Star Wars is popular because of Star Wars fans going to see the movies 2-3 times
People that just like dumb action flicks like many capping for this movie in this thread arent the reason Star Wars sold for 10 billion dollars.
You cant shyt on Star Wars lore. Even though the prequels sucked from a directing perspective they still advanced the lore and resonated with fans.

Prequels weren't the best but the story telling was still good and there was actual character growth. You saw Anakin as a child then a young teen then a man who goes to the dark side. Nothing was rushed......this new star wars reminds me of the superman man of steel movie where the story was rushed and thrown together. When it could have been broken in 2 movies.
Just got back from the theater with my girl. I'll post my thoughts in full once I've had some sleep, but for now I'll just say this:
1. What did Finn, Poe, and Rose accomplish, exactly, besides getting 90% of the resistance killed?
2. As a legit fan of the books, comics, video games, shows, and movies, the sequel trilogy so far has been a disappointment. I'm kind of perplexed how they could have missed the mark like this

Seeing this might have a 65-70% drop this weekend. I find that hard to believe.
This is star wars. That would be insane to see.
I did see a bunch of people online blaming alt right and dceu fans for the low user ratings(seriously)

The mishandling of Luke is far, FAR worse than what the prequel did to Vader. I'm just awestruck 
Makavalli
Sinister is a system
Lol they didnt want this nikka to have any wins. I mean they mention him being a janitor more than him being a skilled soldier. Remember when he posted videos working out and everybody thought he was going to be a beast?? I guess that was for pacific rim 2

The prequels had almost a blank slate.
Only George knew how Anakin was. A lot of people didn't like it but you can't really argue against it - as it fit with the minor descriptions we got (Owen and Yoda being
at Anakin and Obi being 
).Luke, Han and Leia had an entire trilogy setting up their arcs and characters.
Disney broke up Han/Leia, turned Han back into a smuggler and Leia into a rebel leader.
Relegated Chewie and the OG Droids to trivial characters.
Turned Ackbar into an afterthought.
And turned Luke into Jake Skywalker, as Mark Hamill put it.
I saw this shyt coming after the TFA travesty, my expectations were so low for TLJ that I'm not as hurt as some people.
They did Han dirty in TFA so why not Luke too. I'm still a bit
at how people let Episode 7 slide.
For those following my installments, episode 4 of payola-gn: http://m.ign.com/articles/2017/12/22/the-star-wars-effect-how-nostalgia-can-distort-objectivity
LMAO at them using this to defend TLJ but somehow not including the prequels in this effect.
"Sure, there were rocky times between 1999 and 2005, but our love for Star Wars weathered the assault on our youth. Now, it seems, another era is dawning for Star Wars and the reception is… confusing. While there may be many contributing factors to the mixed reactions of this new generation of films, we’re here to talk about the one that lives in so many of us: nostalgia."
Chirping asses :chirp:

Written by Stover or LucenoI was surprised and glad to see that Snoke was so powerful.
Waiting on the Snoke novel now.
This revisionist history of the prequels
As a fan of the prequels I'm
at this shyt. I remember in IGN's review of clones they were chirping on about Gary Kurtz and how George was surrounded by yes men now and blah blah. Now they're talking about "rocky times".Week later turned out they had an exclusive sitdown with Gary Kurtz whining about how George was in it for the toys and George fired his ass after Empire because Kurtz objected to the Ewoks (no mention of ESB being overschedule and way over budget, all on Lucas' wallet).

Dude that movie was kickass aside from a few too many comedic moments, Yall nikkas tripping for the most part.
Movie isn't perfect but when it's not trying to crack jokes its a very good movie
