Awesome. Pack it to all Fuck with the good stuff.
It’s overloaded with Star Wars?

Awesome



Well aware I could be eating my words tomorrow
lol you'll love it because you are an unabashed fan. It's great! I'm the same way with SNL: Even when it's awful, I adore it. It's nice to have things like that in your life.

Im sure ill have the time of my life watching it. Walk away from it with a few questions but adore it and say its the best star wars ever. And then things will unravel from there. Ultimately, i will come around to it in the weeks and months to come and say firmly that it is one of the better star wars movies and anyone who hates it either 1)missed the point or 2) can't get over their own childhood memories and i will thus declare star wars the greatest living thing ever and hope for a new pearl jam album.

To be clear, as a Star wars fan that saw them in the theater as a kid, the best Star wars thing ever isn't ANH. it's:
Rogue One
Chopper
Ahsoka
or maybe even

Baby Yoda

Not true. I came out of tfa in love and in happy tears.

I left rogue one and tlj with exactly the same response here which was ‘what the fuck did I just watch??’

Came to love both but it took a while. Rogue one especially

No, I love it. But after the OT, my mind would imagine things for hours, making up new stories in the universe. So when they started extended it, I loved it even more.

Episode X is more likely than a new Pearl Jam record.

Has any film or franchise ever faced such bullshit. Before it’s even opened like?
