Saying they de-fantasified it and turned it into a war flick, wishing Lucas would come back and take over. Mick actually liked the first 8 episodes, which I never could, and thinks this one completely loses resemblance, charm, and worth.

So I might actually like this one better.

...I can usually trust him so I may be taking a pass on this one. It may be significant that it's promoted as a "Star Wars Story ". Uh-oh!

  Not quite the right demographic for it.

    ...I tend to like what he does irrespective of age differences. Curiously, JM was significantly more positive about last year's Star Wars offering. What a difference a year makes (his age or movie quality?)

      Well, never mind...
      OK, you forced me.
      Suckers for Star Wars.

        ...Like blah, uninteresting trailers that reinforce some of the negative reviews. Another big influencer for me at least is Rotten Tomatoes. Last I looked the Tomato Meter had RO ~ 85%, a value that might just override the trailers and negative reviews.

        ...I think Rotten Tomatoes is skewed toward a younger audience - under 50.

...I hadn't read his review until just now.

I usually like him but I don't always agree with him.

Probably find out this weekend if I get to see it.
