We’ll have to wait for that until the films come out cause I doubt they’ll make an official statement saying “VIII and IX will not be a soft remake of V and VI” but I wish they’d say that though. Implying VIII and IX are at least mostly original of course.
Some of the leaks I’ve seen for 8 (verified ones, not weird fanficiton ‘script leaks’) have given me high hopes for it, so I’m actually eagerly awaiting the film.
Who exactly verified these leaks? I’ve stayed clear of them but to my knowledge none of them have been confirmed by anyone.
Part of my disdain for TFA is definitely due to my expectations. They weren’t fulfilled and I felt a bit cheated waiting 10 years for something that I felt was way too similar for my liking.
Ironically enough I expected TFA to be a 7/10 affair. Pretty good but nothing special. Boy were me expectations exceeded.
I have plenty of friends who love TFA and I don’t mind at all; I’m honestly glad so many people like it, I just personally can’t do it myself.
I’m glad that you’re not one of those people who hate TFA and feel a compulsion to tear others down and name call because someone has a different opinion then yours. Any type of deviation from that type of narcissism is good to have.
