A great Star Wars film. Hell, a great film regardless of the brand. I can't wait for Rian Johnson's trilogy. If you losers **** this up I'm going to terrorize you.
With a Star Wars Movie pretty much coming out Every Year for the Foreseeable Future. The odd are that some of them will be Stankers. TLJ wasn't Bad but it sure as Hell wasn't Great.
Rogue 1. Now that movie was a Stanker.

Nope. That honor still goes to Attack of the Clones.

These things and more."
TFA has the sin of being derivative in plot and creatively bankrupt. I'd definitely say it's the most dull of the franchise.
However from a competency standpoint, its a better made movie. AotC isn't just a shitty star wars movie, its a shitty film in general. Bad pacing, wooden acting, cringy dialogue, nonsensical character motives, plot threads that go nowhere, etc.

For all it’s flaws at least AOTC is full of imagination from beginning to end, and really did break new ground in cgi as well that not many appreciate, yet lead to things like Avatar being possible.

I bet that Adsense revenue from the 362, 420 views is helping to ease his suffering.

91% Critics Score, 51% audience score. Box office is a success even while far under the predictions.
Not paying to watch it or any other Disney movie, nor buying merchandise is the best way to criticise a company. Glad to see that a lot of others feel similar. Its a small drop of resistance but talking to friends, family and co workes about how bad this movie is prevents them from wasting money. The benefit of being a fan, your opinion matters to non fans.
