[member="Landsknechte"] I know, I too was hoping he would talk more about Episode VII itself. I actually disliked the movie more than he did. He wasn't bothered by the overt social justice/pozz narrative, I was. His criticisms were mainly about how shamelessly derivative the movie was.
I understand why he spent so much time talking about the franchise as a whole, though, because it directly relates to how Disney is pursuing Star Wars in the future. The "Marvelization" of Star Wars, which is what I like to call it, is a real thing. Expect a new Star Wars movie pretty much every year from now until the end of time, I guess. At this point I wouldn't be surprised at all if they eventually come out with a sequel-sequel trilogy (Episodes X, XI, and XII) someday. In fact it's almost guaranteed to happen.
There are definitely a lot of criticisms to be had about the way they make movies now, because it sucks.
