Plenty of people who liked the film could also agree it had Ep IV nostalgia. Most people can also admit this was done on purpose to show the fans that the new owners understood how to make a Star Wars movie feel like Star Wars. They also did a good job introducing the new chars in the movie.
Now if VIII follows as close to EP V I'll have an issue
There wasn't a franchise to ruin. There wasn't a Ghostbusters movie for 27 years prior to this one.
. Especially if you can't decide if the crazy person in question is genuine about their feelings, just looking to stir up trouble, trying to be the biggest loudest voice in the room, or in some cases, could be a studio plant trying to divide the fan base.
Good question in your spoiler tag , always wondered that.just trying to point out that there are crazy responses EVERYWHERE. It's not just on Facebook anymore. it's spread to every corner of the internet, and one can't escape them these days. that thread was just a good example of how crazy things could get ;o).
the best one can do, is either ignore if you feel a confrontation coming, or agree to disagree and try to keep your good humor about you. it's about the only defense mechansim one has these days sometimes
Anyway, back on topic to the spoilers. you're all also forgetting something
what was that big explosion the emperor encountered at the b ottom of the shaft? maybe the lightsaber hit something similair? I know the retcon was that it was 'the force exploding' as the emporer died.. but it WAS a reactor shaft......could the saber even survive that?
Its funny that you bring this up, and I dont mean to offend anyone or anything, but do you think he might be autistic? Im going through something similar with a friend of mine who we have been friends for over 20 years, and he is kind of the same way about things. He took an autism test, and he got 45 out of 50 as being on the autism spectrum. Cause no offense, but that seems REALLY weird and awkward, something someone with aspergers might do. He doesnt understand how society or people work in some regards. Just something to think about. But after reading post #3794, it seemed even more so.
Is Fury Road not part of the franchise because it was made how ever many years past the last one? I guess Im confused on whats considered a franchise, IP, and what not. Cause with Ghostbusters 2016, that effectively killed 2 franchises with one stone.
Again, arguably - those that ruined the "potential" franchise could be looked at those that were a part of the campaign against the movie (again, most of which were prior to it even being released). Again, reviews were mostly positive - I didn't see it, I'm not sure if I would've even seen it if it were Ghostbusters III starring Murray and Aykroyd (and it's documented that Murray wasn't into it - but, he did say nice things about this one).
