I think for some people it’s the undermining of the mythology but that is probably low hanging fruit. If the movie was well written and well acted they would have liked it
Doesn't the mythology go hand in hand with well written?

I don't care that it's a bad movie. I care about the permanent damage done to the story.

Go back to this very message forum when TFA was released. it got shite on heavily here. Heavily. Just because you liked it doesn't mean it was ripped apart here and elsewhere, because it was.



Not anywhere close to this. Like maybe 20% of the board was against it, they were just a loud minority. There are maybe like 5 posters here who liked this.

The faster they get away from the OT and Skywalker saga the better. It is a good move and smart one by Disney.


But you can do that without fricking up the mythology of those movies and without having to “set it up”

Just do that.

Rey is a nobody, ok. Does that need to be a reveal? Just make those characters a small part of the new story. TFA did this well despite being a remake. For some reason they dig poor yoda up. He’s been through enough. How about Luke is on the island and plays the same role as yoda and his fate is unresolved? Johnson is the one that needed to send him off and include him in the final act instead of just using him as a small part of a bigger story.

He’s in only 1 scene in TFA Abrams didn’t let the outside influence him as much.

Is it possible that these story choices would have been easier to swallow if presented in a movie that didn’t blow?

Well these audience score numbers are misleading as well, 2 years of TFA, 3 days of TLJ.

Basically fake news

It's a no-win sitution. People hated the prequels, they hate this trilogy. The faster they get away from the OT and Skywalker saga the better. It is a good move and smart one by Disney. Get away from the toxic Skywalker Star Wars fanatics and let's start something fresh. 


Don't make Luke Skywalker the central character then lmao

Dude. At no point was TFA rated lower than it is now. It did not jump up over time. Just stop.

And if that happens your original comment of people not liking TFA would still be wrong.

I remember my reaction pretty well. First viewing-so pissed to learn it was a reboot, I could not enjoy it. Second time-OK, this is a reboot, just watch it. Liked it.

There were some people that disliked it for sure. Lots of complaints. But nothing close to this level.

And that climax was awful


When the movie was almost over and it was obvious that it wasn't good, I started looking back and I realized the whole thing was an epic troll job by Johnson. The movie's climax took place in a fricking SALT MINE. That was enough for me to go from hating the thing to absolutely loving the next level troll job that he pulled off. Great stuff.
