1. Every 6 months a new star wars movie

I think it's overkill

2. It's actually every year.

This is out in December. We had one this past December and the December before that.

And if it's overkill, what's three Marvel movies per year? This is nothing.

3. Rouge 1 was great the force awakens was better the first time i saw it 40 years ago

4. That's awesome

But you can get why so many are enjoying it now? It's for their generation. The number of kids, and especially young girls, that got to go see this with their geek dads and are going to be inspired for a generation are significant.

It's fun to throw shade on TFA, I get that. But it's also good to look at the big picture impact.

5. I still love the movies and your right

6. I know we just got this title, but I think I have a list of possible titles for IX.

The Unifying Force
Dynasty of Evil
Shadows of Ren
Jedi Dawn
Invincible


Sorry, what with this movie sharing the name of a Legends novel and comic issue, I couldn't resist...
