What didn't you like about TFA? <em>SPOILERS</em>

The Starkiller Base superweapon. I don’t know how they managed to screw it up so badly. It shows up out of thin air while Hux talks about it as if everyone knows what it is, destroys the capital of a government that we don’t have any reason to care about, and then gets destroyed. It feels like Starkiller was spliced in from another film.

I felt the same way about it looking like two different story lines spliced together. From the crawl and introduction of BB-8 the story pointed to being about getting to Luke. Starkiller just seemed like an afterthought or a decision by committee.

As Obi-Wan is holding on for his life, Darth Maul towers above him and says, “Give it up Obi-Wan, I have the high ground!” Shia LeBouf appears behind Maul and screams, “Just Do It!!”

Then when Darth Maul is cut by Obi-Wan, the red mist sprays all over the camera in uncontrollable spurts. As Maul falls over and down the shaft, we see him split in two, then his arms fall off and his head rolls down the abyss.

My first inkling that something was wrong was winter of 1977. Everyone at my elementary school was dreaming of getting some sweet Star Wars toys. Instead, we spent $9.99 for a mail-away certificate, and months of waiting for some action figures. It was pretty cruel, getting us kids all excited for the toys, and then not having the toys available right away.

Which toy was it that you ordered? I remember ordering the Boba Fett with the spring action rocket and then finally, after 6-8 weeks of waiting, which is an eternity for a kid, finally getting it and the damn thing wasnt as advertised! Supposedly, “it was a choking hazard” and they discontinued it!! I got the stupid non-functioning version.

It was the 4-figure pack: Luke, Leia, Chewie and R2. Luke’s stow-away lightsaber was bent after a couple of play fights.

What Didn't You Like About ROTS?

There were parts of the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin duel that did not impress. Visually it would have looked better if Anakin’s saber was either red or green.

And when they are standing close to one another and both just twirling their swords around each other very quickly.

Also, when Anakin is stuck on that huge machinery that’s going over the lava falls, and he does a Tarzan rope swing to safety.
