You going to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi this weekend? How was it? 220 million first weekend domestic, more than entire Justice League run

SO much this, I cant fathom how it got such high reviews either. 

Also the comedy seemed very forced and didnt work, TFA got a couple of laughs from me. But why do they feel the need to add comedy elements anyway? I dont remember there being much in the previous episodes I-VI

There were plenty of comedy elements in the original trilogy. I mean, Han Solo is a one-liner machine, there were plenty of fun moments with it. One of the problem with the prequels is that they were pretty much humourless, except for Jar Jar Binks, which isn't the best example of good comedy xD. I think people might forget that SW movies are pretty much, big, bombastic, fun adventure films. They're not exactly what I'd call drama, dark films. Although there are plenty of dark moments, that's not the general tone. So I was pretty surprised to hear people complaining about comedy in a SW film. 

There's a big difference between witty remarks like the banter between Han and Leia and slapstick comedy like the rock Rey just sliced knocking the cart from those indigenous creatures or BB8 being used as a slot machine by a drunk alien.
