PROVEN FALSE!
I get what you're saying though, but honestly, the small percentage of TFA haters seem to also coincidentally be PT and/or EU lovers... which tells me all I need to know.

I'm a fan who wasn't fussed about it, don't like the PT either and have no idea about the EU.
I not sure what age demographic this was a hit for with the younger generation, but my lad has never asked for me to put this film on. Now if it were a video game that might be a bit different - from what I can tell not many kids are bothered about movies nowadays.

I just watched TFA with my six year old the other day. He likes it, but there's just so much content available nowadays, I don't think kids make the same connections with things.

Not that anyone would care for my opinion, but why the hell would they hire Trank, Trevorrow, and to some extent Lord-Miller if they knew of the supposed behavior on set in previous films? This article is hearsay and even finds a way to somehow make Spielberg look slightly bad.
There's something wrong there when LFL can chew up and spit out careers. These directors careers are ruined by the way. Again, this is just me, and I don't expect anyone to agree with me.

I don't agree nor disagree with you... I just couldn't give a frak. There are more important things in life to get worked up about.

Maybe you shouldn't have taken the time out of it to reply then.

NO... nothing against you or your post PantheraGem. Like you pointed out, I don't expect everyone (anyone) to agree with me. We all have our opinions
Lord and Miller jumped right into other projects... being fired from Disney won't do anything to most of these directors - Like Edgar Wright parting ways on Ant Man didn't hurt him.
L and M's track record is awesome... and Lucasfilm made a huge mistake letting them go.
Who wants FUN in a Star Wars film?

Paul Feig should direct.
Melissa McCarthy will play the role of Kylo Ren.
Leslie Jones will play Finn.
Kristen Wiig can be Rey.
Rebel Wilson as Luke.
And Kate McKinnon can be Poe.
Trank and Treverrow shot themselves in the foot. Bot were hired, then exhibited behavior issues on other films, and it came back to haunt them. Trank's movie was outright cancelled after word spread of his behavior on FF. Colin was hired after Jurassic World, but before Book of Henry.
I can't imagine the feeling of having a Star Wars movie, than having it taken away, but we'll never know the full story.

Did I just harsh your gig? I've never seen you so serious...
Just try to imagine it - like an SNL skit. It's pretty funny.
Chris Hemsworth can be Jar Jar Binks or 3PO.

Problem is you don't know what the issue really was. Just what the rest of know that it was essentially 'difference of opinion'.
Maybe they were doing things at the level of fart jokes all over the place (and frankly, the one from TPM was more than enough for SW) and general slapstick level whereas the home office wanted more level headed humor and not as much? You flat out cannot say that's not possible. Similarly, i can't say without a doubt LFL could have been wrong to do it, but I do trust them to know what SW is more than L and M.
