I loved what Abrams did with Star Trek and I bet he's used a lot of his tricks on this one to spruce it up. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-14527256421352838492015-12-18T01:44:29.392-05:002015-12-18T01:44:29.392-05:00There you go, that's what I'm talking abou...There you go, that's what I'm talking about.

Over the years, I have identified closely with all of them: I have been the kid with potential, the idealist, the cynic, the sidekick... now I find myself drifting in the role of wizened mentor.<br /><br />I love Star Wars because I've lived it.Monchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132341373842481242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-21714804873659389412015-12-17T08:33:17.798-05:002015-12-17T08:33:17.798-05:00I can remember buying the Warren magazine special ...I can remember buying the Warren magazine special for Star Wars the summer it came out (1977) – and being more taken with that than the movie itself, oddly enough. Also, despite the Howie Chaykin art I never picked up the Marvel Comic past the 1st issue. I dunno…Maybe having been heavy into comics prior to Star Wars – gave me kind of a been there/done that ennui toward the movie(s). (Forced to make a choice, I’d always go Star Trek over Star Wars too…) RickMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023383661211180321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-88272233403836360632015-12-17T08:21:18.606-05:002015-12-17T08:21:18.606-05:00I loved the first Star Wars film but the revelatio...I loved the first Star Wars film but the revelation that Darth Vader was Luke's father then, even more ludicrously, that Leia was his sister completely spoiled it for me. I've never taken Star Wars seriously since and I have zero interest in The Force Awakens.

However, I wasn't sure at the time whether it was movie itself or the fact that some 18 years had passed since I'd seen any of the original three and maybe my tastes in entertainment had changed. I still haven't seen any of the middle (or first, or whatever) three movies, so I kind of think that it's the latter.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547751537787941998noreply@blogger.com
