Did anyone else think they botched the light sabers in Force Awakens...

I always thought the weightlessness of the weapon played into the "more elegant weapon for a more civilized time" shtick.

Would also explain them being able to deflect blaster fire, because it only takes a twitch of the write to reposition and move the blade. It should look effortless for two jedi to fight.

Oy vey, what will zognald drumpf think of such hatred like this?

I admit I laughed.

Also why does everyone in the movie just trust her simplicity? I re-watched it with Rifftrax and the flaws really stand out. The first time you see it, you're thinking "oh this is better than the prequels, actual stuff is happening and it's not Jar-jar or Jake Lloyd cringefest", so you kind of enjoy it…but all of that fades away when you actually think about it for a second. I found myself pointing out scenes that were lifted from the OT in huge chunks for nostalgia purposes.

The Rifftrax is out already?

Where can I pirate it?

The JIDF gets more and more desperate to drum up people to go against Trump and neo/pol/.

Please fuck off.

I liked it better than the prequels.

Who let Holla Forums in here? Fucking liberals always flock to movies.

That is why you fail.

Aww, did we trigger you, Holla Forums? Maybe you should go back >>>Holla Forums

...

yes, everything in that movie is shit.

all of h8chan is Holla Forums

prequel fights were awful you fucking 12 year old

of all the things you could have possibly complained about, this makes you seem as much as possible like a twelve-year-old fanboy

Holla Forums is now /reddipol/, and ancientfags avoid all contact with it.
millennial id politics are never on topic, Holla Forums.

The lightsabers was one of the few things they got right in TFA. They feel alot more dangerous than they do in the prequels

And the OT fights were flawless, right?

The lightsabers in the prequels were handled by Jedis at the top of their game – in TFA they were handled by a bunch of newbies and wannabies.

all me

He said they looked better than the shit fights in TFA, you mong, not that they were good. Also, .

Lol, no.

honestly THIS

a fucking lightsaber!

you're supposed to have mastered the basic use of the force before you can even construct one.

and while you're costructing one, you're not supposed to be attuned to a different alignment of color, or the whole thing falls apart

how the fuck this kid, this kylo renfaire, was able to build a red lightsaber with no jedi influence and to the point where he needed vents that were not SPECIFICALLY made of mendalorian iron is fucking ludicrous

it ruins the whole goddamned universe in a sea of stupidity

Damn, I'm good at editing pictures in paint.

all me

...

...

...

That's pretty much what I was saying, yeah.

do you have to do this in every thread>?

this is a fucking imageboard with no robots.txt file tro archive anything we say.

the fucking .moe archive will never work again

you may spend all the extra effort you want in being perfectly grammatically and spellingly correct, it makes no difference to the fucking point of the post

now shut up and stop nitpicking

It refered to placing an extra return after everything you say because reddit uses double returns for one linebreak

I did that shit in like 18 seconds, god I'm good.

prove it

i cant help that man i have done that for everything i ever wrote that was a disjointed thought in a sub-formal environment since i was 15

You already know I can do it, me, I just did it.

But do I know you?

During the ROTJ shoot Lucas told Hamill that he should use the Lightsaber as if it were heavy like Excalibur.

By the prequels he seemed to have ditched that idea.

Of course I know me, me.

reddit didn't start that you retard, anons have been doing double returns since chan boards have been around

yeah, they make look incredibly stupid, but that's beside the point

The thing to remember is that Jedi are essentially Samurai and lightsabers their katanas. It makes sense as to why a Jedi would prefer a lightsaber over other weapons, its a sign of status, of their nobility, of their efforts and hard work.

There's a reason the Emperor referred to them as a Jedi's weapon and never used one in the OT. Vader only kept his because of his past and not quite falling entirely to the Dark side. One of the worst things Lucas did IMO is introduce lightsaber wielding Sith in the prequels. It carries over to this new trilogy as well now, though Kylo is pretty much just a Vader fan boy and trying to become him.

...

1. 8ch Holla Forums isn't that bad
2. how is it even possible to make the argument that liberals aren't the majority of the people who still go to see dogshit movies?

but kylo ren was once ben solo

count dooku was once dooku, qui-gon's master

the only times where it doesn't work is for maul and sheev, and even then maul had a training saber, and sheev was just dicking around.

...

This has got me thinking… which is worse?

The prequels, which are horribly made but still fairly creative, or TFA, which was more competently made but completely uninspired in every way?

you sure know a lot about reddit. hmmmm.

...

No, say what you like about the prequels, but the sabre fights were pretty cool.

Obviously they botched it. Anyone who knows anything about fencing will tell you that it's
COMPLETELY FUCKING POINTLESS
to "wind up" a swing with a weapon THAT CUTS THROUGH ANYTHING, EASILY. If I wanted to cut a man in half with a light saber, I would just flick my wrist, putting my entire body into a cut would be a massive waste of time since you don't gain additional cutting power TO A FUCKING LASER.

I'm willing to suspend my disbelief about how retarded lightsabers are in general, but let's address how retarded the idea of them is. Light sabers, the plasma blade aspect of the weapon is not solid and therefore the particles that get hit on the end of the saber shouldn't transfer any resistance back to the grip like a real sword would, the metal at the tip of a real sword is chemically bonded to the atoms all the way down to the pommel of the sword (assuming full tang.) If I could somehow contain gas in the shape of a sword, when I swung it at you (assuming the hilt was solid), there'd be no reason when the gas made contact I'd feel any resistance at the solid grip, same issue with light sabers, this is why those "GURR, LET'S PUSH OUR SABERS AGAINST EACH OTHER" moments are especially retarded, ON TOP of the always retarded fact that if you're in a close bind with someone like that what you should do is either suddenly remove your resistance, opponent stumbles, good set up for a win, or use your opponent's blade as a fulcrum and lift the back of the sword raise the grip vertically, the end of the blade goes into your opponent's shoulder, good set up for a win.

He should have been smart enough to figure out that with saber duels, the most exposed part is the hand and the only necessary thing to kill an opponent is to gently hit them with the incomprehensibly hot beam of plasma. Therefore, his guard positions should keep his hand back towards his body and ready to beat an opponent's sword to the side or towards the ground. It's not rocket science. If he had better hand protection, he should use a rapier guard. Any style of cutting from the elbow is FUCKING RETARDED on a weapon that requires no kinetic aid to its cutting power. Whenever you see a cut from anything more powerful than the wrist (shoulder, elbow) you should think "wow, that's a complete fucking waste of effort and an unnecessary risk." The beams are weightless, have no inertia, swinging you weightless beam harder into your opponent's weightless beam shouldn't knock your opponent back harder- so you can't make the argument that swinging from the elbow or shoulder is justified by sending your opponent further off-line with a stronger guard when you parry their attacks.

Fuck off commie nigger

Seriously, stop posting on Holla Forums and go do something you consider useful- suck that old kike bernard sandersteinsowitz's dick

Calm down Holla Forums faggot.

I remember thinking the sabres were pretty good. Or at least it would have been without the FUCKING CAMERA SHAKE.

I don't browse Holla Forums, I just recognize the obvious fact that the world would be better if every leftist was sent into the sun or dropped from a staggering height.

most leftist are cumskins, i second this

Whatever/pol/ faggot.
You claimed my post was Holla Forums and I'm not sure why. I just asked you to fuck off before the thread turned into yet another politics shitfest.

I didn't mean to claim

was commie. The other one I stand by.

On the contrary, Hispanics and Blacks are exceptionally left-wing in their politics.

Because GIBS ME DATS

Lol, cumskin so triggered.

Yeah black and latin countries are a bastion of liberal politics. Pretty sure both races still hate fags and liberals while cumskins can't get enough poz action. Stay mad.

Liberal=/= left-wing

Every South-American country, besides being jam-packed with non-whites, has left-wing policies.

"Meeting of the SI Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic"
socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticleID=2430

Let's look at the Socialist International's "Full Member Parties"

-Algeria Socialist Forces Front, FFS
"27/462" seats in the People's National Assembly

-Benin Social Democratic Party, PSD
"In the presidential election held on 5 March 2006, the PSD candidate, Amoussou, won 16.29% of the votes.[4]
In the March 2007 parliamentary election, the PSD participated in the Alliance for a Dynamic Democracy,[5] which won a total of 20 seats.[6]"

Chile has THREE full member parties, I'm not even going to look into the influence these parties have because it's obvious if you have 3 full-member parties when most countries have only one your country is a left-wing shithole.
"Chile Party for Democracy, PPD
Chile Radical Social Democratic Party, PRSD
Chile Socialist Party of Chile, PS"

Egypt Egyptian Social Democratic Party
"another founding member of the Social Democratic Party named Hazem Al Beblawi was appointed as interim prime minister on 9 July."
Cool, a communist faggot appointed as PM.

Mexico Party of Democratic Revolution, PRD
Mexico Institutional Revolutionary Party, PRI
"The Party of the Democratic Revolution (Spanish: Partido de la Revolución Democrática, PRD) is a social democratic[12] political party in Mexico that champions democracy.[13] The PRD is one of the three major political parties in Mexico, the others being the Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional, PRI) and the National Action Party (Partido Accion Nacional, PAN)."
Cool, so 2/3rds of Mexico's parties are in the Socialist International. Wow, super right-wing!

Niger Party for Democracy and Socialism of Niger, PNDS
75/171 seats

WOAH, BIG SURPRISE, NIGGERS VOTE FOR GIBS ME DAT NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE

Kill yourself you ignorant nigger.

I need to elaborate on this because some of you retards won't get the meaning. I mean that you don't have to be "liberal" by European standards on every social issue to be a left-wing country.

If niggers hate fags and trannies but still vote for GIBS all the time, they're still leftists, they're just not feigning any sort of consistency or empathy (which is a common leftist tactic.)

Well jedi mine their crystals while sith manufacture their own hence the red color. It supposed to be their final talk where they meditate in front of a hot kiln while they use the force to shape and create the crystal. If he created an unstable one then that means his training was not complete and that his master should have made that dumbass make a new one

Try to be less of an insufferable normalfaggot, thanks
ID politics belong on reddit, Holla Forums, Holla Forums, whatever

none of this changes the fact that their "left wing" governments are still more right wing than the poz party you got going on in north america, enjoy your hollyjew movies cumskin

IT'S A FUCKING CROSS

Now that's something you need to prove my spear chucking friend

Oh, so that's it.

He's not here to prove anything.
He got bored trying to force his meme on /n/ so now he's trying it here.
Why he chose Holla Forums of all boards I have no idea.

Every western government is conservative authoritarian capitalist while paying slight lip service to so-called "liberal" social values as a way to pacify and distract the masses. What, never been outside?

Yes they did, a crossguard is useless when the blade can cut through it, so, unless that hilt is made of phrik then is useless, nope, cortosis shorts the lightsaber, it has to be phrik.

...

Leftists dindu nuffin, they good goys.

First of all, I kinda like that Ren's lightsaber is all crackly. Just adds to the imagery and his character being unhinged and uncontrolled. There's no need to be subtle in fucking Star Wars.

Now thats out of the way, the main problem is the rancid shitpie fight between Rey and Ren. Fucking awful. It obviously supposed to invoke the same sort of feel to the Luke/Vader fight in Empire. The difference is, Luke is also angry and uncontrolled, but gets cleaned up Vader's calm mastery, who merely brushes Luke's vengeful swings aside. This shows Luke's lack of control of his emotion and how far his power has to grow. In this shitty movie, Rey beats Ren by somehow channeling her plot amour and getting MORE uncontrolled and angry? What is this supposed to show? That Rey is just really cool, I guess? My ass is cool!

Whats more, the whole scene is written and directed like aboslute shit. When Ren fucks up Finn only seconds prior and they get into a classic saber lock, Ren twists his side blades thingies into Finn. The, when they do THE EXACT SAME POSITION with Rey, he doesn't do it? Did you fucking forget that trick in the space of 30 seconds? Also, the choppy, hollywood flash cuts run out their welcome instantly. Pretty obviously trying to cover the fact that Daisy Ridley can't act OR do stunt work.

What a fucking spit in the face of the viewers. I'm baffled that so many people drank down this piss. Well, they can fucking have it. The fans want more? They're going to fucking get it! Every damn year from now on. Star Wars has always been shitty in just the right ways, but this fucking mound of cockadookie sucks in every possible way.

I read that in his voice

and why are sith lego minifigures always included in the most expensive sets only, what jewry is this

Trust me dude, all lego sets have sith legos, even the non star wars ones. Those are the fuckers you step on at 4 oclock in the morning while trying to walk to the bathroom to take a piss.

great refutation ;^)

such a waste of trips for a hand-shitter.

What if it's masterfully written and the big reveal of VIII is that maRey Sue is actually a sithlord?
**shit that will never happen*

WHAT THE FUCK I PRESSED THE KEY FOR THE FOURTH ASTERISK WHERE IS IT

there needs to be a blu-ray version of this

rian actually knows what hes doing though, and he even appreciated the prequels for being different

Didn't they put in a bunch of weird-ass things in the cartoons? OBSCURE light-weapons, black lightsabers, and hopefully someone has the webm of lightsaber helicopters that I saw a while back
