Do not read this if you haven't watched it yet!
Your point is very valid and I had the same question.

Reading Randalls review I thought of something. Him, James and me are all conservatives, and freedom has been knee deep in liberalism for as long as I can remember. I wonder if those could be traits when it comes to how people respond to the movie, because TFA is certainly "progressive" on a lot of levels.
Edit: Sorry about that. Thought I was writing a spoiler free review, but broad strokes can of course be a spoiler too.

I'm not sure what it has to do with it either, just struck me. If it does I would imagine having to do with the mind set of wanting things preserved vs. venturing into the new, sometimes recklessly. This film definitely put me to the test in terms of what I'm used to seeing.

I don't see what political position has to do with one's enjoyment of Star Wars.

Well, in terms of politics having an effect, I am pretty conservative in my personal choices, just not my political views. But I dont think it has much to do with it. I don't not any serious conservative/liberal divide in something like this. This is freedom vs. tyranny (and not in the sense that cons and libs accuse each other of being...REAL tyranny). This is the same reason Jefferson and Adams could both sign the Declaration of Independence, and then end up as political rivals in different parties. In other words, don't miss the larger ideological forest for the trees...conservatism and liberalism are close cousins, ideologically, both are rooted in the same basic assumptions of a largely free society and economy, which marks them as quite different from something more fully socialistic, fascist, communal, or authoritarian.

This film sounds like a shit sandwich but that bit is intriguing. Is the device similar to a theoretical Dyson Sphere?
All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.
Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.

Not really, based on what little I saw in Star Trek TNG.

Good review. I'll add it to the top of the mountain of " It didn't spectacularly suck like the prequels!" reviews.

I wonder what 2015 Harrison made compared to adjusted 1977 dollars Harrison. And anyone making the Ford v. Fisher gender gap comparison is a fool. Harrison Ford has been a major draw for decades whereas Carrie Fisher has been doing smaller roles, cameos, etc.
