I really don't feel like there has been a cohesive arc in the first two, but maybe everything will make sense when this comes out.

The story is secondary to cool visuals and fan service. OMG REY IS PALPATINES GRANDDAUGHTER!

I hope palpatine is puttering around underwater. That'd make sense.

After all is said and done, it is clear that on the whole SW is garbage. The OT movies were fun, but everything else is terrible.

I hate george Lucas but i admire this 4D chess move. Like disney star wars is truly awful. He got mad at the fans for being mad at him, cashed out to the worst game in town and sat back while they turned a gigantic piece of boomer amd gen x nostalgia into the blandest pap ever made
I thought the new ones had to be better than the prequels, but they're somehow even more forgettable.

The actual ideas he's mentioned are unfathomably dumb but they are a lot more interesting than what we got

Let's just be honest with ourselves and admit SW was a phenomenon in the right place at the right time. Everything trying to recapture the magic of the OT will fail no matter what.

The idea that Skywalker supplants jedi as the term for force users is so terrible. That better not be the case.

I like when Padme falls out of the flying craft while going super fast and then just hops up and says let's go.

Natalie Portman was so terrible in that role. AoTC actually makes me feel ill. I don't know if it is the gratuitous CGI or what, but what an ugly movie. Yoda dancing around was dumb as gently caress and I cringed when so many people thought it was badass.

I'm trying to think of a single sequence I enjoyed in the prequels. I'm coming up empty.

It wasn't really good. Why would some planet far away have a diner with a 50s aesthetic?

I always thought the 'proper' Kessel run explanation was that the Kessel region of space is full of black holes or some other spatial anomaly and he was able to pass within 12 parsecs without being sucked in or otherwise spacefucked.

That was some dumb poo poo made up by nerds.

The fact that SW has had far more lovely movies than good movies should be all you need to know about how good of a franchise it is. Why does anyone think they'll be good again?!

He was already killed before anyway, so how can that moment have any gravitas at all? They can just keep bringing him back with no explanation.

Don't even pretend like the emperor whipping out a lightsaber again would have been a good thing. In Jedi the Emperor doesn't even have a lightsaber and giving him one in RotS was a mistake

Same with giving Yoda one. I saw AoTC in theaters and remember how cringeworthy it was when like 500 nerds nutted at that scene.

I saw it. Pacing was terrible with the entire movie being fetch quests.

Anyone else dislike Finn? He's just such an annoying character. He wasn't nearly as bad in TFA, but he ended up being the idiot saying they need to save Rey everytime she did anything. Does he not see she's a loving superhero?

I don't know if Qui-Gon was supposed to paint jedi as complete idiots, but every word out of his mouth was annoying. The prequels made the jedi completely unlikable. The sequel trilogy then made the only cool jedi (Luke) completely unlikable. There are no characters in the prequels or sequels worth rooting for.

I hope it continues to become a tradition of Lucas or co. to keep loving with the Greedo scene for every new special edition that comes out.
It never needed to be adjusted, and the horrible head swerve looks so terrible. Nevermind the whole maclunkey thing.

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.

I like that they gently caress up and put "Yoda da man" at the end which removes whatever silver of clever wordplay existed.
