They did this to differentiate the character from Darth Vader. Kylo Ren is a conflicted, insecure, more human character than Darth Vader ("he's more machine now than man") and that's why they made him take his mask off, to humanize him. He's not the same type of character and that is refreshing because a lot of the movie is already kind of too similar to A New Hope. I do think they should have given the character a beard though because I'm starting to agree he does look like a teenager. I just watched the movie again and I like it just as much, maybe a bit more. I would rank it third behind Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope. I'd say it trumps Return of the Jedi mostly because the Ewoks kind of brought that movie down a bit, and the prequels...well, they're the prequels. I do think there were unnecessary action sequences that should have been cut or trimmed down in favor of more character development. As I said before the whole squid monster scene was completely pointless. Oh, also when Rey and Finn fly away in the Falcon for the first time, that should have been trimmed down a lot. I would have liked to see R2D2 and C3PO more, they have such small rolls.

To be honest I think the amount of fans that even know of Mara Jade are very small and are only part of those who read those Expanded Universe books, which is pretty small in comparison to the entire fan base. I don't think it's a large enough amount to make Disney bring her back unless the character fits with their existing plans. And they probably already own the rights to the character. Timothy Zahn's book series probably had to be licensed by Lucasfilm in the first place to be sold as a Star Wars book.

Yeah but...she's from the expanded universe and Disney through all of that out of canon.

They certainly implied Rey is Luke's daughter at the end but don't forget the trailers and marketing implied that Finn was going to be force sensitive when it was in fact Rey in the movie. It might be a bait-and-switch and she could be revealed to have a different lineage in Episode 8. If Rey is indeed Luke's daughter I wonder who Luke had the child with, there was literally no character in the original trilogy introduced who he could have fathered a child with other than Leia and they would never write that into the story.

Also, I think a lot of you guys are kind of missing the point of what J. J. was trying to do when he made the movie. He was approaching the movie as a fan of the original three movies. He was trying to bring back the nostalgia and feeling of the original trilogy while introducing new characters, he's not trying to add another chapter to a Star Wars history bible that has to be completely coherent. Finding it unbelievable that Rey could mind trick Stormtroopers without any previous exposure to the force is nonsense. The concept of the existence of the force in the first place is unbelievable. Star Wars is not supposed to be scientifically believable in any way, it is fantasy. George Lucas thought of it as a fairy tale. I think if A New Hope was somehow released today instead of in 1977 you would find it just as absurd as TFA.

I think part of it too is that they know that a majority of Star Wars fans are male, so they are trying to broaden the appeal by including a strong female lead that may be more relateable to women. So it's more of a business tactic to bring in more female fans. But then again, the president of Lucasfilm is female, so that factors into it as well. But this would imply that a woman being a stormtrooper is not normal, which makes sense in the context of the Empire but in real life progressives and feminists would find it offensive. Their whole idea for including female stormtroopers in the first place to emphasize equality between genders.

Seamen as in the game

I don't know why a website has to be designed from scratch. You can literally just modify a Wordpress theme and achieve everything you need in like 5 minutes.

I'm thoroughly convinced you either didn't actually see the movie or are trolling, how you could possibly think this is the worst movie ever. Jar Jar is probably your favorite character in the saga.

I remember spending way too many hours reading the visual dictionaries as a kid. It's really awesome to see one for Episode 7.

I saw it last night and I thought it was awesome! It was definitely way better than all of the prequels and I'll have to watch it again to see how it stacks up against Episode 4, 5, and 6. My absolute favorite part was the ending where There were a few things I didn't really like, for one I thought But overall I really liked it.

Love these screens, they look so much like the original trilogy. I hope the film is as good as the original trilogy.

This is kind of random and not entirely particular to Episode 7, but I found a video with a very convincing argument that Jar Jar Binks is actually a Sith lord even more powerful than Palpatine. It would be the most insane plot twist in the history of cinema if Star Wars 7 revealed the main villain to be Jar Jar Binks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yy3q9f84EA

New Vegas is made more in the style of the older Fallout games. It has a lot more roleplaying to it and better writing/story than Fallout 4. I haven't actually played New Vegas that much myself but this is what I've heard. If your more into story and roleplaying that's probably why. In terms of pure gameplay however Fallout 4 is a lot better. Guns feel much more realistic and the graphics are better, etc. Personally I actually prefer Skyrim, despite it being a different game series. Ever since Bethesda took over the Fallout license you might as well call Fallout 4 "Skyrim with guns." The games are very similar.

Yep, $15. I can only get one copy though.

@@JAWSFreelao you a fan of Pac?

If they could fully capture the feel of the games in UE4 then all the more power to them. It makes more sense to create a new game on Unreal 4 than to work on an engine originally created in 1999. Rend-2 is cool and all, but the amount of work to get rend2 looking like Unreal 4 would probably be more work than creating an entirely new game on a new engine like they're doing.

Pretty cool. I hope they can actually put something good together. Normally projects like these surface around here every few months and are forgotten in a week, but with such huge swarm of people on Reddit that are on board to work on a remake maybe it will actually amount to something. It's like the Morroblivion and Skywind team, the Elder Scrolls games are so popular that the sheer size of the amount of people working on the game makes it actually possible.

This game looks pretty sweet but goddamn, the digital deluxe edition with all DLC is $110! Who in their right mind would pay that kind of money for any video game, regardless of how good it is. EA is already trying to cash in on (what seems like) a good game. Remember when games were just $50, and that was long before DLC even existed. You paid $50 and got everything the game had to offer. When I buy this game its going to be at least a year after the release date for less than 30 bucks, there is no way I'm going to give in to EA's lucrative schemes.

But...Battlefront 1 was a reskin of Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam.

How do you even run JA on that? How does it even make a difference whether you have it in the computer or not? lol.

To be fair, Battlefront 1 and 2 didn't really have much of a story in their campaigns either, they were really just map playlists with a very weak generic Clone Wars story to go along with it, not exactly much of a campaign. So far in the beta all you can play is a survival game mode which was fun but got kind of old after a while. The full game will have all mulltiplayer maps playable with bots. I look forward to that, I don't usually like playing big games like that with a lot of people. I hate the experience of just starting an online game and you get 1 shotted like 100 times before you get good enough to play. Probably the only issues I have with the full game is that there's only 4 locations (12 maps) to play on. I have a feeling they will add a lot more as DLC later.
