I wanna see an evil Jedi use the force more inventively and rip a random mooks heart out. Or crush C3PO and R2D2 into a cube of wailing scrap metal.

Nah, Return of the Jedi is totally the peak Star Wars. No other Star Wars is more Star Wars than it is. You have a hero wavering in his trust in his friends, mission, and beliefs, another massive super weapon, the ultra bizarre Sarlacc scene and the hilarious battle with R2-D2 throwing Luke his lightsaber, Princess Leia in a metal bikini, Force ghosts, Ewoks, Ewoks killing Stormtroopers, an intense battle where Luke cuts off Vader's hand and refuses to kill his father. It has everything and is the most Star Wars.

The droid army in 1 was described as "battle hardened". They were veterans. What kind of
war could those pieces of poo poo survive?

I assume they were slaughtering local militias and civilians

The cases where two well trained and equipped militaries actually fight each other are extremely rare. And even thrn usually they got trained by putting down rebellions or subjugating peasants

Did the original trilogy ever talk about Jedi not being allowed to sex each other up or is that just a dumb thing that got added later for some minor plot convenience?

The original trilogy doesnt really go into what the jedi stood for, its just yoda and obi wan desperately trying to get luke to kill darth vader.

This is true too. Lucas chose to tell a story in the prequels that makes the behavior of the Jedi in the original movies seem really suspicious and hypocritical. Yoda trains Luke to kill Sheev and Vader while also telling Luke that war is bad and he should be passive and nonviolent, which turns out to be good advice in Luke’s case, but around the time Luke was born Yoda himself was a mad oval office army commander flipping around killing people with a sword.

It's almost as if George Lucas has no idea what made Star Wars good: A simple hero defeats the evil dudes story with lots of cheesy sci-fi window dressing like fun, super weird aliens, sarcastic dialogue, cool laser swords and blaster battles, and spacecrafts that look rad and make awesome noises and shoot each other.

Which led Lucas to believe the prequels should have trade disputes, a burgeoning romance between a 9 year old boy and a 14 year old girl who is a princess or something, a racist minstrel caricature who acts and moves like he's from Looney Tunes, Yoda jumping around with a lightsaber like a video game character on speed, and dialogue about how sand is bad, I guess?????

It's dogshit because Abrams just did a Find Replace on the ANH script and most of the film is littered with stuff that doesn't pay off. Why is Luke Gone? Watch the next film. Why does the lightsaber call to Rey? Find out later! How the gently caress dod space nazis get huge again and whats with Rey's parentage?! Fabulous secrets will be revealed... at some point.

Like the best part is Kylo Ren storming out the gate with force badassery and then being a petulant child that gets beat.

The only thing wrong with The Last Jedi is that Rian Johnson had to spend so much time tearing down all the terrible poo poo JJ Abrams set up, he ran out of time to add anything new.

Also Solo was a great space western ruined by turbo nerds pushed to the brink of suicide because the Millennium Falcon looked different. The IT dorks hugging it out at the water fountain scared off normal people.

I was being a little hyperbolic. Yoda burning down the Jedi church as a joke was one of my favorite cinema moments ever.

*And yeah, everyone including Mark Hamill being all like "That's not my Luke" Apparently never saw episodes 4-6.
