Broccoli and Wilson are 100% to blame for SP. They have the final say. If they don't, they have given up that power and authority over the direction of the series. If Purvis and Wade are bad writers, then its the ones who pay their wages who have to…

Fun article which broadens out the problems we have discussed involving NTTD and the continuing story arc. http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20200430-star-wars-why-the-empire-strikes-back-is-overrated It basically says that Empire started the f…

When I said I was 'irked' I didn't mean I was hurt. I just meant I didn't like it and wouldn't have included it if I had the choice. I think the comments about FYEO are off. I haven't said things have to stay the same, I have repeatedly made clea…

I am not upset about any of this. Literally none of it bothers me at all. It's a bit rich to chide me for commenting on films I enjoy on a space dedicated for that purpose. It's not like I am in Speakers Corner on a milk crate! I am just giving e…
