OK, nerds...do'nt know if this has been posted, and it's a couple years old, but I thought most could appreciate it:

STAR WARS: THE FORCE ACCOUNTED

 

Ever since its 1977 cinematic debut, the Force has been strong in popular culture. People with only passing exposure to the Star Wars saga probably have at least a general notion of how the story’s mystical energy works: light sides and dark sides, wizard-like abilities over objects and minds, laser-beam swords. But who is the Force strongest with? And how has the balance between light and dark shifted throughout the series? In anticipation of “The Force Awakens,” we decided to find out by watching every minute of the first two trilogies to identify, measure, and categorize use of the Force. This was a delicate exercise, mainly because the Force is vague and entirely fictitious. But we’re confident in our findings—and if you search your feelings, we think you will be, too.

 

Good vs. Evil

Only 4 percent of the 805-minute Star Wars film canon, stretching from Episodes I through VI, involves clearly discernible Force use. The light side, domain of the noble Jedi warriors, accounts for the majority of Force screen time, in large part because there are more good guys and greater focus is placed on their actions. The light and dark sides are used simultaneously for less than a minute.

trailer has pretty much the same timing as Force awakens. ... seeing as force was a semi remake of a new hope this is a semi remake of empire, i guessing.

It better be better than Rogue One.

[Mr. Roboto]

Rogue One bored me to death. Boring characters, with exception of the droid, rehashed fight scenes....just blah. It did have awesome visuals though. 

 

What a let down.

 

I stopped half way through and cleaned my bathroom.

Anybody else seen it?

In general, yes.  I want to re-do my living room in Supreme Leader blood red hues.  A few things I'm nitpicky about, but they're minor.

Saw it. As good or better than Force Awakens.

God damn it AMM.

New STAR WARS better than previous 2. JJ was able to land this thing considering what Rian gave him to work with. Whole Disney Trilogy is kind of meh. Poor planning, 2 very different directors, and death of Carrie Fisher to blame.

[Mr. Roboto]

I'm bored with all of them. Maybe when I have more time one day I'll come back to this franchise and give it more of a chance. These days if something doesn't get me in the first 20, I just turn it off.
