That is all.

Jar jar was really bad. That being said, the last Jedi deserves no praise.

The two new movies are just retreads of the original series.

This thread seems like the entertainment equivalent of "at least he isn't Hillary" from the politics board

Whoa, whoa, relax. I'm not clamoring to have Rian Johnson beheaded or gassed or thrown into some freedom-gulag. I just think his movie was bad.

Also, I don't care what you say, this scene was awesome:

Everything Star Wars related that has come out after Return of the Jedi is absolute trash. Everything.

There's plenty of "redeaming" features.

1. The scores
2. The sound design
3. The lightsaber fights
4. Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan
5. Padme in a tight outfit

To name a few.

John Williams is a god but he has been phoning it in with the new movies. His prequel work was actually some of the best music in all the movies. And....

Duel of the fates is better than the snoke throne room scene just saying

I actually really dig the Force Awakens soundtrack. Rey's Theme, Jedi Steps, and Main Title/Attack on Jakku Village are all top notch.

Hmmm.....I used to think when I read things like "George Lucas ruined my childhood" I would just blow it off as over dramatic nerd whining. But now, I think George really did hurt you guys deeply.

While I also really love Rey's Theme, Jedi Steps, and the March of the Resistance, I can't say there's a single theme in the new trilogy that has been quite as good as the main prequel themes:

Duel of the Fates
Across the Stars
Battle of the Heroes

I love The Phantom Menace. Saw it 20+ times in the theater and countless times on VHS, DVD, and Blue Ray. I don't care how much some of you hate it.

Having seen TLJ 3-4 times now, I'm beginning to rethink my series rankings. There is a lot about TLJ to like, but there is an awful amount that is just plain garbage. I really, really loath the Rose character. Finn was a decent character in TFA but was worthless this time around. I also have found myself disagreeing with the themes in this movie, particularly how just anyone can be Force sensitive. Goes against every other SW movie ever. Brings to mind a line from The Incredibles ... if everyone is special, then no one is ...

I'm trending toward considering TLJ to be the worst of the Star Wars movies, although its high moments still give it enough lift to keep it above TPM and AOTC, barely IMO. I'll have to re-watch it a few more times to get it on more of an equal footing with the number of times I've seen the prequels, perhaps I'll find something that I've so far missed that keeps it above the first two prequels.

The last Jedi seemed like a movie made by someone who had heard a lot about Star Wars and never actually seen the movies. It was like a really bad joke filled with cliches, the next one infinitely worse than the last.

If my kid wasn't watching it with me I would have turned it off when Yoda showed up.

So OP. I agree

Rogue One was fantastic.

Awesome at all the people who have become woke to how bad the Last Jedi was as far as being a Star Wars movie.

At this point the new trilogy movies remind me of the Hobbit movies. Yeah, I saw them but I do not own the DVD's and will likely never watch again as opposed to LOTR or original trilogy which I can watch again/again.
