if Starwars was a foot race, you would have two NFL wide receivers, a hobby Marathon Runner, three cerebral palsy victims with polio legs, and the force awakens would be a 40 year old smoker who works in a cube.
In other words clearly not the loser, but also clearly nothing to be proud of.
There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
I liked the original trilogy, never saw any of the others.
Han Solo died like a pussy.
The Nerd Crew are pretty entertaining. My son has made me watch a few of their videos. As far as Star Wars goes, I like the first three and, with the exception of the actor who played Anakin, I liked The Clone Wars. I thought the rest were pretty dumb. I'm not sure I can take watching poor Carrie Fisher (RIP) try to talk again. She had so much work done to her face, she was barely recognizable.
now here's a trilogy...

I’ve seen them all except the latest, even going back and watched in chronological order
Saw it last night with the Mrs. We both really liked it. It's likely to spur debate and many won't like it, but it was fun and pure escapism. Exactly what the doctor ordered. They did leave some major questions unanswered though.

Leia isn't a jedi - she's an untrained force sensitive. She didn't just survive the vaccuum of space. She survived a massive explosion that killed everyone else completely unscathed, and then she used her untrained force abilities to fly through space. It was the perfect moment to kill her off, which was basically necessary given the passing of Carrie Fisher, but they gave her superman level abilities to survive something that has killed jedi in canon. Like Jedi Master Plo Koon in Revenge of the Sith got his ship blown up - not in space - and was of course killed. So we have a completely untrained force sensitive surviving something way more miraculously than a Jedi Master LUL. I guess now this new trilogy has two Mary Sues
I personally hated a lot of the movie mainly for what they did with these characters: (no spoilers other than mentioning names)
Luke
Leia
Snoke
That purple haired woman and Poe

By Julia Alexander Dec 18, 2017,
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is one of the top-rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes, according to critics, but scroll down the movie’s page a little further and audience testimonies tell a different story.
There’s a gaping disparage between what critics thought of the movie (certified fresh) and the feeling a majority of moviegoers walked away from the theater harnessing. How could a movie so universally applauded by critics not have the same resounding effect on general moviegoers?
It’s hard to discern whether reviews of the movie are genuine or, as some outlets have reported, generated by bots or organized attacks from 4chan. One Facebook group, “Down With Disney's Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys,” which aligns itself as a pro-DCEU community, announced on Facebook that it had generated trolls to help review bomb The Last Jedi’s score on Rotten Tomatoes. (Review bombing is when a horde of negative reviews with low ratings are left on an entities page in protest.) The page defines itself by its anti-Marvel and anti-Disney stance as a pro-DCEU fan page.
“Thanks to friends of mine who taught me a thing or two about Bot Accounts, I used them to create this audience score through Facebook accounts created that subsequently logged into Rotten Tomatoes who rigged this score and still keep it dropping,” the post reads.
Questions about 4chan’s influence on the score have also been raised, but a thread on 4chan’s infamous politically incorrect forum, /pol/, has a number of site users claiming that 4chan wasn’t involved. Some 4chan users suggested it was a /pol/ attack because the audience rating is sitting at 56 percent, which could allude to a 2015 meme that /pol/ participants in Europe and the United States used. The term “56” has become notable among 4chan for a keyword used during organized attacks; when the score for The Last Jedi hovered at 56 percent, people thought it was a sign that 4chan was behind the review bomb.
One /pol/user noted that, “even if /pol/ could muster up 10,000 people, which would be like 2-3 times the amount for popular strawpolls posted more than once, it wouldn't be enough to change it to 56% and be able to keep it there.” This sentiment was echoed on the thread, with many /pol/ members claiming they wish it had been an organized attack, but downplaying any involvement in it.
Some of those comments have been screencapped and can be read below.
