Finally finished all the main ones cause of Disney+.

V>>III>VI>IV>>II>>>VIII>VII>I>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>IX

Don't really enjoy Star Wars movies but OT is by far the best. If I had to throw in Solo and RO, Solo goes after Episode 2 and RO goes after VII. ST shouldn't even exist tbh....in my head it don't >_>

Prequel apologists continue to be the most baffling part about the sequel trilogy.

Here's my opinion on the sequels:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QP5XTFl4hw

Force Awakens is safe and good, Last Jedi tries to do something new and succeeds half the time and fails miserably the other half, Rise of Skywalker is safe and bad.

He totally wasn't tho, that's why I find it so frustrating

Just go with Kylo Ren as the main villain. Redeeming him is the worst move the ST made. I'm always puzzled when people say TLJ left them with nowhere to go, and it's like...no? Kylo is your main villain now. Do something drastic in the opening act (like, idk, kill Poe, or beat Rey one-on-one) to give him a bit more credibility. Easiest thing in the world. But no, we need the Emperor because ????

Because nostalgia is easy money and Kylo staying bad would have been too risky

Even though they literally had nothing to lose. They should have just gone all risk at that point and it would have turned out better. Instead they backtracked and made a much worse movie, also retroactively making the entire trilogy pretty bad overall. It's sad. Especially since Kylo deserved so so much better as he was easily the best character and his conclusion felt super cheap.

It's tough.

I'm one of those crazies who thinks episode VI is easily prequel trilogy tier. Basically everything in that movie other than the Luke/Vader stuff is horrendous. It's very obvious that the actual creator of Star Wars, Marcia, wasn't getting the input she should.

PT is all shit, but it's entertaining. There is enjoyment to be had in how bad it is, shouldn't that count? How much fun it is to watch? So Sonic 06 not a hilarious game? PT is the Sonic 06 of movie series.

ST is all.over the place. VII is dull, VIII is great but they fucked it up with IX which is an embarrassment. It's incredible how they squandered so much.

Even with the VI hate I have, it's still definitely the best. But second place....I don't know.

For the record, the complaints about the quality of the prequel trilogy are ridiculous. Star Wars is a serialized story. To give each episode at this point more weight than individual episodes of television shows is obnoxious. I can appreciate the dislike for Episode II as a purely transitionary film that is forced to rely on the emotional weight of an actor whose best work was as a whiny news reporter who didn't understand why fabricating stories was wrong, but come on.

Star Wars is good for a reason.

What Star Wars, like Star Trek, requires, is a more regularly-dispensed, serialized story under the purview of one creative visionary. This is why long-term RPG titles like KOTOR or book series like the Thrawn Trilogy work so well. Characters are given room to breathe and develop, guided through the process by one consistent tone and vision. The mistake with Star Wars is offering it as a movie series and a movie series only, and furthermore diluting the nature of the tale by hacking the series into individual pieces from different creators.

OT > PT > ST

PT just edges ST just enough for me. For one, it had an arc that made sense. ST just felt unnecessary and really shits on the OT more than anything, basically making this not a Skywalker saga and more of a Palpatine saga. Episode 8 ruined what 7 handed it and 9 suffers because of this. And 9 we didnt even get a cameo of the true chosen one (Anakin). Atleast PT gave us Obi wan, Darth Maul, and lightsaber battles. ST gave us Kylo Ren but totally wasted the idea of the Knights of Ren. Talking about it just annoys me.

I'll admit the ST movies were entertaining as stand alone movies for the action sequences but judging them as a whole and thinking about it as trilogy just rubs me the wrong way.

Why couldn't we get a struggle between the Emperor and Rey where the Emperor looks to have the upper hand even with force ghost Luke, Obi-Wan, and Yodo by her side... but then Anakin shows up. Why couldn't this happen. That would've made sense.

OT > ST > PT

It's pretty much a no-brainer that the OT is still the best set of films as the PT has TPM which is utter garbage and the ST has TRoS which is also a stinker. While RotJ is the weakest of the OT, it's miles better than the bookends of the saga.

Seems like they're all kinda scarred by the whole fiasco. Then again I guess that's what Star Wars does to its actors. Kelly Marie Tran got the worst of it I think.

Also I remember hearing Adam Driver accepted the role on the condition that Kylo Ren's character arc wouldn't be another Darth Vader. Welp.

star wars "saga" beated

yeahhhh RoS was... long... and I can hardly remember what I watched beyond how dumb it was, with a mix of rehashed scenarios and meta nods of "this is a star wars movie, we're ending the saga!"

which basically the essence of the ST, just doing Star Wars to milk its legacy without actually having any story to tell with it

I actually didn't think RoS would be this bad, I kinda thought maybe public opinions of it was just a tangled mess caught up in the feuding internet battleground where everyone's taken sides pretty much centered around TLJ so you can't really know what to go on... but ultimately yeah it's just a very long, boring, and silly film to a pointless extended saga.

ending notes: I laughed for a good few minutes at Ben's death scene. Will say though the ending was a nice closer at least.

I really don't know how to rank ST at all with how little I care about it

It was better in theaters after the kiss there were some fangirls nearby that squealed, and then immediately groaned in dismay as their ship sank. That was the best laugh I got out of the movie.

But no, we need the Emperor because ????

This, but I think people mean more in terms of stuff being set up in The Force Awakens and then just being jettisoned in The Last Jedi. Wasn't a fan of the latter but I liked the direction it was going. I must be the only one who didn't like TLJ who still thinks it deserved the good reviews it got (albeit mostly because that was such a bad year for film), and finds a good chunk of the backlash to carry undertones of racism and sexism.

So uh my SW ranking is...V > IV >= VI > VII > VIII > III > I >== IX >= II

Rogue One is about on par with III, and haven't seen Solo.
