*Hopes no one throws shade at her because she likes the new movies and Rey as a character*
I get a lot of crap for liking the movies. I sometimes get the feeling people are talking to me like I'm some idiot because I like them. I love Rey as a character. Is she perfect, no she has glaring flaws but I find more to like than not. Do I think certain things could have been done better? Absolutely. They aren't perfect but I like the new trilogy for what it is, and I will point out the things I don't like, and even admit that Rey is somewhat of a Mary Sue. However I never seem to get there, because people don't allow me to. They just tell me I'm not a real fan, or that I don't know what know what I'm talking about, or just call me names. (Not to be that girl, but I'm certain being a woman doesn't help.)
It's exhausting, so I don't talk about it except with a few people I know agree, or don't but aren't pricks about it.
I hate the new movies * leaves it at that* but I like Rey. She is a good role model for young girls, Sassy, powerful, with a bit of snark and not willing to give into any one of sacrifice what she believes in or how she feels. Like I mentioned before as long as everyone respects each other I have no issues with who likes what.

I don't have problems with the new characters. I have problems with plot holes and lack of character motivation. I can't stand wedging known characters into actions and roles that they don't fit. There's what the new films are trying to be, and then there's how utterly short they fall. I'm critiquing the films, not fans.

Selfish passion is unquenching. What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions? What power without strength of character? To self centered rage, you will be chained. The dark side is no victory.
The long path to peace is through balanced emotions. The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance. Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction. Find harmony by understanding chaos. Become one with the force, which will never die.

I wasn't a fan of Rey until TLJ. And in that same vein grew to appreciate Kylo as well.

One of the reasons I have pretty much stopped discussing SW as of late. I hate TLJ with all my little black heart and when I hear someone say they love it...well... its not pretty. But, I know and respect that people have differing opinions...so I just save everyone the trouble and try to avoid it as much as possible.

Nearly a year ago, I attempted swapping the damaged blade on an Ultimate FX. After much work, I succeeded... in snapping the wires as I went to put it together. I left it in parts as I've considered whether or not I'm up to soldering it back together. I nearly fell to the dark side the first/last time I soldered. Today, I gave it another attempt. After successfully soldering the orange wire, I found the other end had snapped from the "try me" button without my even noticing. Having no knowledge of where it was attached previously hidden from view, I guessed at where it should go. I put the batteries in place and fired it up. It worked. Slowly reassembling all the screws which I could not remember what size goes where, I finished with one...extra screw? Searching underneath the batteries, I found the matching hole. I now have a working, potentially duel worthy Darth Maul Ultimate FX with a white blade. Yes, it's just a toy, but it was a previously damaged collectible now improved.
Congrats and good job OWK! Point Everyone knows I dislike the new movies, surprise, surprise. I mostly agree with what OWK said... now I'm going to follow Tepes lead and shut up before I end up ranting at Logos for an extended period of time.

Maybe I missed out on this on another thread but glad it has been brought up. I watched TLJ in the movie theater (by myself) and kept looking around as if to see if anyone was as disturbed by what was going on as me but no, everyone around me was into it and laughing. Felt like I had entered the twilight zone. Went home complained to anybody that would listen to me. Went online saw some similar reactions to mine and felt somewhat sane again but also saw some people say it gets better the second time. So rented and watched blu ray with the parents, it was funny to see them react similarly to me, hear my 78 yr old dad bemoan what they had done to the Luke character and rant on how the original trilogies were better than anything since. Listened to my 81 yr old mom, complain about Rey's origin, Snoke's death, and how ridiculous the Rose and Finn side story was. And thought yep these are my parents no doubt about it and beamed with pride.

I didn't LOVE the new movie... but I certainly LIKED it and enjoyed it. I didn't really care for the Rose and Finn story line, but I did enjoy Kylo's and Rey's. Luke's was kinda meh, I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. Just like TFA I giggled at the joke, they were cute. Speaking of cute, Poe Damoran was cuter the second time around. And BB-8 is just too adorable not to love, like a little mechanical, rolling puppy.

Seriously, no shirt please. And sweet dreams."

Well, 1) I didn't know you wanted one, and 2) the site does not have gender-specific sizes for the freebies. Can't guarantee that a large would be a women's large.

That generally means they just use "unisex" (which are still men's) sizes. So a medium would do in that case. And you're supposed to know these things, duh.

The only thing I have genuinely liked since the original trilogy is the clone wars animated series and rebels. Some of the others have been good rides but just don't have the emotional feel of the originals. I think part of it is that everything is too extreme in the new movies. And it is all action all the time there are not really the slow contemplative moments of the originals. And strangely I liked Rose and Finn, her whole hero worship/infatuation was one of the few things that did not feel contrived or forced. Well that is my opinion. I have found those you blokes have put forward interesting.
