Just because something is better than garbage, doesn't mean it's good.  It's still nowhere near the quality of the original trilogy.

Because 6 is brilliant, not overrated by nostalgia at all...

I never said it was, but I still think it's a better movie than TFA.

Well for me the movie was actually pretty OK. It was nothing to write home about, but when it comes to AAA budget hollywood flicks it most deffinatly falls in the good category. The issue is that I constantly felt like "been there done that", something that not even the prequal series managed to do for me. It could have been so much more and all it felt was like its a bit wasted opportunity. I never felt the sittuations uregncy when I watched it or the high stakes, something that the original trilogy managed to capture with every one of the films. And the worst part was, that it didnt communicate to me anything meaningfull. Never once did they tried a smart route to actually base the struggle on a cleverly hidden ideological backgrounds. Rather they chose to milk the nostalgia factor for old viewers and put in impressive action for newer ones.

I will still watch this one, dont get me wrong, but I have some mixed feelings about it. The grittiness yet again feels like something that they do, only because the trend is there. The war scenes look far more down to earth, because that is trendy these day. Oh, and did I mention that the director is still unproven AA A wise. Monsters was good, but that was pretty low-budget, but Godzilla was mediocre at best (it looked amazing, at least we have that).

But lets hope for the best.

Looks amazing! I wonder if it--being a spin-off/prequel--will compete with TFA's box office haul.

She didn't seem flawless to me as she made the mistake of letting the Rathars out when she intended to close the doors on the two gangs to protect Han Solo from them. She also initially decided to run away after touching the lightsaber instead of listening to Maz. Still, I understand why she would be seen as a Mary Sue (even though I disagree with that).

Also, it's a shame that movie audiences are so inherently misogynistic that this new entry in a previously mostly male-led franchise is doomed to have twice as many dislikes as likes on YouT...oh wait.

When's the next star wars game due? Will it just be a battlefront expansion releasing near this?

Movie looks decent btw. Didn't realise it was out this year.

And guess who saved the day when those tentacle monsters got released...

I know Rey did, but that doesn't change the point I was trying to make, which was that she's not perfect. If anything, she's a bit too skilled, especially with the Jedi mind trick. Then again Ahsoka was able to use it as a Padawan (I'm not sure if it actually worked though).
