I'm completely indifferent to Star Wars and didn't have any plans on seeing TLJ in theaters but the mixed reception amongst certain fans intrigues me. This definitely feels like an Iron Man 3 situation and I happen to really like Iron Man 3.

There is a definitely an "expectations" situation going on here.

I liked Iron Man 3 as well. :) Not sure what was so bad about it.

I liked TFA just fine but it felt safe. I don't know what this controversy is about but I'm glad they apparently did something unexpected.

If it means I have to act like them....then I'm damn happy to not be a true fan.

I haven't been a true fan since I watched STAR WARS: EPISODE IV (this was before they added A NEW HOPE to the title) 20 some times at the theater back in 1977. Yep....I hated the franchise.

:woot:

I really like the perspective this place can put all these fandoms in. The spectrum.

I thought the twist was hilarious, enhanced even more by the football reference. But equally I would have loved to see a badass Mandarin (and Kingsley looked the part) who would have been a very different type of villain for Stark to face. It would have been great if we could have got 2 versions of that film.

Yeah, certain people keep trying to compare it to BvS, when it's basically Star Wars' own version of IM3 (Which I also loved, even though I still wish for a "real" Mandarin) I am SO happy I stayed unspoiled. Also, ANH was the first movie my dad saw in theaters and he loved TLJ. He'll be so bummed to find out he's not a REAL fan. :whatever:
 
That last one would be me, too. :p
 
It's morbid, but I've found the one advantage to kidney failure is I don't have to get up for the bathroom during movies anymore.

Today I was the bottom one too, lol. Luckily I'd already watched it in full so I mad-dashed when I knew I could.
 
I was offerd free Star Wars tickets today and I didn't take it. Shows you how much I care about this franchise.:awesome:

From whom? and how dastardly was he/she?
 
Fallen Angel is actually a Starcrash fan.
 
When does Starcrash get a prequel trilogy?
