The prequels are not good. But I can't honestly say I enjoyed them less than the sequel trilogy.
One thing I've noticed is that the sequels actually end up causing me more displeasure outside of the films themselves. I rewatched the original trilogy recently and I couldn't help but enjoy them less with the knowledge that it's all pointless. The victories they've won won't matter in the sequels, and all the heroes are going to die miserably. It's really hard to watch the ending to Return of the Jedi with any sense of hope knowing that now the First Order is going to rise and destroy all the peace that everyone fought so hard for, that Han and Leia are going to give birth to a mass murderer and end up bitter and separated, and that nearly all the new Jedi are going to be purged again. It just makes me fucking depressed now. What a galaxy of misery. --- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu That you're a cheater. This is a 12-sided die. Chan ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think the text write up Tycho did alongside that PA comic is a really good summation about how I feel about the whole thing.
Here it is: I think Im gonna end up seeing Rise of Skywalker on an airplane at some point, on the back of the seat in front of me. Thats about my interest level. There were inklings of it in the first movie, if you want to go back that far, but it really seems like the new trilogy wasnt conceived of as a trilogy at all. Its genuinely hard to believe. And not just because of what Disney managed to accomplish with their Marvel project, making an ecosystem of movies in different genres and then somehow crafting a kind of metamovie to conclude it. Obviously, they can do it. That they didnt - and that they expected us to go along with it - is incredible. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG ...

TROS is a strange movie to talk about. My thoughts after seeing twice have been that it is an incredibly *watchable* movielightning pacing, fun action, some humorbut if you hold it up to any scrutiny at all, the whole thing comes crashing down. Star Wars movies have always meant to be fun romps, but TROS takes that to such a degree that you cant even take away any sort of message or morsel of deeper meaning from it all, because its sort of unconcerned with being anything else but a ride. The worst thing it did was make Rey a conduit for twists and audience winking instead of building on the great stuff The Last Jedi laid out. Well, that, or totally failing to land the idea of the Force Dyad in the last battle by just making Kylo sort of irrelevant? God, its so frustrating when you even just scratch the surface of anything they did!
But its still better than any of the prequelsand TFA and TLJ were legitimately great! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can't really distinguish the prequels anymore, I'd have to watch them again to give a fair assessment of which is "better" than the others... and watching them is not something I want to do. also my favorite thing about rogue one is that it didn't feel like a star wars movie, so my opinions may not accurately reflect what a 'star wars fan' actually believes. --- now I only see your dull imposter https://imgur.com/BYYr6fn ...

I read every word of the second Thrawn book out loud to newborn Jacob while he sat and stared at me. It was the first book I read to him!
Shame it was that one and not one of the other two. I tried reading him the third one but by then he was at the age where he wanted to grab the book and would get bored and crawl away. Oh well. --- I'm not sure who this MI guy is but he sounds sexy. ... Copied to Clipboard!

He makes a lot of good points. Specifically the part about Rose and yeah, Disney basically catered to the worst part of the fanbase with this movie and it's very upsetting. If they had just stuck with what the Last Jedi set up they could have both pleased fans and redeemed that movie for the (sane) people that didn't like it. Instead they tried to play it safe which ultimately made things worse. It's so damn disappointing. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I only watched the first new movie and nothing else, and I am in no way a Star Wars fan (I am literally just a Boba Fett fan honestly just give me more Boba Fett somehow), but I find this whole breakdown of the fandom to be pretty unfortunate. Even though I have no investment in this franchise, I find it sad that it's devolved into this giant battlegrounds it's become and I wish that Disney could have created movies that would have pleased everyone.
To me, it seems like the problem starts with that Kathleen Kennedy and the fact that they made a trilogy without any sort of plan in mind. Like, you don't have a plan for a giant story for your trilogy for the biggest IP get you could possibly receive, and as a result it's a fucking mess. Why are people putting so much investment and care into it when even Disney and those in charge of this didn't put any care into these movies? I feel that even those who disagree on the movies could at the very least agree that Disney totally screwed up here in a way that is just embarrassing for a company that did spectacularly well with Marvel. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! ...
