    I'm pretty convinced that's how a lot of us who didn't like TLJ will come around. We'll never like it or value it as a movie, but we'll be familiar with the story and move on so we can hopefully enjoy the next trilogy.

    It does work... it's annoying but it works haha .
    :p
    Again I think it depends who you're interacting with. There are some people on here who just want to wind your gears. For those, ignoring is probably the only solution.

    Others quite simply just disagree. Some people like Babylon 5, some don't, doesn't mean you don't like Sci-Fi if you don't like it. I see TLJ the same way. Some like it, some don't, but none of us hate SW, just that some don't like this installment or direction. Most of us will come to terms with it, just like we did with the PT and all the issues in there. As someone else wrote, we'll just view them as a historical document so we're familiar enough with the events to know what is going on in future installments.

    Being totally ignorant of superhero movies and culture, I actually think BvSM was one of the more interesting superhero movies. I'm a hard man to please when it comes to superhero movies. I liked the first two Nolan Batman movies, the first Ironman and Logan and that's basically it. :p

    I don't think I've ever left a theater hating a Star Wars film. There's things I enjoy about Attack of the Clones even though it's very easily the worst Star Wars film. These new films are much better so far than what we saw from the prequels.

    Amen. I was so messed up after The Phantom Menace. I just kept clinging to Maul vs Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon and the Dual of the Fates music track. Once all of the Prequels were released, my shock had worn off and I could enjoy them all for what they offered. There is still no other set of films that have that magic for me.

    lol.

    I love you, Grand Admiral Kraum.

    This made me laugh, so thank you kindly!

    Hope you really enjoy your next viewing of TLJ!

    I know I will.

    LOL
    Sorry...

    I saw the thread title and seriously thought it read, "Ignoring the Star Wars Heaters"
    My mind tossed in one of these:
    [​IMG]

    Made to look like this:
    [​IMG]

    To which my mind thought, "Well...I'll try to ignore that, but that's going to be really hard".

    Again, sorry about the tangent of the post, but it made me laugh.

    Cheers,
    Jayson

    Very sad that this earned you a "troll" rating. People making our point I guess.

    I got threatened with a ban for my retorts. Someone called me "pr*ck" a week or so ago and continued to post their bile!
    SW forums are a trolls playground at the moment.

    You don't understand, they want to save Star Wars. LOOK AT THE RT user score. That's what they're saying. No wonder Metacritic and RT consider the critics score the actual website score and not the audience one. :p

    I've seen a few twitter accounts like this... all the same. The accounts only rant about the film, harass anyone who disagrees, post the RT score over and over again, and harass RJ.

    They're literally like the Spanish Inquisition you know. They abide by the promise that you might save the person you are burning all in the effort of policing religious orthodoxy. :eek:

    I cannot find a more fitting analogy.:D(yoda)

    You're not wrong Shaitan - you loveable rogue.

    But I'm sure I've spotted your scoundrel self,
    running around the depths of the Haters Thread,
    armed only with reason and a good aim,
    all like...

    “Loveable rogue”...I like the sound of that. ;)

    It’s a predicament for me. On the one hand, I don’t like reading thread upon thread of pointless hate. On the other, I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around.:D
