There have always been only three Star Wars movies, and that is all there ever will be.
Hollywood is really capable of making good movies that take you to another place any longer.
Occasionally they do make a good one as in the case with American Sniper.
But for the most part everything sucks. The odds of them making another good Stars Wars movie at this time or any other time in the future is just about 0.00%
I waited in line to see "The Phantom Menace", too. Not 6 hours, but an evening.
Waiting in line was more fun than the movie, of course, the movie set a low, low bar to step over. But beforehand, all of the nerds showed up, and nerd-ed out. Costumes. Lightsaber fights. The works. The people-watching was fun.
Don't need to do it again, though. One time was enough. I'll wait a couple of weeks before going to this one.
Someone on the news this AM called it "Star Wars VII: The Forced Apology" (for the prequels)
I don't really care about the "diversity" stars White-hating JJ Abrams forced on us.
I may be swimming upstream here, but the 3 prequels improved as they went along, and the last, with the fall of the republic and How Darth Vader Got That Way, was pretty good in a dark way.
Ogod, I laughed so hard at Triumph’s takedowns!
I find it interesting you posted one of very few (relatively) reviews that are not glowing overall for this film.
Have a look at Rotten Tomatoes and you’ll see that the reviewers opinion is in the overwhelming minority. Getting a %95 overall critic rating on that site is exceptional.
Hello no, not me! I aint goin! I am going to sit at home in my underwear and watch reruns of Obama press conferences. Or who knows, maybe watch a 72 hour marathon of Oprah. Yeah, thats it, yeah.......
Yes, it is true about JJ Abrams being a racist who despises white men.
People only need to do a simple Google search to see his utter contempt for white males. He even dropped an F bomb to make his point.
Pretty disgusting and vile little man.
I posted the Variety review for two reasons.
1) Variety has been around a long time, and is well respected in the biz.
2) It also fit very neatly into the 300 word posting limit.
And yet it got an initial score of 97% “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes.

How did you get a picture of me?
I attended the very first screening of the Godfather in Hollywood, at the Egyptian if memory serves on Hollywood Blvd. in LA, the 11:00 a.m. showing, with no waiting at all—we walked right in. When we emerged, we were astonished to see that the line stretched two blocks, comprising not only the next showing at 3:00 but also the following one at 7:00. Did we ever laugh.
During the latest Star Wars movie, do not be surprised during the opening crawl that you see STAR TREK RULES!!!!

Nice try but that is getting old, lay off it and man up, no offense.
First thing that came to mind reading your comment...
I was debating adding some comment with it, but then decided none was necessary.
They should have gotten Levar Burton.
