@@Siegfried5846 The only protagonists that are actually written to be intelligent are ones primarily only written in books and anime. Writing a character to constantly make bad decisions (especially when they're supposed to be some type of genius or have a clever personality) is one of my biggest pet peeves in books, movies and comics. Making a character do something incredibly stupid is not a valid obstacle in a plot, it's just lazy and terrible writing.

@thehumanity0

@@Siegfried5846 Predator is a great example of the protagonist actually conquering an obstacle and out-thinking it's opponent. The Predatory literally kills everyone aside from the protagonist and displays itself as an incredibly believable deadly force. There's no way Arnold can beat the Predator using simple brute force so in the end he has to out-think him using the knowledge he's gained throughout the film. The best part of that scenario is that the obstacle is actually a very believable one and it is shown by Arnold's entire platoon being slaughtered so the viewers understand the threat is real and it is a massive challenge for him to take on the Predator alone by the end. Additionally, the Predator doesn't say one word the entire movie, yet we understand he is a gigantic threat to the protagonist, all the while engaging the viewers into the story. These types of believable obstacles are nearly nonexistent in the new Disney Star Wars movies, and the times they are there, it's just a rip off from the first Star Wars movie that's done far worse in the Disney soft-reboot. Instead of portraying the New Order as this massive incredibly deadly force of nature, it's portrayed as a joke and a total push-over. To be fair, the droid army in the prequels also had this problem, but it was much more forgiving because the Droid army was never the *real* *enemy* and was always just a decoy in some master-plan and dark twist against the Jedi. In regards to your 2nd point, I think movies like Ant Man and Aquaman are sorta the exception because everyone understands those concepts are silly to begin with, so instead of the directors trying to polish a turd, they instead turn it into a flaming bag of poop and make the movie outrageous/unrealistic and fun to watch at the very least. I somewhat approve of this strategy (sometimes) even though those movies were never going to be great to begin with (you would have to be fecking Scorsese or Kubrick to actually make a good serious Aquaman or Ant Man movie). The 2nd Ant Man movie, however, was awful because it was just terribly written. At least in the first one, the hero was ridiculous, but they gave you something to care about with the father/daughter relationship (wanting his daughter to look up to him and his ex-wife to respect him). If that relationship was not written into the story, I guarantee the movie would've been totally emotionless and we wouldn't have cared about anything regarding the heroes journey. However, I still partly agree with you as well. You really do have to make the movie take itself seriously if you want to make a genuinely good movie. The original Star Wars movie was an incredibly weird and ridiculous concept at the time, but George believed in his vision and he made it work by making the movie and characters take the story seriously as if the Galaxy really was at stake and under threat from a giant evil Empire. At the same time though, look at the prequels (mainly just the first 2); George tried to make another serious movie/new story and it ended up going wrong for him. It's risky to make a relatively weird concept into a serious movie. Let's be honest, it would've taken a Herculean effort from the writers and directors to make a good or great Ant Man or Aquaman movie that took itself seriously. Disney deciding to fill the the sequel Star Wars movies with tons of jokes and clearly making the movies not take themselves seriously is Disney's way of playing it safe and not taking any risks by trying to tell a good story. I might rarely approve of this strategy when franchises or heroes get rebooted altogether, but Star Wars has always taken itself seriously, even when it didn't work well in parts of the prequels. Deciding to turn it into a totally lighthearted joke machine where even the most serious scene get interrupted by jokes/bathos, is, in my opinion, betraying the last 6 movies and 40 years of Star Wars and the universe that has already been established well before Disney bought the keys to the cash cow that at one point prioritized storytelling over money. Sorry for the long comment, it's totally understandable if you didn't read the whole thing.

I wasn't particularly thrilled with TFA but at least it was a foundation to build on, maybe not a great foundation but take what you can get. TLJ not only didn't build on that foundation but seemed to do everything it could to undermine it for no discernible reason. The story going into 9 might as well be starting from scratch. It's pretty clear that the studio is in conflict with itself (whether it's just JJ and Johnson have a tantrum or if it goes deeper is anyone's guess) and the franchise is suffering for it. The big surprise to me is that Mickey is letting it go as far as it has and is risking serious harm to it's investment with this atrocious excuse for management.

They had enough droid forces to not only spread the entire Jedi and clone forces across the galaxy, but even launch attacks on Coruscant and capture Palpatine. The only reason they were wiped out was because Darth Sidious was pulling the strings from behind the scenes the entire time to build his empire, and when the Separatist’s purpose was achieved, he sent Vader to kill the leaders and meld the independent systems with the empire, whether they liked it or not.

His job was to manage the building and development of the death star. The soldiers he had were always temporary. Borrowed from other commanders or put in charge of to get him out of the way. He screamed because throughout the movie he was having a mental breakdown, his years of hard work were being scatched from him before his eyes and he was powerless to stop it. Hence.

Include in a way like she went training to Dagobah or Mortis or wherever, then came into a deep meditation. Then she awakens and decides to help. And better, make her a fun character. Don't make her a cold veteran daugther of heroes, or a wise Jedi knight, or a SJW, or another Mary Sue. Make her *FUN* . Make her crack a few jokes. Piss off the characters in a joking way. Maybe even snort of whatever. But also show that she can fight. Make her defeat Stormtroopers like its childs play, even being able to do it unarmed. Make her kick Kylo's ass easily and maybe have a conflict, where she hates her brother cause he killed their father and trillions of people. Show her internally suffering, but still putting on a smile because she knows that she needs to be strong. That she needs to help others. Also make her enjoyable to watch. That's all.

What Jeremy Jahns speaks about here, is something every parent knows, intuitively. It is not the parent who yells at every infraction whoincites fear in children. It is the parent who is calm and cool when confronted by most of their children's antics, but then raises their voice when enraged by something serious, who the kids take seriously. If all you do is yell at your kids 24/7, they tune you out. The same goes for institutions - whether real or in the world of fiction.

Yes and no. In my opinion, it was both a hit and a miss in the sense that it did make Kylo intimidating and a threat, but it showed him as ineffectual and childish evil. Instead of taking the old man for torture and extract information right then and there, Kylo had a tantrum and killed the sole person that could have told Kylo who or what the First Order had to look for. Instead of questioning or torturing Poe in the spot for basic questions ("are there other Resistance members here?" "Where's the data-chip?" etc.) Kylo merely stares at Poe and then leaves, taking Poe with him, without even ordering Phasma to search EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE after she kills the entire village. In fact, Kylo stupidly repeats this error when he kidnaps Rey rather than taking all the prisoners away (including BB8 who had the bloody data-chip). Hence, the First Order came off as a dangerous villian albeit an incompetent one.

Joffrey yelled that he wasn't tired because he is a child, but the audience sides with Tywin because he shows authority and maturity. I would say that Star Wars should learn from this, but they shouldn't have to because the original trilogy already understood how to create compelling villains. I understand the more personal dynamic they were going for with Kylo Ren, but the entirety of tbe First Order shouldn't act like him. Snoke or Hux should have been his stopping power. They should treat him as an annoyance, but we understand that they don't kill him because he is too valuable with his use of the force.

The First Order was created just because JJ wanted Empire Part 2, even if it didn't make sense in its own world. The First Order is not the established form of government.

The whole movie (and trilogy) could have been so much better if the first order, in the role of extremists, would have succeeded in destabilizing the republic with inside support, and the role of the "good guys" as the new goverment were to shut down the rebelion but failed. The reversal of roles would have been so powerful as a concept had it been more fleshed out. The ambiguity of the characters would make a lot more sense, hell you can even fix almost all the plot holes with that. Why would Han run away? because he is a smuggler at heart, not some goverment stooge. Why does Luke go into exile? Because he sees the darkness within the new republic before anything happens. Leia is a diplomatic figure, daughter of a senator and sole survivor of the single greatest genocide made in all of the movies up to that point, why isn't she in a political role? it doesn't make any sense that she would go into a military career having no experience at all. But she had to be a "stronk wahmen", so no politics, off to the military with her. As if women in politics wasn't THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN FEMINISM FOR THE LAST CENTURY. It should be a heavy conflict for Leia to see the rise this new rebel group of extremists with heavy support from people of the republic, because that is what the rebel alliance were to the empire, a guerrilla suported in secret by the ruling classes of the old republic. It would have been so powerfull to see them try to engage in diplomacy and then have Kylo Ren to just turn everyone into their puppets with his mind magic, and having the first order use this as propaganda to bring public opinion against the new republic. Forcing the republic to attack civilian worlds as collateral damage and then turn the public opinion against them. It would be the more fitting narrative analogue, and strongly show both a reversal of roles yet maintain the moral position of each side to the audience. It would also fix the threat perception of the first order to the audience, because they now are not an organiced profesional military, they are terrorists with a genius propaganda machine and fueling off the resentment of some elements inside the republic. That way, if any calm authority ever rises inside the first order and takes command, now the audience can rightfully feel that shit has hit the fan, because if they were threatening before being organized, imagine now that they have actual leaders. I don't know, the whole movie (force awakens) kinda went downhill to me when i saw that they never really portrayed the republic as the actual goverment, and the first order as the scrappy little band of crazies they "said" they were supposed to be. The republic, being the actual legit goverment, still operates from jungle bases? And they just let anybody into their military?? And the group of crazy extremists can fund themselves a super weapon the size of a planet?? It doesn't work, they didn't even try to make sense, it was an obvious cash grab.

The control is the intimidating aspect, not the calmness. A person who you think is in control can fuck you up far more by yelling than calmly asking you. IF tywin yelled, joffrey would have shat his pants twice over, it tywin wasnt in control his calmness wldnt have done shit as evidenced by him getting killed while taking a shit.

If they created an underdog rise to power situation with the bad guys, then some movie fans might really enjoy those characters and somewhat root for them (like certain Bond villains, for example). That is absolutely unacceptable with current Lucasfilm, because any fascist-leaning organization must not only be portrayed as 100% evil, the must also be shown to be complete and utter clowns. The Nazi's were definitely evil, but their efficiency, organization, and military tactics were certainly impressive and terrifying. In the age of Trump, current Lucasfilm would rather hammer home the message that 'fascists are insecure and pitiful losers, not just evil' than make a compelling universe. (PS. I'm a centrist Canadian, meaning that I would be a SUPER left-wing American when it comes to politics)

Snoke, well he is just bigger Emperror, more powerfull, but we won't show it, just say it, who is he, we have no idea, we will explain it in book in 5 years. Bigger is not better!!!!

I feel like Dr. Malcolm from Jurassic Park said it best.. “the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun.” The empire from the original trilogy established themselves as not only the galactic government, but their ability in testing their strength when it’s necessary. The first order on the other hand, they stood on the shoulders of giants and continued what the empire had done but didn’t really consider the repercussions, they blew up an entire system of republic planets for God sake!! Yes the empire blew up some planets here and there, but ultimately they understood that they needed a structured system that would bend to their will. The first order on the other hand just screams and blows up everything they don’t like.

It made sense for Hux to be the angry and steam headed Nazi who gave powerful hate speeches. However, it did not help to have his authority immediately undermined by Snoke in the beginning of The Last Jedi. Furthermore, in my mind it was really interesting to have an emotional Dark Side Force user, like Kylo Ren, who was constantly haunted by the light side and let his anger out on Hux. The clash between Hux and Kylo Ren would have been amazing if the First Order wasn't full of empty threats. For example, there should've been actual losses for the Resistance, and even the First Order should've feared Hux. In The Rise of Skywalker it could have been revealed that the evil Nazi overlord Hux was the spy who wanted to simply see Kylo Ren fall. Once Kylo Ren lost, Hux would've solely commanded the army and wouldn't be focused on Sith or Jedi, rather he would demolish all opposition.

_The Force Awakens_ needed more politics... the galaxy should’ve been divided, with some systems preferring the way the Empire ran things, so they support the First Order to that end... maybe the FO has more sinister intentions than just politics, but it would explain how the FO could be so powerful and make the conflict seem real.

This trilogy just kinda dumped us into the setting and left the tie in books to actually explain, which is something that IMO movies should never do because it's basically forcing movie goers to do homework.

I wasn’t opposed to a third Death Star... the First Order would want to emulate the Empire, and the Death Star was their greatest weapon, so it makes sense to me.

Joker It would’ve been hard but they could’ve used what Johnson set up and made something not horrible with it. I think that would’ve been better than setting up an entirely different story during the conclusion

To be fair at the start of The Force Awakens when Kylo Ren just straight up stops a laser bolt in mid-air and when he's talking to the captured resistance pilot and orders the villagers killed. That part showed promise of Kylo being like Darth Vader. Showing off power: Check, Showing authority: Check, Showing that he is evil and not to be messed with: Check. But after this he goes downhill as a villain. Instead of screaming "TRAITOR!!!!" it could've had Kylo's voice talking "So you return at last betrayer..." then show him walking from behind a tree slowly with his saber. But nope. These are just my thoughts.

I think what they were going for, was that he is dangerous because he loses control. He is unpredictable and passionate. If he was too much like Vader (his Idle) there wouldn't be room for character development. I think Ren would be fine if Hux wasn't such a bumbling idiot. They had an opportunity to make Ren terrifying, not only to the viewer but to the First Order as well. Unfortunately Star Wars is family friendly and "needed" a slapstick Binks role in which unfortunately Hux became. I would have liked them to explore Rens hatred and full envelopment to the darkside.

I actually hated the part when he ordered the villagers to be killed. It felt too much like a random act of evil to remind us that he was the bad guy. The village was no threat to him and he just had them killed for no reason. I am a writer and that is exactly the kind of thing writers have to avoid when they design a villain.

I believe that this specific problem complements that fact that we know nothing about The First Order in general. We don't know how strong they are, what their history is, or what their motivations are. How are we supposed to take them seriously in an established universe if we know nothing about them? Granted we knew little about the empire when the original trilogy came out, but that was the very beginning of the franchise. Lucus had a blank slate and he thrust us into the action. Plus we knew enough about their past to have a solid understanding. They overthrew a Rebublic and Vader betrayed the Jedi after being seduced by the Emporer. That's enough info. Plus the prequels really fleshed out Palpatine's master plan and we see it took an abandance of resources, time, and planning. How is it within the fathom of believability for the First Order to just show up, gain enough resources to amass an army while the republic is still in power, proceed to blow up the Republic, and then take over the galaxy with no resestance except from the Resistance. Destroying a government is not the same as taking over the galaxy, espacially when every planet has it's own goverment and military and would be furious that their representative to the Republic was just killed. I know that there is a further explanation in comics, books, tweets by the film makers, etc but that is irrelevant. A good movie should explain the information necessary for the story to make sense in the movie itself with no extra material being needed. (On a side note and from the information I have read, I am not at all satisfied with the First Order's backstories provided in the expanded material.) In short, is makes no sense for the First Order to just take over in the context of the prequels and established Star Wars history. As a result, how are we the audience supposed to take them seriously if their very presence makes no sense? It does not help that they just killed Snoke, the one character that could provide an explanation for the First Order's history and power. Frankly, Snoke's death seems insulting, like the filmmakers are essentially telling the viewers that the backstory is irrelevent and does not matter even though is clearly does to understand the context of the film. This coupled with the lack of intimidation discussed by Jeremy in the video above (and poor use of comedy) makes me have zero respect for First Order. It doesn't help that they seem to just copy the Empire's vehicles and accordingly have next to zero originality.

Well put, master Jedi. In the OT we didn't need explanation about the Empire, the name 'Galactic Empire' already invokes the idea of galaxy spannig government. Then with the openning scene of huge destroyer chasing small cruiser and white armored well organized stormtroopers tell what kind of this empire is. It is everywhere and it has power. Then of course we got more details later but that gives the idea. Then again the name 'First Order' doesn't really tell anything. Military order of some kind but what they are for? Then we them with similar armoured troops and that rises the first questions, how, where. Last time we were in this galaxy these feckers were defeated. And they are killing some civialians just to be evil, I guess. Only when they battle against the Rebe- I mean Recistance in that tavern planet we get idea of their power and they both seem to be as powerful which rises even more questions of how, with what kind of backing. This is 30 years later in the story. Maybe if they called it "The Order of Ren", it wouldn't be the clearest name but with Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren on top it would give some idea. Maybe grand master Snoke is re-establishing the empire as Kylo as the legitimate emperor since he is the grandson of Vader. Have openning scene them infiltrating in some Republic military base and causing havoc before vanishing. The OT empire was about power, these are about fighting dirty. All the rest of backstory you can explain later. I don't know, those are just some shitty exaples. The sequels look really pretty but it is really hard to care about the characters or what is going on. Without context the villains don't feel threatening.

And as Ben Kenobi has said, that was the first time we were introduced into the conflict (original trilogy), when we could get behind the fact that The Empire is the ruling force and evil and ruthless and dangerous. That was the status quo at the beginning of the story. The problem is, that with The First Order, we have moved from the position of the Rebels having won and reestablishing The Republic to open conflict with The Empire Lite (but with a bigger Deathstar and a ton of resources and people). And even after losing the Deathstar they were able to win everything in a matter of... days? And the fact that they are lead by a psychotic crybaby and a pathetic moron, as shown in Ep 8 does not help their credibility one bit. Their overall incompetence is shown during pretty much every action scene in that movie except for the Leia/Ackbar massacre moment. Other than that, they got their supreme leader murdered, their biggest ship destroyed, failed to kill a couple of ancient wrecks because their interceptors went on a goose chase and let the handful of rebels (or whatever they are supposed to be called now) escape and so on and so on.

Krenick shouting makes more sense though because he is losing his authority therefore he is losing control of the situation and is pissed.

Imagine how less intimidating Anton from No Country for Old Men would be if he did the exact same things while screaming and flailing his arms around the entire time. When villains are *constantly* screaming and losing control of their emotions, they seem more predictable and therefore less intimidating. Kylo Ren was only able to kill Snoke because he was calm and managed to shut the fuck up. Compare that with his previous attempt where he got force lightning in his face...

Palpatine had a suave, quiet manner - and was all the more effective as a result. Vader said little, so when he spoke, his words carried all the more weight.

the best star wars villain is the Empire disguised as the Republic.

lol, mined 1 planet vs 10 thousand planets mined by the republic?. and with minning one planet they build a bigger death star?

Crennic was okay in this way. He was this technical mastermind who build the ultimate weapon. And he probably had something to prove. And nobody appreciated his achievement fully when he accomplished his work. Everyone would be pissed. He wanted to treated better

When I went to see 'The force Awakens' in the movie theater. I literally bursed out laughing at general hux's speech, he just looked so damn silly.

Agreed, he looked like a little boy playing dress-up in his daddy's clothing.

This. This is the biggest reason leaving the theaters that I had a bad feeling about Star Wars. I have no idea how the hell the antagonists are going to work, because there doesn't seem to be anyone fit to lead a giant space empire. I had other gripes, but aside from this and that casino filler my other issues with Disney Star Wars would take a while to put into words.

I think that might actually be the point. Just because you can overthrow Snoke doesn't mean you know how to lead.

Yeah, seems the writers forgot that the antagonist, the villains, need to look dangerous and tough enough for the heroes to look good, for the conflict to look realistic. and yeah, the FO looks like a bunch of immature brats. I'd say Disney is having a "Villain" problem, as in general their latest ones seem to be lacking. but the First Order? they are a caricature, I can't take them seriously, and thus it makes the resistance/rebellion look bad from falling to them so badly *Ryan really shat the bed by making TLJ immediate to TFA

But that's the idea, they're supposed to be a caricature, they weren't supposed to be Empire 2.0, they were just a bunch of old commanders who wanted to make something like the Empire again but made what amounts to a terrorist group instead.

@Asteroid Mike then why should we care about the struggle of our main characters. The First Order is said to be the most threatening force in the Galaxy but there is no way for them to be such a threat as their leaders are incompetent. We are suppose to believe that just by force and no strategy they will conquer the whole galaxy?

I'd say being able to destroy 5 planets with one shot and still having tons of Star Destroyers around counts as being threatening, at least in the sense of physically and military might. They obviously had some strategy working because they've made it this long without being taken completely out since the Republic didn't think they were a threat, in fact no one did, and they spread their forces out all over the galaxy.

It’s incomprehensible how inept the writers/directors have been for the new Star Wars trilogy. Very tone def. it’s as if a sociopath attempted to write emotions into the script based on a misguided interpretation of reality. “TRAITORRRRR” I would laugh out loud on a battlefield if some dude responded like that after I’d switched sides

And TR-8R was still one of the most memorable parts of that movie. Let that sink in. (Like the stormtroopers stopping short when Kylo was having his temper tantrum, it was a detail I liked in humanizing the Imperial cannon fodder... shame they didn't follow up on that.)
