As I stated in my original post, I meant no disrespect to anyone, I thought I was pretty clear right out of the gate. I wasn’t calling anyone out. I still won’t. I went in to the movie expecting nothing but a Star Wars adventure with characters I love and I got it.
If that’s condescending in any way then apparently I know nothing about Star Wars and don’t deserve to be a member here.
The drama isn’t necessary.
Your opinion of the film and your having enjoyed it aren’t condescending at all. This is:
It is only now, after reading remarks in this thread, that I see how overly critical some of the fans are. I mean no disrespect to anyone and I will not point out any 1 person, it just seems that some can’t enjoy a movie for what it is
You and I have different opinions about what makes for a good movie, but I don’t think this makes you less discerning or lacking in taste, just like my preferences don’t make me overly critical or unable to enjoy a good movie.
I suspect that my use of the number 1, instead of the word one, may have caused some confusion. My statement was not directed at you in particular or anyone else in particular for that matter. This is the first new Star Wars movie with original characters in it for almost 30 years. I’m used to the criticisms of the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy being most prominent here. I guess I figured that due to the age of the actors, the director, the film-making style, and the long wait that most fans would at least be less inclined to be a bit harder to satisfy considering there are still 2 films to go where anything could happen.
There was no drama intended in the statement you pointed out … I was merely referring to the fact that most all of us are here for the same reason, our love of Star Wars itself, differences in opinion aside.
I hope you are able to give it another chance. It’s as imperfect as any Star Wars movie before it but it is a fun ride considering it’s simple start.
