I know let's start out with an unlikely hero on a sand planet, and then have that hero be involved with the most impossible task of destroying a death star or something like it.
Right, its the same plot over and over, the entire plot of every story is the same thing over and over.
Gotta blow up the big guys ship.
As i said - a complete rehash of EP IV... /sigh WTF was Disney/LFL thinking?? Why couldn't it be new?
Exactly
They probably thought it was safer to slowly introduce them and kill off the main characters
Why would they think that? They have the cartoons - granted non of the OT characters save Obi Wan/Vader are in the cartoons (oh and Yoda).

Not really. Maybe when you are talking to people my age. But the big new SW draw now is not us.

No he's right, there's a lot of kids (edit Guys) my age ( 21 ~) that havent seen SW nor want to see it!
A lot of the kids my age would rather watch the new ones "because better graphics" , I no longer talk to these people.. I dont need that negativity in my life. -

What young people think is irrelevant as they are just self absorbed dicks.
FYI - I don't consider you young, I'm only 42 for crying outloud. I do consider myself older... but not old.

Or maybe just the new ones, because they are "popular" as part of the dress up culture that has arisen.

A lot of the kids my age would rather watch the new ones "because better graphics" , I no longer talk to these people.. I dont need that negativity in my life.That's become a thing. When I was a kid, 50 year old movies were normal to watch. I grew up with movies made in the 30s and 40s and never thought of them as "bad".
Most 20 somethings I talk to today refuse to "watch anything made before I was born", because they have no interest in "old stuff."

I'll give you that.
I hasn't considered that - movies now carter to that whole "new" pop culture thing - cosplay. I think Scott agrees that most only do it because it's the current IN thing to do.

Dominica and I were watching Growing Pains last night and Dominica said "wow, we are nearly their ages - and they are supposed to have been married exactly as long as us!"
And I'm like... um... we are way older than the parents on this show (we are 42 & 40, Alan Thicke and Joana Kerns were 37 and 32!)

Well they're wrong and you should stop talking to them. You dont need that type of negativity in your life.
I still watch "old movies" from before I was born; Those movies are way better in my opinion;
Especially the SW trilogy -

Yeah. When I was ~26, cosplay was "nerd culture" and mostly relegated to super hard core fans of a film or genre. It was rare and marked you as unique, and really, really into whatever the topic was.
Today, every 20 something girl does this (and loads of guys) and it is basically like Halloween, just a fun excuse to get as close to naked as possible and show off. Which is great and 100% okay, but a totally backwards concept to being a fan of the media in question.
I have friends who are professional cosplayers, they do it full time, post pics several times a day. And you have to have a "subscription" to see their naughtier material. You literally pay for them to remove the outfits. It a great number of cases, cosplay has become as mainstream as pop culture gets, and has often moved from being "nearly stripping" to literally being paid stripping.
