Chat corner 96: The Force Awakens

[annathecrow]

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

Today is movie time: the topic is the first of the Sequel Trilogy movie, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. If you’ve been here last time we’ve talked about it, do you have any new thoughts? If not, what do you think about it?

By the way, the movie premiered in December 2015, which means it’s now over 7 years old. It’s been a while! Have you seen it in the cinema? What was it like?

Saw it twice in theaters. Really enjoyed it, even though it had some obvious flaws at the time. Less fond of it now because I know that the potential storylines I thought they were building were merely... place holders. Interesting ideas that no one had taken the time to plan out.

I liked hating Kylo Ren because he made my little niece cry when he killed Han Solo. HOW DARE HE MAKE MY NIECE CRY?! (I wouldn't have taken her to see it at that young age, but it wasn't my call to make.)

Very much agree with this - I liked it a LOT the first time I saw it, was super hyped leaving the theater, bought it on disc when it came out... and like it less now based on what came after. It's still the one of that trio I like the most, though, and the only one I'd probably rewatch if the urge hit.
