My main issue with the kids is that even if you ignore the question of whether they looked right for Star Wars, they didn't look right for their role in the story. They looked like a bunch of rich kids riding around on shiny toys their parents bought for them. They can afford fancy cyber-mods, but we are supposed to feel sorry for them because they can't afford water?

As for them fitting into Star Wars, maybe you could have had them show up on Coruscant, and it would work, but they were so jarringly discordant with Tatooine It's disappointing, as I felt that The Mandalorian brought Tatooine back closer to the place it was in the original trilogy, but those kids fit in about as well as the commentators at the pod race.
 
Instead of having all these flashbacks they should have just started the show with “five years ago…” and then move back to present time.
I'm really starting to despise the current hot trend of flashback hopping in storytelling these days. The Stand was real bad for that. I was aching for just a regular, linear plot.

What in the hell is wrong with a story told in chronological order? These filmmakers are not Gaspar Noé.

...the hipster vespa gang. My wife snickered over them repeatedly. We couldn't help ourselves. We also thought that some other planet like Coruscant etc would have been a better fit then having them show up on Tatooine. I'm glad it wasn't just us who felt that way.
 
The Vespas should have been dinged up, missing parts and had bad paint jobs.
They shouldn't have been vespas. They felt slow, the jumps looked silly, and as many people have said, they looked like something a hipster would ride. All in all, everyone should have been dirtier.

Instead of having all these flashbacks they should have just started the show with “five years ago…” and then move back to present time.
It could be because the flashbacks are recognized as the best part, and if they'd started with it, they'd have nothing left after showing them.
 
What is this, a meme for ants? If I had beady little ant eyes, would I be able to read it?

I’m almost legally blind and I can read it.

Perhaps I can refer you to my ophthalmologist, Darth Plagueis the Wise.

His office address is not one the Jedi would tell you.
 
Do the people who make these things actually watch the movies? The name Skywalker is not mentioned by Ben, Owen, Beru or anyone else until Luke has left Tatooine and introduces himself to Leia on the Death Star.
So, just because it didn't come up in conversation on camera until that point, we're to assume that Luke picked that moment as the very first time to speak his surname aloud?

i’ve yet to see Episode 3, or any of the new stuff under Disney save Rogue One. It’s become a legend among my friends that I’ve never seen The Empire Strikes Back in its entirety, no matter how many times I tried.

So….kind of?

Luke went by Skywalker and he didn’t hide it because he didn’t know the connection to Vader. His aunt and uncle didn’t either. Owen sounded vaguely sinister when he replied “that’s what I’m afraid of” when Beru compared Luke to his father, but it was more being protective than anything else. They thought Anakin got killed by being a Jedi when he should have stayed on Tatooine. Owen was stalling the inevitable as long as possible and then the stormtroopers showed up at the farm.
