Disney managed to make one Star Wars movie I like. That hasn't happened since 1983

The Mandalorian was the 1st Star Wars media I've enjoyed in a really long time tbh

If it wasn't for The Mandalorian, i'd say C. It's such a great show though, and it's amazing for the Star Wars universe. If they start bringing in characters from Rebels and go that direction, it can be something special for many seasons. Give me live action Ezra and Chopper dammit.

As someone with zero investment in the franchise, I feel like Disney will be a net positive for fans. Sure the movies are apparently garbage, but they're pumping a shitload of money into the shows and that bodes well if they're all as good as the Mandalorian.

Nope. Disney literally revived the franchise. Think what you will about the sequels but now star wars has life again. And for the record I maintain that the ST is still better than the PT.

The guy that made episode 8 is what sucked. If Abrams had made the entire trilogy it would flow better. Episode 8 was like someone tripping you in the middle of a race before you regain your footing and finish

I see where you're coming from, but JJ didn't really regain his footing after being tripped. Dude faceplanted into a thornbush.

And he started off at a brisk walk.

People seem to like Revenge of the Sith but I just dont think theyve watched it recently. Order 66 is good. But damn is the entire movie full of cringey dialogue poor character decisions and is just all around bad. And its the best of the 3 Prequels

Id take the Mandalorian over that any day. Also Bad Batch is alright

D.

The worst thing is Lucas meddling and awful edits to the classics, erasing the originals(or trying to).

The sequels, as I discovered later, were always destined to be awful, judging by Lucas original concept for them, and Disney's unified formula to make blockbusters.

Maybe? I kind of feel like a sequel trilogy would have ended up sucking regardless. Especially after hearing George Lucas's idea for it.

Anything with an actual direction would have been an improvement though.

Mandalorian makes me realize that staying away from the plot of the old movies and doing something else that happens to be set in the same world is the way to go.

The show is good, builds on the world, but was much better before they tried squeezing existing characters into it. Just let it be it's own thing.

yes, while some of the spin off stuff was good (mainly The Mandalorian), it doesn't make up for the catastrophe that the Sequel Trilogy is. I would rather have a good main trilogy than some hit or miss spin offs.

I think the bad done by Disney outweighs the bad of the prequels. I'd rather have three bad films with good ideas, than one good film and two bad ones with no ideas.

Star Wars is a self-eating zombie now, cashing in constantly on good will for a past glory that is rapidly fading.

That's like saying a punch to the head is better then a punch to the balls, pretty low bar.

What was the franchise even doing before Disney bought them? It had been 7 years since there was a major theatrical release when the franchise was sold. Disney has been more miss than hit with their movies and TV shows, but they are at least doing something with it.

the PT and OT together at least tells an interesting story that isn't a complete convoluted mess where you can tell that nobody knew where they were going with anything.

Deny.

They've done some done things, but we've got some good and mediocre as well. I don't really look at it as all the bad taking away from the few good things, and basically we wouldn't have gotten any new Star Wars otherwise probably.

But hey I'm a very casual fan that doesn't really get that worked up because some dumb movies are made.

'Hey so i killed off the overlord villian you introduced in your movie and left him without a backstory, ruined Luke Skywalker as a character and what made him great in the OT and killed him in the end, created a character that would have saved half of the plot's danger if they had told Poe, included a scene with Leia where she flies through space because I thought itd be great, and made most of the characters completely unlikeable. Yep i think ive wrapped it nicely for you to finish the story '

Disney should have followed George Lucas' sequel trilogy plans. I wouldn't care what they did with the franchise afterwards because at least the true skywalker saga would be complete. They could adapted the EU like what they did with MCU, or they could bring back dead characters, or even crossover with mickey mouse/Marvel/Alien/Fortnite.
