>So just because the Ewoks were a retarded addition to Star Wars, we should accept other people adding retarded shit to the franchise?
Just keeping perspective, and I stand by Han dying not being shitty whereas Ewoks were.
>No seriously then you really are a shitty writer. If you can't demonstrate how ebil your main villain is, without having said villain kill off an established and loved hero… then you can't write shit
Naw, seriously, it's fine when said beloved hero has a relationship with the killer that makes the act personal and important. It's not shitty just because it makes fans nerd rage.
>– there really is nothing in the movie that actually explains to us WHY he has to kill his father. Oh murdered his father… but had he really ever loved his father? The way he spoke about Han when talking to Rey suggested that he didn't even like the guy. We know far to little about Kylo to really understand his motives.
Naw, you're wrong about that. Read between the lines. He's trying to convince himself more than Snoke or anybody that he has what it takes to transcend Vader's legacy. Kind of already covered all the proof that he did. I'd say there's a chance he cared about him given his tone in the scene and how Snoke before then challenge him on it. Dollars to donuts Snoke could sense out his ambiguity. Of course he's going to act nonplussed like that in front of Rey, though, why would he admit to it? It would showing weakness to do otherwise.
>No it was "that simple". He was afraid he would betray the dark side, so instead of actually living with it – he became a pussy and took the easy way out. Once he killed his father, he would have no more issues… so it wasn't hard – it was easy.
It really isn't that simple. The Dark Side is usually portrayed as the quick and easy path to power (so I guess all Sith are crap villains), which goes back far in the films, but that doesn't make killing Han only an easy out. "Living with it" means not moving on and not proving to himself that he can sever his past. It's not easy if he actually valued that past, which context suggests he does.
>Imagine you are the president…
I'd answer yes to all of your rhetorical questions. Those are villainous deeds, period.
>People will hate this character because they killed their favorite character, not because the character is so villainous that you want to hate him for being a villain.
Those people are autists with an inordinate personal attachment to a fictional being.
>Yes there is – because unless we care about the new characters first, what defines their character will not be their motivation or who/what they are… they wont be important to the story – they will just be "that retarded new character that killed the best damn character in Star Wars". Kylo didn't become a good character because he killed his father, nor did he become even remotely interesting. The scene was wasted.
Their importance to the story is independent of whether or not you or anybody else in the audience deigns to care about them. It makes sense for Kylo Ren to kill his father and for that to be significant. That justifies it alone and he doesn't need to pass some arbitrary coolness bar before he "gets to" kill Han Solo. That is objectively true whereas your lack of interest and belief in the scene being wasted is just subjectivity. He may not be a "good" character yet, but he's indisputably more defined.
>No it does. The villain has to prove themselves not only as villains but as characters in their own right. In movies where villains are central to the movie, they more than the heroes need to actually be able to fulfill their role.
Naw, the villain exists in the setting and his rationale doesn't have size up with how much fan service his deeds can generate. The writer needs to make his actions plausible, understandable, sympathetic, unsympathetic, insane, or whatever based on the desired effect, but nowhere is it written that he needs to earn some right from the audience to do anything, and thank God because fans are retarded.
>If Han's death was treated as central to the movie and the movie had been about Han, they yes his death would have been accepable
He didn't need to be central to the film for his death to make sense or be acceptable.
>His death was, by your own admission, used as a tool to make Kylo seem ebil.
Which it did.
>Instead we got a raging Mary Sue fighting with an hipster in a fight that wasn't important to the story at all. Absolutely nothing would have changed even if their fight hadn't taken place after Solo was killed.
Well, no, it was pretty relevant to the 3 characters involved.
>… like I said – nobody.
A nobody who you seem pretty keen on disproving with red hot opinions, bruv.
