OFFICIAL NEWS Audience Participation Video/Slideshow: The Cantina Reacts To The Force Awakens!

I guess they are snap shy, I'm looking forward to the others as well.

 

coming to an end, if you want in........ snap a photo and post it here

 

My opinion is it comes down to Story and the story telling is just getting worse today everywhere. I enjoyed the first 40 minutes then it seemed it became worse the movie was finding Luke and then it became reunion ville and lets kill the giant universe killing planet in 5 minutes while everyone suddenly learns the force, Han dies and we need to rush to the end really quick. It was full of to early for reveals and coincidences. If you walked out of the movie feeling insulted or like you were treated like you were stupid its because the film makers failed to tell a good paced story with good characters. If they had some of the implausibilities could be overlooked but because they didn't we get this sinking feeling, we want to like it but can't for some reason. Its as simple as that. I have two young boys who I have been teaching screenplay structure. I kept my opinion to my self and this is what they delivered to me the next morning. "Dad we fixed it." I said fixed what? The story and they gave me a word document I helped them fix some of it but this is what they came up with. PS they also didn't like the prequels either. They are 12 and 14. I think it has its problems but I thinks its ten times better then what we got. You decide.


Star Wars Episode VII


-We open with a Large Republic Carillion Cruiser in Orbit over a desert planet


-Below on the planet a New Republic senator is meeting secretly with a ex-storm trooper who identifies himself as Finn. Finn has a disk of stolen information he doesn’t fully understand whats on it but its something bad the empire is planning something big he cant read the disk its encrypted. Finn is scared. The senator doesn’t believe him and can’t understand why they needed to go through all this trouble to meet out here why couldn’t they meet on Coruscant? The empire is not a threat they have been only small pockets of trouble like terrorists (Modern day parallel).


-In orbit a small number of beat up imperial shuttles evades the a large Republic cruiser. The Imperial commander (a young officer ideolog nazi type) makes a transmission to a very intimidating senior officer the commander tells him that they have tracked the traitor to a planet but the Republic cruiser will mean that the probability of return may be zero. The Senior commander says he doesn’t care about the losses the disk must be destroyed and the traitor killed at all costs!


-The commander launches a small raid against the village the storm troopers are worn and dirty their armor looks like they have been in heavy battles. The village is destroyed many are killed the Senator is killed but just before he dies he puts the disk into his BB8 droid and the droid takes off. Republic x=wings and troops come to the rescue but its to late. The republic troops find Finn searching the dead senator and suspect him and an escape occurs he heads off into the desert escaping the republic troops.


-We meet Rey she is working for the corrupt alien serving food portions she fixes and test flies his ships, speeders, pods for food and shelter, she was abandoned as a child she has no memory of her parents and as Luke did she feels lost and looks to something more.


-Rey meets BB* then Finn. They are introduced and then they are pursued by Republic troops and escape in the millennium falcon. Its her bosses ship they are pursued by Republic fighters and escape she is a great pilot and the same chase through old star destroyers etc… They escape by going to hyper space.



- Rey and Finn are at odds Finn is not being honest with her they find out that the ships registry has the owner as Han Solo and Finn convinces Rey to fly him to Coruscant (The Capital of the new Republic).

- They arrive at Coruscant through some difficult maneuvering they get in front of President Leia. They get the plans to her the encryption is broken and they discover its construction blue prints of star destroyers. Other information of the disk is corrupted and not recoverable.

- Rey and Finn find out that everything they had ever heard the Legends are true the Jedi the battle between he empire and republic, Leia confides in Rey that Han and his companion Chewie went missing many years ago trying to find her brother Luke. Rey and Finn also meet Leia’s deformed and scarred son (James). He is struggling and angry James is having dreams of a dark figure calling out to him. Leia explains that her brother couldn’t control himself and he felt he was a danger to everyone around him, (we get the idea that he may have tried to train Leia’s son and he was hurt and Luke left but its implied not on the nose).

- Leia just wants her family back she is lost herself. She has spent years trying to rebuild the republic. Terrorism is becoming worse across the New Republic. Leia is strangely drawn to Rey and there is a moment were Leia senses the force is Rey, Rey confides that since she was a little girl she has been able to see things before they happened.

- Leia is assassinated along with many senators in a bombing. As she is dying she instructs a box be brought to her she gives to Rey Luke’s light saber, she is worried about the future tells Rey to find Luke and then she dies.


-Rey, Finn and James leave looking for Luke. James joins them saying he wants to find his father (Han). Yet there seems to be something suspicious in his motives.

-They decide that if they can find Han and Chewie that would give them some kind of clue.


-They trace the Falcon back to Rey’s boss and under duress of the force James makes him tell them where he got the ship. He tells them from a smuggler named Fant. Rey and Finn are increasing uncomfortable with whats going one. On the trip to find Fant James senses the force in Rey and offers to train her. She is confused and cautious.


-The gang trace Fant on a planet of pirates and smugglers. Fant is cold and distant. James attempts to use the force on Fant but Rey and Finn stop him at gun point Finn rises to the occasion and threats his life. They find out that he betrayed Han and Chewie to the empire for the Falcon which he then sold to Rey’s boss, he says Han and Chewie and have been in an imperial prison for years. James kills Fant and they escape by the skin of their teeth.


-They track the location of the prison on a far away planet on the edge of the galaxy hidden away. They rescue Han and Chewie. James talks to the dark figure via a vission about betraying his friends and his training being completed. James leaves his friends.


-Han and Chewie lead the group through a hidden facility attached to the prison. They need help Han is old and crippled up. Han and Chewie overheard talk about what was going on here from prison guards for years while in prison. The group see from a hidden position a large ship yard where dozens of Star destroyers are being constructed. A hooded figure walks a platform inspecting the construction activity in the distance with a bunch of Imperial commanders.


Just as they try and make their way out a large group of storm troopers surround them. James is with them he approaches Han with distain. "Father".


-CLOSING WE TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE TO A DISTANT PLANET. Luke is in a dark cave, a group of primitive natives bring food and leave it at the entrance of the cave like serving a god and depart with reverence. There are rocks floating around Luke and other things he is holding his head in anguish. Sweat comes down his face and he is shaking.

Bravo.

 

You felt insulted and as though you were treated like you were stupid? That's unfortunate, but I think you're being just a tad bit tough on yourself. It's a movie. About space. And faster than light speed travel. And lasers. And swords made from lasers. And a sasquatch that flies a spaceship. Its not to be taken for anything other than what it is: A movie. About space. And faster than light speed travel. And lasers...............

 

Sorry, but what does this have to do with a photo and a reaction from yourself? Ty
