This is getting out of hand! Now there are more than 3 of them!

I really loved that one character has a French accent, because he's from the planet France.

I'm ok with all of the stupid stuff except for that scene. It's Star Wars, it's fine to be stupid, but "my name is Han and I'm here by myself" crossed the line.

Honestly, if it was a sci-fi heist movie that was unrelated to Star Wars, I think people would have liked it a lot.

Couldn't disagree more. You'd miss out on such bangers as "Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist."

Rogue One is how you do two acts of slow burn, followed by a third act that gives you payoff for your patience.

The first season of Picard is exactly how not to do that.

Andor is the kind of show where I would literally recommend it to someone who hates Star Wars. It's just such an incredibly raw, powerful, and vital piece of media. One of the finest works of anti-fascist art I've seen in a long time.

Anyone who hasn't watched that show is robbing themselves. Moments like "one way out" and Luthen's "sacrifice" monologue are going to live with me for a long time. Season 2 can't come soon enough.

Also B2EMO is the best droid in all of Star Wars (Fun fact; his voice is the puppeteer's, but it wasn't supposed to be. They were planning to overdub, but then the guy did such an amazing job on the set that they just gave him the role).

Honestly, fair (and I say that as someone who is a huge, huge, HUGE fan of Andor). Like, if you're looking for some cheesy fun science fantasy schlock about space wizards, do not watch that show.

I thought they did really well on coming up with new characters, and original stories, I enjoyed most of their arcs and adventures in 7.

The biggest death Star was the biggest letdown of that movie for sure.

But hoo boy, after I watched nine, my irritation at the laziness of a bigger death Star is nearly insignificant compared to some of the plot points in 9.

When I saw the starkiller I rolled my eyes, but I literally could have walked out during 9 from

I was already bummed out at eight that there was no Luke or character development for finn.

Then all of nine was pretty bad but especially the idiotic plot device mentioned above and a couple other things ruined that trilogy for me and definitely tarnished my enthusiasm for 7

Never watched 9 either. Or 3. Also, fuck Disney.

I was told not to watch the last season of GoT, and never did.

No regrets so far.

I'm very glad I never got into the game of thrones TV show.

I read the books, but I couldn't even handle the first season of the TV show.

Kind of feels the same way as never having joined titter and watching it circling the drain now.

What story threads? There were no story threads. There was hopeful fans who wanted to create things out of thin air. That's about it. There was more from 8 to lead off from than 7.

7 put Luke hiding on an island while a war was going on and left 8 to take the flak for explaining why. There was no way to make 8 without pissing people off.

Oh... soooooo say i've seen 8, but never got around to seeing 9... I should just chill and consider it done?

If you think 7 is good you are a hopeless movie watcher, it set up nothing just typical jj abrams mystery boxes, is a straight up rehashing of A new hope and it did nothing of note. 8 tried to deviate from another shadowy mysterious bad guy aka Wish.com palpatine and do something different and it did it well.

And then 9 is a straight up piece of shit the only good part of it is the first montage with Kylo Ten being the boss and fucking shit up, they really dropped the ball by backpedaling from 8

We could have had another trilogy centered around an established strong female character.

Mara Jade.

The character that could've broken the barrier against having older women do action would've been Princess Leia. And they were too gutless to have her do anything. She was in a coma for most of TLJ and hid in a bunker (too afraid to face her own son) for the rest of it. They say they make movies about strong women, but it's only if they're young. You can have older men do action, but they aren't going to have an older woman do action.

When they made Star Wars, Empire, and Return the special effects tech was garbage (clunky, expensive, and time consuming) so they had to rely on good story telling and practical effects

I'm curious, have you watched the original trilogy with the original practical effects, and not the crappy CGI that George added later?

I watched it in the theater as a teenager on initial release, and the Ewoks made me cringe. But at the start, seeing Luke as a mature badass was satisfying and exciting.

How that's bad? The bad thing is how quickly the guy decides that is all over and start murdering children.

You've gone two steps too far, my friend.

Star Wars goes from being a story about the power of the workers to a story about force royalty

The power of the workers? One of the leads from the first movie is a literal princess...

wasn't he already the chosen one by the force in the first movie?

I am assuming so as well. I don't remember exactly which movie he said, but it wouldn't make sense for it to be the second of three.

You're confusing over/under rated with popularity.

The saber choreography was lifeless and boring. It was all senseless flare.

Hell I'll say the sequel trilogy has better lightsaber choreography.

RotJ is where Lucas started to not have pushback on story ideas. It still mostly works but some silliness is leaking through. Especially in the Special Edition, but Empire is the only one that really wasn't effected by those.

Bilbo Bagshot : What about the Ewoks? They were rubbish! You don't complain about them!

Tim : Yeah, but Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like fucking Shaft!

I've always believed that the Star Wars universe needs a faction that is cognizant that the cycle of Jedi / Sith is irrational fanaticism of ideology and the force is ideologically neutral.

I have always believed the force is always meant not to be balanced via organization, but balanced per person, that the truth is light side and dark side are just concepts and bad conclusions based on centuries of orthodoxy.

They are, the dialogue is absolutely horrendous. There is a reason is has been memed to death.

That said young kids enjoy it. Sabers go wonwon, blasters go pew pew. And watch them go crazy for that pod race scene.

They are definitely more of an appeal to pathos. Unlike the sequels the prequels go from good to evil. It is a sad story plays out that ultimately leads into the sequels.

I can get chill and watch 5 of the 6. I refuse the jar jar movie. I heard his goddamn patois one time in theaters and it was more than enough.

I like the alternate order which mixes the two trilogies together: ep 4,5,2,3,6. No ep 1! boooooo!

That's illegal

Also why would I waste my time on something I don't want

That's why I hated empire strikes back. It was trying too hard to be edgy.
