The more time passes and I remember how much I don't care about star wars. But tbh I would rather not live in a marvel Star Wars movie universe so kinda wishing this whole thing never happened.

I really need to watch it again now. But I am getting the same feeling. Actually now I think abou it i liked the last two Star Trek movies better now. I really need to watch it again for a final decision.

My biggest gripe was Carrie Fisher ruined it for me. Even though she lost weight she looked horrible, acting was bad on her part too.

I remember the appearance she had in Big Bang Theory, I mean she looked way worse there than in the movie. If I remember she was diagnosed Bi-Polar and has plenty of issues. But damn, do not cast her unless it is going to make the movie better. It kind of ruined it for me, quite a bit.

when I think about it, I have never cared for Star Wars that much, even the original 3. Obviously there have been a lot of decent Star Wars branded products like the N64 game, x wing tie fighter, and some of my old action figures, but if I'm being honest with myself I give zero fucks about the lore, could not give less of a fuck about any of the characters since the writers behind them are complete hacks (I kinda like yoda), and I consider the movies all pretty boring.

Possibly the only reason I even saw Star Wars as a kid in the first place was the theatrical re-release barrage in the 90s before Phantom Menace. And even then I'd say it made much less of an impact on my childhood than silly popcorn monster movie Jurassic Park, which somehow still manages to feel more like cerebral hard sci fi than the Force universe.

The whole franchise is a case study on how to use the power of Jewry to funnel all of childrens' interest in hard science, space travel, and scifi into an idiotic and hamfistedly political soap opera about race mixing where everything sciency might as well be powered by magic.

It's just not a very interesting setting. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of interesting things that happen but none of it really matters, planets and star systems blow up and then become forgotten. There's always an evil empire in one form or another and when it's defeated by heros another one replaces it in a few decades. That's 40,000 years of star wars history in a nutshell.

Huh? So what, really? You can't have interesting characters in this setting?

I thought Shadows of the Empire was a good story, as did many non-fans.

Along with the Thrawn trilogy, which fans and non-fans agree really should have been episode 7 8 and 9. Huge missed opportunity to create some classic Star Wars movies in 2016 ala the original trilogy that people would be talking about for the next 30 years. They would have been serious and dark ala The Dark Knight, not the SNL skit with the Eddie Murphy storm trooper. And extremely dramatic. You know, the fucking space opera that Star Wars was meant to be? Yeah pal.

Fans lost out bad on this one to Zion, I mean Disney.

I'll only be watching this for trainwreck factor to see if they can pull all 3 movies off with video-game cutscene pacing and vomit-inducing editing. And for Kylo Ren, the only moderately interesting character Star Wars has ever had since 1980.
