its pretty good, much better then the 3 prequels that Lucas directed himself, a lot more like the original first 3 films. a lot of plot points, creatures, and droids are "recycled" from those films. A lot of it seems very familiar.. but then that's what a lot of Star wars fans want to see. And of course it sets things up for the next couple movies...

That's actually good to know. I know many people who said the original three were the only good ones. I actually liked episode one. Still wasn't the same tho. And I certainly didn't think Disney would do any better. Still, I'll have to check it out when it hits blu ray.

That's why I'm not rushing to the theater to see it. I did that with episode 1 and since then, I haven't bothered. I'll pick it up cheap somewhere and see it just to see how it turned out. Can't be any worse than what happened to the Home Alone movies. First two were awesome. Last two have nothing to do with it and are pure junk.

I love Sci-Fi, but find star wars very boring. Wife loves them, we have them on tape,
and usually you have to let your mind run wild to follow some sci-fi's S-W just -


Lucas needs to join Walt having his head frozen for a few hundred years.....
wake him up after I'm gone for the next s-w film.....

Love some of the home made S-W crap people do on you tube though !

I thought it was a good film falling somewhere between the first 3 made and the more recent 'prequel trilogy'....Probably closer to the original 3.

A long-standing urban legend maintains that Disney was cryonically frozen, and that his frozen corpse was stored beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland,[163] but Disney's remains were cremated on December 17, 1966, and his ashes interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.[164] The first known human cryonic freezing was in January 1967, more than a month after Disney's death.[163] According to "at least one Disney publicist", as reported in the French magazine Ici Paris in 1969, the source of the rumor was a group of Disney Studio animators with "a bizarre sense of humor" who were playing a final prank on their late boss. Disney's daughter Diane wrote in 1972, "There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen. I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics.


As for not liking Star Wars, I've never heard of anyone e that didn't. Probably enough fans out there to start a whole new country. As for the homemade youtube junk, not worth watching.

I still haven't found enough time to see the original star wars

Hopefully someday. So many movies and so little time
It was funny to hear hillary end her debate with: "may the force be with you."

Don't wait for the DVD, read the book. It is far better than the movie!

Some of the things in film The Martian go against the laws of physics and disrupt the enjoyment of the movie.

The book seems both possible and plausible and builds suspense better!
