Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)

[McParadigm]

I assume the main bad people need helmets because they're working from the same check list I am

- "Tatooine is a remote desert planet" landscape shot...multiple suns optional.
- Somebody references Jabba and/or Boba Fett...probably in a way that's just slight enough for people to feel like it's an "in" joke even though everybody gets it.
- Carbonite. Just...something something carbonite.
- The Millenium Falcon is a piece of junk. That, or someone points out that the Kessel Run is usually finished much faster than Han's much-boasted about time.
- Some kind of "Han shoots first" joke.
- Leia and Han bicker about something. He probably calls her "Princess," or there's a nerf herder line of some sort.
- Han and Luke keep track of who owes who more.
- Imperial Walkers.
- Either Darth Vader's image, or a villain who is styled to remind us of him.
- "Here we go again."
- Someone talks about hate, and all the problems it can cause.
- A younger character behaves rebelliously, and a joke is made about how the rebels are now the old folks.
- We see an underside shot of a Star Destroyer as it passes over. The Imperial March is a given.
- Luke pulls an Obi-Wan... Cuts off an arm or impersonates a monster call. Either way, someone loses an arm or hand.
- We will see the inside of a cantina. Could be THE cantina, in which case a character will warn someone that it is a hive of villainy, and then when they walk in it will be quiet and peaceful.
- A slave girl costume reference.
- Possibly a very slight nod-and-wink to Jar Jar hate.
- A huge boss ship. Probably black. Or a planet sized weapon blows up.
- Either a quip about facing dangerous odds, or a comment about how no sane person would ever fly into an asteroid field. Han may well be the one who makes this joke.
- Lazy joke about Luke and Leia kissing.

It may not be the Tat, but we've already got a desert planet lined up. I'm optimistic.

I count at least 5 on McP's list that are already true based on the trailers.

I count six thus far.

[epilogue]

Why does the villain always have to have a helmet? That always pissed me off in G.I. Joe too with that guy with the bald silver head and that other guy with the blue helmet and flat silver faceplate. And that ninja.

Which ninja?

Wasn't one of the ninjas bad? Not in the stupid movies, but the cartoons. Stormshadow? THEY ALL COVERED THEIR FACES

Well, helmets cover heads, not faces, Ruddo. So what exactly is your beef here? Masks? Or helmets?

Just hiding faces in general, like Darth Vader Jr. in the new movie. Just because you worship Vader doesn't mean you can't show your face. YOU DIDN'T HAVE OBI WAN MESS YOUR FACE UP TOO.

How else are we to know the guy is a villain if not for a mask/helmet deal, Ruddo? Use your brain.

Nobody remembers him, Ruddo. Know why? NO HELMET

[epilogue]

Man, he was so badass in Attack of the Clones.

Um, no. No he wasn't.

He was the most forgettable villain in the history of villains. Well wait, who was the other one in Attack of the Clones? The robot with all the arms? Did that guy even have a name?

Love ya, Rudds!

I predict that I will like The Phantom Menace more than The Force Awakens. Possibly also Attack of the Clones.

Probably. But you hate Abrams. So.... not that surprising, really.

Will I ever be able to forgive him for the brutal sexual assault he committed on my beloved Star Trek? How does someone move on from that kind of trauma? How do I forgive the one who hurt me? It's going to take a lot of time to heal, Joey.

I can't help you, friend. I thought his Star Trek was the tits. Maybe PM McParadigm. He seems to hate all things JJ more than any rational human being should.

[McParadigm]

Yeah, I've never given him credit for anything

[epilogue]

Yeah, I've never given him credit for anything

Whatever, you hate him and you know it. Stop acting like a wounded animal here. What I've said isn't absurd. Whatever credit you've given him has been buried beneath mountains of disdain for his style and shortcomings. It's fine if you don't generally care for the guys work. Just don't try to play both sides, mang.

[LoathedVermin72]

On the flipside of this, I think there's a very real chance Rogue One could either equal or surpass the OT in my mind.
