I'm just enjoying people who don't understand what terrorism is decrying it a terrorist attack.
Ren was powerful enough to force stop a blaster bolt mid-flight; why didn't he just force choke Finn to death? Finn had no force powers and would have no defense against that attack.
There were multiple parts in there movie in which Finn should have died but didn't and had other characters save his ass. He is the new Jar-Jar.
Yeah, there was this scene on Dagobah:Luke did do a flip...
Of course, this provides probably the strongest evidence of all of how much the prequels fucked up by overemphasizing flashy combat and lightsaber acrobatics as being the main role of a Jedi. You know you've gone way off-base when lines like "Your weapons...you will not need them," have been replaced with stupid shit like this:
The world has never been established as spherical. The sun and moon are raised by magic! Of course the planet is flat!
I got half way through the first chapter before I had to stop for my own sake.
Seriously? The princess raises and lowers the sun each day and some pony thinks the planet rotates? That's just bad writing. Like I said, the MLP universe is more likely to be a plane than spherical by simple observations. No scientist is going to even bother looking into the moon and sun's movements as they are governed by Princess Celestia.
There are globes present throughout the series such as the one in Golden Oaks Library, as well as a stained glass window right next to the throne that shows a spherical world and something that looks like Saturn. There are several references like this.
While nothing has been stated about rotation, it is heavily implied that in the general world view of Equestria, their planet is a sphere. It is accepted that Celestia and Luna control the movement of the two main luminaries, but there is also the fact that Rainbow Dash was dressed up like an astronaut during the most recent Nightmare Night episode. They have the concept of astronauts, of a globe world, etc. and yet it's clear they live on a plane. I am attempting to read between the lines here and write about this conspiracy which must exist in the canon world.
As you point out, by simple observations, it is clear that it is flat, but Celestia's word is taken as if it were the word of a goddess, and the pony race is a type of being that is easily conditioned. They are a herd animal and don't want to buck the trends presented to them if they have no compelling reason to question it.
One could just as easily argue (as many do) that simple observation reveals that we live on a flat earth, and yet most of us do not accept that as reality.
I think a big problem is that a lot of people here are not familiar with the series or its inconsistencies. This is why people are having a hard time understanding the fiction. I post it here out of courtesy because people were asking me to before.
It would only have taken a few extra lines in the opening crawl to clear up what the First Order and the Republic are.
That's what I assumed, then they started talking about a Republic which was apparently separate from the Republic but backed by it?Rebels.
Ok, did anyone understand the whole First Order thing enough to explain it without resorting to non-film material?
What? I'm not even talking about his spirit showing up. I'm just talking about what a douche he was and the audience is okay with it cause he saved Luke.
In the real world, people are typically not okay with someone that evil just because they sacrificed themselves for one person. Vader is a dick.
You seem to be under the impression the force gives a damn about light and dark. Vader could have simply appeared because he found peace with himself and was able to join the force. The internal conflict was resolved. Palpatine probably became one with the force as well, he's just a dick so he wouldn't show up to a bunch of good guys.Nah, that shit doesn't cut it for me. He killed sooooo many innocent people. Fuck you, Vader!I don't think him killing Han decided anything once and for all. That seems way too absolute. Anakin murdered all the younglings, killed Mace Windu, killed his former Jedi master Obi-Wan (as Darth Vader), and still went back to the Light Side in the end.He clearly made his choice though.
And one good deed hardly means Vader went back to the light side. I never understood that, he was responsible for so much death and destruction but when he saves his kid he's redeemed? No.
He didn't just save his kid, he threw his old master to his death and sacrificed his own life to do so. Anyway, this redemption is not like Christianity where you have a ledger of sins that must be atoned for, it is something that happens in the heart.
Also, Lord Dave, Rey had zero training with a saber yet was pretty proficient. That backs up what Vindictus is saying about using the Force over being a trained fencer.She also had zero force training yet mind controlled a storm trooper within minutes of even learning she could.
They didn't train Luke to do a flip either or pull shit with the force. There's a lot of "off screen" training that went on. Presumably, Yoda or ghost ben taught him how to use a light saber properly. If not, he had no chance against Vader. Ever.We never saw luke get trained in much. Should we assume he was only trained onscreen?
Well, yeah. There were only two Jedi in the original trilogy and both were dead by 6. Neither taught Luke to fight with a saber.
No where does he state the force is the only training he gives. Hell, he built a lightsaber. Surely Yoda taught him how.Also, Obi-wan mentions to Anakin how he needs to work on his sabering.
"If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman."
Ah yes, one of the many stupid fucking lines in the prequels. Lucas seems to have forgotten what they wrote for Yoda in the original trilogy.
