I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I think Abrams can do a movie with plenty of soul but he has no interest in 'pushing' against studios, so if they hand him a script with flat characters he's just gonna make a movie with flat characters. His moviemaking style is more about the emotion of the moment and not the richness of the characters creating the moment.

Once again, Abrams didn't write the script to either of those films. He's not that kind of director.

It's really weird how dedicated some of you are to saying the new Star Wars is bad even though everyone loves it.

Kylo Ren is a great villain, not because he is great, but because it's surprisingly down to earth to have the bad guy just be a lovely rear end in a top hat with anger management problems who rebelled against his rebel parents way too hard.

I love Hannibal Lector and Darth Vader as much as the next person, but I also like it when a bad guy isn't as romanticized and put on a pedestal.

The fact that Kylo puts Vader on a pedestal and wants to be him is pretty great. "Hitler was really cool, you guys!"
