I really do think it is a generational thing and really nothing more. They would not keep making them if the franchise wasn't making money.
It is no different to me than hating Sean Connery as Bond while others liked him, and me liking Moore. Even with those some were better than others sure, but again, it is still a business and they don't invest in long term losses.
I have no desire to see it even if the reviews come out as fantastic. I am simply stuck on the original 3 for a variety of reasons. Much of it as to do with movies in general relying too much on CG. I cant get into a movie if it looks too much like a video game.
I simply am having a laugh about Ron's acting history mixing it with the imagery of si fi.
I'm quite happy to take in Episode 8 on its own merits without making comparisons. I enjoyed Episode 7, Mary Sue Strikes Back .. or something like that. I'm there to be entertained. If there is any grumbling to be done I'll just wait until the film making lousiness rips the joy out of my cold dead heart. Until then I expect to be transported.
