Perhaps you could use the first part of your post to answer the second?

Yanbu to dislike it, neither do I. I recall seeing some people dressed to go to a convention and they were so excited I thought 'good for them'.

TabbyM · 04/05/2018 17:06

Ooh my people!

joins queue of pervy Kylo Ren fans

That Star Wars Day nonsense only really works in America where they say dates month first. Here it's 4th May.

You are BVU! Lordy what’s wrong with you? Grin

ALongHardWinter · 04/05/2018 17:24

I get a look like this Hmm when I say I have NEVER watched an entire Star Wars film.

Sabaisabai1234 · 04/05/2018 17:36

YANBU Star Wars is the most dismal, camp, limp sci-fi franchise going. As a sci-fi aficionado, I reject it at every level.

YABVVVVU
Star Wars is amazing

Not really. "AIBU not to like a film that lots of other people like?" No. YANBU at all.

"AIBU to object to some people identifying a particular date with a series of films they like?" Umm yes, YABU. It has no effect on you whatsoever.

Mrsfrumble · 04/05/2018 19:15

Eolian my comment was in reference to your "Oh and Kylo Ren? Seriously? Bleurgh!"

As in, "not everybody likes the same things, newsflash".

BonnieF · 04/05/2018 19:20

Phantom Menace is the only film I have ever walked out of having paid to watch it. It really was that bad. I get that it was a kids’ film, but it wasn’t even a good kids’ film.

Why adults watch Star Wars, I have no idea.

bananasplits50 · 04/05/2018 19:25

Bloody love it...not all the films are good I agree , favourites are probably Empire strikes Back and rogue one... May the 4th Be with you..... Smile

YANBU, my personal opinion is it's shit.

Pickleshickles · 04/05/2018 19:31

Kylo tho. Totally would.

BoneyBackJefferson · 04/05/2018 19:35

So OP what do you recommend?

Not going to say in case someone calls it shit?

Honeybooboo123 · 04/05/2018 19:35

You can keep Kylo Sulking Ren...

‘It’s a space opera mum - your old , you must remember the first one coming out? Sons are both huge fans.
‘No. I didn’t see it and I’ve never seen any of them. ‘ cue many a shocked look!
