Few people seem to love their creations, their masterpieces and the stories they've created like George Lucas does. It's clear in his reaction to TFA that he still takes a great deal of pride in the Universe he is responsible for creating, his own fault for selling Lucasfilm though. It's a...

OH man... Raiders of the Lost Ark.. from the creative mind of George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg. Those two were a match made in heaven. And music by John Williams. Sigh....

OMG.. Lol.

On this we do agree. A tribute to Abram's direction and Lucas'... lack thereof. I still contend Lucas is a far better storyteller.

I can respect that.. I still tear up every time I see Wrath of Khan when Spock dies.

Agreed. I'm very excited after this summer's Jurassic World to see what Trevorrow can do with Star Wars.

It was great fun for me I know that. I'm still not completely convinced Chris Pratt is a legitimate leading man, but he ended up surprising me in Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy. I wasn't ever that impressed with him when I watched Everwood faithfully which he starred in on the WB...

Hmm.. my wife looked at me when we went to see Avatar about halfway through and asked me how long the run-time was as she was trying to figure out if she had time to leave, and get to whatever place she needed to go shopping and be back in time to pick me up before it was over. Little did she...

I know.. it makes me wonder what is wrong with me. I'm sure it's me, but I just can't help how I feel about it.

Ahem... so has Michael Bay... ;) And NOBODY.. I mean NOBODY is going to confuse Michael Bay with Spielberg. And hey.. I really enjoyed both Transformers and Bad Boys. I'd rather watch either of those again over Spielberg's Hook or War of the Worlds again. But I still am not going to...

I understand. My wife says I analyze stuff too much. But it's the way I am sometimes. And while I like Star Wars, I love my Star Trek. And I truthfully was able to wrap my arms around Into Darkness, though the mega ship that was much more powerful then the Enterprise was kind of silly IMO...

Yes it was.. but with Into Darkness it was at least mildly acceptable. Simply because it was, again, a re-telling about the same people in the same timeline in an "alternate universe". That's how the Trek re-boot was sold to us. So it's not at all unheard of that the Federation's best (Kirk...

They do? Based on what?

Do you defend Michael Bay with such vigor as well? Lol. Just needling you a bit there. I am, and we all are entitled to our opinions on this. That's what a place like this forum is for. Abrams has been disappointing to me, and I stand by my assertion that I wish Trek and Star Wars at this...

A re-make it was. The movie, on it's own might have been just fine. But for people who love Trek, as I do, if you're going to so blatantly rip off a prior movie in the series, please do at least as good of a job as the original (and it wasn't, not even close). And then to choose to rip off the...

Absolutely, I understand that. I always set myself up for this kind of disappointment. I did it with Cameron's Avatar, Singer's Superman Returns, etc. I have watched the reboot of Star Trek, and now this film, and do wonder to myself what somebody like Joss Whedon could have done with both...

In addition. Abrams told us from the beginning that this was a re-boot... of a story told about the same characters over the same timeline we've seen before with some differences based on prior events, the destruction of Vulcan for example. It's not only likely, it's actually a necessity that...

I disagree with you there. This was a completely stupid film. Though I disagree with the author's notion it was Harry Potter in space. Some of the later Harry Potter movies really tug at your heart strings, make you care about the characters. Severus Snape is one of the more complex characters...

Great point. Darth Vader died.. as Anakin Skywalker. Return of the Jedi wasn't a great movie in particular, but man it was the ultimate story of redemption. I really kind of hated the movie until I had a child of my own. My loathing of the Ewoks is only dwarfed in Star Wars culture for my...

I put it fifth behind Empire, A New Hope, Revenge of the Sith, and Return of the Jedi. If I had to rank them. I actually quite enjoyed Revenge of the Sith. Certainly the first of the prequels that I did enjoy. This one I did enjoy, but I feel it's at the bottom of the Star Wars movies I'd be...
