OMG, you were serious?

You no likey JJ lol

Nah. He's too HW for my tastes. Like Micheal Bay or Bryan Singer.

People like Lucas and Roddenberry and Whedon(Firefly not Avengers) are more artistic than he will ever be.

And it seems like so far nothing original has come from JJ.

If he were to write an original sci fi franchise, I'd be willing to give it a shot though. :{

I agree for the most part, I have enjoyed the new Star Trek movies quite a bit. I think the writing in Force Awakens is the main problem. I mean I loved it but it may have been more nostalgia than anything. I do have to agree with your meme, but I was still in heaven watching it lol.

I get that for a lot of people it's just the experience/nostalgia of seeing SW in the theater.

To say it's great though is too far a stretch for me. Any reasonable person will come to the conclusion that it's garbage. Logically it isn't any good. Visually it is.

Disney had lightning in a bottle and dropped the bottle. Which sucks for the SW fans since it means that from here on out we're just going to get shitty amalgams of the real SW like Disney has done with the MCU.

To me, SW ended after ROTJ and the EU is the only thing after it. lol Death to Disney! :{

I didnt get to it today,.... and I want to comment more accurately

I could give you a link. :{

I had to look at your profile,... to see you made comments. They didnt show up on my notifications. Temp glitch I hope...

Yeah I get that sometimes too. You'll see a notification before the message shows up on the meme. :{

Cool.. ain't just me on the phone.

You just cracked me up. It's true - it's so similar.

The Force Awakens is a big-budget remake of A New Hope that's not as well scripted or directed, and doesn't have characters that are as interesting/relatable (and with a weird feminist/diversity agenda thrown in).

There's also not the creative spark present in TFA that's in the 6 previous films.

Lucas wanted to make money, but also had an artistic story to tell. Disney only wants money and to push agendas.

The messed up thing is that Disney would have still made the same amount of money with what they already had in the EU. They would have had plenty of female leads. Ridley would have been Jaina Solo. It's the same character just she's Han's kid.

And instead of Solo dying Chewie dies, but in a much more meaningful death. He dies saving children as a moon crashes into a planet. Han and Chewie and Han's youngest son Anakin are helping to evacuate a planet and they're piling refugees(ironically topical) into the Falcon and Chewie goes back for a kid and has to throw that kid up to Han on the Falcon and Han's son Anakin is flying the ship and decides that they have to leave Chewie to save everyone else. Chewie gives Han the look of "run you fools" and Han watches as the moon hits the planet. Chewie raises his hands up in defiance at the moon and roars at the moon. The planet is cracked and Han sees Chewie die. Han blames Anakin for leaving Chewie to die. It takes awhile, but later Han tries to forgive Anakin. being in a similar position of having to leave Luke behind, not knowing if he was dead.

It would have made for a better film that would still have pleased the people that liked TFA. They could have still put in the feminism angle with Jaina(Ridley). Carrie Fisher wouldn't have to worry about any strenuous scenes as well as Harrison Ford.

It would be great if somehow, Disney decided to make that film. :{
