Exactly right. And the exact same is true for ROTJ.

Yep a wasted opportunity.TCTTS said:
Btw, how much better would TPM be if the Gungans were a cooler species? If they weren't designed/played for laughs but rather they were competent warriors? And instead of Jar Jar being a buffoon, he was a badass who did something noble, but ultimately against societal rules, to get banned? Then had a really cool redemption story in that final battle?
Like so much of what's happened to the franchise since 1985
I completely agree with Spilner on ROTJ. It's a solid movie end to end. I just don't care for the Ewoks. But all three acts flow together, agreed the 2nd act is a little week but second acts typically are, but it all flows so well.
Minus the Ewoks, it is literally a perfect part 3 of a trilogy. Scores are settled. Story arcs are closed. Characters we care about are given their due. Great movie.

While I'm flattered by my geeky crown, don't mistake my volume posting as any real knowledge. I watch the movies, TCW, & Rebels. That's it.

Made a list.
I did get 10 of 10 on this quiz, today.

It actually was pretty easy

Have to say I don't belong anywhere near #1. I have read 1 SW novel, played a handful of SW video games, and have not seen Rebels or finished CW.
Muck probably belongs at #1 from what I have seen.
I'm just a huge movie nerd.

Pretty sure Jerrjerrod didn't qualify for any research in Rebellion. He was a good diplomat though.Simplebay said:

Agreed. Get this guy off the list.
I hope you Star Wars fans realize how Disney is ruining his franchise way more than George Lucas ever could
Yes, it's so awful. We realize it and we're all in denial and that's why we have a zillion page thread dedicated to Star Wars.lostrg said:

Well, that's just like you're opinion man

lol....hmmm. ok
Lucas = no SW movies since 2005, those sucked and likely we would have never seen any more.
Disney = 3 movies and counting all of which are better than 1-3 prequels and 8 or 9 more upcoming.
Yeah I'm really upset at Disney.

And I hope "Star Wars fans" realize there is life beyond the OT.
The new disney trilogy represents a lost opportunity more than anything.
It's rare to have a trilogy green lighted from the start. They had a chance to create a long story arc connected through the 3 movies. So many interesting possibilities there.
What we got was a largely inconsistent plot mixed with pointless excursions and forced comedy. The characters are still paper thin after two movies and I have no attachment to them.
Having said that, they are better than the prequels and I would rather have them than not.

Somewhere Mark Hamill sheds a tear.
Man, that is like a literally perfect summation of how I feel about the new trilogy.TV Casualty said:

Pretty much how I feel as well.
I feel the same way but I actually do care about Rey and Kylo.
New trailer yet?
