yeah...and Star Trek is probably way more popular today than it was before JJ got involved.

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible!
So many problems with this movie. Obviously Disney's way of pumping out garbage to pump ticket sales, then merchandise sales, then park tickets to the new Star Wars world at WDW.
And all of us lemmings are in line.
Sad.
quote:I went in expecting greatness on the first showing and got it.
I saw The Force Awakens early in the run, and I went in absolutely certain that it was going to suck hard. I was blown away at how good it was, but of course, that reaction was relative to my expectations. I've experienced the opposite with movies that "everyone" said were fantastic. When I finally saw them, I disliked them, probably in large part because they didn't live up to my expectations.
People now seeing TFA for the first time have heard endless talk about how good it is, so they go in with high expectations that the movie can't meet.
It's a good movie, but if you go in expecting it to be a great movie, you'll be disappointed.

I'm actually a little surprised that they wiped out SotE from the canon, as it was one of the lone EU elements that came more or less directly from Lucasfilm.
Where do you find out what was scrubbed?
Entire EU is gone, only the films, animated series, and games and their associated books and comics are canon. Don't think there's anything else, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

And yes, I saw Episode IV as a 7 year old.
