I'm pretty set in my mind that I enjoyed TFA more than TLJ, basically going on the mindset that a fine re-telling/re-imagining of the original Star Wars was more enjoyable than a movie that was kinda all over the place. The fact that I keep seeing "AotC was better" on other websites leads me to believe that people have truly lost their minds. I'll take a well-acted if flawed movie over a poorly-acted and flawed one. Part of it is middle movie syndrome. Its why I like IV more than V. IV tells a neat and tidy story on its own, but V needs context. Likewise for VII and VIII. I like VIII more than V though because we did get some self-contained plot. Rey and Finn are in the middle of their journies, so the movie was about Kylo and Luke instead. They both had actual full character arcs set entirely within TLJ, and its fitting they got to be the focus of the climax --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large <cite>Jakyl25 posted [p:894202815] in General St...
