If so many people are enjoying it why is it getting such poor reviews? 53% on rotten tomatoes, the lowest of ANY of the Star Wars films. The issue is, which I keep saying, that regardless of what you say, it is established in the universe that training to be a force user takes years...

Luke trained for THREE YEARS between a New Hope and Empire. That’s establish as canon through the EU. As for the time he spent training with Yoda, it is unclear. It is at least fair to assume it’s a few days to a week. As for ‘the force’ that Anakin used to win the pod race was reflexes and...

t Fair enough but she can still perform better at tasks than should be possible given the amount of training or experience. Which IS partly the definition of a Mary Sue. The fact she is female is utterly irrelevant. I never mentioned her gender so to imply it is because she is female that I...

Fair points. I don’t think Kylo has the presence or the intimidation factor to be ‘the big bad guy’ though. It took Vader three films to be defeated. Kylo was bested in the very first. For all his faults though, I still maintain Kylo is highly trained (I believe Snoke references it in TFA re the...

It’s well established in the universe that training to become a Jedi takes years, which is why they start so young. Rey seems to be able to use the force in ways only seen previously through years of training. She’s a Mary Sue, as they say,

Which makes the way Ren killed Snoke even more ridiculous than it was already. Snoke is more powerful than both of them combined and killing him off the way they did is one of my many issues with the film. I also don’t buy the whole ‘but Rey wasn’t trying in TFA’. What, so he’s going to let this...

It’s well established that Luke is a good pilot (Biggs tells Red leader as such before the attack on the Death Star). And he’s not the best pilot at that time, Wedge is. Luke is only referred to as one of the best pilots post New Hope in the EU. And the comparison going from staff to fighting...

Rose was utterly useless. Her subplot with Finn was nothing more than filler to try and make Finn seem useful. I’ll find fault with the film because the narrative and the writing is poor, there are so many continuity errors it hurts and the characters are poor. Oh and us ‘nerds’ took issue with...

Her going resulted in the death of the Snoke, the most powerful force user of the galaxy. As we know she can already kick Kylo’s ass he’s not exactly that much of a threat. When Luke was overconfident in Empire and Anakin in Attack if The Clones, they were both easily defeated and left scarred...

That is one example that disproves your point. I could also talk about the obvious development of Han and Leia if you’d like? Even Lando has more character development than Rey in the half an hour he’s in Empire.

The difference is Rey does it with no training whatsoever. Luke only uses the force after some, and I use the term loosely, training with Obi Wan Kenobi. Even though it’s minimal, Obi-Wan still teaches him about the force and how it can be used meaning the only bit of the force Luke even touches...

No character development in Empire? ??? Really? So Luke didn’t learn from his over confidence at going to face Vader, which left him battered and disfigured? His failure at the hands of his own hubris was HUGE character development. It was development because he was ALLOWED to fail, something...

Remove being an orphan living on a sandy planet, doesn’t start out like Luke in the slightest. Luke had to train for everything he would later become. Rey just seems to be good at everything she does (piloting and fixing the Falcon, using a lightsaber with no training, using the force with no...

I know it’s all opinions... but how was it better than Rogue One let alone any of originals? ???

You’d think so. I’ll add that to the list of plot holes. Not quite dropping bombs in space but...

That seemed to be the hint, yes.

It’s not so much bringing the new characters to the forefront of the story it’s the fact that it has been done so at the expense of the characters people have loved since 1977, and probably the reason half the audience went to see this film. Chewie, RD and 3PO barely feature and what they’ve...
