Yes, it's almost like it's only a fucking movie. 

The sequels are better than the prequels and that's all anyone was ever going to get. Some people treat this like it's supposed to be a religious experience, it's freaking kids movie at its core and Lucas got lucky with several things in the OT that were lucky accidents that are never happening again. 

That's all I wanted. It's cool that you think that way but there's plenty of others who don't like the new films. People should be able to respect each other's opinions.

I'm just saying do we need to have the same whiny fanbase reaction to EVERY Star Wars movie every time?

The "nerd community" just fucking needs to let this go, this is now almost 20 years of unrelenting "backlash". You're not getting the Star Wars movie you want. It's not gonna happen if your expectations are that high. The originals are only good by a lot of fluke/good fortune/stars aligning that will never happen again. 

This same shit will happen again for Episode IX too ... "OHMAGAWD, it's TOO SAFE as a movie, why don't they take risks like Last Jedi did!!! I hate you JJ!". Rinse, wash, repeat. 

I like Star Wars too and can be critical of it but I can also admit the fan base can also be a bunch of whiny, entitled little shits too. That streak runs very strong in the fan base, the fan base is embarrassing at times. 

You're getting a new Star Wars trilogy and it's about as good as the modern Marvel films. And that's all you were ever gonna get. If you're going to throw a hissy fit like a child that it's not as good as you wanted, like serious chill the fuck out. It's not a good look.
