[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 7705746, member: 31754"] Something that has unfortunately become more prominent in today's age is the idea that what you think is so obviously true that everyone else must agree with you. So when someone says they think it is not true they are lying and secretly just hate it. This is of course ridiculous. So no, the writer, directory, producer, etc. of the Force Awakens does not hate Star Wars. They just have a different opinion of where the Star Wars story should go after the original trilogy. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that everyone else agrees with you. Many people love the new movie, including many die-hard Star Wars fans. So stop and think about it. What is more likely? Is it more likely that many people just have a different opinion? Or is it more likely that your opinion is so obviously correct that everyone who says they like the movie actually secretly hates it and are all just lying? For the record I really like the Force Awakens and like the way it is going. It most certainly did not "destroy" the original trilogy. I also read the Heir to the Empire trilogy and found it to be pretty mediocre. I know Thrawn was supposed to be some genius military tactician, but he certainly didn't act that way in the books. Honestly both the new movie and the books start with the same premise. The Imperial fleet is still out there and they aren't going to just surrender. Whereas the books have Thrawn and his fleet, the Force Awakens has the First Order. Of the two I prefer the First Order. Certainly the First Order was more successful in their opening gambit than Thrawn was in his. Even if they lost their big weapon in the counter strike. All this is IMHO of course. So yeah. Main point is that just because you don't like the way the new Star Wars stories are going doesn't mean that those that do like it (including the people writing it) hate Star Wars. It is just a difference of opinion between people who all love Star Wars. [/QUOTE]
