I don't even know what the original plot of SW is...

Just like an old cowboy movie. The good guys fight the bad guys, and the good guys win.

LOL! Thanks for the recap! I saw the first 3 as a teen, skipped the middle 3 on purpose, did not care. Thought it would be fun to see the original oldies but will give this movie a pass too!

Best Star Wars themed commercial ever, IMHO:

The Smart Glasses look seems to work for her, but she was wearing them long before that State Department Blonde and Perry picked up on it.

She and Stossel are my favorite Libertarians.

That’s fine....I’m gonna wait for the cheapest DVD at Walmart if I’m still alive by then.

The libraries where I am have DVDs.

Either she likes it or she doesn’t. I don’t really care either way. But she’s definitely swimming against the current on this one. Anybody who spends 6+ paragraphs telling me about how much they don’t care about something as ephemeral as a movie tells me that they actually hate that thing. She shoulda taken advice from the late Freddie Mercury when he said “I don’t like Star Wars”. Clear, concise- okay we get it, back to our daily lives.

it wasn’t even that dramatic a way, either, kind of expecting it at that scene, but, was a surprise, I expected it to be quite spectacular, heart throbbing, eye watering...

nah...but, sad...

no, but they crash it several times in the snow, the sand, and the trees, but no damage for some reason

I won’t be going either. The local movie hub is a gun free zone. I ain’t going to some stinking theater where I will be a sitting duck. With huge crowds like this gathering around the nation, these are perfect, PERFECT targets of mostly unarmed people with even small children that can be murdered. Hopefully security in these places will be tight and prevent the AK47 toting muslim thugs will be kept out.

Probably due to the caring Politicians in the Imperial Senate passing all those Spaceship Safety Laws.

Airbags, 5 MPH Bumpers, backup cameras, ABS, traction control...

I won’t be going to see it.

My kids have a scheduled Star Wars Marathon to watch all the old ones on Monday.

Here’s the kicker. My son has been hospitalized for the last three days. We’re trying to schedule his release around the marathon.

Schedule as of now. He gets final treatment Sunday morning. I pick him and my wife up. We drive 12 hours to Grandma’s house in time for 9am marathon start.

Do anything for the kids I guess.

I can honestly say I've never seen a Star Wars movie. Including the 1977 original, and I was 15 years old that year, the prime target demographic.

For a while, it was one of those movies I always figured I'd get around to watching but never did. Of course, it would probably make no sense seeing all those sequels and prequels having never seen the original movie, so I never saw those as well.

There is something that scares me about Star Wars. I see all these otherwise normal people acting like complete nerds when it comes to Star Wars. They wear the funny helmets and run around saying things like "May The Force Be With You" and "Help Me Obee-Wan Kenobee".

I don't want to be like these people. I really don't.

Furthering that notion, in my vast Christmas music collection is a little ditty called What Can You Get A Wookie For Christmas (If He Already Has A Comb). This song has to be heard to be believed so click on the link if you dare. Now do you understand why I don't want to be like those Star Wars people?

Did not read as soon as she said she is not a fan of “fantasy”.

Should I take my lobster recommendations from someone who is not a fan of seafood?

Should I take my reading recommendations from someone who doesn’t read books?

I really don’t give a s____ what someone thinks about something they are not a fan of. Talk about useless & worthless. She is just trying to be sensational and I’m not biting.

"Lol.. So there is someone bedsides myself who isn’t a Star Wars ... Whatever they call themselves. Well that’s two people."

You can make that count 3, thank you very much

Ruined a franchise? Lucas did that all by himself with the utterly abysmal prequel movies.
