The storm troopers are useless in this movie. This is a true SW film!!

So true. They supposed be the most fearful force in the galaxy and yet a group of them gets they're asses handed to them by a 100Lb girl, and a guy with a stick.

Wonder why this guy doesn't have a saber

Yup.

Disney doesn't hate the PT... if they did... she would not have been cast.

I was hoping she would be recast as MM. In the L8TWRTR version of the Episode 3 he puts her scenes back in the movie and they had a good flavor. Seeing her in this will just cement them as the real versions in my own personal head canon.

That's nothing, wait until you see what happens to them in E6 when they get to Endor!

The Stormtroopers continue to be cannon fodder probably to make the Deathtroopers more fearsome by comparison. Also to make matters worse, I think Donnie Yen's character is also blind So I guess blind > blind aim.

FO trooper would've blown his head off already

Nice to see Katniss return, and love how in a galaxy far far away they called "assault" and "resisting arrest" asault and resisting arrest... kinda took me out of it

Weird. I wasn't bothered by that at all... Now the Skywalker theme took me out a bit... but surely that isn't in the final score... hopefully... maybe....

So you were fine with them using English terms in all the movies up until now, what's changed? As an example there's no reason they should use 'love'

That's actually "The Force Theme". Luke's Theme is actually one of the refrains from The Main Theme.

Thanks for spoiling the movie for me!

Love is used pretty prominently in RotJ

"Celebrate the light! Yoh-Wa! Celebrate the light! GLORY! Celebrate the luuuuuuuv. Celebrate the luuuuuuv. Celebrate the LUUUUUUUUUUUUUV"

for the most part yes, I am just pointing out these particular phrases. for example they say credits instead of dollars, both are english words but one is a bigger reality to us, and the others helps build the fantasy. does that makes sense?

edit: now that im thinking about empire, they do use assault when attacking the shield generator, its doesnt bother me there, but it seems to here, I dont know what it is particularly

I love the trailer but the english law and order terms (aggravated assault lol) made me think of them as US and not SW characters.

Well yeah, but Leia is a traitor, Han is a rogue and a scoundrel, they are all rebels etc. There are many different currencies, so using a different word makes sense, how are yiu going to let an audience know that she resisted arrest without using a bunch of very awkward words?

"escaped/ evaded capture" would be a start

But from my POV capture is different to arrest. So saying it your way doesn't sound like she's resisting the authorities so much as running from the mob or something similiar

and from POV the jedi are evil!

but the empire is a repressive regime that everyone is against (seemingly) so they are kind of the MOB of the Galaxy. they dont offer trials or court precedings, so Capture would be fine in the context of the galaxy far far away
