STAR WARS: EP 7 ***SPOILER ZONE*** - Go here if you've seen it (1 Viewer)

[Capella]

There were also females in episode 4 and 7. And both movies were set in space IMO

 

[Hang 10]

You forgot that there was a female protagonist taken prisoner by the bad guys and held in the base/superweapon, and the other protagonists have to then go rescue her.

Good call.

Wait, they are set in space or it's just your opinion that they're set in space?

Watching 4 last night, it really isn't anything like 7 at all. People are just seeing what they want to see IMO.

It has a similar feeling as 4. And that's a good thing. Some people are just miserable.

This theory that Rey is Obi-Wan's granddaughter has some merit:http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/this-new-star-wars-fan-theory-might-hold-the-key-to-reys-parentage

There are rumours of a one-off Obi Wan movie set between Episodes 3 and 4 Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope.

I'd love to see that, starring Ewan MacGregor. It could cement Obi Wan as the greatest Jedi ever, and as long as he's not older than Alec Guinness was in 4 when they film it, the timing will work.

What would he do in this movie? Hang out in the desert and try to hide his identity?

Obiwans hay day was the Clone Wars. So yea the period between 3 & 4 while long would be weird to have him doing too much when he's supposed to be hiding. But maybe they make him like an A-team.

In 10AE, a crack Jedi was sent to prison by a military court for a crime he didn't commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Mos Eisley underground. Today, still wanted by the Empire, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him....maybe you can hire The O-Team.

Du dun dun da! Dun dun da.

With Qui Gon out there as a force ghost, and Yoda on Dagoba, I could see a small organized Jedi council of sorts that works clandestinely against the Empire/Vader without being found out. There's tons of interesting stuff that could be accomplished there. Heck, Vader knows that Obi Wan is alive, so you could even have him pop his head up every once in awhile and have Vader take a swipe at him.

Nothing says that he stayed on Tatooine the whole time he was hiding out there. He sure seemed to know how to pick up a ride with a smuggler in Mos Eisley - he had to get that knowledge somewhere.

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah

Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

It was a good movie but anyone trying to argue that it wasn't immensely similar to the OT is just schticking. It's not like they were trying to make anyone think differently, the movie even makes fun of itself for doing so.

 

[Doug B]

Craziest thing in the world if, since the Academy now nominates 10 movies for Best Picture, The Force Awakens gets a courtesy Best Picture nomination based on cinematography, effects, sound, costumes, make-up, and such? But with no acting, directing, or screenwriting nods?

Kind of like how it was for A New Hope at the 1978 Oscars?

EDIT: Ack -- totally forgot that Alec Guiness was nominated for Supporting Actor, and Lucas was nominated for Director and Original Screenplay. Pretty certain The Force Awakens isn't getting any of that, though. Maybe Abrams is a dark, dark horse for Director.

Well to be fair the original didn't deserve any Academy nominations outside of technical stuff.

I see it all as a brilliant business move.

Use this one as a stepping stone for more movies. Basically redo the originals, updated with a 2015 action movie style, setup a new lineage of characters. If that formula is executed at least decently well, you get a huge box office take and you've setup storylines to take in any direction. Low risk. Even if the next one sucks it will easily make $500M. Running on cruise control from here, Disney has already made their money back buying Lucasfilm.

Watching 4 last night, it really isn't anything like 7 at all. People are just seeing what they want to see IMO.

That being said, lets take a look at the ways that Episodes IV and VII mirror each other.

1. Theres a droid carrying valuable information who finds himself on a desolate desert planet.

2. Theres a Force-sensitive, masked, and darkly clothed antagonist who arrives on the scene shortly after the information is handed off, looking for the droid.

3. Theres a desert settlement that is wiped out by stormtroopers.

4. Theres a hero whos tortured by the bad guys to retrieve the information.

5. Theres a lonely, Force-strong desert dweller who dreams of more.

6. Theres a worldly old warrior who has to explain the Force to the next generation.

7. Theres a cruel military officer who holds a comparable level of authority to his Force-sensitive, masked, and darkly clothed colleague.

8. Theres a mostly unseen supreme evil thats pulling the strings from the shadows.

9. Theres a criminal element thats owed a debt by Han Solo and attempts to kill him after he screws up their arrangement.

10. Theres a cantina filled with various alien creatures.

11. Theres a moment when one of the heroes abandons the fight as a self-preservation measure, but he eventually returns.

12. Theres a massive spherical weapon thats used to destroy a planet.

13. Theres a base belonging to the rebel forces on a forest-covered world.

14. Theres a surrogate father figure who is cut down by someone previously close to him, who has turned to the dark side.

15. The hero watches helplessly from afar as the surrogate father figure is slayed.

16. Theres a coordinated aerial attack on the massive spherical weapon thats monitored from a control room by Leia.

17. Theres a trench that X-wings flew through in order to fire on a vulnerability in the weapon and destroy it.

18. Theres a massive explosion that gives the rebels a major victory but likely allows the Force-sensitive, masked, and darkly clothed antagonist to survive to fight another day.

Other than that it's, totally different!

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/19/star-wars-force-awakens-new-hope-similarities

That's only a partial list. Could probably come up with 18 more before lunch.

You do that.

My wife doesn't even know what "shticking" is, so no, I doubt that.

I honestly have no idea how someone could watch the OT and TFA and not see the vast similarities.

Our hero, who happens to be a very good pilot, lives on a barren desert planet, unaware of his/her connection to the force. He/she comes across a droid who's carrying a valuable piece of information that they need to deliver to the right person so that person can get it to the resistance/rebellion that they are apart of. Their means of transportation to said resistance/rebellion is the Millenium Falcon.

The bad guys, represented foremost to us via a force wielding villain dressed all in black with a voice modulating helmet, use a giant spherical weapon to blow up a planet(s). That force wielding villain kills the older mentor-like figure who was a key part of the previous trilogy as our hero watches. An X-wing makes a trench run to shoot the giant planet killing object's weak spot and blow it up.

Which movie am I talking about?

This is like the 4th movie with a Death Star in it. That's more of a trend of the bad guys than a copy of the original movie.

Her: What? Who? People on the Internet? Why? Just because of the space station thing?

Me: yea and the bar scene.

Her: they can only have one bar in the galaxy? Nobody else is allowed to drink? I thought it was a big place. That doesn't make any sense, that's stupid and people just want stuff to complain about. These movies aren't alike at all. You need to start spending less time on the Internet.

Well, at least she is right about the last part

I think people are trying very hard to convince themselves that they liked it. TINY DETAILS!!!!

I honestly have no idea how someone could watch the OT and TFA and not see the vast similarities.

Our hero, who happens to be a very good pilot, lives on a barren desert planet, unaware of his/her connection to the force. He/she comes across a droid who's carrying a valuable piece of information that they need to deliver to the right person so that person can get it to the resistance/rebellion that they are apart of. Their means of transportation to said resistance/rebellion is the Millenium Falcon.

The bad guys, represented foremost to us via a force wielding villain dressed all in black with a voice modulating helmet, use a giant spherical weapon to blow up a planet(s). That force wielding villain kills the older mentor-like figure who was a key part of the previous trilogy as our hero watches. An X-wing makes a trench run to shoot the giant planet killing object's weak spot and blow it up.

Which movie am I talking about?

Nailed it.

Well, I enjoyed my second viewing today

It was a good movie but anyone trying to argue that it wasn't immensely similar to the OT is just schticking. It's not like they were trying to make anyway think differently, the movie even makes fun of itself for doing so.

My wife doesn't even know what "shticking" is, so no, I doubt that.

Sounds like there's quite a few things she doesn't know.

Cool. Gonna attempt to crack on my wife who doesn't post here because she really likes a movie you don't. You're such a miserable loser my god.

You brought her into it. Youre seriously going to take offense to that?

If your wife doesn't see the similarities, she fell asleep during one of the movies or wasn't paying attention for other reasons. Doesn't mean she can't like them. I don't care if they make 5 more movies just like it. They are enjoyable.

But Episode 4 and 7 are very similar and this isn't something that is up for debate. It is undeniable.

Your comment is ten times worse.

"I brought her into it"

Not liking this movie is serious business.

Would you guys freak out if I said I thought Star Trek: First Contact was better than ALL the Star Wars movies?

I actually really liked the movie and have seen it twice. That still pretty serious?

There is no need to get offended because your wife didn't notice how similar the movies were. I am not offended and I know hang ten isn't offended. In fact he probably isn't even offended that you called him a miserable loser.

I liked the 2009 reboot more than I liked star wars so I won't throw any stones.

Just got back. When they walk into the bar, one of the aliens look like Sloth from Goonies.
