I noticed you didn’t mention Jar Jar.
I like Jar Jar
I like the Dart Klutz theory- you know, that Jar Kar is secretly a Sith Lord.
Maclunkey!
Oh that lolth cat had the cuties ugly face. I love it
I want to see the loth wolf too
I liked the sequels, at least probably more than your average person, but I still think they are trash. The individual plot beats are fun, the cinematography is great, the characters feel like they largely fit in the universe, and it makes some decent political commentary. But bring it all together and it just doesn't really make a lot of sense, moment to moment its great but you start to think even a little bit and something always feels a bit off.
They are the most expensive bad fanfiction ever.
At least most of the spinoff stuff is better, if still not great.
I think that just about any individual scene in the sequels could have been expanded out to a pretty solid movie in their own right.
But the just kept picking up new ideas and letting them drop without seeing them through to bounce to another idea.
The force dyad thing with Rey and kylo? That was fucking cool.
Storm trooper defector to the rebellion? Hell yeah!
Spy craft heist thing in a casino? Not exactly breaking any new ground there, but hell, there's a reason James Bond movies and oceans 11 movies and such keep getting made, it works.
Arms dealers selling to both the
empirefirst order and therebellionresistance? Yeah, let's get gritty and political with it.Palpatine clone? Fuck it, fine, why not? They did it in the old EU, I guess it can work. Cloning is an established technology in-universe, why wouldn't sheev have a couple spares hanging around. Let's get real weird with the sith alchemy to transfer his consciousness, maybe get some plagueis flashbacks, or some nightsister artifacts or something, we can make something of this.
Running around the universe finding sith mcguffin artifacts to lead you to a hidden planet with some kind of secret superweapon? Yeah, that could be a fun time. Shit, you could make a whole trilogy or tv show of that idea if you wanted to.
God-damn Broom Kid.
There, that's like 6½ good ideas they could have fleshed out into at least as many decent movies and kept the gravy train rolling, but instead they crammed half-assed versions into 3 movies.
I agree. I had a lot of hope after episode 7, but it turned out so bad. A lot of the individual elements, like you said, are good. But the whole trilogy is definitely less than the sum of its parts.
Look man, if an eager Carl Weathers bent over at the door translating Babu Frik long after it was necessary doesn't warm your cockles, you're probably more broken than a Dizonite during a death wail.
That scene is a true highlight in the already impressive film categroy of seasoned actors playing off muppets.
So funny too because the accent is just right that it's difficult to know if it's a different language or not at first but by the end of the scene it becomes easy to understand.
It's even better that Weathers directed that episode.
And padme, and she showed him her boobies and he liked them too!
Gatorade's better!
what about JarJar
No comment.
I liked jarjar...
...The Spider Queen has cats? I might have to reconsider my religion...
I liked the prequels and hated the sequels.
* except the sand people, because, as you know, I hate sand.
Happy life day.
A star wars fan liking Star Wars?! It’s unheard of!
Why did they cast a pip-squeek as Anakin? Vader is like 6'5".
The prequels are such bad movies.
The definition of a cope spiral into the dark side
Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One, Solo, The Mandalorian, and Andor, everything else is garbage and so bad it's hurtful, and I like Star Wars too
If you don't like 9/10 of the content for a franchise, maybe you don't actually like that franchise.
Wow, that's a lot of the franchise to dislike. You don't even like episode 6?
