"Luke wouldn't act like that!" ... Yeah, cause Yoda didn't get batshit crazy at all in his 30 years on Dagobah. #nerdsemantics #whyamIevenarguingaboutthisitsobvious

And I honestly think that's not only the most dangerous thinking in the universe, it was never, ever what Star Wars was about.

Letting go of your childhood heroes is literally the act of growing up. These fans are asking to be kept in a state of suspended childhood forever.

But why do it with star wars? I don't think that's what Lucas intended for the saga.

Yes, it's a space opera with touches of childhood serials, but he outright meant it as a condemnation of american imperalism (vietnam) and implored characters to break open common tropes into modernism (leia) etc. This was always star wars.

And while we're talking about "what lucas intended" check out his not so subtle diss of TFA for being fan service bullshit. There's mistakes, surely, but the series you want to be indulgent never was, or should have been.

Maybe it's just that I wanted so much to have a final cool lightsaber duel with Luke. And to know more about Snoke and the knights of Ren .

Consider that a movie that delivers exactly what you want and expect is vastly less interesting than a movie that surprises you by delivering things you never imagined

I actually like the twists and bold new direction that the saga took. Just a couple of things that I felt were missing .

Genuine advice: just because you want something doesn't mean it's missing. In fact, the very definition of a character arc is to go from what you want to understanding what you need.
