Thanks to The Last Jedi, We Finally Know What “The Force Awakens” Means
This is a pretty good read to get you thinking

*Spoilers in post*
I was between Meh and Solid, I voted solid but probably more meh as I thought about it more. It was messy that's for sure. It's like an IMDB 6.5'ish. That's kind of meh-solid.
They should've eliminated pink hair lady (can't remember her name) and had that filled by Ackbar. Finn and Asian lady needed to go away. They save some animals and remove a saddle and she's like, "Now it's worth it." Hey lady, DID YOU FORGET ABOUT THE FUCKIN' SLAVE KIDS and people dying to the Empire!? But no, since it's Disney we need to show that "WOMEN ARE HEROES TOO!" and "WE LOVE ANIMALS!" /slit wrists
The lightspeed ship thing was a cool FX sequence but made no sense whatsoever. If it was that easy you'd just suicide light speed the Death Star, the giant planet Death Star thing, and the likely Death Star thing giant laser threat blowy up stuff in Episode 9.
What's weird about Episode 8 is it feels like Episode 9. They kill Snoke, Luke saves everyone, the Empire squadron (most of it) gets defeated and they lose the head commander dude, and Luke dies. Like, the movie didn't leave us with much to look forward to in the next movie. We know that Kylo and Rey have to close their story and that's it... So Episode 9 is what? Probably another giant blowy up thing that will be a BIGGER planet that will like..... blow up the Galaxy or some shit I dunno.
Other then that, it was okay. Andrew Driver/Daisy Ridley are literally carrying the franchise forward. They are the only interesting things to watch in the film and they were on screen quite a bit so that was nice. Other then that it's a pretty forgettable trilogy.
I do find it hilarious that Leia (unless they do a plot twist with Luke) is the only one alive in the movie yet out of the actual actors Disney carried forward (alive initially) is the only one dead, LOL. Not trying to be distasteful but the irony is comical.
Are they really?And yet last I heard they still want Harrison Ford to start in another Indiana Jones movie in a few years.
I saw on another site in the comment section talking about this. Paraphrasing it,
"Even if you left everything, plot holes and logic gaps included, in that part of the movie but just replaced Holdo with Ackbar it would be 100x better if they just did this:
"We're running out of fuel and no where to go. They're gonna pick us off. We're trapped!" - some rando
"No...we're not..."- Ackbar, who then lightspeeds his ship into The Supremacy"
Fan boys everywhere would have jizzed.
Are they really?
I think if you take the names Star Wars out of it, and change the character names out of it and it would be a solid movie. But for a Star Wars movie I'd give it a C at best. Create new characters who you portrayed as pivotal then kill them off cheaply, just nothing was Star Wars about it except the Kylo/Rey part. Everything else seemed like a low budget ripoff of the original trilogy battle scenes and a random good SciFy movie.
I was under the impression the knights of ren were the red guys that Kylo and Rey slaughter after killing snoke.Yeah I'd be shocked if we don't see the Knights of Ren in the next movie. We briefly see them in a flashback in 7. Luke briefly mentions them in 8. The plan definitely appears to feature them in 9, especially now with Snoke and Phasma gone. The only First Order characters we have left now are Kylo and Hux. My guess is that we'll learn that for some reason Kylo couldn't have them around while Snoke was still in charge. Even though he wasn't a Sith, I think Snoke might have believed in the "Rule of 2" but Kylo does not.
A good number of Star Wars fans thought the movie blew apart a lot of the mysticism around the force. Luke Skywalker refuted the force and then joins Obi Wan in the netherworld etc.
I don't understand it myself. I don't think it was that controversial.
I liked it and thought it was pretty good overall.
I liked Rogue One a good deal as well.
So far I think this series is second to the original 3
-The casino scene is completely useless
-smoak death stupid
-captain phasma death, why?
-Rose/Finn
-How they made Luke behave
-poorly timed comedic relief
-cgi chewbacca
i could go on, would love to see why people liked this one? besides nice visuals, i was not a fan the direction disney/writers/director went after JJ Abrams set them up nicely
Luke wouldn't have tried to kill his sisters son. Luke wouldn't be a little bitch and not help the resistance/train Rey. Luke's death was stupid. If he was going to die anyways, why not go to the fucking planet and spark hope for the rebellion while the rest escape? LAMEI had no problem with a disenchanted Luke who, in the end, died like a true Jedi. I like that battle a good deal, especially the brush off of death by Luke
I liked the battle between Rey and little Darth. Liked her moral and mental triumph over the dark side
I was surprised by Smoak's death and had no problem with it.
who was captain phasma?
The Rose/Finn thing didn't bother me. He wasn't worthy of Rey anyways
I didn't notice CGI chewbacca.
I thought the saving of Princess Leia was dumb.
Yeah the casino scene was kinda stupid.
Fuck capitalism!Everyone on the resistance was unlikeable. Like Rose referring to the rich aliens as "the worst people in the galaxy" before tearing up their casino and town. Some hero.

Agreed, it's almost like they are recycling some storylines/ideas from the original trilogyA lot of the criticisms of the movie I consider valid but would have been willing to overlook them if it had an interesting story, which in my opinion it did not. I feel like most of us could have written as good of a story and many of you probably could have written better.
