I don't get it lol.... How do people like star wars so much

People have soft spots for things linked to childhood. Just like d2.

How do people enjoy football so much? Especially with how corrupt FIFA is, and don't get me started on how many people have died and rioted in the name of that sport.

Star wars is harmless fun comparatively. It is an escape from reality. More fantasy adventure than actual sci-fi. If you don't see how that might be enticing then why do you even watch fictitious films/programs?

This is the only reason it is so popular. nostalgia is all there is to it.

tell me more

The original trilogy is pretty great. As for the new one, I have no idea. Marketing I guess.

You hating something doesn't mean it isn't good.

I don't hate it, I just think it is overly praised. I enjoy the movies tho

With how shitty the prequels were received I don't think it is fair to say these are overly praised just because of nostalgia. But hey to each his own. Everyone has their own tastes and opinions.

They're though. They haven't been bad movies, but to call them great is reaching hard. Force Awakens got a fucking 92%. While I agree that it was an enjoyable movie, it's nowhere near that good. a 6.5-7.5/10 is all Episode 7 and Rouge One deserved. We'll see if 8 is any better, but I can't imagine them doing much to improve on the first installment with such weak leading characters and one of the whiniest villains of all time, he's even worse than Anakin. Hopefully the dialogue is at least a little better in 8 than it was in Rouge One, still having trouble wrapping my head around some of those cheesy as fuck lines/scenes that made it past final edits.
