Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Wrong answer. Mace Windu's color does not respond solely to his light alignment. Getting close to the dark side does not mean jack ***about lightsaber coloring. Want proof? Take a look at when Anakin assaulted the temple in episode III, now what color was his saber? It was blue. Why? Certainly not because of the fact of his force alignment. He hadn't constructed a lightsaber WITH A RED CRYSTAL.


Ok this makes no sense. The only thing that really had any impact on lightsabers was that Jedi typically used a colored crystal determined on their classification. Jedi consulars used a different type of crystal than a Jedi guardian, which used a green crystal and thus a green blade. The only reason sith use red is because the red synthetic crystals can either be made by themselves or they can get them easier through the black market before the imperial crackdown of Palpatine.


Concepts that you don't understand.


You have seen a movie yet you think a lightsaber magically changes color the moment someone turns good or evil.

I am really hoping English is not your first language and you are just misunderstanding what I am saying. Otherwise, no hope exists for you.

Is that all you have to say after that? We could critique my English until our finger bones turn to dust.

I feel like this guy right now.

Lol potatoes aren't people

Where did purple come from? Oh there.

That was posted a few pages back

And yet people are still trying to figure it out and give it a deeper meaning than it has. Its a vanity item, if it was a game you would pay 4.99 for the purple saber.

Alright. Giving this one more go.
We Started out with a Blue light Saber - Obi-wan
Another Blue Light Saber - Luke's fathers
A Red Light Saber - Vader's
Then came ROJ and Luke built himself a fancy new Green Light Saber.
None of these had meaning and were simply what worked for the movies.

Hence, my use of the word "meaning" hell, you guys are making a huge deal about Jackson wanting a purple light saber and one already existed before the prequels wielded by a Dark Jedi no less!

Now that we know Light saber colors are not magical and do not change color due to the user and in the Star Wars Universe they had some kind of meaning for sometime, can this subject please die.

When you watch Star Wars those meanings make total sense.
When you watch Star Wars the colors don't have to have meaning but it is just one more level of detail if you are interested enough about it.

Man, to get this worked up over a a movie.... a fictional story made up by film companies for entertainment. It's not real. And one word comes to mind... <.<;


NEERRRRRDDSSSSS!!!!!!

=P

And yet, you post here on a website dedicated to a 14 year old online game....

ahsoka tano has white lightsabers. can't forget about those too.

You guys actually read about Star Wars in your free time...yea that isn't for me.

Hell, the first purple lightsaber made in the EU was by Gantoris in the Jedi Academy Trilogy. It was badass since it could double in length with a touch of a switch.

(That was well before the prequels were made).

So... did you guys actualyl like the movie?

if so, i'd like to know what you found good in it.

nope~

I actually read a lot but fiction is not something I'm interested in...

What's good is that it returned to relatively basic good vs. evil campy space opera that made the series what people loved in the first place. No *** trade federation crap or robotic dialogue here and it's a good start for our new heroes in a faithful update to the universe.

What's bad is that it lifted too much of A New Hope rather than trying to stand on its own and introduced very little new material. Death Star mk. 3, leaning hard on old cast et al bogs the series down in 'LOOK, WE'RE STAR WARS LOL' rather than telling a complete story.

If you've never watched SW, it's not a big deal but if you waited decades for this, I can see how you might be disappointed. It's a solid opening but TFA isn't top tier material.

The way I see it is, a modern reiteration of the original saga, which it certainly succeeded at. However, it really failed to deliver anything that helped it stand out as a progressive continuation of the ongoing storyline. If this was merely a reboot of ANH, I'd be very content. But as a legitimate Episode VII, it fell very short.

It's essentially a reboot of ANH. In terms of actual worldbuilding, nothing has really changed sans our old heroes looking like they escaped from the retirement camp.

I liked it for what it was. I can understand the problems people around the internet some people are citing. Some I see as valid, just not an issue for me (the ANH similarity); some I think are *** idiotic and should be drowned in a river (the Rey:Mary Sue ***).

But I don't really care about anyone else's opinion, I thought it was a great popcorn flick and a great bounce back from the prequels that lets old fans get their fan service and introduces a new generation to a classic story and universe, all the while diversifying it for an increasingly growing and diverse audience.

I maintain that people are really using far too much nostalgia in their judgments and that they're forgetting some of the really awful aspects just under the surface of the originals if you start to nitpick them the same way.

Porkins.
Sand people.

Real subtle, George.

I think my biggest issue with the movie is Finn.

He some random dude who got stripped away from his parents at a young age. Goes through training and mental conditioning to become a storm trooper. Does sanitation duty on the death star mk III. Gets to go on his first combat mission on Jakku. Gets into a fire fight with resistance members/sympathizers and sees his fellow troopers get shot and killed. Then decides to have a change of heart and not kill the people who were captured/trying to kill him.

Then on the escape he kills his fellow soldiers. like wtf

they call him a traitor and I get that but what i don't get is why he has this sudden change to help out the resistance. just doesn't make sense to me
