??1905 movie network exclusive feature For the young audience in China, the memory of Star Wars may be a little distant and vague. Although Jedi Knights, Darth Vader, Storm Soldiers and so on are all named, many people are vague about what the story is and what the role is.
Are you worried that those who don’t know this series can’t understand Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
Director Jeffrey Jacob Abrams said: "It doesn’t matter, the two leading men and women don’t understand Star Wars either. This is a brand-new story and adventure, which is about family and emotion. I believe everyone can find resonance from it."
The new hero and heroine in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The main characters of the film are two new actors, and the heroine Daisy Ridley plays Lei. She is a scavenger living in the desert. There was a war there, leaving a lot of old spaceships. She lived there by picking up things while waiting for her family to come back hopelessly, but she was self-sufficient and didn’t rely on anyone else. The hero is Fen, played by john boyega. He used to be a stormtrooper of the First Order, which we are familiar with, but then he escaped from this evil organization. Then he met Lei and suddenly realized that he had entered a life-and-death adventure.
Kylo ren (adam driver), the villain they want to fight, is reminiscent of Darth Vader darth vader. He will also fulfill Vader’s mission and throw out the evil red color possessed by the Sith lightsaber, together with two other bad guys, Captain Fasma (gwendoline christie) and General hax (domhnall glesson).
All the alien monsters in Star Wars are actually made.
In addition, there is a new character BB-8 that has to be mentioned. It can roll and turn like a magnet snowball, and there is something similar to eyes on the hemispherical head, which is its sensor. It is said that BB-8 is actually an aerospace mechanic robot, which can be plugged into fighter planes like robots such as R2 and R4. It is reported that it was produced by a Muppet actor in the post-CG stage, and there are four different versions of it in the whole process. I wonder if you can see it when you watch the film.
Other strange alien creatures, however, will not be made in the later stage, but will be performed by operators and actors in various suits. There is a troll with three people hidden inside. ?
Of course, if you are a senior brain-dead fan of the Star Wars series, you will naturally be happier. In this film, the characters you are familiar with have also returned, such as R2-D2 robot and its good friend C-3PO, which appeared in all Star Wars movies, and our familiar captain Han Solo came back with Tshubaka in the Millennium Falcon, as well as various spacecraft such as the triangle spacecraft destroyer, X-wing fighter and TIE fighter, which made you feel good at once.
Anyone who is familiar with Star Wars knows that although this series of movies also tells everything about the universe, it is different from the hard science fiction of Mars Rescue. In its soft science fiction with fantasy and magic characteristics, the authenticity of science and technology and physics is not important.
However, since the first Star Wars was released in 1977, after more than 40 years, it has evolved from American pop culture to a magical cultural phenomenon. The characters, stories, settings and so on in the film have made many people not only hope, but even think that these are true. In the spirit of seeking truth and exploring, three foreign film editors actually visited a large number of scientific people to see how to use real-world technology and knowledge to solve several puzzles that have been bothering everyone in Star Wars-next, let’s walk into the "real" Star Wars world. . .
Princess Leia appeared again in The Force Awakens.
The Star Wars series has created a whole cosmic framework, and naturally there are a lot of social structures. So, how does the whole Star Wars society work?
1. Is Princess Leia still a princess?
Poor Princess Leia, because she supported the rebellion, she lost her planet, her subjects and her motherland, her territory and her crown. Is she still a princess?
Linxi Wood, an assistant professor at Lancaster University, is studying the female inheritance of Tudor dynasty. He replied that the title of "princess" for a woman "is her birthright, not because of her marriage or meritorious service. It is precisely because of this that this title cannot be taken away. " In history, many heirs to the throne, or princes and princesses, remained princes and princesses after losing their territory. So this is a "bloodline problem" rather than a "property problem", so the tragic fate of Princess Leia does not mean that she is not a princess.
Kylo ren, the villain in this episode, looks like Darth Vader.
2. What criteria do you need to be a stormtrooper?
Well, so far, the only conscription standard we know is Princess Leia’s vicious comment: "Are you too short for a storm trooper?" It seems that the hardware requirement of storm troopers is to have a certain height. However, storm troopers are mostly clones, so it is not difficult to maintain the same height. But in the later period, the empire began to recruit stormtroopers, so there must be hard conditions.
Regarding this qualification, Laurie Cox, a history lecturer at St Andrews University, said: "The number of soldiers needed in Star Wars is astronomical, so the recruitment standard will definitely drop again. At the end of the period, all adult men can get equipment and go to the battlefield. In the middle world and modern history, many emperors and monarchs held amnesties to release some felons from prison and let them go to the front to participate in the war. " Therefore, judging from the history of human society, in those extreme cases, you don’t need any hard qualifications to become a storm soldier, as long as you are willing.
3. How long does it take to become a Jedi?
To be the evil side, Master Yoda put it this way: "Faster, easier and more attractive." So how long will it take for the young Jedi on the bright side to be promoted from Padawan to Jedi?
In the official description of Star Wars, it takes ten years to become a Jedi, and it must be one-on-one training. (This was before the revenge of the Sith destroyed all the Jedi training infrastructure) But on earth, becoming a Jedi is much easier.
In the Jedi Training Camp created by many Star Wars fans, you only need to apply and register to call yourself a Jedi. But if you want to pass four stages of training, it will take six months to a year. So far, this private organization called "Jedi Church" has 500,000 members, and has taught various metaphysical and theological contents — — Of course, lightsabers are not provided here.
BB-8 shouldn’t need decompression either.
4. What do the rebels do to kill time when they are not fighting?
When the rebels put away their wands, what can they do after getting up? Play a game? Or sitting in the coffee shop at the rebel base? Can they also enjoy the SPA? In the world of Star Wars, what are the entertainments like watching movies and chasing plays?
As long as there is no combat mission, the rebels’ leisure style may be similar to that of human beings. A researcher at the British Museum of Natural History explained: "The way for soldiers and sailors to pass the time is to pick up girls. Of course, they should choose carefully. This is the best way to decompress."
Then, the more frenzied question is coming. Do robots like R2-D2 also need decompression? Muri Shanahan, a professor of robotics in Imperial College London, said: "R2-D2 is definitely not what we now call artificial intelligence based on silicon atoms, CPU and software. I believe his processor is biological. If the rebel robot has such a biological brain, just like a computer, then he doesn’t need to rest. "
