George Lucas Was Right About the Star Wars Fanbase

It will happen exactly the opposite, many of the people now saying the movie was horrible will realize little by little that they were totally wrong, I already have seen a bunch of people saying that on a 2nd view they liked it more and I expect this number to grow, mark my words, critics were totally right with this one, fans are just overreacting cause the movie has some really bold moments but time will put it on its place.

Bold moments? I didn't see any. All I saw was a director trolling fans of a franchise he obviously doesn't care about. "Oh, you guys want some awesome reveals and answers to questions, like in the OG trilogy?  Well, fuck you. I'm a genius for doing a bunch of anti-reveals. Oh, and here's a few scenes straight out of a Disney TV show."

And no, as people remove themselves further from the movie, the worse they think it is. Just like how the reception of TFA cooled, from people thinking it was awesome to just thinking it was OK. I actually came out of this movie disappointed, but still thought it was OK. Either on the same level as TFA, or maybe even slightly better. But, the more I thought about the movie, I realized I actually despised it. More than TFA, which puts TFA higher than this movie.

At least TFA felt like a SW movie. And even with all its flaws and unanswered questions, they could have at least been mostly corrected in the sequel. Instead the franchise, and its fans, got shit on by someone who basically amounts to an internet troll. And not one of those clever ones that you can find some humor in, but an obvious one that almost everyone hates. 

I disagree with basically everything you said, time is the best judge and I don't have a single doubt in some years the overall opinion of the movie will improve quite a bit.
