I have come to the realization that it isn't worth talking about our opinions about TFA and TLJ on here, because nobody seems to care anyways. You and I are in the minority that actually liked these two movies (on this forum at least), and any time we talk about why we liked them, someone comes and pretty much disses our opinion, but they will never explain why they do not like them. I have pretty much stopped talking about these two movies on here because of it.
The movies can be fun if you do not think too deeply about them (but then again, SERIOUSLY, I could say the exact same thing about New Hope, Empire, & Return Jedi). It's funny how fanboys grow up to be so jaded against prequel trilogy and new trilogy
As a child I watched them for fun and did not think twice about terms like realism. I can see my son having just as much fun as I once did.
But ploy holes aside* the one thing that REALLY bugs me about new trilogy is the entire First Order thing
Watching these films you would never have guessed that Empire LOST the civil war (both in Return of Jedi and later at Battle of Jakku both of which were supposed to be major turning points in the war)
It just baffles me how the good guys are so small / weak and bad guys have such a huge power base
As to trying to argue with haters or fanboys like I said the films (all of them) can be picked apart if someone cares to do so
But seriously whats the point
Pretty sad life if their whole purpose is trying to put down everything in the cinemas
*although to be fair although fun the Last Jedi has far more plot issues than Force Awakens had
