Current Events > All ofthe normal, well-adjusted people I know really enjoyed TROS.

(+) Yeah! (+)

All of the anger has come from nerds on the internet.

There may be a pattern here but I'm struggling to see it...

Nice b8 m8. Id r8 8/8.

you dont have to be a nerd to not enjoy this movie brah...

It seems to me that people who went into it wanting to hate it hated it. Most other people enjoyed it.

I thought it was phenomenal, although I had just gotten done watching the Prequel Trilogy with my girlfriend in preparation so I think most competent movies would have seemed phenomenal by comparison.

The prequels told a far more coherent story compared to the sequels and thats saying something. The only bad things about the prequels were that George Lucas wrote the script himself instead of using someone who actually understood how humans speak to one another, and Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portmans performances. Like hire real script writers to work with Georges story and two actors who actually cared a fraction of what Ewan McGregor cared, and youd have the best SW trilogy by far.

The sequels have better acting but really suffer from identity crisis.

Yep. Amazing how people who read leaks and have spent the past two years frothing at the mouth over SW went into it wanting to look for stuff to hate and hated it.

Saving this for later.

I was disappointed by it and there were definitely flaws, but it's still a reasonably competently made SW film.

Okay, this is pretty great.

Same thing happened with the prequels.

---

I think it's the worst of the 11 movies by far but you won't see me running around for 2 years hollering about it ruining star wars or being "objectively right"

---

So people that don't give a shit about Star Wars beyond the latest movie in theaters liked the movie? Who would have thunk it. Meanwhile, actual Star Wars fans hate the new trilogy and how it destroyed the lore and betrayed the characters and their progression from the original trilogy.

Ive been a Star Wars fan for 25 years, have a Star Wars tattoo, and can almost guarantee I know more about it than anyone on this board if not site. Guess im a fake fan lol

"normal" people are idiots

---

You guys going "If you didn't like TLJ or ROS you must be a bitter nerd" and et cetera are getting just as bad as the supposed "nerds". A lot of people go to far with their hatred, but it's not everyone or even most of the people who didn't like them.

Racist slur
(People of that race): "Im so offended!"
(People not of that race): "I dont see a problem."

It's always like this

That's pretty dumb on your part. The OT still exists and is untouched by the new trilogy. You still have your extended universe stories. Sorry that this thing you can ignore happened.

My buddies who saw it all enjoyed it, and all said it was much better than TLJ. I'm going to trust them more than people on the Internet who seem to have devoted their entire lives to hating a popcorn flick.

You comparing a movie you dont like to being the target of racial hatred is too phenomenally stupid to validate

So you have no rebuttal? All normal, well adjusted people i know have rebuttals.

Edit lemme simplify the example you couldnt understand so you cant cop out.

Bad star wars movie
Fans: That sucked
Non fans: I enjoyed it.

Well, seeing how this is a continuation of the OT, I wouldn't say it's untouched. Ignorable, yes, but not untouched, kinda like how the Cell arc of DBZ was tainted by the ending of the FT arc of DBS ruining Trunks' happy ending and all the themes of his story (well, this wasn't quite as bad as that). That being said, I liked TRoS, and most of its issues came from the fact that it had to backpedal from TLJ's poor decisions, so some things felt rushed. RJ and JJ should've communicated better when TLJ was being made for things to be at least "cleaner" or more coherent.

This is true. The sequel trilogy had no direction, no plan or vision and the movies suffered as a result in a disjointed mess.

Only proving his point by using that stupid meme...

Lairen has no chill

Normal people don't care about Star Wars enough to get angry at it for having dumb writing. That'd be like getting angry at The Fast and the Furious for having dumb writing.

You laugh at it, you poke fun at it, but like...shit, you don't get angry at it. It's just a fucking kids movie. Just have fun like you're supposed to, stop treating Star Wars more important than it is.

Considering you are someone just trolling on their alt, I would say no you aren't a fan at all. You are just trying to piss people off and rile them up since trolls have nothing better to do with their lives.

Rebel has apparently been a fan for 25 years, knows more than anyone on this board about Star Wars and has a tattoo.

Don't you dare call him just a troll.

Yes, im clearly just trolling on my alt and not posting on it because my main, the name of which is clearly listed in my sig, id warned. You got me. 25 years of Star Wars fandom were all a joke to rile you up

The movie was an enjoyable conclusion to this mess called the Disney Sequel Trilogy, but passionate fans understand the damage episode 7-9 has caused the franchise as a whole.

Imo, The Last Jedi makes a good stand-alone "epilogue" to the OT

I'm not one to claim that anything retroactively ruins an entire franchise if it was good before so I find that a bit silly. But I haven't seen Rise of Skywalker yet so I don't know how I would feel about it yet.

I resonated with that twitter bit.

The star wars fanbase is definitely awful and extremely miserable but the movie also sounds extremely dumb tbh.

---

Star Wars Theory is probably the biggest Star Wars YouTuber, and he really liked the film despite hating TLJ and shitting on it.
