I didn't hate the force awakened, but I didn't think it was anything special either. It was basically a reboot of the original trilogy.
Rogue One was original material and superb.

I can't watch in 3-D, my strong prescription leads to thick enough lenses, another layer makes it hard to watch movies.
It was gorgeous in regular mode.

The lore is established in books and other media. This outing is not original in any aspect except that it was on the big screen. A movie worth seeing to be sure but that's where my opinion stops. The Force Awakens actually furthered the lore & story

Yeah.......it would be nice to have a movie without the death star in it......adventures of a Jedi that we don't know about yet.......a whole new series of movies with original stories would be great........they are doing a Han Solo movie...but he leads us right back to the Death Star and the same characters we have seen before...
I do not want to see Jabba the hut........I didn't like the character in Return of the Jedi...and I don't want to see him over and over again in the Han Solo movies...

Han Solo is an established character with an iconic actor playing his role. Muddying up his established persona with a new actor is a mistake imo

Right now canon is the 8 movies, and the Clone Wars and Rebels series.
Which is why so many people who are fans of the old expanded universe/now called legends material were pumped to see Grand Admiral Thrawn in Rebels.

I hated The Force Awakens because it actually diminished the original trilogy.
So at the end of Jedi, The Empire was defeated, Luke became a Jedi, and Leia and Han were together.
At the beginning of Force, thanks to all the cool stuff we didn't get to see...
Han and Leia split up after their kid turned to the Dark Side
The New Order became a slightly nastier version of the Empire that destroyed "the Republic", whatever that was.
Luke gave up on creating a new Jedi order and just went off to sulk and talk to Force Ghosts or somethings.. Because just giving up for decades and going into hiding is the Jedi way.
So why get all emotionally involved in the Original Trilogy if it could all be undone that easily. It seem that the universe was worse off for the Empire being toppled.

Bounty Hunters, we don't need their scum!
Only 1?!?!? You are tough one to please.
My great category:
Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One, New Hope, Return of the Jedi and Return of the Sith (l loved the full circle).
Overrated:
Force awakening
Not as bad as panned:
Attack of the Clones
Garbage:
Phantom Menace
Clone Wars

I saw it Saturday...visually outstanding...special effects and graphics.
Story line was a little broke up and didn't gel well I thought.
Compared to the other modern Star Wars...yes...better...Lucas can stay gone

I just saw it this weekend and it's arguable the best "Star Wars" episodes ever.
It's the STORY!!!! Not the special effects! The people and the STORY!!!
Fucking titanic movie that had me cheering and wiping tears away at the end.
Loved the Zaitoichi character.
The 2 writers Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy knocked it out of the park!
Director Gareth Edwards wasn't even born when the first Star Wars was in the theater
Can't even remember the last piece of crap remake before this one.

But here's the problem with that. The only reason why the story matters at all is because of what the characters who aren't there do in another movie.
If you had never, ever seen another Star Wars movie, ever, would you care what was going on here?
