Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode VII - Han & Chewbacca Collectible Figure
I loved TFA when it came out. I'm as susceptible to the nostalgia and hype as the next nerd. Now, I don't hate it. But I guess it comes as no surprise that the shock and awe of new Star Wars has worn off. I'm an adult, the film was a money-making machine with some cynical decisions, yet it still had some magical moments. Do I remember it well? Not so much. And nor should I, you can't go back in time to being a kid.
I don't have a problem with it, I just don't love it. It's like someone you enjoy sleeping with but you're never going to have a relationship with them.
I simply blame JJ, Kennedy, Ford, Iger and anyone else that signed off on him getting killed off. I never truly understood Kylo, so I never really felt anything for him. I actually enjoyed his character til he took off his helmet then it went downhill from there. It all goes back to story and as awful as it was, it's hard to care for anyone in that movie.
