[quote="Stuartmaximus"][quote="SlyTF1"]Why does everyone think that Darth Plagueis has anything to do with anything? He was killed years before any of the movies ever started.

Sly is right, I think it's been over a year since Andy Serkis confirmed he was playing Snoake via momo-cap, something Serkis is now legendary for.

Also I never said plagusis wasn't Canon just that all his abilities and back stories wasn't anymore and that he was said to be dead. I'm more concerned about how you seem to be convinced this is the case. I myself am leaning towards Snoake being completely new and that we'll find out his past in the next two episodes. Which is just as good as your theory at the moment

I will apologise if I've come across a bit antagonistic, as it wasn't my intent.

[quote="Stuartmaximus"][quote="Rodimus Prime"]And I saw the film again yesterday, and I must say I enjoyed it more the 2nd time. Once I got past the facts that [spoiler]Luke wasn't gonna show up and Finn and Ren were horrible characters[/spoiler] I could focus on the rest of the movie and it was actually pretty decent. Still doesn't rate high among the SW films for me, but it's better than my 1st impression.

I'm okay to leave them on until after the second weekend. Yes, there are people who haven't seen it yet, Va'al is one of them (but he's been smart and avoided the thread)

[quote="Stuartmaximus"]Lucas wasn't planning on any sequels....after Jedi

Lucas stated years ago that he intended three trilogies.

i'm sure i read or heard that a while ago! but clearly i stand corrected! although.........those never came to fruition!

but i'm sure i'm correct about the Han bit.

btw it's a bit strange that episode 8 is coming out during the year(May 26, 2017) which means it could come up against stiffer competition with whatever big blockbuster movies happen to be out around about that time(if any! & no! i don't have a list of what ones are out then). unlike TFA which hasn't much in the way of stiff competition with the Chipmunks movie & Sisters.

George Lucas once said in 2005 that Episode 7 would never happen - so it must all be a dream right ?

For me, so far it's

1. ESB
2. -3. tie: ANH; RoTJ
4. RoTS
5.-6. tie: TFA; AoTC
7. TPM

story wise. Action wise, IMO nothing beats the fights between Yoda and Palpatine, and Obi-Wan and Vader. The pod race and the final fight in TPM do come close, followed by Yoda vs. Dooku in AoTC.

I was amused - I was using the analogy of why Star Wars shouldn't be to campy by offering the example of : Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor as a bad example of that.

Then on a whim I looked up the reviews on Amazon - and found to my utter shock some people think that gosh awful mess is a top 5 Star Wars Novel !

And here was me thinking The Force Awakens was a little controversial - to think that Novel Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor is top 5 in quality is borderline insane to me.

The only way some might like it that I can rationalize if if they really buy into the novel's conceit. But that isn't the only issue and it doesn't change that the villain feels like one taken out of an old Cinema serials of the 1950's (but in a bad way - not even in a gentle parody way like Captain Proton on Star Trek Voyager does).

----

Anyway as to the level of Enjoyment after one viewing (I may watch it again shortly) :

Top to bottom :

1) Empire
2) Star Wars
3) Revenge of the Sith
4) Return of the Jedi
5) The Force Awakens
6) The Phantom Menace
7) The Clone Wars Movie
8 ) Attack of the Clones
9) The Ewok Movies - (they are so bad they almost make the Holiday Special look good).

More Youtubers should do vids on the Ewok Movies - they need a good kicking and they rarely get one.
