It's got issues but it's one of the best Star Wars movies. yeah, i liked solo well enough. i wonder if i just like the idea of star wars but maybe not everything that comes out of it, and that's alright. i haven't seen the new movie yet but i liked the first one, had mixed feelings on the second one. the mandalorian was actually pretty great because i think it took the idea of what star wars was supposed to be like and put it in a show. and it just seemed like it could have come out in 1986. i think star wars is an idea and a feeling, it's a concept. and some of this stuff captures it and some of it doesn't, and you can include whatever as hits or misses.

I know how they can make the next star wars movie a success. Disney Executive: "Rich Evans is the key to all this, if we get Rich working. 'Cause he's a more likeable character than we've ever had in the new movies..."

Chomp8645 posted:I respect your argument. I think our slightly different rankings can live in peace together. Probably not this one, though. IV > V > VIII > VII > III > RO > VI > S > II > IX > I > CW Apart from the throne scene, I don't think VI really a very good movie at all, and most of its success comes from not loving up what V set up rather than through any merit of its own. As a conclusion to the original trilogy it probably deserves better, but as a movie in its own right I stand by my rankings.

Moola posted:Someone who admits to liking tlj really has no business talking about taste TLJ's a good movie overall, but it definitely has problems. The key one being Holdo not giving a ship full of panicking survivors anything to go on and letting them fall into thinking they had no plan for no good reason. Solo's a competently-made film on a technical level (decent acting, great setpieces and cinematography), but it falls over as a whole when you realize the script is literally just a checklist of everything Solo said or bragged about in A New Hope. It's still a fun dumb popcorn flick though. You can run through Solo's plot as a literal list of "Here's where Solo..."
Also the Darth Maul reveal at the end is just dumb. As for Rise of Skywalker... oh god that movie hurt. That movie huuuurt. It's an exhausting and tedious two-and-a-half hour trainwreck that just rehashes Empire and Return of the Jedi. I could bring myself to watch Attack of the Clones again and switch off my brain, I just don't have it in me to even consider watching Rise of Skywalker a second time.

Having rewatched all the movies in the machete order before Rise of Skywalker I think people are underestimating just how poo poo the prequels really are Like yes some of the designs are cool, and that's about it The dialogue and delivery is just absolutely atrocious and sucks all plausibility and possible investment in the plot out Padme becomes an absolutely pathetic wallflower stripped of all agency and attack of the clones is indicative of Lucas's extremely troubling interpretation of what constitutes an apparently consensual and romantic love blossoming. His fall during III is so loving laughably handled that it robs any credibility from the final act. And then massive great chunks of the films are bad cgi turd smeared all over the screen. The new trilogy evidently has many many problems but at least you have a bunch of actors with actual charisma trying to act decently at the middle of it, even if half of what they're made to say or do is nonsensical bollocks

The Leia scenes are just three actors whose entire job in the film is to try and make random soundbites make sense, and it's so determined to beeline through the main plot points of Empire and Jedi that you'll see the big 'surprise' reveal coming way before it's supposed to be a shocking revelation. Palpatine wants her alive... we're ripping of Empire Strikes ba...  . It does have one or two good scenes, I legitimately like Kylo Ren's "death" and the moment with Han, that deserved to be in a MUCH better movie, but the whole of it is just flat bad.

Also the race ruled I'll be honest, Ep 3 could have been the best movie ever until Vader went "nooooooo" and it still would have sank the entire thing, what the gently caress. George Lucas stumbled backwards and blindly into the most badass villain in movie history and he had to go make three movies about what a whiny bitch he was.

Aotc is by far the worst SW movie. The holiday special is more watchable. Also, I was all confused at The Mandalorian timelime because everybody kept calling that baby yoda, yoda. Yoda is dead.

Butterfly Valley posted:Do this and post a trip report I spent most of Rise of Skywalker just mind-boggled at how badly put together it is. It blatantly just walks through two prior Star Wars movies, and the climax might as well be JJ Abrams banging toys together for how stupid it gets. At no point in the film did I feel engaged or like I was enjoying it, and the Leia scenes were literally painful to watch. Dominic Monoghan, Greg Grunberg, and Kelly Marie Tran deserved far better than to be the Stall-For-Time Leia Players, trying to take random snippets of cut dialogue and bend over backwards to carry a scene based on them multiple times throughout the film. For no good reason other than "We gotta have Leia in the movie at all costs!!", even though it caps off with literally "I must go; My You can also juuuust about hear JJ Abrams repeatedly petulantly screaming "NUH-UHHHHH!!" every time he vindictively retconned back something Rian Johnson (quite rightfully) broke or changed.
