Obsessions that were kindled in my youth are hard to break. But it feels like I've crossed that thin line between love and hate.
I still cherish and adore the OT. But every little scrap of info about the new stuff makes me angrier. I'm not begrudging anyone their opinions. Everyone has a right to enjoy this stuff. But for me I guess it's just sitting back in disbelief into how far it's devolved. How heartless it all is.

Go to Burbank, CA with 400 pounds of TNT strapped to you and demand that Disney relinquish their $4,000,000,000,000 investment.

I saw this picture in some "Making - of" book back when I was 6. Its the sword master that stood in for Vader during the Cloud City duel.
Back then in my childhood mind, I thought that this literally was a picture of Darth Vader unmasked. And from then on until I saw ROTJ pictured him like this.
Then when I was a little bit older and started wondering about what Anakin was like before he became Vader, the thought that first popped into my head (and still sticks as what Vader should have been like) was something closely resembling Jamie Lannister from Game of Thrones.
Then the prequels came out and completely destroyed this image by turning Anakin into an awkward and whiney man child. Even today I cannot fully connect the two characters in my mind.

They look lame as hell.
They're featured in worse movies, but these are the superior looking bros.

Top pick looks like a much older anakin.
When I was wee, I always thought Anakin would have a moustache and goatee because the mask has them -- like a dark Errol Flynn kind of look, classic black knight.
Instead, in 1983 I got eyebrows! Big eyebrows.

Love that samurai look.
Lucas should've went full Kurosawa.
The Force Awakens should have featured TIE Interceptors. They were an evolutionary upgrade that featured quad laser cannons at the four front tips of their wings (similar to an X-Wing) and were supposed to be much faster than standard TIE's.
Why would the First Order abandon them? I know that Abrams wanted every single silhouette in the movie to harken back to ANH but we could have had the best of both worlds. Special Forces TIE's with rear gunners supplementing waves of Interceptors. And Starkiller Base should have had more aerodynamic atmospheric TIE's like what we saw on Scarif.
From RO to ROTJ both the Rebels and the Empire have new and setting-specific ships across all four films. TFA stands out as having neither when in fact after 32 years you'd think it would have had the most dramatic upgrades of all.

i'm sure we'll see more OT designs in the next movies.

That is a cool look for sure.

We may see different designs in Ep VIII.

TIE Interceptors are my favorite Imperial fighter.
It would have been awesome to see them on the big screen again.
