[QUOTE=Marshmallow Marshall;922815]Are the new Star Wars worth watching at all? I watched one and didn't really like it.[/QUOTE]
I thought they were absolutely awful. They recognized people love having their expectations subverted with the 'I am your father' reveal from the originals and tried to copy that feeling with a bunch of poorly written 'gotcha' moments. Then the story arcs did not carry over multiple movies as if they had just written individual movies instead of a trilogy. Also they absolutely destroyed the lore of starwars with things like taking a ship light speed through another ship which invalidates the entire plot line of many movies. And after all that they killed off all the old characters we love for next to no reason and force fed a new cute robot every movie to sell toys and characters nobody gave a shit about.

If you can turn your brain off and have no love for the Starwars lore/characters, they have great acting, outstanding action scenes, amazing special effects, and highly competent camera work but those films were a terribly written cash grab. The 2nd one was easily one of the most awful high budget films I have ever seen in regards to the writing.
