Does Rey bite her lower lip?

lol... not exactly, but there were moments when it looked like they were going to drop their lightsabers and smooch. That shirtless Ren scene seemed to embarrass Rey in that Non-we're supposed-to-be-enemies-way... lol. My 10 year old daughter loved that part... lol.

In one of those post it noted the "ugly side of Star Wars fans". Please, because they finally decided to constructively criticize the franchise? Most of them over looked that TFA was just a retread of a ANH. If you loved this movie you'll be validated by the metric ton of cash it will make. If you hated it... well you, like me will probably see the final installment anyway. Either way Disney wins. On a totally side note say you hated TLJ and the prequels. Out of 8 movies you hated 4 and god forbid you hated say TFA...lol Thank god for Rouge One!

Rogue One was 2 hours of tedious build up and unintelligible dialogue followed by a finale with too many fortuitous happenstances.

Constructively criticize?

Yeah constructive. I mean this is the internet so you're gonna get "This movie sux and F you cause you don't like what I like". However when people explain what didn't float their boat or why something didn't ring true to me that constructive.

While I agree for the most part, I dont think that's what the majority of those complaining are doing. Some are, sure. But the majority of backlash I'm seeing is simply things like:

- "I hated the movie!"
- "What complete garbage"
- "Rian ruined Stat Wars"
- "@$!% Disney!"
- "Just a bunch of SJW sh!t"

All because Snoke died before they found out whether or not their theories of who he was were correct or whether or not they were right about Rey's parents. Yep, real constructive.

I don't mind people giving constructive criticism and saying what they didn't like about the movie... But you do get the drama queens who come in declaring the Star Wars franchise is dead and try to nit pick the movie apart over the most trivial stuff.

There's stuff in TLJ I would of liked seen changed such as Leia pulling herself through space using the force or the whole mind meld thing which was a bit cheesy or Luke projecting himself across the galaxy. Kathleen Kennedy and this Director took a LOT of liberties in regards to how the force works to the point where it was a bit ridiculous IMO. Lucas did something similar with Phantom Menace where Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon could run like Speedy Gonzales... If they can move like the Flash how come they're not always doing it? anyways it's a slippery slope when you start giving over the top powers to characters....

But I still had fun watching the movie, it had lots of action, humor (some good some cringe worthy), but overall not bad.

.......I also disliked Luke milking that alien thing. WTF. That stuff needs to stay on National Geographic as far as I'm concerned. lol
