace. Rey used it almost instantly, etc...

There's really no debate that Rey is a Mary Sue in comparison to Luke.

It's a passing of the torch thing. Rey needed to be placed in TFA with Han so she could replace his skill set. Then she needed to offset Luke in Last Jedi to replace his skill set.
 
The end result was a sad little fade out :(
A heroic sacrifice.

It's called marketing. Put the new stuff prominently because that is what they think people will be looking for.
 
Amazing, everything you just said is wrong.

Saying something is wrong without proving it is worthless.

I'm seeing a lot of one-liner "NOPE" and "WRONG" replies here. IMHO, it's a sign of a weak argument, borderline trolling behavior.

I absolutely agree. As a woman I find it disappointing and just touch patronising. I want my female characters to be stand alone and not have their qualities forced. (Forced... get it :lol:).
