One way I can tell TLJ has broken me is that I haven't watched it a second time. I usually watch movies like that two or more times, but I noped out of every chance I got to rewatch TLJ.

I cannot possibly imagine what would drive someone to watch Solo twice, with more rewatches in the cards.

I tried watching with the commentary and checked out around the time Luke milks the cow. I think I checked out of the documentary too around that time - they are building bridges on the island.

Same but it was rifftrax commentary (mst3k guys) and even that couldn't save it.

The 4k versions of the OT sure make it a lot easier to see how many fuckin dents are in the droids. Especially 3p0s rear end

E3, E5 and R1 are by far the best movies in SW. The worst are E1 and E2. i have a feeling E9 will be somewhere between E3 and E5. E4.

I would rate them 5, 4 / R1, 6, TFA, TLJ (I like them ok), Space Mutiny, 3, 1, some piece of poo poo, 2

2 remains unwatchably boring for me

1, 4, 5, 3, 6, 8, 7, 2. I'm with you on two, I like the idea of a space noir/costume drama/war movie more than the execution of it.

They're good for evaluating your child I would imagine. You have them watch, then eg ask if droids are people afterwards. If they answer wrong you can :sever:

Show them episodes 1 and 2, then ask, them queue up the end of 3 if they give the wrong answer while staring directly at them

I remember repeatedly reacting the scene where Jar Jar meets Obi and Qui Gon Jinn with the lego set. (found it: https://www.trademe.co.nz/toys-models/lego-building-toys/lego/other-sets/listing-2359480046.htm )
just again and again to my parents in Jar Jar's voice. Apparently I'd do it for hours every weekend and after school. I was obsessed with that scene, it was the coolest and funniest scene in all of Star Wars.

You know, depending on how you think Jawas work, I can think of one that has at least no organic eyes directly depicted: Star Wars Droidworks, the (amazingly quality) late-90s edutainment game.

Milk's on them.


Based on what I can find on Youtube there really aren't any Episode 4+ space battles outside of Yarvin, Scarif, and Endor worth paying attention to. For some reason, I felt like there were a lot more space battles in this series than there actually are.

I wonder if Battlefront II was ever any good.

EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't limit myself to space specifically. I just want to see all the ships fighting.

I’m on the train and a kid sitting in front of me is reading the novelization of Episode II. Should I shake him by the shoulders and tell him not to go down this dangerous road?

Lampsacus

Apparently the novelization isn't bad. Lots of extra scenes and fleshing out the weak points of the characterization.

Also, after trawling the goodreads reviews of the book, somebody was talking about the imax version of e2. How cool would have that been?! Did anyone see it?

Dunno if this survived the canon change but in the old EU they would always say hells (because corellia had a myth of dante's inferno style layers of hell IIRC). There was nothing more annoying than everyone saying drat you to the hells and stuff like that constantly

Jabba was originally a human being before they made him a slug.
