I’m praying for no prequel references. That’s all. I honestly don’t care about anything else.
I think I’m going to judge the film on how good it is, rather than if there’s a random comment about Geonosis.
This. TFA had no PT references and it sucked. On the other hand, R1 had PT references and it was good.
After Finn’s defection, one of the New Order guys was touting how clone troops would be better.
There are a few minor references which are negligible compared to references in R1.
I count two in each film, and at least half of those barely count as references.
TFA:
• “…balance in the force”
• “…clone army”R1
• Castle Vader happens to probably be on Mustafar
• Bail Organa existsBoth movies’ PT references are very minor.
Bail existed in the OT, he was just never named on screen. (I knew his name as a kid thanks to the novelization and the Marvel comic.) The important fact is Jimmy Smits reprised the role.
