The Force Awakens? Sorry, but Star Wars has sucked for 40 overrated, overhyped, preposterous years
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 20, 2015 | Piers Morgan

Posted on 10/21/2015 8:59:38 AM PDT by C19fan

Last night, a very strange thing happened. I was lying in my Los Angeles bed when the earth moved in a way I haven’t experienced since a large quake knocked me onto the floor five years ago. Only this time not literally, more virtually. I was the unwitting victim of a televisual, cyberspace phenomenon; the single most exciting thing many Americans appeared to have witnessed since the lunar landing in 1969.

I don't like Piers Morgan.

He's Course And Rough And Irrating.

And He Gets Everywhere.

Just Like Sand.

And Prequel Dialog.

The dumbing down of America and for that matter the world in general continues unabated.

Only 30 years. Up until ROTJ, it was awesome. Then they made the ewok movies, the prequels, etc.

It’s harmless escapism. Apparently Morgan has a problem with that.

I loved Star Wars(basically based on the Japanese movie—The Hidden Fortress) and especially the Empire Strikes Back but after those two, those movies , George Lucas destroyed the series especially with the stupid Ewoks, casting of Anikan SkyWalker in the second trilogy and the horrendous dialogue that crippled some of the well casted actors in the second trilogy—Ewan Mcgregor, Natalie Portman etc...

I don't know where all this whiny ass Star Wars hating comes from. Although, Piers is an arse.

It's high space opera and is damned entertaining. Which is my only requirement for a movie; Is it entertaining?

If you can't stand watching it without nit-picking it to death then simply don't watch it.

Jar Jar sux.
Who shot first?
Droids can't do that.
Luke's speeder is physically impossible.
Light sabers can't/can/never would...blah, blah, blah.

Sheesh.

I don't like SW at all but what a poorly written article.

The critics, when it was released, agreed. ‘What’s stunning about it is simply how bad it is,’ wrote Salon’s Charles Taylor.

I didn't know Salon existed back in 1977.

Piers Morgan: “Star Wars sucks.”

The rest of humankind: “Piers Morgan sucks.”

He hates the franchise because it’s a long-running space opera modeled after Westerns. The good guys eventually defeat the bad guys, even when some of the good guys become bad guys. Plus lots of weapons, explosions, and dead bodies, which are too much for the Brit Twit’s delicate constitution.

Imagine something that sucked that bad making over $27 billion in ticket sales, DVDs, games, toys, books, and related merchandising. How much could it have made if the movies were good? </sarcasm>

What a dullard. If Piers had lived 10,000 years ago, he would have been angry at the people telling stories around the fire.

If Morgan had lived 10,000 years ago, he would have been run out of the clan and stoned to death.
