No matter what the heroes accomplish in any prequel series, we know it will all be undone by Palpatine. That's why prequels are utterly pointless and stupid. There are zero stakes. Yet we still don't know this current timeline's origins of the first Force users, nor do we know when the schism between the Dark and Light happens, or if the Sith were a large organization like the Jedi Order, or if they always started as the Rule of Two. Plenty of stuff for them to explore without involving Frank yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfatron Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) they should have used time travel for the last star wars movie. brought back Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Obi Wan, young Han, Boba Fett, Yoda, and CGI young Carrie Fisher And there could be a giant epic battle Edited July 6, 2020 by Malfatron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Third time watching The Last Jedi and it’s only better. I went in specifically trying to get in the mindset of hating it so I could hope for a sequel trilogy redo and I could not hate it. Canto scenes were pointless and uninspired, but Del Toro’s character was good. Leia’s force scene was bad. That’s it. Those are the only two aspects I can hate. The reason people hate it so much is because it was not what they WANTED or EXPECTED. Johnson tried to uproot and change the franchise so it wasn’t a cardboard cutout of every other thing Star Wars and y’all hated him for it. This should have been the way forward. Rey and Ren should have destroyed the Jedi. They should have destroyed the Sith. They should have made something new in the middle. The Jedi are too restrictive. The Sith are too compulsive. The Last Jedi was Star Wars at its most Libertarian and you all shot it down and I hate you for it. Star Wars, as proven by The Mandalorian, is not Jedi/Sith. There is so much more. It could have been so much more. You all killed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Stopped Rise of Skywalker about an hour into it. I just couldn’t take it anymore. Oh my God, I couldn’t take it anymore. Because I had to poop. Ate two cheeseburgers and two hot dogs earlier with a couple pickles and it caught up to me. Enjoying every minute of the movie so far. Some fans are literally nerds who cannot handle things not going their way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Rise of Skywalker had faults, but it was not a bad Star Wars movie. Ranking all of the canon Star Wars film and television would be something like: Solo Revenge of the Jedi. Attack of the Clones. The Phantom Menace Star Wars: Rebels The Clone Wars Rogue One Rise of Skywalker The Force Awakens The Mandalorian The Last Jedi Return of the Jedi A New Hope Empire Strikes Back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 My list (with best being at the top like a sane person) Empire Strikes Back A New Hope Return of the Jedi (still my favorite, the first movie I ever saw in theaters, the nostalgia is strong with this one) Revenge of the Sith Clone Wars Rebels The Mandalorian The Force Awakens The Last Jedi Rogue One Solo Rise of Skywalker The Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones Only Attack of the Clones do I really have any issues rewatching. So much botched with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hmmm I'd have to go 1. Empire 2. A New Hope 3. The Madalorian 4. The Last Jedi 5. Return of the Jedi 6. Rogue One 7. The Force Awakens 8. Rebels 9. Clone Wars 10. Revenge of the Sith 11. Rise of Skywalker 12. Solo 13. Attack of the clones 14. Phantom Menace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 This is what I posted in the other thread. I've since watched "The Mandalorian", so I inserted that accordingly. Still need to finish "Clone Wars" and watch "Rebels". 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. A New Hope 3. Return of the Jedi 4. Rogue One 5. Revenge of the Sith 6. The Last Jedi 7. "The Mandalorian" 8. The Force Awakens 9. The Phantom Menace 10. The Rise of Skywalker 11. Attack of the Clones 12. Solo The OT trilogy is king. Individually the sequel trilogy movies are better than the prequels, but I just rewatched everything before seeing RoS, and the prequel trilogy is a better watch from start to finish for me. The sequel trilogy is way too incoherent. The Last Jedi would be higher, but Rose/Canto Bight and RoS drop it a lot. Rogue One is up and down, but the last hour is the best hour of any movie so that vaults it up for me. Solo is pure meh. I have no desire to ever watch it again.

Not speaking to the response when it actually came out, but the reason I dislike TLJ now is mostly because they reversed and recanted a bunch of that movie in Rise of Skywalker. It is a really well made movie, the sequel trilogy is just missing a solid overall story line. Totally agree with the bolded. In hindsight, I actually like Luke becoming a recluse because he is taking what Yoda did but for different reasons - Yoda went into hiding to save the Jedi, and Luke goes into hiding to kill it, because he sees how flawed they are. I felt the same way you did when I saw Ep9 the first time, it was an entertaining movie. But I just don't love what they did with the story. It was like 2 movies in one, trying to make up for TLJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost identical tbh. I would probably re-arrange the last 4 a bit, and I still have not seen Solo. Phantom Menace and Clones are safely in my bottom 2 until I see Solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Solo is a lot of fun, you just need to go into it with no expectations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I didn't see it in theatres because I'm sure I would have hated it at the time, and also that I contributed to its horrible box office and making Disney reconsider what a lot of Star Wars fans actually want - NEW content Edited July 7, 2020 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
