Why is Kylo telliing her shes a nobody accepted as the truth by some? He lies to her all the time, why is this not one more?
She may have parents that were nobodies in Star Wars but, because Kylo told her while he was trying to manipulate her, seems to me anyway, that it should be taken with a grain of salt.

I don't like it that much from a story-telling perspective because it makes the Jedi/Sith stuff moot, but I get it. |

What is the difference between grown men arguing over a film/art/book and a football game?

Is this really the hill you want to die on?

I'm fairly certain I won't die on this hill. You seem to see film discussion as childish. I am confused since we all discuss football, a game played by adults, why you would be surprised by adults discussing a film franchise that they are passionate about.

I don't even know what to tell you dude. Let's hit a star wars bar and figure it out over a drink.

I saw someone say "well this will be liberating for Abrams because now people will go into Episode 9 with the understanding that their expectations are irrelevant...."
Well, no. See, I'm just....not gonna go into Episode 9. Because 7 and 8 didn't exactly make me give a large rat's ass about Finn or Rey. And Poe is just fun as hell but if he gets blown up, it's not like there's been a chance to really develop emotional resonance there. Ultimately I'm not sure I have any kind of give a damn about any of these characters at this point. So sure, I'm going to be less beholden to my own expectations but only because I don't really give a damn what happens in this universe at this point. It's just another movie now. Congrats, Rian. You've created another sci-fi universe that I don't really care about. Might as well call it Avatar 2 or The Sixth Element. I'm not gonna go rallying up family members and buying reserved seats and all that shit again. I'll just wait for an HBO free preview weekend in about 36 months and see if my then 7 year old has any interest in watching it.

People were using Batman V Superman Box office to defend the movie too.
50% on RT should be a nice big red flag to Disney that they may have damaged the brand. I've never not been excited for a new SW movie before ever after Clone wars I had hope. TLJ was just an unfun boring slog of a movie. |

This trilogy is a pale excuse for Disney merchandising. There's no resonance with the characters. About the only new character that's even halfway interesting, IMO, is Maz Kanata, who was underused in both films. You're right: Episode IX is just another movie in a sea of movies. |
