That was the start of the babyfication of Star Wars. Hated every one of the subsequent movies so I'm not holding out much hope for this one. I did think that Rogue One was excellent.

I've also hated pretty much every one of the new breed of Trek movies too. As soon as the original cast was replaced by the Next Generation crew, the franchise went downhill fast. The newest ones are so ridiculous it's painful to watch them.

I thought it was good, a few cheesy moments but all in all quite enjoyable. I like it much better than "The Force Awakens" - but then again, I thought that "The Attack of the Clones" was the best one out of the prequel trilogy

What was your favorite part? The lack of a single lightsaber duel? All the questions created in EP7 simply not explained and made to not even mater? How about the discovery of a super weapon that can take out TNO’s super ship in 2 seconds that is installed on every Star Wars ship (minus tie fighters) but no one ever used it because of “reasons?” How about super Leia using the force and saving herself only why letting the entire resistance leadership die?

I was so disappointed

-Any jedi from the prequels could have wasted the entire room that the lightsabre fight took place in(all the bad guys wearing red), including the 2 main characters in that fight. Yoda, Luke, or Anikin, or Obi, Darth Maul could take out Kylo Ren or Rey in about 2 seconds.
- Why didn't the rebellion figure out long ago to take a X-wing or small craft like that, and hyperdrive into star destroyers to obliterate them? E=MC squared.
It's out of character for Yoda to burn things like that.
Force or not, being unprotected and exposed to a complete vacuum like that and for that long...that didn't hurt as much to watch- like the flying part did.
When was "A Long Time Ago, In ...Umm never mind, nerd session over.
Franchise has lost the edge...disappointed in both episodes- 7 and 8. Movies are probably fine...I just expected too much.
I like the idea of a 'R' rated episode directed by Quentin Tarantino.

New star wars episode 9 trailer.
How much would you pay to have a time machine to go stop Disney from taking over the franchise BEFORE they had a chance to hack something so sacred?
What is the thing in the ocean in the last scene of the trailer ? Looks like blown up and wrecked part of the first D Star.
Should have a poll as to what was the best out of all 9 movies. Even though no one has seen episode 9...I'll still put a bet that episode 5 Empire would win.
