Seeing this in a little over an hour. Hopefully the perspective portrayed here doesn't ruin the experience. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, I just hope it's not Justice League level of drivel.

Refresh me. It's been a while, and not something specific I had thought about...in a long time.

Of course. The whole disassociation between Anakin and Vader clouded my memory. Thanks for the reminder.

This is my biggest gripe with the movie. While I enjoyed the movie, it really doesn't fit in the saga. It's a standalone. It doesn't progress anything. We're still in the same position we were before the movie.

Thank you for proving my point about how forgettable everything was, because you're not even remotely close. The Hosnian system was the capital of the New Republic and wasn't affiliated with the Resistance at all, beyond the First Order's belief that the New Republic had been secretly supporting the Resistance.

People saying shit was super forgetable after 1 watching is stupid. I have watched the original trilogy at least 30+ times and I still forget some names and shit, but TFA after 2-3 you begin to remember minor shit like the hosnian system, Paige was rose's sister, crait was the planet, d'qar was the rebel home world they escape from bla blah

Yeah, that's where I got it from for sure.
I'm just saying, I knew the name of even the most obscure characters because of the toys and not necessarily the role they played in the movie. Most of them were never even named during the movies.
10 Background Star Wars Characters With Ridiculously Convoluted Back Stories
I'm just not sure that knowing or not knowing all the details is because TLJ was a bad movie or the characters weren't developed, or because after 40 years we know EVERYTHING about the original trilogy.
I'm not even sure what I'm arguing anymore LOL!

I'll admit - - I've never been a huge Star Wars fan. I respect its place in culture, blah blah blah, the originals were enjoyable enough, even the one from a couple years back was okay. I've not seen all the ones in the middle. I fell asleep during the last 30 minutes of last year's offering.
A friend asked me to watch this, so we went out to see it.
What a steaming pile of dogshit. I hated everything from intergalactic Margaret Cho to intergalactic Monaco to intergalactic Benicio DelToro, Laura Dern's ridiculous fucking character, the cringeworthy one liners, the cutsey animals. Some of Mark Hamill's lines came off horribly. You're not made to give a shit about any of the characters.
Even my feminist, liberal friend I went with said they went overboard with the number of women they threw in and were being too over the top and pandering. Then you had intergalactic Margaret Cho and her small tirade against the rich people in intergalactic Monaco.
Fuck you movie, fuck you director. I couldn't wait to get out of the theater. Saw it in 3D and DBOX (the moving seats.) I thought even the 3D effects and the DBOX sucked on this, not that DBOX is ever that amazing. I recall really liking the 3D work on the 2015 one.
If you rate this movie anything higher than 6/10, you have to be a gigantic nerd and completely out of touch with what makes a movie good. There's subjectivity, but there's a limit.

I really liked it, but it had problems. Maybe 6/10. Only because the Finn/Rose stuff was just dumb. I get what they are trying to do, show the plucky upstarts don't know what the fuck they are doing and trying to just cowboy everything rather than working as a team. There was probably a better way to do it, though. All the stuff with Luke was great, and Rey, and Snoke, and Kylo. I can't believe any of you guys buy that shit about her parents for a second. They may as well have subtitled it "KYLO MISDIRECTS THE AUDIENCE IN PREPARATION FOR EPISODE 9". Carrie Poppins was... not ideal. I feel like there was a better way to show her using the force subconsciously to save herself or something. Without the Finn/Rose stuff I'd put it at 8 or 9/10 easily. Great fucking movie.

Well, at least I don’t care if they even bothered making an episode 9 now. It woulda been a pain in the ass waiting two years for the next movie if there was any part of me that still gave the slightest fuck about Star Wars after this movie.
For a Minute there in Snoke’s throne room, when Rey and Kylo teamed up I thought they might be able to save it from the clutches of feces!....Nope!... of course not! After that tiny sliver of hope he goes right back to an even stupider, less realistic, sjw idiot-caricature of “evil white male trump voter” than he was in TFA.
Poe is trash, Fin is sub-trash, healthy-at-any-size chinese girl is sub-sub-trash. They finished destroying and killing off all the original characters. They should name episode 9 “good riddance” and just kill everyone off, the end.

LOL, just looking at this box and I can remember Han, Luke and Leia in Hoth Gear from the toys:
I even remember that stupid medical droid (FX-7). All those little plastic probes at the bottom could be popped out to rez Luke and friends.
I thought the Hoth Rebel Trooper was a badass because his rifle had a sling. This shit is engrained my friends.
No way that came from one viewing LOL!

Yeah, they revealed that at the end, that Admiral Purplehair had a plan, Leia, appointed her for a reason, and Poe and team trying to Han-Solo-it-up were just making things worse. But, again, I feel that whole thing was just handled poorly.
I imagine in some writer's head there's a version of this movie where instead of that bullshit the rebels are just trapped and the tension continues to build as their options are cut off and Huxley boxes them in. Instead it's like a trip to the island from Pinnochio in the middle of the most important wartime operation in the history of the rebellion.
That's the problem. It seems like a movie written by committee. No single vision, the director I actually give credit to, if he had no real say in the script it was a great execution of what he must have been given
