    This is going to divide the audiences like no SW movie before it. I suspect those who had anything positive to say about Rogue One will hate this, and vice versa. And I'd rather gouge my eyes out than get anywhere near TPM.
    I liked Rogue One and loved this one. I thought Force Awakens was pretty much shit.

    Meanwhile, I hated RO, and the more I think about it, the more I hate this. I thought TFA was a mixed bag, half a really good movie, half a really obnoxious one.

    This mixed reaction is crazy. You guys are making me really impatient to get to the theater.

    My audience was cheering and eating this shit right up. I felt ridiculously out of place. I felt like we were watching different movies. I almost flung my 3D glasses in disgust a few times.

    We had a friend with us who was like you. He's a hard core fan of the Old Republic games and lore, and doesn't even care for the original trilogy.

    This movie is utter garbage. On par with the prequels. Such an utter disappointment. Disjointed, illogical, bloated, etc., etc., etc. Just awful.

    EDIT: And for the record, I enjoyed The Force Awakens and really liked Rogue One. I was very excited for this.

    See, I get the hate, I have quite a few problems with this film. But "on par with the prequels"? In what universe does this even remotely make sense?

    I think, even as a kid, I was more of a Vader fan than a Star Wars fan. One of my favorite movie memories (from the theater) was seeing Vader walking down the shuttle ramp in the beginning of ROTJ. I think I was five.

    Poor dialogue, bloated length, bad CG, sense of humor that falls flat 90% of the time, drama that elicits no emotion. It might not be quite as bad as the prequels, but it's damn close.

    It's worse than the prequels.

    Yeah, I'm kind of shocked by the negative reactions.

    The Porgs were bad, by the way. They weren't cute and they didn't have any funny scenes. I get it's just marketing but it doesn't even work like that.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Thanks duder! Hope to you stay a while. We were feeling nostalgic a few weeks ago and your name came up quite a bit.

    You still have two other Star Wars threads to lay down your thoughts.

    This is going to sound condescending as hell, but if you hate this movie, you do not deserve to call yourself a Star Wars fan.

    This movie is literally everything a Star Wars movie should be and more.
    Sure why not?

    Guess that means I'm not a Star Wars fan then. Oh well.

    Yeah, the fact he also wrote this is what's most shocking of his involvement. Like, holy shit, how??
