[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh no we have a SJW on dcum going on and going that people dislike the movie because of the female lead! That is what Disney is using as their excuse and they even attack the fans with it. The reality is that critics of the new trilogy have voices valid objections, and we can see that JJ and Disney know they screwed up with this trilogy due to lack of direction. Trilogy is supposed to have a story arc and they had no outline and nothing planned ahead. That is why JJ had to spend time fixing things and had a frantic movie this time. If it was not for Riddley and Driver being great actors, this movie would be much worse off. They uplift it. 
We always knew Luke's and Anakin's motivaion for doing what they did. Luke's aunt and uncle were burned to crisp by the Empire. Anakin was a slave and wanted to save Padme(turns out from himself, and his dark side was shown in the AoC.) One movie Rey is set to hear Anakin/Luke's lightsaber, next one she is nobody, third one she is a Palpatine! Lack of direction in these movies is what fans object to and critics this time too! Ridley is a great actor, she did the best she could in a role that had no motivation at all. Kylo had a better story arc. The fact is the did not make this a new not connected trilogy, they played it as an end to all the Skywalker Star Wars movies, you can't just ignore everything that came before. It is poor writing for kick only to invent a new force skill to get your our of poor writing.[/quote]

I dunno. The only thing I think that was ignored were the dead ends from movie 8. The rest of it was tied in well.

I though there was a much bigger continuity gap between the prequels and eps 4-6 than between 7-9 and the rest. [/quote]
What were the gaps in 1-6?[/quote]

The biggest gaps are the major plot points in the first three that are just forgotten in 4-6. It's jarring to see how little of the prequels appear in 4-6, yet there is only a 20-year gap, supposedly. It makes no sense, and undermines the plots in 4-6.

Examples:

- Midiclorians
- The Jedi are a "forgotten" order in a New Hope but Ep 3 ended 20 years earlier in a world with droids. Universal amnesia?
- Obi-Wan forgetting entirely about the droid he spent years with 20 years earlier
- Minor, but it bugged me: R2s rocket powers (wtf, like he forgot he had rockets?)

There are a lot more, this is a tiny subset. And yet, all of that forgotten,  but Leia remembered her mother who died in childbirth.

It's painful to watch eps 1-3 then 4-6, but it's not nearly as bad to watch 4-6 then 7-8 (and now 9). I find the first three virtually unwatchable.

Agree on the time lapse being weird. Plus Chewbacca?! That fought in the Clone Wars and helped rescue Yoda?! Midichlorians are not a plot hole, imo, just a bad writing choice. Lei remembering? I forgot that, did she really? Did Obi Wan really forget about R2D2 and C3PO or do we pretend he just choose not to say something?[/quote]

Yes, Chewbacca is another one. I mean, the collective amnesia is too much to take.

Leia remembered her mother as sad and beautiful, or something like that. I think it was in episode 6.[/quote]
