Rogue one was actually pretty great because it felt more like someone writing a darker movie in the star wars universe rather than someone trying to make a traditional star wars movie

I dont get the love for Rogue One. I dont hate it, but its definitely my least favorite Star Wars movie.

I guess its cool if your favorite aspect of Star Wars is the battles? Im trying to think why people hold it in such high regard, and that is definitely where it excels.

But the characters are so bland and forgettable, except for K-2SO and maybe Jyn (but, really, its because shes hot af). I cant get that into a movie whose characters I dont care that much about.

Episode 8 is basically people bitching at each other for two hours. Also everything about the casino adventure was hella dumb.

But the space battles are the best for sure.

That's basically it. Yeah, the story and characters are both pretty mediocre, but the action scenes are sensational and the last battle is, in my opinion, probably the best one Star Wars has ever done.

I also appreciated Rogue One because it took some elements from the Original Trilogy and made them more intimidating by giving them a modern look. The Death Star's low-power blast on Jedha was amazing and the final scene in the hallways of the Raddus is my favourite in all of Star Wars and is worth the price of admission on its own.

Pretty much. The characters were indeed pretty one-dimensional and forgettable, but for a one-shot spinoff story about people who never get mentioned again in the series, I feel that's fine. Realistically, no other single Star Wars movie does all that much to flesh out its characters anyway, with most of the development happening on a series scale. As a movie about wacky space adventures and laser battles? It's excellent, and easily some of the best the series has to offer, and I loved that about it.

I especially liked Vader's appearance on the ship at the end. That's possibly the most intimidating he's ever looked, and the scene beautifully conveyed the fact that everyone on board was ****ed without being flashy or overdramatic (see: most of the PT) about it.

You're much more sensible than most I know or encountered who didn't like it, then.

I've met a lot of haters of the movie online within the past year who regularly resorted to shameless ad hominem attacks on people who said they liked it.

Not just that; I also saw a fight break out in the theater I went to [on the first airing night of the movie], just outside the auditorium showing the movie, after we all got out. A few people were so upset about TLJ's entire story that they decided to loudly make fun of others who were telling each other what they enjoyed about it, and then tried to shove them into nearby trash cans until security came by.

Some "fans" just feel way too entitled.

We live in a world where there are men who orgasm when a dominatrix stomps on their balls.

No matter how terrible something may be, someone, somewhere, will absolutely love it. No matter how insane everyone else thinks they are for doing so.

I agree with this except 2 belongs at the bottom. 1 was pretty bad in many respects but at least it gave us Darth Maul, Duel of the Fates, and the pod racing section was pretty cool. Episode 2 had a lot of boring politics, an R2D2 and C3PO action scene that no one asked for, and an extremely underwhelming CGI gladiator finale.

Also Solo belongs somewhere in with the prequels there. It wasn't awful so much as just really forgettable, which is a different kind of bad. I legitimately forgot I had seen it or that it had even been released until I saw the Honest Trailers video pop up in my suggested feed on Youtube.

Because most movies are standalone and sacrifice any sense of coherent plot or good acting. The reason Rogue One gets away with it is because Star Wars is so ingrained in pop culture that you already know the stakes and the major players/factions in the film before you buy the tickets. The constant action works because the plot is already established. It's not something most movies could do.

I forgot about Solo so I guess youre right about it being forgetful

Id put it between RotJ and TLJ

ESB > ANH > RotJ > RotS > RO > TLJ > TFA > AotC > Solo > TPA

In my opinion of course.

I will note I haven't watched a lot of these in a long time though (I haven't seen the prequels in over a decade).

ESB is legit amazing. I watched it for the first time in years shortly before TFA came out and I was amazed at how perfect it was. ANH is of course great too. RotJ and RotS are both good but have issues. Rogue One is fresh and new and just what I want from new Star Wars movies, even if it had problems. TLJ and TFA are good films but bad Star Wars sequels. AotC has some great set pieces and aspects to it but a nonsensical plot. Solo is fine, but forgettable and derivative. TPA was always my least favourite.
