JarJar Abrams! Haha!

Absolutely, how anyone can come to the conclusion that TFA moved the story forward just stuns me.

People clapping at a movie screen, I will never understand this.

Totally made me think of Obi-Wan : “The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.”

Well I’m hoping Rian Johnson will.

When you take the money and attach your name to it, you get blamed, if you want to replace every mention of JJ with Disney or the film makers in your head so be it.

Really because the characters seemed to forget it pretty quickly. BB-8’s reaction to Poe “dying” was more dramatic.

Unrealistic set of expectations? You mean it’s unrealistic to expect them to tell a new story? Unrealistic for them to come up with something more original than a third Death Star? Then yeah I had completely unrealistic expectations.

Or he could be suggesting that there is a middle ground between our former a heroes having achieved nothing and being broken versus everything is perfect. Like in the EU where they are protecting the New Republic. I think you could have had one or two of the three sacrifice themselves so that the newbies can take over…

“parallel” The term you are looking for either is Plagiarism or carbon copy.

Yeah but none of that covers Han and Leia breaking up and Luke having a mental breakdown. More importantly Harrison wanted him killed off mostly for dramatic effect and in my opinion BB-8’s reaction to be told Poe was dead was more dramatic than Han Solo dying so they really messed his death up.

THIRD DEATH STAR seriously, I don’t care if most people liked it. I have the right to feel insulted when so little effort was put into the story.

Actually... Leia clearly mentions him before hand in the message so she possibly already knew him and he sacrificed himself to let Han,Leia and Luke get away. Sure it would make more sense if Luke named his kid Ben but still.

I feel like the EU in some cases found a better middle ground. Luke does found a new Jedi Order. Leia is in Charge of a fledgling New Republic and Han is still flying the MF but is definitely not having a mid life crisis/ still a smuggler. I wasn’t expecting them to follow the EU exactly but I felt some of their…

So if you didn’t like it the first time because it’s a rip-off A New Hope, go watch it again? Are you paid by Disney? “from issues that many other great films have” I can see why most people like this movie but are you seriously suggesting this unoriginal movie with a THIRD DEATH STAR is a great film?!

I did not and am not saying Han is solely defined by his insecurities. His bluster is mirrored by Finn’s lies about his past to Rey. Han even pulls aside Finn and all but says I tried lying to a force sensitive chick before it doesn’t work. Han and Chewie, at the start, are two friends with few other connections. A…

That was what I was saying ( empowered- given or made to feel like they had the power to question him) Lucas didn’t empower the people around him to be genuinely critical of his decisions/vision.

Really? I thought Boyega showed Ridley up in some scenes and her aristocratic British accent felt very inconsistent with her character but I felt she had good moments. I loved most of her scenes on Jakku (maybe this wasn’t solely her acting).

Sorry your right it is Ridley Scott. I wonder if part of the problem is there aren’t enough guys around these directors that can say you know what Steve/George/Ridley maybe that’s not a good idea, maybe there’s a better way to do this. With Lucas in particular there’s some really revealing footage of him screening a…

Most religions aren’t particularly rational. Again I get your point, there is a limited time spent on his sayings and it does not effect
