The prequels were bad movie but FA did nothing for the universe as a whole.


I am so tired of this bullshite retarded line.

Let's see what happens in The Last Jedi. TFA was an introduction to the characters. And it did its job very well.

I liked Kylo's villain alot. He's struggling with the Dark side and the light side. He's young and untrained but powerful. It'll be interesting to see his transformation with Snoke in the next movie. He slaughters an entire town of innocent people, stops bullets midair, kills his own dad, beats the frick out of Finn, etc.... And he still a young apprentice with no training.

And Rey was a cool character too. Raised in a desert junk yard fending for herself, growing up hearing about and believing in the legends of the Jedi.

Poe was a solid side character, I even like Finn's character. We never got a behind the scenes look at storm Troopers. That was an interesting take.

I'm convinced that a certain group of people were never going to be satisfied with TFA. Sure it had some flaws, but what movie doesn't.

Hell you can't even look at the original trilogy as a comparison. Because everyone wants to compare TFA to the entire first trilogy. Which is bullshite and unfair.

Let's see what happens with The Last Jedi.

Look at just the original Star Wars.

No Yoda, you don't know Vader is Luke's father, Luke is untrained and basically just a pilot, Vader is cool but not nearly on the level he gets to after Empire, the Emperor isn't shite yet, etc...

And yet everyone wants to say TFA was a shitty movie. It was the first movie in a trilogy. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. It set up the universe and it introduced the characters.

I've watched it over and over again since it came out and I like it more each time.

I blame Google (and other Internet search engines) for killing the ability (or desire) to suspend disbelief when it comes to sci-fi.

Back in the 70s and 80s (when sci-fi and horror were ruling the day), your only chance to look "behind the curtain" on these films was to read fan magazines, or maybe catch a TV special (there were a number of them about Star Wars - for those who remember). Also, if you wanted to "dig deep" into the science in these films (for the purposes of questioning it or shitting on it), you had to do just that - go digging.

Today, with just a few clicks and keywords, you can disassemble any movie (or, find a youtuber or blogger that has already done it) within about 60 seconds.

It sucks.
