Star Wars

That’s exactly what I said.

She had no formal training - let alone access to a time bubble/flux/whatever to “instantly” gain such.

And yes, Goku is that dude who could sometimes osmose tech after seeing it only once.

That didn’t exclude him from needing extensive hand to hand training from Roshi for years and years to get to that level of skill where he could recognize and apply such in a magical wink of an eye (yes, wink).

Even after lots and lots of training, osmosis boy STILL got his ass handed to him by Roshi and others based on their experience and training, in spite of his being infinitely greater in potential.

Rey didn’t even get to see techniques once in order to osmose them.

She just pulled them out of J.J.'s Ass.

Eh.

A standard blaster flat out killed Storm troopers if it barely even clipped a limb in ANH and ESB.

Chewie’s blaster didn’t do more than clip Kylo.

Should he be dead for having let it get through?

ANH and ESB say: Hells yes.

RTJ says: Maybe. Depends. How much plot armor is in play? Is there the potential passionate kiss afterwards? Is the subject in question a bitchy female?

Kylo dies in 2/3 of the OT.

In the other 1/3 he lives to be an old man complaining about an arrow to his knee.

Han didn’t even hit the two Storm Troopers, the shot landed a few feet in front of them but it hit with enough force to send them both sailing into air like they stepped on a landmine. Kylo actually got hit from blast from the same weapon.

kylo might have used force powers to diminish the blow at the last second. he did freeze a blaster shot mid air in TFA

Good movies show. Bad movies force you to write a mini fanfic in your head for things to make sense

Quoting since you glossed it over.

I’d quote myself a second time but, plot armor didn’t stop Luke from getting bodied by Vader or stop Han from getting frozen in carbonite.

So nah, the OT wasn’t above scaring heroes. Hell, ANH has all of Luke’s family get bodied by storm troopers.

The small and subtle ways in which Rey got turned to trash by TLJ. :cry:

Luke was in no fear of dying. Vader was toying with him and then said ENOUGH! And cut off luke’s hand. Kuke then proceeds to jump off and force guide himself through holes and vents after we watched him fail miserably with the force for the past 30+ minutes (dude would lift something then get distracted and drop it)

Luke 100% had plot armor, vader just found the uncovered part

I’m going to quote myself because you seem to have a knack for not addressing things.

Luke may not have died but still got wrecked. That’s why Rey went from tentative but potentially very cool to utter ass from TFA to TLJ. Her excelling against people she has business doing so is one of the many reasons TLJ is bad.

2 non-force people take on a super force sensitive person who can see, think, and react faster than they can blink?

She’s a fully capable fighter with enhanced reactionary abilities. This isnt luke fighting vader in which both are force sensitive but 1 is wayyyyyyyyyy stronger than the other

I like how you’re explanation just makes the whole thing shittier.

:joy::joy::joy:

I ended up watching TLJ again over the weekend because it’s my favorite Star Wars movie. I gotta say I really enjoyed how they developed Rey, and emphasized how strong she is with the Force. She’s so fucking bad ass. That fight scene after Snoke gets tricked and killed by Kylo is nothing short of amazing. You can tell she’s really growing into her own with her saber skills. All that time scavenging and training with the spear really paid off because she’s a fucking natural. I guess it helps she’s so force-sensitive, too. It’s weird, but every time I watch the movie I notice something else that makes it even awesomer.

I fucking love Star Wars.

chad with the shitposts… :rofl:

A long time ago, in galaxy far, far away…

…9 ton dinosaurs made lesser shitposts.

Whilst Luke tried to milk their titties.

Hate-fucking love Star Wars.

You hate-fucking love Star Wars.

Which is kinda redundant, by definition.

So it is thematically at least.

Good movies don’t toss epic extended universes into the crapper.

Baby Space Jesus Movie Pilot Anakin fucking up Anakin 2’s book trajectory was bad enough.

really? you think he force guided himself into a vent? thats interesting cuz i always imagined the air vent just sucked him in like a vacuum. i thought everyone thought the same thing.

Hope you go blind right before episode X 1/2 premiere

Must’ve glossed over this but,

How many times have we seen Rey actually struggle with anything force related?

As they say, Checkmate Atheists.

Does Lifting rocks and not being prone to senses blinding vision count?
