Here's the thing, the movie is filled with flaws, inconsistencies, things not properly thought through to conclusion, etc. But in the end, it was

still just really fun and satisfying. I'm not sure all the in depth analysis is going to be great for the film. This is one where I think I'm more going to just accept it for how much enjoyment it gave me.

Responses:

Agreed...for it's flaws, it works in a way that hasn't been done since RotJ spoilers - Mel Profit Dec 21, 13:00 5
- Storytelling spoils - TWuGbacca Dec 21, 13:12 4
  - I agree. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 21, 13:20
  - I agree. It comes from a place of respect. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 21, 13:17
  - I don't think (spoils) - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 13:16
  - Agreed. Plus, see my reply to Diva below. -- nm* - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 13:14
This is what I've harped on with JJ. He's great for a one-off. But he can't sustain long-term. - ML Dec 21, 12:50 2
- I don't see that as a risk so much here. I think the bigger risk (spoils) - pmb Dec 21, 12:56 1
  - i have far more faith in Rian Johnson to nail the next one -- nm - humbug Dec 21, 12:58
honestly, there was only one big thing that jumped out at me as bad in the whole movie.... spoilers - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 12:49 8
- at sort of the same point... - Landie Calrissian Dec 21, 13:16
- no worse than (spoilers) - Kilbowl full of jelly Dec 21, 12:51 6

    - This is it exactly. 4-6 and 7 are exploring Campbell's Hero's Journey. There's a storytelling language that goes with that. -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 21, 13:08
    - Your IM is why I think JJ was a good fit for Star Wars. (spoils) - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 13:05
    - *ULTIMATE DING* -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 12:58
  - I can write a part of that off spoilers - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 12:53
  - almost like spoilers - ML Dec 21, 12:53
that's where i come out on it, for the most part - humbug Dec 21, 12:49 17
- I would venture to guess that is where the next one would go. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 12:50
- Dude, let it unfold. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 12:50 15
  - . . . said no one ever leaving Star Wars in '77 - humbug Dec 21, 12:53 14
    - As was said here, no way did Lucas know for sure there would be another movie. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 12:58
    - But said everyone leaving The Empire Strikes Back which most people see as the best of the series. There was no certainty there would be a sequel - pmb Dec 21, 12:58 11
      - there was in Lucas's mind - humbug Dec 21, 12:59 10
        
        you just can't compare this to what Lucas did in 77, it is really apples and oranges. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:00 9
        
        either you're trying to make the best possible movie you can at the time or you just say "eh, good enough for Disney" - humbug Dec 21, 13:02 7
        
        You can post that with a straight face? - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 13:08
        
        and I do not even totally disagree with some of your critiques of it. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:08
        
        it is different when you know you have 3 movies to make, or if you would like to make 3, but have to get buy in on 1 first. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:05 4
        
        Yep. Every Star Wars fan now expects Star Wars movies from now until long after they are dead. - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 13:11
        
        Respectfully, I disagree -- nm - humbug Dec 21, 13:08 2
        
        every trilogy ever made leaves questions unanswered. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:11 1
        
        Clearly, we need to read one of pixie's trilogies. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 13:16
        
        Of course it is apples and oranges to pixie. The Holy Trilogy is good, everything else is bad. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 13:01
    - sure, because at the time it was a huge gamble that anyone would go see it - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 12:54
I for one am shocked that a bunch of nerds would over-analyze Star Wars. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 12:47 1
