My kids hate it, they are intelligent beings like their dad
The intelligent thing to do is have realistic expectations and gravitate to the things you like rather than sweat the stuff you dislike when it comes to optional entertainment.

Well, I don’t comment on entertainment I don’t know, however the movies I watched when I was young like Star Wars and Star Trek, Aliens and so on, do have a special place, so if I see them being ruined by impacils, I will speak up, like Mad Max and Ghost Busters, what a toe crunching pile of waste they were.
Maybe you liked them then because you were young. Aliens has gone to pieces so now I just don't bother with it till its on TV. The new Mad Max was great though.
Let's be honest, they were just much better than what we got now, most movies today are really bad, yes sadly Aliens went to the bin after A2, movie makers should remember that children are mostly with adults if they are older than 16, and we are paying to watch their movies.
Mad Max was not Mad Max, it was a weird experience and I didn't like it, even the first MM with all its flaws was much better than that one.
Tastes change over time. The best sci-fi I've seen recently has been indie projects/Netflix's own stuff. The mainstream stuff has always struggled the current special effects heavy garbage has always been how mainstream sci-fi stuff is really.
The Thing, Alien and Terminator were all surprise successes (maybe not the thing that took a while to be recognized) now regarded as classics. They were risky ventures that paid off in the end made relatively on the cheap (as was star wars).
Sci-fi just isn't mainstream so it needs to be Transformer movie style <spits> to get a whacking great budget.
I know this is a TV show, but GoT was/is a great Show, great story great acting and effects, so they can do it, the problem is that when they mess around with some of the old franchise they really are off tune most of the time. Who in their right mind would make a Ghostbuster with characters who got nothing to do with the original characters, and SW is an excellent example of how stupid hollywood can be.
I agree that indie movies are sometimes much better than the big budget movies, and I enjoy them myself a lot. However we can only shake our fist at the clouds, we don't have access to millions and we are just the consumers, but I will not finance their bad movies.
I have nothing against the new trilogy. They are far better then the prequal trilogy and just as silly and entertaining as the original trilogy. Seems people take these movies far too seriously. It's not like the original trilogy had great dialogue and story lines. They also had really stupid bit in them, but I think they are glossed over because we are fans.
It's like the last jedi, it had some stupid bits in which were just as stupid as some of empire which is my personal favourite.
Just because it doesn't have what you wanted in the movie doesn't mean it's bad.

Yes, it's their missionMy word....
This is going to stink even worse than the last awful outing. Ate they trying to kill the franchise on purpose?
well we still got this one...
I like GOT but I tend to skip chunks of the books when it gets dull, I'm the same with the TV series I can skip entire episodes and not really notice.

I'm not getting all nitpicking, but don't the Imps setup a blockade of Hoth, which is why they need to punch through it?
I don't think it's a case (at least for me) of 'because Disney' in the sense you describe there. More that they have total control, and are steering the franchise in a very 'paint by numbers' for success manner like they do with the Marvel movies and so quick to stamp out any deviation (as we saw with the Han Solo movies trainwreck of production), yet worse, For a paint by numbers franchise doing it in a manner with no overarching plot or character development (which you should really have in this day and age, particularly if you're intending on selling a movie as a trilogy).
Couple that with the usual hot potato of SJW nonsense (from both sides) and you're left with the mess we have now in terms of fractured angry fanbases.

I'm not being a sarcy prat, but how do you follow what's going on? Doesn't that leas to a lot of confusion?
When you know someone's a scheming traitor or whatever and spot the direction of the conversation you don't need to read pages of them pretending to be helpful so I skip to the end of the section missing no actual story. I find GRR Martins dialogue less than enthralling and sometimes it feels like filler stretched to fill pages. If I find myself lost I just skip back.
So people are now complaining that if Emp Palp is still alive that undoes Vaders redemption arc
I am hoping that it is not "physically still alive" but present "in the force" since there was also Luke's voice saying "... no-one is ever really gone".
... and that of course doesn't affect Vader's "redemption" since it showed him in spirit with Kenobi at the end of Return of the Jedi.

I think people are misinterpreting the end-trailor cackle. Palatine is dead - that laugh was clearly Ming the Merciless, so brace yourselves for an epic crossover finale-reboot.
Maybe the voice was Jar Jar the Sith.

I recal a fan theory from long ago regarding Emp Palp having the ability to move between bodies. He clones bodies, burns them out with his toxic presence and then needs to move on. One of the reasons why he latched onto the skywalker bloodline was that he wanted to possess a body that was strong enough to house him.
I think it turns out that Sidious created the skywalker bloodline with Anakin. We have no way to know if senator palpatine was the original individual or just another host for something else.
I hope its as camp as the 80's film.
