    Something might not appeal to you on paper. But then you see it and find out it's not as bad when you watch it, or it could be even worse than it sounds on paper.

    I won't criticize something that looks like it doesn't appeal to me, I just won't watch it. You might say that's a form of criticism in of itself, but it's more a criticism of the marketing (or in this case leaks with no context) than the actual full finished product of a film.

    Well, I love SW so this trilogy interests me as part of the franchise. And it offers absolutely nothing that I want to see, so there we are. You can’t slap the SW title on stories I wouldn’t ever watch in any other context and expect me to be guilted into watching just because it’s SW. I’m gonna see it eventually, but I know seeing it won’t suddenly make me enjoy the Skywalkers being trashed or swoon at gross Nazi love.

    I remember two years ago when people legit saw TLJ and the litmus test to prove if it was a fake was "Tell us what's in the opening trailer" and nobody could remember it whether they saw it or not. Even to this day, I still can't remember what the opening crawl was to TLJ unless I looked it up.

    This one is certainly memorable, at least.

    so everyone gets love but Hux? Why does one Fascist dictator gets romance over another?

    Hux should just change his last name to Skywalker.

    Hux has a better, more sympathetic back story too. And personally, I think he’s cuter.

    "I know seeing it won't"

    But you don't know that...because you haven't seen it. Unless you're admitting you want to hate this, therefore you will work to hate this regardless if the film actually makes you hate it or not.

    If nothing at all you've seen interests you, then don't see it. If you're only seeing it because it's Star Wars then the marketing has still done it's job regardless. The point remains, you cannot judge something before you see it. You can judge these word documents and these screenshots with no context, but not the film.

    The first review from someone who says they were a projectionist during the film has shared their review. Everything was exactly as Paxis said. The kiss is given by Rey to Ben after he brings her back to life. She sees what he did and that he's dying, so she kisses him, and lies there smiling and crying while be becomes a force ghost.

    TFA's leaks sounded horrible as well. So many people couldn't believe that Luke didn't even speak in the film. You can't really tell until you watch it.

    should have done a "I'm Spartacus Skywalker." scene.

    Palpatine will tell Rey is real name is Sheev Skywalker. Rise of Skywalker.

    No I absolutely know. I know my taste and I know the movies and stories I do and don’t enjoy. My goodness the conceit of trying to tell people they simply can’t have opinions in this fandom blows me away. I don’t find satisfaction in depressing subversion that destroys the foundation for the story. I don’t like the happy ending of RotJ being decimated. I don’t like Nazi love. I’ve seen two movies of Reylo already. I know in any romantic context, they turn my stomach physically. I know that I DGAS about Kylo’s redemption. I know I feel no satisfaction in it. I don’t feel the narrative has built to that or made me want it. These are all valid opinions and they ain’t changing with weird attempts to shame me for judging a story based on its actual story. I absolutely can do that.

    and no, the marketing hasn’t worked. I’m seeing it for free. If I did pay, it would be because a crappy story is riding the coattails of someone else’s actually good story. The only reason the story of Reylo destroying the Skywalkers gets any butts in seats is the SW title they had nothing to do with making legendary.

    To be fair, I have old Reddit and Twitter accounts. But I only use my newer ones.

    But if I posted potentially illegal stuff like spoilers, I would use my older accounts. Since they’ll most likely get suspended because of it.

    Oops, this is not the haters thread. So I posted incorrectly, and deleted it. I will walk away from your strong term, because it didn't cross my mind, but the general idea of kicking people out of their homeland... just walking away from an intellectual property that some completely outside foreign entity has planted a flag in... I thought @Strategize was IN the haters thread and I was expecting a mod to swoop in at any minute. [face_talk_hand]
