I've had to come to the realization that Star Wars worked the best in the time it was made in. The year before Star Wars, for example, the big scifi movie was "Logans Run" CE3K is contemporary but is not really in the same genre. Logans Run had interesting looking but totally fake effects, and not a ton of imagination. It dealt with gloom and doom like most scifi of the 70s, because that's what movies had morphed into after the demise of things like musicals. Damnation Alley, Boy and his Dog, Silent Running....all bummers.

Star Wars succeeded because it turned all that on it's ear and was not afraid to be stirring, and clear delineations between good and bad guys existed. The visual part of the story was given more emphasis than the plot and it worked because people had never seen something like that before. We loved it because as kids we really needed it.

Now we have Bummer Luke, The Jedi Who Went Nuts For A Second, and everything is bad.

You can compare it - a little - to ESB, in that we are leaving our heroes on a cliffhanger, but its a crap cliffhanger - oh my the rebellion is in danger! BIG DEAL, they FROZE HAN! We are supposed to care about this Resistance but they just killed off Luke. And they killed Han. And now Leia is going to have to bite it somehow. They made Poe an idiot and put him with a character crafted out of a Disney computer, and accomplished nothing for almost half a movie.

Holy cow the more I think about TLJ the more I dislike it.

Now we don't have the context of what JJ is going to bring, and I am an optimist - I thought he did a good job with TFA although Luke or Leia should have been with Han at the end (I expected him to die from the moment it was announced he was in the movie). Hans reveal, the Falcons reveal, the gangster fight, the flight through the wreck of the Destroyer...lots of great scenes. That we have to deal with yet ANOTHER death star thing sucked though.

So I will be there opening night for TROS, in large part because I can't wait to see what the title means.

PS Super 8 is the best Abrams movie fight me

Yeah and now D&D will fug up star wars even more now... I swear we can't have anything nice anymore.
