I always hear that. I couldn't get more than 30 seconds into the movie

Episode 8 made me unable to watch the movies. But Episode 7 killed Star wars for me though - when it came down our entire department took a half day to go together

I'll never forget walking out of that theatre, the people who only kinda liked it were happy, the guy who memorized wookepedia was disappointed, then I shared a look with my team lead, who has been a diehard fan since the originals, he's a big old school nerd.

We just shared a look of despair and loss, something we loved died that day. We'd both extensively read the extended universe, and we'd talk about it frequently. I don't think we ever brought up Star wars again after that day
