The more I think about it the more annoyed I get that The prequels are as bad as they are.
After seeing Episode 7 I realize how much better they should have been. Episodes I,II, & III are such a waste. With that said I'm going to watch the Phatom Menace right now. I haven't seen it all the way through in about 10 years. |

Episode VII definitely wipes away the big shit stain that are the prequels.
I found the script was still clunky at times, though; I don't know if that was a homage to the past films as well. lol |

I don't understand all the hate for the prequels. Sure the 2nd was terrible but it's not like they were awful movies. 3rd movie was hot.

I don't know. I mean... what would having Lando in the movie really add? It would be the equivalent of some over-the-hill wrestler from the 90s making their shitty Rumble appearance for a quick pop. Seems unnecessary.

Forgot about old man at beginning. Can't even picture the scene/him. Too much else.

Did Max Von Sydow play anyone in the original trilogy? Even if it was unnamed?

While I've enjoyed the Star Wars series, I've never been a massive fanboy who knows everything religiously. I've only seen 2 and 3 once and can barely remember anything about them (and judging from general consensus, they were poor).
That said...this movie fucking ruled. Loved pretty much all of it. Occasional spottiness in the script but not enough to ruin anything for me. Was so worth it seeing it in IMAX 3D as well. |

I'm probably one of the only people who enjoyed all three of the prequel movies.
Sure, they're nothing compared to the original trilogy, but they're still great films. Even Episode 1. The CGI certainly hasn't aged well, though, but a lot of the battles, and especially the lightsaber ones, are amazing to watch. |

I left feeling very meh.
The story felt very small. I dont know how else to explain that statement. There wasnt an overall grandness to what was happening to me. I had all the nostalgic feels at first, but they went away as the movie progressed. There seemed to be no consequence at anything that happened, and really big shit did happen, but you didnt feel good or bad about it. SPOILER: show I liked how they did the villain. He was young and struggling with his powers. Not some killing machine like Vader. The tantrums were actually a nice touch. But he seemed like a complete sociopath. SPOILER: show The main characters were done well and acted well, but I dont feel like I know them. SPOILER: show Starkiller base was real cool, but SPOILER: show The movie was almost the exact cut and paste plot as ep IV. |

I was a little disappointed that there were no really good standout tracks on the ost. Don't get me wrong, it was by no means bad, but if there's one thing the prequels did really great it was the soundtracks. So many good tracks, but in this movie nothing really stood out, besides maybe the song that plays during the final scene, but that's only like 2 minutes.

Liked this song
But it is a "subtle" song.... not one that you would really go around "humming".... |

That was another one I was going to mention but even then, they don't hit me like some of the prequel tracks do.

Thinking back on it, yeah, the prequels really did have a lot of quality tracks and songs. I guess maybe JJ wanted to just play the whole thing more "down low" or whatever....

Just got back from watching the movie. Definitely a great flick. Felt like a Star Wars movie from start to finish.
That said I also really like almost all of the new characters. They all held their own, especially Po. Even BB wasn't as awful (though I still hate his design). Had the "big twist"/ending ruined for me by an asshole family member on Facebook though. When they said it I assumed they were kidding cause it just seemed so crazy, but as soon as the pieces fell into place I was like "that fucking bitch!" Still enjoyed it all though. JJ definitely surprised the hell out of me. I didn't expect this to be this good and it certainly was the best Star Wars related thing I've seen/played/whatever in ages. |

Yeah, I enjoyed Clone Wars. Rebels has been even better in my opinion. Love the characters and their interactions in it. Sorta reminds me of Knights of the Old Republic for some reason.

If you don't mind the quality being a little "meh" there's a site I watch it on that I'd be happy to rep you with. The episodes are usually 480 to 720 so they're not terrible by any means, and they've got all of them plus pretty much any other cartoon you can think of from the last 10 years or so.

Reavant makes alot of great points, tbh.
Also, maybe I missed it, but is the Order different from the Empire? Thought they said it was but they use all the same stuff. |
