They're actually less enthusiastic than I would expect. First time viewing of a movie with huge excitement at its back and is following up some of the most reviled films of all time. It should be easy for it to draw a lot of initially hyperbolic infatuation.

Also, if Star Wars sucks too, will we finally return to a world where original ideas outnumber sequels?
Lol

But no, seriously, we won't. Because it doesn't matter if Star Wars sucks. It's already made all the money.

I've been depressed I haven't been a legit Jedi since I was like 5 years old.
Oh dude, I am a legit Jedi. I've got a certificate from Yoda and everything. 8-)

Spoiler: show
no but there are some moments in the story telling that Come close. Huge leaps let's say.
Well that's a red flag. That sounds exactly like how JJ ruins all of his stories.

I always knew this day would come. I can't say I don't understand. But I will not pretend I'm not devastated.
