After watching the movie, it makes total sense that the the most creative and inventive name these people could come up with was “Space-o-pus.”

“Or the filmmakers just used the theme because it’s awesome, without thinking about the larger implications.”

The excited “Hi Wade!”’s and “Hi Yukio!”’s were probably my favorite running gag in the movie, which is funny because it was probably the most PG joke in the whole thing.

Congrats to Avril’s doppelganger!

So the Asian American character... the Latino American character... the 2 African American characters....

I have Charles. I think there’s just a difference of opinion going on here.

“Rightly criticized”? By who? No one talks about JJ’s race problems. We have 2 POCs in the 1st season as major characters, we have a black male and Hispanic male as major characters in the 2nd season....

I swear to God I never knew this show had a diversity “problem”....

After the last movie, ‘professional critics’ means nothing.

The critics definitely do not love “everything named Star Wars.” Please check reviews of the prequels and The Clone Wars movie. Hell, check some reviews of The Force Awakens.

I think the variance is because professional critics tended to judge the movie as a movie, while SW fans tended to judge the movie as a “Star Wars” movie. If you look at what the common complaints were, most of them boiled down to “This has never happened in a Star Wars film before, it makes no sense,” while critics…

Some Fans: “That movie sucked!”

Oh, wow, I’m glad you think so, but I’m just a fan. Of Star Wars and of TLJ.

“I disagreed with what the professional critics wrote about the last film, therefore their entire job means nothing!”

So most people think that it is overall very good with the main criticism being that it is slow and clunky in the beginning? As someone who ranks Rogue One as my favorite Star Wars movie, I just got pretty pumped for this as I can clearly tolerate a slower/clunkier start to a movie!

Yes. Tons of Star Wars fans are ready to curse this film as an unnecessary story with the wrong guy as Han. So the fact that they are almost entirely positive DOES surprise me.

I am going to go out on a limb at this point and say maybe, MAYBE, Disney is in some type of renewed Golden Age where they just happened to choose the absolute perfect stewards at every turn for beloved franchises?

I personally really enjoyed Claudia Gray’s “Lost Stars” novel.

“Lord Vader, there are hundreds of younglings in line front of us in line for It’s a Small World. At this rate, we’ll be standing in line for hours.”
