I can say one good thing about the new Star Wars movies:

Vehicles, trooper designs, weapons, and locales- all of those things are superior to everything we got in the Prequels.

I don't agree. The prequels had some amazing design work. The new ones have... slightly modified original trilogy stuff.
I remember seeing the X-wing game miniatures before I saw the TFA. The color swapped Ties just made me laugh, as its the only noticeable difference, black body and grey panels.

And the upcoming new stuff is just the old stuff but red. Yay.

Agreed on some of the prequel designs, the Chrome bananas are a thing of beauty for example. Though the sequels are introducing some new stuff along with the rehashes, the res. bomber and TIE dagger for example, whether they are good or not is a different thing (I really dislike them... but the new A-Wing is lovely).

The newer variants of TIE fighter are sleek and nice. And I was a fan of the First Order attire. Well, everyone but Phasma. You'd think they'd be a bit more creative with the 'elite trooper' and do more than "make her chrome and give her a cape". FFS, contact the people who made SWTOR and ask for some Republic Trooper designs and go with that, you uninspired hucksters.

still could have been worse the IoM makes you give up your helm if you want fancy armour and/or a cloak

You guys are missing out. Walking out of a film and demanding one’s money back is one of life’s most smugtacular pleasures. I’ll never forget the time my entire family, each less discerning from the last, united with purpose, walked out of The Life Aquatic as one. Truly, an unshakeable bond was formed that day.

I did this with Freddy Got Fingered. I didn't ask for my money back, though. I felt like being optimistic over any "comedy" involving Tom Green was actually pretty stupid, and I deserved the obnoxious stupidity of the movie and the loss of a few bucks.

I don't know what happened to Tom Green. I won't say I hope he died, but I will say that I hope that if he did die- it hurt a LOT.

The movie would have been better had it not been for the baby scene.
