Did you know all these posts show up on Google?!
Awesome right? Well. Not so much, no.
(contains Original Starwars Trilogy spoilers (and latest movie ones))
So what I was pondering is, when Luke and Leia find out their bloodline and Luke has to go confront Vader all mano-a Mano, I mean what the hell? Right?
Well obviously a farm boy who swung at a floating ball and jogged around with a muppet on his back is faarrrrr more qualified that a girl who grew up her whole life as a rebel with access to the top personal combat trainers, "as well as" also being a Jedi.
I think Leia should have gone and kicked Vader's ass.
That would have been a refreshing twist.
In fact the whole premise that the person probably most skilled and trained in firearms, tactics and personal combat had to be repeatedly rescued, or shoved in a bikini etc, and gratefully end up with a smelly hairy creature, who also had a wookie friend, seems kind of chauavanist to me.
OK, so Han Solo does have 'that smile', but that's not the point.
Fair enough Rey seems to be doing better, but there are still a lot of bad stereotypes. And that much (later) self-doubt seemed out of character for her tough starter of the movie. I guess guys like their women helpless and confused?
( Hey that could be my problem! Because screw that rubbish :p)
And I get that it was a tribute movie, but if you're given the chance to make a brand new start of an exciting universe, why the crap just remake the original series into a film?
Holy crud what a waste of potential movie. 😞
Maybe that's what you get when you let a StarTrek fanboy write and direct a StarWars movie. He might not have realized that just because every StarTrek Movie is the same that the StarWars ones don't have to be.
I guess we can hope the next guy will do better.
