Revenge Of The Sith is Top 3 Star Wars. Phantom Menace and Rise Of Skywalker are tied at the bottom for me (Phantom Menace looks nice and blows up the scope of the galaxy, but it fucks up at almost everything else). Attack Of The Clones is close to bottom of the barrel, but at least it's George hilariously unfiltered.

Grandpa Palpatine posted:You know what would have owned as a film, especially after TLJ? An entire installment dedicated to the arms industry and war profiteers, which was deffo being set up by the DJ plot. We didn't need the trilogy structure this time around. Pick up with taking on the FO in the fourth film or whatever. So many film series are doing away with the trilogy concept that it's not required to shackle oneself to it anymore. Of course Disney made the poor choice to release these stand-alone films in between the main ones so they had to deal with some fatigue, but it was entirely unnecessary. Dual Of The Fates' first draft (kinda) dealt with this. Really though had they decided to finish the saga on an Episode X once Trevorrow was canned, that would've felt way more complete. Honestly, there's so many threads unresolved (and accidentally created in a mad attempt at Rise unnecessarily trying to smash together 9 movies worth of poo poo) that a Threequel trilogy is kinda necessary to address it. Just, you know, wait at least full decade first. And plan the whole thing out this time you dumb fucks.

They are narratively inert, at times incoherent, and suffer from a fatal lack of imagination. I strain to think of a single truly original idea that emerged from the films. Idk TLJ is one of those movies that I accidentally end up watching all of whenever it's on TV.

Glottis posted:It's very frustrating that an imaginative property like Star Wars can be so beloved that it becomes a product crafted by focus groups and market research. It's the exact opposite of what happened with the prequels. They do that for the first one, they forgo it for the middle entry then go "Whoops! Our Bad" when fanboys get pissed at its direction instead of sticking to their guns and make the last one a reactionary focus-tested homunculus. The good thing at least is that now that the OT characters are out of the picture, they can pretty much do whatever they want without as extreme of a fear of push-back / excessive executive meddling.

Jewmanji posted:There's nothing remotely heretical or even schismatic about TLJ's understanding of Star Wars. This notion that Rise of Skywalker is some over-correction because Rian Johnson tried to do something bold is such a weird canard wholly unsupported by evidence. I personally can't find what it is that makes public opinions on TLJ so divided other than it's a Schrodinger's Cat of a movie. I liked that Holdo was basically an 80's anime character. I liked Punished Luke. I found flying Leia to be an awesome moment for her character. I liked the DJ stuff and thought it'd be interesting to follow up in IX how arms dealers have a roll. I liked the way the events in the film was structured and found it to really feel like a space "opera." I liked the new force powers, found the lightspeed kamikaze to be the most loving awesome sequence of the Disney-era, and dug the (unfortunately thrown away) concept that bloodlines don't equal unrivaled power. Hell, (for the most part) I even liked Rose. A lot of people hate the film for same reasons. That's alright too. But someone involved in the making of TROS must've rolled with the laundry list of takes online and concluded TLJ was two & a half hours of fandom heresy so they went "Let's not do this, let's do THIS instead" and brought JJ back to essentially complete his lesser-remake of the OT (and you could argue Snoke was initially just gonna be Palpatine 2.0, so why not not break what's not already broken but maybe worn to static by bringing back Palpatine... the safest and most goddamn pathetic option anyone could've come up with).

Make a movie about some people that are descended from Z. Put them all together LATER and it'll be fun. Give everyone some time to shine. Rogue One did well and those characters are explicitly dead. Cmon. I don't think copping the MCU method is the way to go (22 movies to build to an 'alright' story ejaculation is kinda something I never want to live through again), but having like the Mandelorian and maybe one more show build up to a new trilogy over the next decade would be cool.

I'm just thinking of all the tie-in poo poo that could've made bank if Dual Of The Fates was made... - Animated series in the 9-year time skip between TLJ & DotF - GAMES. Shooters/Platformers/RPGs/VR with Rey's double-bladed saber/Eclipse Destroyer simulator with inverted controls - Blind Rey/Nu-mask Kylo/General Finn/Saiyan armor Rose toys be flying off shelves - Additional Disney+ poo poo - Additional theme park poo poo Throwing all that out was literally the opposite of everything Yogurt stands for.

The more I think about it, the more that Mando finale (and this season) pisses me off. I loved season one, and there were 2 episodes this season (the Frog Lady & Bill Burr one) that opened the galaxy to more adventurous possibilities again; but with every single one of those moments comes some nonsense like Boba Fett being around and throwing him around like some Gen X-er's action figure instead of anything meaningful to his own story/the larger picture at hand, Ahsoka showing up for her "I can't take him" moment because gently caress you this is an ad for my own TV show, continuing to make Empire forces/Stormtroopers dumb as tenselessness poo poo just because it's the status quo and they have to beat the horse's corpse to paste, and LUKE SKYWALKER COMING THE gently caress OUT OF NOWHERE just because they either A). Wrote themselves into a corner and took the easy way out or B). See that TLJ whining is still alive and well and felt compelled to make those said complaining dude-bros shut the gently caress up by inversely having them add fuel to the fire by screaming The Mandalorian fixes TLJ by FINALLY giving us a scene where Luke loving slaughters guys like a loving BADASS loving JEDI WARRIOR, DUDE. That's what being a Jedi is all about : loving CUTTING GUYS UP. Crushing a motherfucker with the force. Absolutely tearing through platoons of guys and then wading through a knee deep slurry of their viscera, as laid out in the Sacred Jedi Texts. I never got that Darth Vader was supposed to be a scary guy in the OT until Rogue One showed me that he could actually loving BLAST SEVERAL DUDES IN A HALLWAY, and now Disney has done the same for Luke. Star Wars is in safe hands. This is the same poo poo as Ghost Luke catching the saber in TROS being like "A Jedi's weapon should be treated with ｒｅｓｐｅｃｔ れ゚ぃ." It's transparent what they're doing (or being lazy fucks in trying not to do) and I can see right through that poo poo. And in turn, it completely cheapens the relationship between the two main characters of the goddamn show because what is supposed to be their emotional separation is dampened by Space Jesus. I LOVE Luke, Luke is that king poo poo, but I'm not gonna pretend to cum my pants over an asspull of legendary proportions. I hope Season 3 and that Ahsoka and New Republic show prove me wrong (gently caress that Book of Boba Fett Yogurt "moichendising"-rear end poo poo), but as of Friday they're falling into the same trap of succumbing to JJ-isms & memberberries again. *snort* Cocaine is bad, kids.

The problem with Rogue One are the lack of little spaces to breathe and just be present with the characters. That and the soundtrack is so dull it actively detracts from the movie. Still a top 5 Star War tho.

Man, all the sequels really need is an extended edition or something. 5 minute Operation Cinder preamble tacked into TFA before Max Von Sidow's intro, the deleted Finn's Jacket/Hardy Trooper/Alternate Phasma death/Caretaker Villiage raid scenes into TLJ, and the 25 minutes of deleted poo poo in TROS that would've fleshed some things out + a few scene rearrangements. May have to wait until the 2030's or whenever the original cuts of the OT are allowed to be released on yet another box set.
