People stood up and cheered in my theater for that.

That's kind of when I stopped caring what other people think about movies.

There are two kinds of star wars fans.

First kind: cares about consistency of plot and character

Second kind: dude it's all a fantasy, why do you care so much lol, hey look laser sword go buzz lol

There's a third kind who just enjoy star wars as works of art. It's ridiculous to care about consistency when the writers don't

That would be the second kind.

That's why i don't go to theatres anymore. People really need to be superfans and excited and show their excitement and be more excited than other people.
I saw some videos where people freaked the fuck out while watching engame, and people were so happy to be there for it. To me it looked like an absolute painful experience.
