Annoying entitled Millennials are the problem here.

This movie was good, it entertained me.

I read comments here such as “the original trilogy doesn’t count anymore” or “Disney have ruined this and ruined that”

This comes from the pussy-assed entitled,righteous millennial generation; most of whom used money to watch this movie from a student loan, for some worthless degree they are going through the motions to get, and will never actually use, in the real world.

This movie isn’t a reboot. There is a level of homages, but that’s good. See, we want nostalgia, we want a nod to the past, but we don’t need the entire thing to be wrapped up in one 90 minute sitting. We are happy for several movies, that aren’t running in sequential order. Like Rogue One. And when I say “we” I mean the generation who grew up as kids in the 1980s.

Yes, Star Wars and everything in the universe conected😉 belongs to the kid generation of the 1980s. The 40 something’s of today. That’s who Disney want onside. That’s who Disney target, and, we are happy just to have more Star Wars movies.

No entitlement, no demands, no throwing the toys out of the pram. Just a happy bunch that can’t wait for the next enstallment.

So millennials, do shut the fcuk up and go watch your stupid X Men movies.

This thing doesn’t belong to you. It’s ours. So suck it up.

That's my generation. I hated TFA and TLJ and so did most of my friends. None of them went to see Solo ($100 million loser) in the theater.

You're in a tiny minority, as The Force Awakens is the highest-grossing film of all time with positive scores from critics and audiences alike on every platform. Star Wars came out on my 7th birthday, and was a huge deal to everyone of my generation, and me and most of MY friends loved The Force Awakens, and Solo as well. Both were fantastic additions to a franchise that had been left for dead after three shitty prequels.

[–] TaRaNRoD (1579) 5 years ago

I know many people (including me) from his generation who hated it. TFA was pretty much a rip-off of A New Hope.

[–] AmeriGirl26 (12299) 5 years ago

Yeah, so what? Tons of people went to see "The Phantom Menace" when it came out in theaters, and people were nuts about it for several years after it came out. It took less than 5 years (maybe not even that) for them to start whining about what was wrong with it. I have no doubt TFA will get the same treatment, it's only a matter of time. So box office numbers don't really matter in the long run.

[–] TheUltimateHippo (2250) 5 years ago

You actually liked this movie???

[–] TheCaretaker237 (68) 5 years ago

Yeah. I did.

People expect too much, and they are usually the ones who complain about every movie.

I get that some 40 year olds won’t like it. But if you asked those people and all the others haters to come up with a better script, they couldn’t. And do you know what; if Hollywood listened to those people then Star Wars would never have been made.

In the end you like what you like, but why all the negativity?

Live and let live.

I like this movie.

--- ---- ---- --- ----
Because some of us, generally speaking, cannot stand millennials. Thats why the negativity. "I dont; like this, and I dont' like, that". Go F yourselves.
But, 40 yrs old is a millennial? Then what are the even more annoying 20-30 yrs olds called?

[–] TheCaretaker237 (68) 5 years ago

I’m confused at your response.

I was talking about the negativity aimed towards The Force Awakens.

I’m not waving the flag for millennials, just read my original post.

I just mentioned that some 40 year olds also won’t like the movie. I don’t consider them to be millennials.

For me a millennial is someone born around or entering young adulthood post 2000.

For the record, I appreciate that some millennials do also love this movie.

But many hate it, and yet they love episodes 1 to 3 which were George Lucas sell out, A list celebrity garbage.

I was speaking in general, TheCaretaker, nothing against what you said in your post. But I was sincere when I asked what the age-range is

[–] furiousstyles (4359) 5 years ago

I liked it aswell , as did pretty much all my buddies who grew up on the OT

[–] GotWood84 (384) 5 years ago

I was born in the 80s, grew up with Star Wars just as much as you did and I'm not in my 40s. Your a doosh and this movie and TLJ both sucked.

[–] TheCaretaker237 (68) 5 years ago

If you grew up in the 80s then why do you have the grammar of a child in 2018?

You’re (not your) the doosh-a-laka.

And if you were (not was) born in the 80s then somebody must have dropped you on your mellon head.

TFA was a bad movie in general but more importantly a terrible Star Wars film and an absolutely atrocious "sequel" to ROTJ that completely undermines what was accomplished in it. Unlike many others I wasn't still clinging to hope after witnessing Jar Jar Abram's corporate packed Di$ney reboot that "somehow" everything would be salvaged and make sense in the sequels moving forward so when TLJ was released to the disappointment of many I was completely unfazed as I knew immediately that the ST didn't stand a chance following the disaster that was TFA. Nobody was going to salvage that mess.

That's why I can't be bothered focusing my hate at TLJ as TFA laid the shoddy groundwork for almost everything wrong with it. It was forced to reap what was sown by a poorly written, disjointed, $200 million dollar fanfiction, clusterf*ck of a soft reboot posing itself off as a sequel .

[–] TheCaretaker237 (68) 5 years ago

It wasn’t a sequal to ROTJ though was it.

See this is the problem; people expect everything to be wrapped up in sequential order with a 90 minute sequal. When it isn’t, people kick off.

You got Rouge One. That sits between ROTJ and TFA. Who’s to say we won’t get more movies that sit between the two timelines.

Enjoy the movies for what they are and don’t be so eager for completion. And quit with the 200 million cost analysis. This isn’t Shark Tank/ Dragons Den. Who cares what it cost. It’s irrelevant. You didn’t pay for it. Did the ticket cost anymore than a movie that cost half of that amount to make? No.

At times you would think that some people would prefer for no more Star Wars movies to be made. Well that’s fine, here’s the fix, don’t watch anymore Star Wars movies when they come out. Problem solved.

[–] Threadkiller (2952) 5 years ago

Well as it has been stated it functions more of a soft reboot but nonetheless it whether we like it or not Di$ney indeed chose to officially position it as a direct sequel to the previous six Star Wars films dubbed Episode VII while Rogue One is a standalone spin off which is why it actually functions better as it's own film.

I'd prefer good Star Wars films but I'd much rather no Star Wars films than the crap Di$ney has shat forth with this embarrassment of a ST.

It was a sequel]/b] to ROTJ. RoTJ is Episode 6 and THA was Episode 7. They are connected story wise. Star Wars is a collection of trilogies that tell a story. The first trilogy shows Anakin's rise an fall along with the fall of the republic. The second trilogy shows Luke's rise, Anakin's redemption and the resurrection of the republic.

The third trilogy is not connected. It is more of a retelling of the 2nd Trilogy.

Would it make sense to you if you were reading a book and chapter 7 was basically a rewrite of chapter 4? That is how I saw The Force Awakens. It starts off with a spy giving plans of a planet killer to a droid. It ends with the planet killer being destroyed. The story is the same : The good guys get plans for a planet killer and they have to use those plans to defeat the planet killer.

Would it make sense to you if you were reading a book and chapter 8 was basically a rewrite of chapter 5? The Last Jedi has a lot in common with Empire. It starts out with the good guys trying to get off of a planet that is surrounded by the bad guys. It has a story line of a force sensitive person going to a far away planet to train. That force sensitive person then leaves that training to go to where the bad guy is with the hope of turning him good.

[b]Rogue One was set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. It gave the answer to a question that was not really important. I personally was disappointed by it as I was expecting, based on the information available at the time, a story that was not involved in the trilogies.

[–] FilmBuff (6691) 5 years ago

The Force Awakens was a remarkably good film, and as good as any in the Star Wars franchise. That you and few outliers dislike it is fine, as you're entitled to your opinion, but your failure to appreciate an objectively great film demonstrates small-mindeness on your part. Most of the films detractors, possibly yourself included, dislike it not for reasons of quality but of politics. They've been told by someone else that the film presents a skewed message of "social justice," and as such it should be scorned. Meanwhile audiences and critics overwhelmingly loved the film, and it sits atop the list of highest-grossing films of all time by a comfortable margin.

[–] Threadkiller (2952) 5 years ago

LOL! I haven't seen shilling this hard since this turd was first released. I can't even tell if it's serious or not. The reasons this Di$ney fanfiction film that was thrown together by a corporate committee was a total dumpster fire has little or nothing to do with anything "SJW" related & almost everything to do with its "objectively" bad storytelling.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Reminds me of all of those 'positive' product reviews on aliexpress, classic shilling :D.

They should do infomercials ... the real question he is "Is it machine washable?".

[–] janelsenor (2042) 5 years ago

I liked it.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Preach brother!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The millennials loved this movie. Most people over 40 hated it.

[–] Frogarama (12942) 5 years ago

That's got the typical stink of a made-up-on-the-spot stat.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

So find statistics and prove me wrong, Froggie.

[–] Frogarama (12942) 5 years ago

You're a bit off on your generational outline. Millenials' age range would be post-college to nearly-40 in 2018.

Yes, the bottom of that range would dip into college age in 2015, but you imply they're all college-age.

[–] TheCaretaker237 (68) 5 years ago

To me a Millennial is someone born or entering young adulthood on or post 2000.

That’s who I had in mind when referencing millennials.

Apparently it goes back as far as 1982, which sounds ridiculous.
