What is it about space fantasy adventure movies that courts such literal minded fans?

I’m starting to think Warbler and Impscum are the same person, because neither understand how language works.

I find it highly suspicious that our resident trolls have come back at the exact same time, btw.

Am I in that group? I’ll challenge you to a dual.

Difference is you’re trolling for laughs, and it worked.

Yes that is the difference… because when you do it, it does not work.

This is wonderful.

That was unwatchable.

I’m glad we all agree.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Wondering if The Force Awakens would be even better if all those proper deleted scenes were finished and reinserted.
For me, Rogue One > The Force Awakens. I own neither.

For YouTube Channels, I do quite enjoy Mr. Sunday Movies and Oliver Harper contents.

i love the apologetic phrase that they “played safe”. they didnt play safe, they played plain stupid. how could they have thought that there is even someone who doesnt know the original trilogy so that he has to be introduced to the stuff everybody know? you have star wars references everywhere. and even if there is some hermit who doesnt know star wars, he wouldnt care about new stuff if he doesnt know the old one. if it was solid good, everyone would accept it…but first and foremost there are milions of fans who will not forgive you that you are showing them rebels running from the empire, death star blowing up another planet, trench run, droid with very important plans etc. all over again. i just cant comprehend that there are even people who defend this stupidity as “playing safe”

and i am really really sad that with all those spin-offs and animated series on the way i will most probably see rebels and empire beating their heads up to episode 9 all over again…

And many millions more liked the movie the way it is. If you argue with numbers, at least make sure the numbers actually support your point.

I like the part where every single person on the planet knows all the Star Wars.

take away all the callbacks, references, rip-offs, fan service, han&leia&luke&chewie&falcon, all the iconic designs and ideas they came up with in 1977…and tell me what will left of this movie?

Some people: WHY ARE ALL THE STAR WARS CHARACTERS IN A STAR WARS MOVIE?!?!?!!???
Other people; WHY WAS LUKE BARELY IN THE MOVIE!?!!???!!?

you somehow didnt get my point - that people seem to have pink glasses filled with nostalgia tears

so you liked the movie because of the characters? like marey sue? or hux’s cringy speech to apathetic stormtroopers. and can you tell me which part of snoke’s character did you like the most? and i dont blame you that you dont like maz kanata. i barely remember her too…did you also like the map to luke skywalker? why do you need a map for a space that is filled with 99,99% of vacuum anyway? with dotted line from one side of the galaxy to the other? what about just coordinates? or that it allegedly didnt match any known charted system while it was segment as big as third of the galaxy…does even anything make sense in this movie?

It seems to me that people with no nostalgia (ie: aren’t rabid fans of the OT) have no issues liking this movie. So I can’t accept your claims that it is only good because I am having my nostalgia pandered to.

There are at least four things wrong with this. Five if you count the lack of capitalization on “Mary Sue” twice.

i dont blame you that you dont like maz kanata.

I do, actually.

I’m pretty sure I have friends who had never seen any SW movies prior to TFA, knew next to nothing about the series, and quickly became fans after TFA.

I can personally attest to one such person. We dragged her to TFA and she loved it. She spent the next week watching the first six movies for the first time in her life. TFA is still her favorite (including Rogue One, to which she went in costume - as Mara Jade).
