So random Question. Has anyone heard anything about how Driver did as the big Baddie.

I know I was reading a few tweets that the Kylo character was really well done, but I was just curious on how he did.

I didn't even read the review, that's just their opinion. No one is freaking out...

The person answers a bunch of questions- basically everything that happens in the movie and any lingering questions we still had from the leaked beats.

Sure, if the film didn't work for him, it didn't work for him.

But his initial comments make it sound like he was sitting through the whole movie waiting for specific lore details to be filled in. Doesn't really sound like he was being fair to the film by expecting it to answer questions it never set out to.

Right, And that is fair. but automatically ASSUMING that the movie is going be shit based off of one bad review, is stretching.

Because if your convinced its bad, when you see it, it will automatically be bad.

Confirmation bias, a powerful ally it is.
 
Ohwiseone said:
If I could find the tweet I will post it. but I saw a few mentions last night that it is Beautifully shot.

I'm so happy those shots we saw in the trailer continue throughout the rest of the movie.

Its got this clean but gritty realistic look its just amazing. I already can't wait for the blu ray, and I haven't even seen it yet. God bless real film.

JJ had a task that no one wants, and he didn't even want. No one will be satisfied completely. All he could do was set us on the right path.

that pastebin.

if it's accurate why would the people who made starkiller repeat the same weakness that the first death star had? utterly stupid.

How many people know what the first Death Star's weakness was? Everyone on the Death Star died. The Death Star was supposed to be a secret so not a lot of people outside the ones who were on it knew. A handful of rebels who are not likely to join the First Order knew.
 
Tbh I'm was anticipating a Debbie Downer post like the reddit dude. People always think it's ~v cool~ to go against the grain and dislike something that you know the majority of the GP are going to love, just because it makes them stand out and feel like a special snow flake.

With every moment that passes, I become more and more pumped for this film.

My last comment on negative nancy reviews that try to bring down the film...

“If you strike me down now, I shall become more powerful that you can possibly imagine.”

" As the sensation of dissonance is very unpleasant, most people tend to resolve it by converting their knowledge, beliefs, behaviours and perceptions so that they are consistent between each other. Sounds logical, indeed, but there is a catch: the resolution is usually through the path of least psychological resistance. For example, when the cults' prophecies were proved to be wrong, the followers' faith didn't diminish; to the contrary, it strengthened, because it is much easier to simply disavow pieces of evidence as "false," put up an excuse and keep on believing, than to change a belief that has grown to be an individual's entire soul, fiber and character. Even their memories are distorted; one such person claimed that the date of the world's end had never been given with certainty, and evinced genuine surprise when his own words were played back saying that the world would absolutely totally for sure end on that date."


"Other individuals, especially when they have support networks of others reinforcing a delusion or worldview, will go to such great lengths to rationalize away dissenting ideas that after a certain point, an admission of error would cause the collapse of an entire web of mutually-supporting beliefs. This would leave the brain with no ability to do its work, as everything it thought it knew would now be useless, resulting in agony/extreme fear of death and the activation of emergency self-protection mechanisms. Those mechanisms cause the individual to either go into an introverted reaction, with all-encompassing ignorance and cutting off any contact to those conflicting parts of the real world (See: Zen), or an extroverted reaction of trying to attack and destroy the sources of the conflicting information for heresy "

That's really not how I remember it. People thought they were extinct, not that they never existed.

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side."

"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes..."

People seem to think of it as nothing more than a silly old religion.

Despite my worries, I'm still hella excited about watching this movie.

Good! :)

After my disappointment in MGSV I thought it'd be nice if I stopped getting feverishly worked up and overhyping things for myself...so regardless of flaws if I walk out of the cinema with a smile and chatting to my friend about how awesome X scene was, I'll be happy. The real test is my patented BluRay test. When the Blu Ray comes out and I watch it, do I still have a smile or do I start to ruin it for myself.

He calls it an "ancient religion" which suggests to me that they see it the same way we see Greek Mythology or something like that. Certainly not that Jedi were running the galaxy 20 years before that.

Yes, but again that's very different form having no clue whatsoever about it.

I mean there's also quotes like this:
"The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion."

Or Jabba knowing exactly what a jedi is. Etc.

edit: so I mean it wasn't as strong. Regardless, it was silly too. Well, the prequel trilogy made it silly, I guess.

The quote from the pastebin is almost no one believes they existed. I'm sure it depends on what planet you live on. The beginning of TFA seems to take place on a planet in the middle of nowhere.

Tarkin is obviously more likely to know who a Jedi is than anyone else. I agree the original movies could be pretty inconsistent about it though.

They clearly chose a different shot with him sans helmet. I think it will be similar enough to where people won't really care.

Over exaggerating a bit.

That's pretty normal. They probably barely had little more than an assembly cut together last December. They would've had no idea if those were the shots that would make their way into the final cut.

Pretty much. Sucks though as the first shot is pretty good.
