Is Luke The Bad Guy?

Everything cultural, pop or otherwise. Books, movies, music, comics, poetry, random cultural geekery.

With a face like that, I can understand wearing a mask.

[spoiler]No, not in the traditional sense. I was however disappointed in his actions/lack of actions, which I felt led to bad things happening. I am willing to see if the next movie (May 2017!) changes my mind.[/spoiler]

I saw it last night. Typical Abrams, mimicking someone else's work. I thought it was silly and while watchable, not worth the $20 I spent for 3D IMAX.

Haven't seen it yet. Did Abrams make as much as a hash of SW as he did with Star Trek? What he did with that franchise was obscene.

No, but I do not agree with the direction in which he went. Very unoriginal.

I rather enjoyed Ep VIII, but I'm not entirely sure I didn't watch Ep. IV

I think it's official now: he shall forever be known as Jar-Jar "Rerun" Abrams. It's really too bad, it was like half the movie was well planned out, and the rest was filled in with stock footage from Episode IV. The more my wife and I talked about it on the drive home, the more disappointed we became.
