Why is the First Order so forgettable compared to the Empire and CIS?

Why is the First Order so forgettable compared to the Empire and CIS?

Whatever happened to the concept of a droid army? Why did they scrap the idea altogether?

Because JJ refused to create them with any charm or character. All their vehicles are poor copies of Imperial ships.

You could admire Piett, Needa, or Veers for being skilled, disciplined military men who were pretty brave. Piett’s comment on losing his fucking shields was to fire the guns faster. It was in the old vein of recognizing there were good guys on the other side. Stormtroopers were a mix of menacing and faceless in the rights amount, but even they had a few moments of banter. Then you had Vader and the Emperor, both guys who had awesome
Aesthetics and scenes.

For the CIS, you had bumbling droids, weird Jew and Asian aliens, elegance in Dooku and presence in Grievous. They worked as a ragtag group of monied interests. Lucas again tells us “there were heroes on both sides.”

The first order has no heroes. Its bad guys are characterless by design, because Jew Jew wanted the Empire to be hated. Hux is more akin to the generic corporate bad guy in an 80s film. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Phasma is just totally uninteresting. Snoke is a mystery box that was filled with cement and thrown in the ocean. The best first order character was a stormtrooper who had a riot prod.

Because they're edgy faggots thought up by Disney on the fly and just copied the group that preceded them.

It was basically another one of JJ's mystery box props.

Flesh and bone is self replicating, a droid probably needs all sorts of metal alloys and rare earth crystals. Just encourage quiverfull and use the droid resources on more spaceships

I think the bigger question is where the hell were the meatbag armies? Where are the men, women and ayys fighting? You'd think a rebellion controlling half of the galaxy would have manpower to send to combat.

They were not edgy enough

That about sum it up?

Because they are literally a retread of the Empire, whereas the Empire and CIS were original.

I think the droids you could practically mass produce were considered shitty, and anything fearsome like a droideka cost as much as outfitting several living soldiers.

According to Disney writers. First order are white nationals somehow

...

Lol, no.

The well established enemy of the rebels. They were the empire. They had things going on, characters that mattered. Their existence had consequence to the greater world, not just the movie. The stormtroopers acted like any military men would. It felt pretty realistic as an entity and felt serious as a power structure. Their equipment and vehicles are well designed and cool.

They're disposable robots, something for the Jedi to destroy. But they're well defined disposable robots and have unique designs.

Disposable humans with well defined roles. They took the aesthetic of the empire and added some color. They had cool interesting equipment and vehicles. Plus the fact that they are human clones lends a whole bunch of interesting character stuff.

I don't even remember what the excuse for them existing is. They had a comical super weapon to compensate for the fact they had no real power whilst the empire had a super weapon to solidify their already established power. There's nothing interesting about them. Their equipment and vehicles are boring and generic. There's no humanization of the actual organization. They literally only exist to do simulate a rebellion

Despite hiring niggers?

You also forgot that the clone interacted with the Jedi in every scene, they were involved. Whole the First Order is just… uh totally not empire but we aren't any different.

Jews have no concept of honorable enemy: if you are on the other side, you need to be destroyed and cursed for all eternity. Everything down to the last brick in your country needs to be torn.

It worked with germans pretty well.

You forgot the resistance. The most forgettable faction in Star Wars history.

...

This is unintentionally brilliant. A woman who represents and supports the diversity pushed onto this movie by jews.. ends up murdered and humiliated by that same diversity that she helped create. It's like those EU politicians who get raped by Muslim migrants and then have to go on live TV and say that diversity is their strength.

You know what would have been cool? A race of xenophobic jihadists that want to slaughter the force and technology, represent conservatism taken to its logical conclusion and look like Cenobites out of Hellraiser. But Disney wouldn't do it because people would have seen too many similarities with Islam.

...

...

It's like Jo Cox

It's because the first order is a knockoff brand Empire.

They apologized profusely to liberals for existing and mindlessly supported Israel?

They're literally the Empire. Biggest remnant that didn't even go by the name "First Order" until about six years before TFA. I guess a fanatical sect took over what was left of the bumbling bureaucracy of the remnant there and created a revolutionary government. Hell, a big portion of the Galaxy just up and joined them anschluss style before TFA. The Rebels truly were shit after RotJ.

Isn't there a board for Soy Wars? Get this nu-male nerd shit off Holla Forums.

No, more like still stuck in the Middle Ages where they worshiped a pedophile goat-fucker warlord whose religion teaches to throw people gays off buildings, mistreat women and anyone that doesn't follow their edits- level of conservatism. The kind that liberals are unaware they are supporting that is even more conservative than the right-wings they hate.

Fuck off Holla Forums!

Because there's no story behind them. There's nothing that explains what they are about, who they are, what their goals is or how they came to be.

I am a liberal, and I think Muslims and Holla Forums are the same shit.

Yeah…Disney, if you don't know your enemy have gone into a battle you can't win.

There is, they're an Imperial Remnant that got cucked into a corner of the Galaxy, went full Nork and built up a little piece of shit demesne into a military power.

What irks me is that the female in charge of the army is a captain, a fairly lowly rank, and the guy leading the naval fleets is a general, which is an army rank. These guys will be fucked unless they figure out how proper military ranks work.

I've yet to see this explained in the two movie.

Not to play devil's advocate, but it took George about thirty years to give the Empire a proper backstory too. The full history of the nu-Empire is hashed out in several canon novels and some other shit. The only redeeming factor with the history is that the Republic is so shit like a third of the Galaxy voluntarily joined the Empire right before TFA.

Disgusting tbh

R-refugees welcome, amirite?

They're too individualistic. To many one off uniforms and ships designs. They all show their faces to much as well. Add on top of that, you don't know what they really are. Are they an offshoot organization working at the edge of the galaxy against the massive new republic. Or are they a massive empire working against a little new republic group. The films seem to imply both. They have no constant form, simply being whatever the plot needs them to be at the time.

You deserve the muslims your liberal politicians are importing.

I didn't mind Force Awakens but the First Order and the portrayal of the Empire was the dumbest fucking thing ever.

TFA is the same thing, you only think its not as bad now because of how terrible TLJ is

They wiped out the New Republic in one shot. The Resistance are terrorists and not popular at all in TFA and the other one. The nu-Empire is Blitzkrieging the entire Galaxy during the events of the new film.

Islam is the religion that fits white supremacy the closest.

White Supremacy is America in the 1950s. Not that America will ever get that back. A bit different then the Muzzies act in their countries m8ey.

Which is why it's a (((Semitic universalist))) religion, instead of traditional European paganism and panentheism.

Oh no. Its a pagan…

Ok lets all stop. Back to movies.

All your fault, tbh

no white people governments fit white people best ie the Modern Nation State which requires Nationalism to work.

That part sounds OK tbh.

no there would be dirty aids blood everywhere…electric chair or gas chamber like the prison system used to have

Yeah, I got that they were rapidly taking over the galaxy from the few lines a dialogue that Mary Sue had on it. But its never really shown, or explained how a small group could rapidly takeover the galaxy. In two movies there has been absolutely zero world building.

The Emperor was a nazbol and the CIS were libertarian secessionists puppets who ironically gave the state more power. Snook doesn't really have an agenda.

There is a million ideas on how the new trilogy could be made but they chose to go with a shitty Empire knockoff.

Gotta ride that nostalgia wave, user. It worked once, but now it looks like even the normalfags are seeing thru their BS.

Yuuzhan Vong/10

They're not really that small. From what I understand, they got a slice of mid-rim, outer rim, and pushed well into the unknown region as well, and a large piece of Republic peacefully split off and joined them a few years before TFA, as well as another domain that was officially the Empire but demilitarized joining them. Not to mention that a pile of Republic senators were aiding them financially during the "cold war" period before the new trilogy began.

What if Kylo Ren is the only one who realizes he's in a disney starwars movie and has made it his mission to mercifully murder every other character to free them?
