Will enough people change their Force Awakens vote to Last Jedi or do you think most people around here will say Force Awakens is the better film?

We can only hope that people realize that their love for THE FORCE AWAKENS is mostly tied to being happy to see a STAR WARS movie again. I wasn't a fan to begin with, but it got significantly worse the second and third time I saw it.

REVENGE OF THE SITH gets better with age. How many modern studio blockbusters out there are full blown tragedies? DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, maybe?

Isn’t it a little arrogant to assume you know why other people like something?

I think I will revisit The Force Awakens shortly. And Maybe Rogue One. Now that I'm over the newness I'm hoping I can genuinely just get invested in SW again. For Luke's sake.

The vast majority of reviews with that new film had either "sure there's problems but IT'S STAR WARS!!!" or some story about their first memories of seeing the original trilogy. Perhaps it's a bit arrogant to be so declarative, but to say that nostalgia for the series didn't play a huge role in the praise for that film at all would be equally as arrogant, especially since that film weaponizes intertextuality so much throughout it.

I think these films will see an entire new wave of criticism once the dust settles more.

Maybe people enjoy The Force Awakens because it's a fun and thrilling film with likable characters and a good sense of pacing directed by someone who has made a solid career out of capturing that feeling in his films. I went into the film highly skeptical and loved it. I went into The Last Jedi ready to love it and find myself having a lot of problems that make me dread rewatching it.

I'm so over Star Wars. I went a decade not watching any of the films again until The Force Awakens was about to come out. I wanted to see it because I like JJ Abrams and likewise, I wanted to see The Last Jedi because I liked Rian Johnson. It's the talent that got me excited, not the franchise. I have so little interest in Solo and Rogue One was supremely boring to me.
