Hey. It beats having to come up with original ideas.

Yeah, like the taxation of trade routes.

First off I'm not sure if she could leave Jakku before Finn arrived there, but her reasons for being on Jakku are more sad than Anakin's: her severe abandonment issues. Anakin wanted to leave, but I don't think he was a tortured soul at the time like Rey was. She was stuck in her own delusional hell, and had to let it go to become fully realized. She had much more serious issues when we meet her than Luke or Anakin did, but that makes her all the more likable. We root for likable characters when they're faced with opposition.

You are making Rey's situation out to be worse than it really was and are severely downplaying Anakin's situation. You need to take a step back and realize this.

And not to get all history lesson in here, but during slavery in our nation, slaves received a lot of the same treatments that Anakin and his family received too.



It wasn't exactly like "Song of the South" if that's where you got your history lesson from.

I know you're a Mississipian but not all slaveowners were as cruel as those in your state's history.

She's dropped of on a planet with no food and water when she is 5 with no one to support her. I'd say that's a much more traumatic experience than anything Anakin went through. Anakin lived in a two bedroom apartment for god's sake. I've known people in Beijing to have grown up in an apartment with no bedrooms and have 7 family members living in one big room. Hell, I did a home stay where I lived in the master bedroom and then the couple that lives there slept in the den.

There are clearly some people in here who may not have liked some things but are just trolling and trying to stir shite up. It's the same people as usual for he most part.

I know. You've said it plenty. You and I have discussed it.

And those points are fair. You aren't the only one who didn't see the originality or like some of the actors. I don't have a problem with that.

I've never seen anyone get so emotionally invested in movies. Not just this one, I've seen you do it before. I mean, it seems like you are seriously offended that people don't feel the same way about the movie as you.

It's just a movie man. If you like it, that's great. Go see it again. Go see it ten more times. Then come back and tell us how it gets better everytime yoy watch it. Nobody cares. People have different tastes and want to see different things and different characters and want to bitch about them on the internet. It's no big deal

Yeah, I do have a very big passion for films. Thinking about movies keeps me up at night and constantly question if I shouldn't have gone into film making. I really live and breath this stuff. I like debating and presenting my point of view on movies.

Blueboy previously ridiculed me for pretty much having a checklist on what I wanted in this movie, and I was fully satisfied. It was everything I was hoping for it to be. I think it's a good thing they heavily relied on A New Hope and it was a modern day update of the story. But I'm not going say "oh, you all will agree with me and apologize" like Blueboy does. You're entitled to your opinion, but I like presenting another POV and I appreciate others as well. I'm all in this for good fun.

No. Different Galaxy remember?

They can't travel between galaxies?

Pretty sure this all happens in the same one.
