Don't be disrespectful to this man's distinguished years of service.

I get not liking things, but anytime someone says things like "this is the worst thing I've ever watched" I feel like they've genuinely not consumed much media.

That has long been my argument whenever anyone here has stated the prequels are the worst things ever. Get out and watch some truly awful movies.

Drama queens are gonna drama queen. It seems to happen more often when people share their opinions about entertainment.

A little hyperbole not allowed here?

Besides, I chose those words because it's the worst series I've watched to completion. Any other instance with something so truly awful, I'll just pull the rip cord. I stuck with it because Star Wars, but life's generally way too short to spend on crap like that.

I've never had enough free time to say to myself, "this is terrible and I don't enjoy it, but I'm going to go ahead and watch the whole series."

I do that all the time out of boredom, most recently with Titans. That show is like watching the Vespa gang full time.

I felt like I did this with TWD for multiple seasons before I abandoned ship.

His point was that its Star Wars, so he has to watch it, but it was not good. If it was not Star Wars, he would have ditched. Not that difficult a concept, and one most of us on the thread would probably sympathize with.

Now was he a bit dramatic about it? Hell yes, haha

I absolutely was. It had been a long day.

It's mostly the colossal mismatch of expectations vs reality we all had. I get that Disney has had several stinkers in the Star Wars universe, but with their resources, something like this really shouldn't happen.

My wife's brother works for Disney+, and she's been pretty merciless.

You're allowed to say whatever you want and I am allowed call out things that I think sound dumb (no offense intended). The internet is a wonderful place

Yours is also just an example I noticed, it's not an isolated thing.

I actually had that discussion with myself while watching Last Jedi, except it went "This is terrible and I don't enjoy it. I'll stop now." Still haven't finished Last Jedi or started Rise of Skywalker.

If you leave the cartoon world, there is more mediocre to bad Star Wars film/tv then there is good.

Probably a good time to start managing your own expectations for Disney Star Wars (and Aggie Football) over the next year.

This season seemed like a fun story to give a bunch of fan service while giving the next season of The Mandalorian a plot that makes sense. Really liked some bits of the season but didn't like others. Overall was pretty fun though.

The Mod gang seemed like rich Coruscant youths banned to Tatooine. Just seemed really out of place.

This board's about all I've got left on TexAgs, so the appreciation definitely goes both ways.

To clarify, I still watch the hell out of my "mediocre" tier and find all of those very enjoyable, given that I love Star Wars.

Really it's just TLJ, TROS, and Solo that I've never really felt the urge to just pop in and watch.

I'm with you on TLJ and TROS but Solo has slowly grown more interesting in the last few months because of the rumored tie-ins to the Mandoverse. However, if they only happen to be rumors, then I will chalk my interest up in Solo to being inflationary and will gladly demote it back to the bottom tier.

I'm probably gonna rewatch the PT before Obi-Wan, so I might throw in Solo too.

I think in their effort in TROS to appease people that didn't like TLJ they retroactively made TLJ even worse to the people that did like it. TLJ grew on me to the point that I liked it, but then they undid everything in it.

It's like if you made a decision to turn left instead of right, everyone that wanted to turn right and/or predicted we'd turn right were pissed, then you turned around, pissing off the people that were okay with the decision to turn left, and instead of going back and turning right went in a whole different direction so now everyone's unhappy.

Very dad-level move.

Now this is something I've spoken of to colleagues before.

Tier 1 (greatness)
Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One

Tier 2 (very good)
Star Wars (1977), Return of the Jedi, The Mandolorian

Tier 3 (generally considered an unfortunate misstep that I don't return to often if ever)
Literally every other Star Wars movie or TV show.
