I grew up with the original trilogy and am a huge fan.
That said, here are my predictions: Lots of CGI, cringe-worthy stupid stuff, and no plot. Moar purple or pink haired SJW characters. Moar Mary Poppins space stupidity. Lando's gonna somehow get shwacked so they can get rid of another original character. I hope my expectations are so low when I see the movie, that there may be something good to enjoy. Rogue One is my favorite. That Vader scene at the end is just awesome. Darth Vader's rage | Star Wars: Rogue One [Ending scene] |

After they literally destroyed his character in that last piece of shit. Whatever. |

After Disney screwed the pooch on these sequels, Lucas’s prequels, which everyone shit on, don’t look so bad in comparison.

You have to be born with the aility to use the force but you aren't born knowing how to just intuitively use it. Luke fails repeatedly at learning and using the force over 3 movies. All the Jedi learned. That's why there was an academy/temple to train them, and a master/apprentice relationship. Anakin wasn't flawless - not as Anakin or Vader. Obi Wan - yep, not flawless. Qui gon Jinn. Even YODA had to learn, train, develop mastery ***over time*** with practice (learning from errors and from others). Same with the dark side of the force - The Sith have to learn, develop, and screw up too. But not Rey. Rey masters without learning or mistakes. She's a flat character in terrible written and directed stories - She is unbearably boring. The only character like Rey is Leia 2.0 in Episode 8. Leia 2.0 exhibited no powers whatsoever over her whole life, despite her magical Force heritage, until Disney decided she would suddenly have them and can fly through space with them. Star Wars is an admittedly pretty flawed movie series that was nonetheless entertaining - at least until these new ones arrived. Now plot and character development is just absent (and can't imagine it'll get better in 9). View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

She's force sensitive. all such people are characterized as being unnaturally good at everything they attempt and lucky. Just like Luke was ... bulls-eyeing wamprats in his t-16 back home... Not everyone can be a Jedi. You have to be born with it. Rey learned to mess with people's minds from watching Kylo attempt to do it to her. This was plainly obvious. She wildly flailed at someone who wasn't trying to kill her until he got her to finally open herself up to the force... which controls your actions and thus landed a hit. Once again on someone who wasn't trying to kill her or even really to beat her but rather to open her mind to the force so he could turn her. There's a lot to complain about in The Last Jedi. There's very little wrong with The Force Awakens and the powers of Rey are not among them. Star Wars is an admittedly pretty flawed movie series that was nonetheless entertaining - at least until these new ones arrived. Now plot and character development is just absent (and can't imagine it'll get better in 9). But Disney threw away the EU and the massive world building and rules. So anything is possible now. |

Quoted:
Rey in TFA isn't flawless either and loses to Kylo often. If Kylo had wanted to end her he could have done it at nearly any point. We see her learn... we see her try... and fail... and then try again and succeed. She has trust issues and is impatient. Your criticisms of the character are incorrect and blown way out of proportion. Then we have TLJ... which is largely a dumpster fire. The throne room fight was great though... and pretty much the only thing I liked in that movie. Had JJ directed TLJ we likely would have gotten better development of characters and expansion of the story seeds planted in TFA... JJ is good at that. He doesn't have a record of ending things well. so... I'm ambivalent about this next movie. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted: Perhaps. Perhaps not. If the good guys can have force ghosts pulling strings, why can't the Siths? What if it is true that Plagueis learned to bring people back from the dead and Sideous learned more about overcoming death? There are ways to do this that don't completely make Episodes 1-6 irrelevant. Don't misunderstand, TLJ was a disaster. But this new reveal has substantially increased my interest. View Quote |

Rogue One was a truly great movie. View Quote Everyone loves x-wing fights, but other than “rolling oranges”, the only redeeming thing about R1 was that it wasn’t the cinematic abortion that is the first two elements in the current trilogy. The payoff is one small scene of Vader doing Vader shit, which we’ve all wanted to see for 40 years... but 2 minutes of cool can’t cover for the fact that the rest is mediocrity (which, sadly, is a huge improvement). |

Maybe JJ Abrams is trying to re-engage core fans with Luke Skywalker to make his force ghost a big character, with the force ghost of the Emperor as the antagonist.
Face it: Gen X who grew up on this doesn't give two shits about Poe, Finn, or Rey-ry Sue. Darth Emo is the only one vaguely interesting. But if you bring Luke Skywalker back in, maybe even literally resurrect him from force ghost to living being via the knowledge of Darth Plageius, to train the next generation of Jedi, it explains the title and brings core Gen-X audience back to the theaters in droves. |
