I’ve already supplied my reasoning for my dislike of any spin offs of the OT. They are not star wars films. They fail to follow the iconography, the codes and conventions, the mis en scene and the mythological creation of the OT.

Basically you’re saying you don’t like anything that dares to be different, regardless of its actual quality.

Yep – that’s an OT chauvinist in the nutshell.

Quality? I’ve yet to see any.

Or you’ve yet to actually see the film.

Regardless of your gripes there has to be SOMETHING you can get out of TFA and be like “Okay they did good in this regard”. Even if it’s something like the set design or the sound design. Something dude.

Sadly I’ve seen it three times, I tried to like it, wanted to like it but sadly for me it got worse after every viewing. I can’t honestly think of anything positive about it…opening fanfare perhaps

At least that’s something…kind of. I’m actually surprised you could conjure up something. Hopefully you can find more things to like about the Sequels. If you actually watch them before forming an opinion.

EDIT:

I tried to like it, wanted to like it

We both know that’s not true.

Why wouldn’t it be true… I watched all trailers, avoided all the spoilers. I actually looked forward to seeing it as everyone said it was good. But I will not be going to the cinema to view any more I can definitely say that with conviction. I gave the pt another 2 chances… What a joke that was… It’s not happening a second time.

Because you exhibited willful ignorance, cognitive dissonance and you have made blatant statements that strongly suggest that you have preconceived notions about things before viewing them.

EDIT:

Also you use hyperbole as a crutch like Vader uses his suit like a crutch.

But I will not be going to the cinema to view any more I can definitely say that with conviction

Good, be miserable.

the only hyperbole in here is in the discourse surrounding TFA being a good film

Well this thread would be a lot more negative if most of the Anti TFA’s people’s arguments were sound. Don’t be mad because we can adequately defend our position.

Also seeing as how you put TFA on the same grounds as the PT I wouldn’t even use the word “hyperbole”

It is on the same ground as the PT…it’s a spin off

Rogue One is a spin off. The Force Awakens is a sequel. These are facts…not opinions.

Rogue One is just another Prequel (same continuity different story thread).
Hopefully it will great and spawn other vaguely connected prequels so fan editors can rename them and make them their personal canonical prequels if they wish.
As long as the story is new and the characters are as good as the one’s in TFA I’ll be happy.

Technically you’re right but they’re classifying it as a spinoff film so what can we say?

As long as the story is new and the characters are as good as the one’s in TFA I’ll be happy.

Also as long as it feels like it’s in the Star Wars universe and doesn’t clash with the OT in terms of continuity I’ll be fine with them…though I admit that the Han Solo film will be hard to sell to a guy like me.

Yes we’ll see more huge continuity fuck ups in Rogue one, if original X wings are shown then the PT will be even more ridiculous seeing as the prequel technology was more advanced than that in the OUT. Even more ridiculous than two seater tie fighters to serve narrative

I agree. Hopefully there isn’t a one seater T-47 speeder that serves the narrative in the next one or that’ll really have my blood boiling.

I couldn’t give a fuck what anyone thinks, the fact is there, a two seater tie fighter to transport two characters to serve the shitty narrative function (one of which is the only storm trooper ever to defect and be openly welcomed by the rebellion Star pilot who has spent his life killing storm troopers, suddenly decided to trust one). It’s contrived shite.

Or maybe because it’s been 30 years and technology is going to improve over time. It’s not that deep.

one of which is the only storm trooper ever to defect and be openly welcomed by the rebellion Star pilot who has spent his life killing storm troopers, suddenly decided to trust one

Given that there was no way to escape and the likihood of a Stromtrooper coming to rescue you (which is virtually nil) I would trust him. What choice would he have?

I have no idea what you insist on making this so easy for me but whatever…destroying your perspective gives me my confidence boost for the day.

Yes and you’ve tried your hardest to ‘cyberbully’ virtually every post made by any new users/users regarding their dislike of TFA or anything else for that matter you could mock be it a typo or anything else trivial, which epitomises what an actual troll is!

I don’t think Bosk is a troll. My money is on him being just an obnoxious dim-wit with no friends and no skills.
