Re: Best To Worst Star Wars Movie By Ranking Individual Chap
Actually, I just figured out the last trilogy. After taking years of abuse about the prequels and messing with the original trilogy, George Lucas used the power of the Dark Side to manipulate the movie makers to produce an uneven, poorly conceived finale trilogy.

I get why people don't like some of the choices in TLJ, I just thought as a story it was much better written and directed. But we're talking about the best of the worst trilogy. |

Re: Best To Worst Star Wars Movie By Ranking Individual Chap
I mean Disney changed everything for Rise of Skywalker because people endlessly complained online for a year and they wanted to retcon as much of it as possible without admitting that "made a mistake" (in quotes because TLJ is by far one of the best Star Wars movies). I don't really feel much sympathy for the people who continue to complain now about TLJ and TROS in addition, because this is basically what they asked for. But I also didn't feel much sympathy before because they are wrong about TLJ.
My guess is TROS was kind of boring so they added in Rey Palpatine late in the game because they needed a twist. The whole movie feels cobbled together and definitely a product of them trying to appease the entire fan base at once. I can't really blame them, I think it's almost impossible to make a Star Wars movie for mass audiences today. Even though the side stories are a lot more boring to me than the main saga, I think that really all that can be made anymore is side movies since those can't "ruin" anything for anyone. As a fan of TLJ I'm a little disappointed they didn't follow through on some of the more interesting moments of that story (Rey and Kylo growing into leaders of their respective sides, no more Skywalker saber, Luke's sacrifice as inspirational for Resistance). But like whatever I can just go back and watch TLJ and all of that's still in there. Honestly the failure of Rise of Skywalker is maybe okay given how good TLJ is. Anyway back to the main question. I can't really rate the trilogies across because they're all so different but I think Attack of the Clones is the best prequel and The Last Jedi is the best sequel and A New Hope is the best original. I don't feel that strongly about the side stories Rogue One/Solo/Mandalorian. All of them are kind of boring to me and feel a little bit like fan films that don't really even try do anything interesting but they're all okay. I'm curious to see where they go from here for sure. 10 Years of Gencon/Scapecon Battle Reports - Comic Battle Reports - Probability Calculator App - Reverse the Whip Army Archetypes "It's all about the game." - Sgt.

I am cautiously optimistic about the future of the Star Wars Universe. "The Mandalorian" was very good. I'm hopeful they can follow up with an equally strong second season and get a quality Obi-Wan series out. |

Re: Best To Worst Star Wars Movie By Ranking Individual Chap
Yeah I just have the opposite viewpoint: TFA was boring and derivative and didn't set up anything interesting, and TLJ made the most of it and forged ahead.
Mandalorian was great. The finale of Clone Wars was beautiful. Can't wait for Kenobi!!!!! |

Wasn't going to chime in originally but...

I'd say RoS is slightly better than TLJ just because it's more enjoyably bad and at the very least JJ Abrams knows what a throwaway line is, but honestly you could endlessly sort which of the Disney Trilogy is the best and which one is the worst depending on who you ask. At least The Clone Wars four-part finale was fantastic. ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

Re: Best To Worst Star Wars Movie By Ranking Individual Chap
My hot take is there are only 2 good Star Wars movies. The rest are mediocre to poor.

It's just a total different mindset. I totally understand why people didn't like seeing the characters act certain ways. I personally love it when you throw as many curveballs as characters and throw them through the ringer and see how they react. It's one reason Battlestar Galactica is my favorite TV show. They pounded and pounded those characters, and seeing all of them break in different ways and dealing with consequences is fantastic to me. I'm never going to argue TLJ is an amazing movie. The whole sequels are riddled with issues. Like I said above, if all of them were more like TFA, fine. If all of them were like TLJ, fine. The issue is that ROS isn't connected to the previous 2 in any way. It threw out all character development from TLJ, and basically rehashed TFA yet again (Gotta find the macguffin, also Death Star at the end). |

Unpopular?
I liked TLJ but it probably has more to do with the fact that I love subverting expectations and I have liked pretty much everything I've seen from Rian Johnson.
I also have a hard time hating PM because the movie introduced me to Liam Neeson. I find AotC the worst because it has very long segments of boringness. I think I align pretty closely to everyone else on everything else. ~Dysole, who admittedly enjoys a number of spec fic series a lot more than Star Wars My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long.
