Honestly I think Hamill puts it in a much better way than any of us could.
Did you read through the comments in that video? Seems like every comment they are hating what Disney has done to Star Wars and hate what they did with Luke Skywalker. Even read some comments saying they think the prequels are better than the new Star Wars Disney movies.
I really think in 5-10 years you will see the level of hate of these Disney Star Wars movies like what happened with the prequels.
Internet commenters (especially Yahoo & YouTube) are the dregs of society right now. YouTube is part of my job (I help brands) and it doesn’t matter what type of content is put out, people will find a reason to crap all over it.
I feel the opposite for the ST. I think people will grow to like it even more. I disliked TPM after the crawl and I never recovered from it. I even got to see it in advance as my parents’ neighbor worked for Kenner. I was 21 at the time.
TFA and TLJ did not come close to this for me and it’s all because I truly care about the characters and not just Luke/Han/Leia. I understand this is all personal and subjective, but I don’t see these movies ever reaching prequel levels of hatred.
The new stuff may not get to prequel level hate later on. But we’ll find out in the future. The one advantage of the new movies is they have a lot better CGI than the prequels. So the prequels CGI looks really dated and I know one complaint people have on the prequels is the dated CGI and the crappy “green screen” backgrounds that weren’t done that well compared to today. Though the new Star Wars has some crappy CGI like Maz Kanata and that meat ball monster thing chasing Han Solo.
I still think it would have been better this new trilogy to not have the original main characters in it. I didn’t like the idea at first as Carry didn’t look good or seem like she could act good now, and she didn’t. But I warmed up to it expecting a badass Luke Skywalker kicking ass, but we really didn’t get any of that.
I’ve watched TPM probably 10+ times and I still don’t know what that movie is about.
