That would make less sense to me I would thin she was a Skywalker.

Especially when you consider his relationship with Duchess Satine in The Clone Wars and apparent lack of any relationship since her death (that we're made aware of anyway), so it doesn't seem like there was any time where he had any children who would then be able to give him grandchildren.

Saw this movie, it was awful. The lead actors were terrible, I've seen better acting performances in my old high school's plays. Literally the best acting job was done by chewbacca and the new roly poly droid, which is sad because all they do is grunt and beep respectively.

I hope the sequel is called the Force Goes Back To Sleep, because that movie sucked.

It seems that with this movie you either really loved it or you really hate it.

I'm in the middle. Never found the new gen that exciting and too many plot armors that even rivals the first three episodes.

Solo stole the shown and the best and lasting positive for this franchise went down the drain with his death.

Meh. Even Han Solo's acting was poor. His "death" was awful, the entire scene was terrible.

Nah if you look into and watch certain bits of the movie a big chunk of the community believes it too

I have to say after thinking about it for a while. I'm also in the middle.

Should "still better than prequels" be a next gen meme?

Anyway, saw it once and after a while, I still left pretty satisfied. It wasn't like with me on Star Wars Episode 2, where I was thinking it was good, but that's because the fans went banana on Yoda's scene. Wish phone camera today existed back then to show you my view...Anyway, after a while, I remember thinking the movie was a bit boring. Oddly enough, NC said the same thing, though he called it the worst one. I don't know, perhaps I have to see all of them again.

I saw episode 1 again, but I didn't have time to do a speed run. Episode 1 was a movie that always begged the fans to change their mind to like it but it's either give in for petty reason or don't convert at all. I'm not saying all hate episode 1, but I feel like it's very hard to like it when your first impression is negative. But that's just me.

Bottom line, to each of their own.

^it wasn't better than the prequels. This is coming from someone who fell asleep through the first half of attack of the clones.

This could have been an flawless movie if J.J. Abrams knew what the word creativity meant.

I don't think any of us thought it's original, but they summed it up nicely in the end. Honestly, last year feels like a trend of hate on what's big. You may say "it's always like that," but this one is getting noticeable that you can't express your joy without thinking "on second thought..." Nothing wrong with changing opinion, but the hate always have that vibe of "You're in or you're out," more so than the likes vibe with "Internet sure needs life." Both are negative and neither I think of them but sure kills my mood.

Well your opinion, while I respect that, always differ from me. Seriously... But that's the point of an opinion.

I don't hate the movie myself. It's just that it baffles me how so many people sing praise to it... when it haves no merits. I mean, sure it's fun, it's flashy and it feels sober all at the same time, wich is a difficult combination to achieve. But never the movie makes itself deserving of it. I mean, how would people feel if they finally made a matrix 4 and the movie is great but at the cost of the plot being an obvious carbon copy of the first one? Wouldn't that feel cheap?

Well the thing is that they made the "what's done before isn't a bad thing" work. Honestly, while I understand a lot about the whole similar feeling, that seems like a strong perk to use to go against the fans that loves it. Now granted, fans can overly praised for being the same, but I do believe there are fans, which there are, that generally like the movie because of actual reasons.

My brother really likes the movie and not once he reflects the idea of being "nostalgia," outside the fans reacted strongly with old cast appearance. I guess the main problem is the overwhelming response of positive hindered on why certain people truly likes it for the reason they probably missed. Basically, what seems to be like the same opinion on everyone and if you think "it's nostalgia, that's why it's awesome" is all you get from fans, then it will blind you to think otherwise. Like me for example. I already like One Punch Man a lot before the anime, but now with anime, they will think I jumped ship and like it because everyone does. No one will think otherwise.

Basically, there are many reasons to like and dislike something, so you shouldn't think there's only one reason or rather a popular one. Plus, NC has reviewed all SW films and you can tell that he wasn't going to sugar coat it, yet he likes episode 7 with that acknowledgment of being similar. I'm not saying you should like it more or hate it more, but everyone should understand that not everyone will think the exact same thing.

I agree his death was poor, but Ford's performance was bet out of the original cast.

I mean, obviously a lot of people think the film has merits. You are certainly entitled to your opinion to dislike it.

 

I'll be interested to see how this movie holds up over time. But after several viewings I still think it's excellent. My problems with the film were expected based on previous JJ Abrams work, and I thought the new cast was fantastic.

Do I think it's better than the prequels? Yes I do because to me it brought the feel of the original three compared to the prequels it was a step up. It wasnt a great film like the originals Star Wars but they're a hell of a lot better than the dreaded prequels. I also think that it was a bit lacking in the story telling department by my complaints about her automatically knowing, how to use the force, to her being a Mary Sue type character, and not explaining, how she was able to weld the force so well without training.

[Ryriena]

She could be a prodigy or she have a Jedi training but forget about it.

Is she the daughter of Luke or Han?
