is there a specific reason ppl are freaking out about Adam Driver's chest? did 35 years of Tom Cruise ruin Hollywood masculinity permanently?

people think his head was digitally shrunk relative to his pecs

yeah I think the disproportion is the main thing that shocked people

that sequence also stands out because franchise stuff has been so determinedly sexless

There is no sex in the SW Galaxy,babies come from a cave

I'm talking about recent Disney/Marvel/DC shit.

(With a couple of minor exceptions)

amazing they went to a Casino so that this guy:

could learn that slavery is bad from watching these kids:

lol nm i'm bad at this

God, you are such a moron.

He doesn't "learn that slavery is bad." He learns that beneath the bright, shiny surface of a planet of unimaginable largesse and beauty -- the kind that he's never seen before, given that this takes place literally days after previous movie, and for which he's tempted to lump the whole fight and stick around -- lies a corruption supported by war profiteering and abuse.

This shit is all there, on the screen and in dialogue. Hell, there are people in this thread complaining that it's too on-the-nose. And yet you somehow (somehow!) failed to get it.

xxp

this seems like a worthwhile diversion

He should have known slavery is bad tho. Jedi Master Lincoln outlawed it.

Finn was raised by stormtroopers. I'd imagine he doesn't know much about the galaxy in general.

Yea he makes sense as someone who is in touch with the galaxy, a few weeks ago he didn't have a name and had spent 20+ years wearing the same uniform

*not in touch

Like, if people don't like the movie, fine, don't like it. But to not like it just because you're incapable of understanding what's happening in it is your fault, not the movie's.

Side question - what SW comics if any are worth reading

cognition-shaming itt rn

Doctor Aphra is good, too -- she's like a mostly-amoral space Indiana Jones. She was introduced in the prior Vader series and got her own title this year.

Thanks!

is there a "backstroke of the west" version yet? he asks anxiosly

the porgs were no less dumb than any other cutesy creature that has been embedded in this series from more or less the beginning. They barely registered with the exception of the incredibly bad looking cooked one.

i cannot compute not loving Poe

he is an angel from heaven

i like poe, probably because i love oscar isaac

I don't know how the cat in ILD didn't wanna jump his bones at all times

Oscar Isaac is good, but they're not really giving him a whole lot of interesting stuff to do.

I do like the idea of having an incredibly charismatic rebel leader making really bad decisions ultimately leading to many many deaths.

bwahahaha

Christ

I love that audiences are so hair-trigger with freaking out that ten seconds of silence warrants an entire FYI message to be taped on the door

like would these people have been watching The Day After and screaming at the TV during the prolonged nuclear explosion scene "OMG THE SOUND"

That is sad

could also be just overreaction by the theatre. nobody in my IMAX opening night showing lost their minds

also maybe a joke, in reference to that one theater where the sound was off from the very start and the audience almost tore the place down

found something with zoom & enhance:

Hahaha

I almost want to make it my life's goal to get that line in one of the movies somehow.

ROFLZ
