Star Wars is in 3D and has IMAX showings.

Yea I know but that isn't its main focus. Avatar was a run away hit because it introduced a new and improved 3d technology that people were wowed with. It was the fad of 3d that catapult it to success. Star wars doesn't have a fad so the movie is just targeted to its fan base. A bunch of people saw avatar because of the new and improved 3d experience. Let's remember that movie only debuted with 78 million here in the states and went on to become the highest grossed movie of all time.

I agree with most of what your saying. Unlike the original they didn't take time to develop the characters at all...one action sequence after another...I didn't feel like i cared about them. Then there is Ry, shes just way to powerful for a Jedi with no training...either that or they didn't give me a reason to believe she could be THAT talented. Remember Luke's training? The movie was good, but it could have been MUCH better.

I haven't seen it yet but in the old lore, which they still might use some ideas from, the children of two Jedi might have extreme ability I believe. They weren't supposed to mate with each other. But Luke Skywalker did.

I am very much like your friend, i was planning to watch all previous ones so i would have a better understanding. Is there a sequence i should watch the episodes or no??

Thanks man, will watch them when i can.

I am not hating just because its popular to hate. I really am a big star wars fan i love the audiobooks of bane and plagus to KotOR to jedi academy to the old battlefront games, i have vaders lightsaber in my bedroom with a ton of vinyl figurines. I am perplexed as to why i am not liking this film. So iam go to watch it again on Wednesday. The sad fact is the people though phantom mence was great when it came out first, it took awhile for the hate for that to grow.
