I don't think you can call it worse than Phantom Menace. It's the worst of the original trilogy, but it's totally not worse than THAT catastrophe.

What is the name of the big asteroid worm and how many books have been written about it? How many spaceships does it have to eat daily? How does it gently caress? If it met a sarlacc do you think they would be friends?

Once there was a mighty star named Jerry. He flew all over in his Dutch thunderbird. One day Jerry sucked a dick and alien mushrooms fell from the sky. They say if you eat a can of jello pudding at midnight you can still hear him whisper, "giddyup"

4 is an incredible little self contained children’s space adventure film and is a delight 5 is the best of the bunch and did so much heavy lifting for the world building that would eventually allow SW to become this all encompassing mega franchise 6 is a delightful 80s space and fantasy type deal but is the weakest of the 3. Ok ending that wraps everything up in a bow. Endor stuff really blows IMO. 1 is hot garbage and should be shitcanned to the dustbin of history. There is, however, no way to relay the sheer fuckin excitement of being a Star Wars obsessed 12 year old in phone line internet era and learning that they’re doing another star war. 2 is better than 1 but is trash. It does work as part of machete order. 3 is the best of the prequels as 6 is the worst of the OG. It like 2 also functions best as a flashback before watching ROTJ. 7 is like someone gave an AI the prompt of “write a direct sequel to ROTJ almost 40 years later.” It however was honestly as good as it was going to ever be and accomplished the primary objective of washing the bad prequel taste out. 8 is a disaster because the director thought it would be clever to intentionally make a Star War that Star Wars fans would hate. He literally started the film with a yo momma joke that felt like Disney’s MCU and SW streams were crossed. It also has the worst plodding subplot of the entire franchise and gaping plot holes that could have been fixed with one line of dialogue if the director stopped huffing his own farts long enough to care. Luke’s fate is actually badass and an appropriate send off for the character. You’re not allowed to poo poo on it because some of the people who poo poo on it are bad people. 9 is contractual corporate damage control for 8 and ends one of the most beloved sagas of all time with a hearty wet fart. I don’t hate bringing it back to palps as much as some because he really is the overarching villain of the entire Skywalker thing and such a concept really could have been satisfying, but it’s clear this was a Hail Mary after 8 between bringing in JJ as a fixer and announcing the plot setup in loving Fortnite. R1 is a baller rear end war movie that should be watched right before 4. Solo is a waste of Donald Glover and basically killed the idea of character specific spinoff films but I would absolutely watch a Lando movie if he was in it, but not if Ron Howard (lmfao) directs. TLDR: Star Wars is dead as a film franchise but maybe could be a good prestige TV thing until the mouse fucks it all up. BONUS: Shadows of the Empire isn’t a movie but it was a book that they treated like a movie in the sense of toys and game and media tie ins and it basically was a stealth bridge to keep SW relevant. It was the SW equivalent of the Elvis 68 comeback special.

It's the best of the new trilogy. No I have not seen 9. I don't need to, and neither do you.

Agree to disagree. 15 years ago we could all have laughed at TLJ for being the dumpster fire it is and moved on, but as it was drafted as a chess piece in the tiresome, never ending online culture wars, we never stopped hearing the hottest of takes from the most insufferable of the always online. Like I shouldn’t have to pretend Rose Tico is a good character or Holdo couldn’t have just engaged droid/autopilot just because you won’t touch grass my guy. 9 was a turd but realistically they should have just let a single director do the whole trilogy so at least it would have been coherent from film to film. As it is you got one movie that wanted to be crowdpleasing nostalgia, one movie that wanted to sUbVeRt ExPeCtAtIoNs about crowdpleasing nostalgia, and one dud of a movie that was made in an absolute panic response to the previous director causing grievous harm to the future theatrical viability of a billion dollar franchise (again, there’s a reason that Star Wars is basically a TV thing now).

8 was fine except 7 introduced way too many characters with nothing to do, so they had to give Finn and Rose that meandering B story and I don't even remember what Poe was doing. Come to think of it I'm not sure what Poe was doing in 7 or 9 either. Same with Finn in 9. Oscar Isaac and John Boyega both rule but they didn't have much to do in those movies. 8 was definitely the best Kylo/Rey/Luke story, and also it handcuffed the writers of 9 enough that they were like "idk throw the emperor back in" which was pretty funny
