But this story was not only halfway decent, it was the best Star Wars story ever! Cannoli Send a noteboard - 18/12/2017 11:52:35 PM

And really, I do like the SW universe and the characters, the movies nearly always look very good and sound very good. But without a story that's at least halfway decent, it's just a waste.

We loved it in 1980! What's wrong with it now?

That's about the only thing that is NOT spoiled by viewing the original trilogy Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:51:30 PM 607 Views
It opened tonight. Just got back from seing it random thoughts - 15/12/2017 04:57:22 AM 877 Views
I found it very underwhelming to be honest. Legolas - 15/12/2017 06:57:39 PM 877 Views
But you don't like anything..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 15/12/2017 08:14:39 PM 256 Views
I like plenty of stuff. The latest Thor movie, for instance. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:33:39 AM 539 Views

very minor spoilers random thoughts - 15/12/2017 08:43:44 PM 537 Views
Big spoilers. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:55:05 AM 672 Views
I think the two go hand it hand (still spoliers) random thoughts - 16/12/2017 01:43:00 AM 585 Views
Fair point. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:42:54 PM 632 Views
Thank you. I was looking for a breakdown but that tells me enough. Tom - 18/12/2017 01:45:41 AM 585 Views
Agreed with everything you wrote here. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:22:56 PM 562 Views
Well, I hope they are. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:32:29 PM 560 Views
The story being pretty weak? Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:03:51 PM 603 Views
Well, in the computer games, for one. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:29:31 AM 541 Views
I have mixed feelings about it. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:18:05 PM 567 Views
"The middle of a trilogy is usually the weakest" ... except The Empire Strikes Back Tom - 18/12/2017 02:45:26 PM 508 Views
Yes. Both the good and evil camps are shallow imitations of the original series. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:59:14 PM 496 Views
I found it confusing, terrible and kind of boring *spoilers* AgentApple - 16/12/2017 10:41:34 PM 573 Views
I very much agree with this review AgentApple - 16/12/2017 11:06:55 PM 634 Views

The Jedi were slave owners random thoughts - 18/12/2017 01:42:19 PM 533 Views
Yet they still managed to create a pretty great political system Tom - 18/12/2017 02:46:54 PM 540 Views
They weren't the owners, that was the Republic/Senate Cannoli - 19/12/2017 01:38:05 PM 539 Views
stop making excuses for the slave masters random thoughts - 19/12/2017 03:22:54 PM 460 Views
They are no different than Eisenhower, MacArthur or Pershing, all of whom led slave soldiers Cannoli - 20/12/2017 12:09:33 AM 545 Views
draftees are not biologically modified slaves random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:49:33 PM 530 Views
No, they're just ill-prepared slaves Cannoli - 21/12/2017 11:34:02 AM 545 Views
No the Jedi sucked random thoughts - 21/12/2017 04:18:48 PM 568 Views

I got up and walked out. *spoilers* aerocontrols - 18/12/2017 07:48:42 PM 595 Views
I'm confused. Legolas - 18/12/2017 08:19:48 PM 550 Views
You may have walked out a bit early... *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:41:00 PM 264 Views
It's kind of hilarious how divided opinion is on this movie... Legolas - 18/12/2017 07:53:12 PM 694 Views
That would explain much *NM* AgentApple - 19/12/2017 07:15:36 AM 318 Views
I really liked it as a deconstruction of Star Wars. Ghavrel - 19/12/2017 10:34:59 PM 635 Views
You're going to have to elaborate on that one... Legolas - 19/12/2017 11:22:01 PM 685 Views

It is JJ Abrams and the idiot critics love him random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:51:06 PM 556 Views
Abrams didn't do this film. Rian did. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:46:21 PM 283 Views
It's not real opinion that's divided. Tom - 20/12/2017 02:59:59 PM 741 Views
Did anyone else think... *spoilers* Duke - 20/12/2017 05:04:44 AM 1007 Views
Well it was original fan-fic...first half tedious, second half quite enjoyable Sports_Gambler - 21/12/2017 06:14:35 AM 687 Views
