Agreed. In the end . . . its just a movie.

Kcj211, yeah! You tell them babies what waste of living life they are

I have a feeling you're just as horrible as the ones you kick

I certainly don't think they ruined the whole series, but they may have damaged the OT as a cultural institutional. I don't like guilt by association and think it's unfair, but many people do it. The Star Wars films have had a huge impact on the culture over the last 40 years (much of it good, but not all of it), and I don't have a problem with people having strong opinions about it, but as you say, let's keep things in perspective. No one should be obsessing over it like a religion, or using their dislike of the current crop of films, or the prequels, or even Return of the Jedi, to justify vile personal attacks on people associated with the films. If you don't like it, state your reasons politely and move on.

I disagree. They're not just movies. They're 40 years of George Lucas' legacy. His life's work. His art. Something we all enjoyed.

When he sold his company to Disney and named Kennedy as president, he said he trusted her with his treatments for the upcoming sequel trilogy and 100s of books and resources for future movies. She said that she would protect the characters and they would collaborate together for future films. He's still a creative consultant.

Instead, 40 years of EU work was tossed in the garbage, he was kicked to the side, his characters killed off and hacks were hired to destroy the stories which in turn has destroyed the merchandising, marketability of the films and fandom.

Lucas has no power. Hamill and Trevorrow fought and failed. Only the fans are left to fight for Star Wars.

Lucas gave the fans 40 years worth of entertainment! I think of this fight to restore Star Wars to what it had been as a huge thank you to Mr. George Lucas.

I don't see much 'crying' going on, seriously.

I see a lot of criticising happening, what's wrong with that? The 'new' movies have indeed damaged the franchise for core fans - It is perfectly fine to feel this way.

Now I do agree that creating accounts to downvote something is a waste of time. Kind of like frog's alt accounts too.

>> "How are you losers okay with having such worthless lives that you actually take the time to do that? "

Kjc211, are you by any chance posting these comments from the deck of your catamaran? Are you surrounded by beautiful bikini clad women giggling incessantly at the internet beat downs you're distributing to all these 'losers'? Or are you just a hypocritical twat?

If Alex Guinness was still around he'd think you were a grade A fuckwit (well, he always was an excellent judge of character).

I agree , it is sad to see people create groups on facebook such as down with disneys treatment of star wars etc , ill admit i was really dissapointed in TLJ but i aint going to blow a gasket and rate it 0 out of 10, i actually rated it 5 out of 10.

Id rather have star wars film than none at all , i enjoyed TFA, RO, and Solo, i think the problem is that there is a politically angenda thats being pushed down our throats and use Star wars as a platform to do this, they should just naturally write the stories as they see them and not , we must have a female lead, he must be black, she must be asian , we must change the story to accomdadate more women, and they need to think about the release dates, 2 a year or even 1 a year is just to much , every 3 years is enough to wet the appetite for more star wars movies.

Sooooo....kjc211 is Rian Johnson, right?
