Thank god we have at least one non-TFA thread that isn’t polluted by “TFA sucks” talk.

What?

Ah well.

I think it was pretty obvious he meant in terms of quality…

See that little ‘/s’ at the end? Care to take a wild guess as to what that could ever possibly mean?

What, a man builds a giant mound of dirt in his house and you aren’t entertained?

Get used to it because regardless of how VIII and IX turn out naysayers will just shit on TFA instead of talking about the new films and what they bring to the table. It’ll be a convenient excuse to shoo away any argument that VIII or IX are good films. We could talk about how deep the plot is, how well written the characters are or even Rian’s directing prowess but that doesn’t matter to these people apparently.

Fear not, I look forward to tearing it to bits. 😉 I am that sure it will be shit. Tfa bashing is relevant as it is the film before this…

Well if you tear it to bits make sure it’s mostly because of TLJ’s faults and not entirely because of TFA’s 😉

If it turns out great: they’ll find literally anything to bitch and moan about it
If it turns out shit: nothing but confirmation bias for all eternity

I just don’t understand how some can live life in such an all-encompassing state of hatred and misery for something as petty as a bunch of movies

How do you follow tfa…with great difficulty. I wonder if this installment will make tfa look a better film as aotc did with tpm.

Well to be fair, at least TPM had fairly competent cinematography and the practical effects were decent. AotC didn’t make TPM look better in comparison, it just made itself look even shittier by failing all the only positive aspects from it’s predecessor.

Opinions aside it seems as though Rian is crafting an interesting and out there story with layered characters who will be tested immensely. Regardless of how you feel about TFA from what Rian has said about the film it is clear he is trying his damnedest to give us a good film. Plus JJ and Kasdan didn’t write VIII’s script so take solace in that at least.

That is impossible when you have a trilogy and you are forced to continue the crap established by previous instalment. TFA is currently sewers. EP8 may climb out of the sewers but the starting point will be sewers. If EP8 takes the effort to climb out the sewers, at least EP9 will have a decent starting point. Nevertheless, it will still smell.

I have higher aspirations. I’m probably going to get a new PC and hopefully one life changing experience this holiday season.

Didn’t even need to pry further as you indirectly answered my last question. That’s just how good I am 😉

If it starts off smelling it ends up stinking!
