Honestly, it’s because the plot holes in the SW and Indy films are ordinary for the genre. The ones in Abram’s Trek movies actually change the genres of the films from Hard SF over to Operatic Space Fantasy.

“Trekkies are like hawks. They see everything. They know if you’re making it up. They know and they don’t like it. So I didn’t make it up.”
Ugh. If you’re going to review the movie than review it. Among other things this movie has is that it swaps Leia and Han as main characters and that’s a problem because it reduces her part to a two-bit love interest. Honestly Lussier, who wing your reviews based on your personal tastes way to much. You don’t know good…
Yeah, but the comics suck.
If you say so. Still not seeing the midichlorians issue (sounds like a matter of personal taste to me). Magic death-curing blood, red matter, and transporters with intra-galactic ranges beg a lot of questions about the plot.
No. He isn’t.
Yeah this is my problem too. Most Spider-Man comics take place during Peter’s adult life... :/
Teenagers, like people on the internet, tend to be whiney.
This sounds like my synopsis of Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer in the early Batman movies.
Kids movie is targeted at kids. Who knew?
Frankly both The Hateful 8 and The Revenant look way better than Abram’s SW fanfic. So I’m holding out for those.
Actually his position boils down to, “I think this is the right thing to do, so I’m doing it.”
I would love that.
That would be taking things too far.
That has nothing to do with genius skipping generations and everything to do with played out culture.
This is a reasonable analogy. Though now you have me wishing that Peter Jackson would make a Silmarillion movie... :P
Honestly, I’d one up that and say that Abrams doesn’t understand pulp space fantasy as a genre. But then again, neither does the audience, so it’s kind of a push. No one and nothing is going to recreate the magic that was May ‘77.
Dude, in no universe are midichlorians the epic whatthefuckery that magic death-curing blood is. The whole star trek universe falls apart because of that. Midichlorians are at best a trivial curiosity that doesn’t affect the story. Sorry your brain is out of order.
You hated him. I thought it was fine. It’s never addressed in the OT because terrorists and facists don’t care about science. (and also writers don’t work this way — see also retroactive continuity — which some say was perfected by a guy called Stan Lee).
