(seeing it tomorrow woohoo)
Moose! said:Maybe that makes it a poor sequel to VII (and a poor setup to IX, which is apparently going to completely ignore VIII), but as a stand alone film I think it works really well.

It is literally offtopic for Mount and Blade, and therefore belongs here according to the Deep Magic.

Bold of you to assume most AG regulars even play Mount and Blade games. You're welcome to stay tho

It wasn't concerned so much with actual plot or characters (and the numerous inconsistencies point to this as well as to the jigsaw puzzle behind-the-scenes handling of the film) as much as it was with "themes", often at the expense of the former.
And I guess we'll stay entirely separated if that's what everyone wants. It doesn't have to be that way though. We exclude topics, but we don't exclude people. We just want each area to have it's own easily moderated and clear discussions, and if it isn't related to TW games it's discussed somewhere here.John7 said:Cpt.

Exactly why we wanted it back in the Warband section. It is literally an entirely different group of people. Apparently the Warband forumites are not allowed to discuss anything in their section of the forum other than Warband.

What part of the characterization didn't you like? To my mind, I thought it was interesting to see two of our three heroes (Finn and Poe) fail in their goals because they make a series of (somewhat illogical if you're a ninny nitpicker) mistakes despite their heroic intentions - it keeps in line with the themes of the film, and the set pieces and pacing around it were engaging from my perspective. Kylo coming into his own as a proper villain felt satisfying to me as well - he's the only Star Wars villain with a plausibly human motivation, given that his fall to hatred is so clearly driven by an interpersonal rejection from people he loves (Luke in the past, Rey in the future, contrasted with Anakin who was rejected by his loved ones only AFTER he fell to the Dark Side for no real reason other than stupidity). The direction they took Luke was perhaps my favorite - I totally buy his disillusionment with the Force when the Force told him that Kylo Ren would fall to the Dark Side, so he rejected Kylo Ren which in turn CAUSED HIM to fall to the Dark Side (I also particularly liked how they showed that scene differently from two perspectives).
The biggest weak point in characterization for me was Rey, but I actually think that's comparable to the OT - Luke wasn't much of a character either, apart from being generally affable but a bit whiny. I'm generally okay with having the main protagonist in an ensemble piece be a bit dull so they can serve as an every man.
