While I don't think BB-8 is the best thing since sliced bread, I'm quite surprised anyone could actually be annoyed by her or even hate on her (heard it was a she!). It was inevitable that we would get a new droid at some point and isn't R2 just as "annoying" with the noises he makes or the way he moves? No..but that's because R2 is who we grew up with
Honestly though..there isn't much difference between the two of them is there??
I get that it's super easy to be critical of the new film, especially if you are comparing it to the OT, but we all know it won't ever be the same and it will never mean as much to any of us as those first three films always will. From what we've seen of TFA so far though, I'm pretty confident in saying that it's going to be infinitely better than any of the **** we had to endure with the prequels.
As a SW fan, for as much as I try..I honestly find it very hard to resist anything I see that has lightsaber duels, TIE fighters battling X-Wings and pretty much anything else Star Wars. Whether it's fan films, video games or even the prequels (yes I've watched them more than once!)...you name it I'll watch it, play it or read it and usually I enjoy it!
I don't think there is anyone on this forum that really believes TFA will be the best SW film ever but I find it hard to understand how anyone can con bring a negative attitude to every single thread about it when it's bringing us more of what we love!
It's perfectly fine to have your own opinion of course and I would probably feel the same if the preview trailers showed Mickey and Minnie running around with lightsabers..but they don't! The film really looks ****ing amazing AND dark..which IMO is just what the franchise needed after the drivel GL brought to our screens time after time during the prequel years! Yet for some reason, it's still being ripped apart?
I say give the film the chance it deserves from the fans! Go in the cinema with an open mind, watch it and
then comment. None of us know what's in store for us and who knows, even those that hate everything about the trailers will be pleasantly surprised!
If it's shite and your opinion hasn't changed then go for it, dissect the film all you want and point out all the faults JJ has made, I'm sure there will be anti TFA forums popping up all over the internet full of people who feel the same too!
I'm honestly really excited about TFA, I could care less about the merchandise and all of the **** that comes along with it but I really want to watch a good Star Wars film...something we haven't had since the 80's!
/rant (PS I'm just a little tired of seeing people shut off from the forums completely and complain about them elsewhere because of the TFA hate...)
