    Kyle Ren is just an emo kid with power, it didn’t bring me any closer to seeing him as a villain and quite frankly just made me dislike the character. The whole point of Darth Vader always having his mask on I think is that he isn’t human, there is no mercy and remorse just orders.

    The OT was good and Disney Star Wars is a lazy, mostly incoherent rehash with no real narrative – just a collection of scenes that look neat. Why take 10 minutes to prop up below-average filmmaking?

    This was actually pretty good. Really shows the differences and why each is good in its own right

    Let’s be real : the new ones have only one real goal: try to replicate the feeling of the old ones. No interesting new ideas, no real passion into it. This is the reason why these movies will feel empty, useless and forgetable in the cinema history. For Star Wars movies they totally lack of heart and creativity. And bring back old caracters just make them feel even more like lazy slobs because the new caracters go nowere. And Williams : well his music sounds generic now 🙁 it’s just sad . Bye bye star wars, you were good back in the day.

    So Star Wars is going to be better because it’s less Star Warsish? Oh God the new movie is going to suck, isn’t it.

    Darker? More complex? What movie are you watching? The new trilogy is nothing but distilled nostalgia and pasteurized storytelling.

    I love all SW trilogies. Yes, there are problems with them but i decide to ignore them and enjoy the things i love about them more.

    Sequel trilogy is the worst but still enjoyable. In reality fans hate Disney star wars but i am a kind of fan who do not reject one over the other.
    I’m embracing both canon and Legends 😀 because both being different but still in the same universe as we all know and love :3

    Kylo ren is too weak to even be considered as scary as Darth Vader you idiots

    Well done!

    When princess leiha flew through space… I wanted to through up and lost all respect. The Ron Howard film though great or at least compared to the others.

    The modern ones are also trash, guess you forgot to mention that…

    My opinion:

    Young Luke > Rey
    Old Han > Obi
    Old Luke = Yoda
    Kylo > Vader
    Young Leia and Han > Any secondary character of the Sequels
    R2 and C3PO > BB8

      I disagree about Kylo being better than Vader. Vader is far better written and being more complex is not necessarily better. Vader serves perfectly as a strong written villain who instills fear in the characters in the story. Kylo Ren is complex and makes sense as a character but he hasn’t had enough development and he falls flat when it comes to being very compelling.

    Both of the trilogies were made by Lucasfilm

    Super interesting stuff. I love how well the two trilogies reflect their time in so many ways.
