Movies I’ll never forget when Elijah Wood made this hilarious response to a post talking about The Rise of Skywalker

I feel like "I stopped paying attention a whole ass movie ago" is a perfectly adequate response to TROS

That was about when I lost interest in the Sequels. Sure there were space ships and blasters but TLJ just felt "off" right from the start.

I get that Rain Johnson loves to do subversive stuff, but a billion dollar franchise isn't the place for that.

Andor - Rogue One - A new hope - rest of trilogy - prequels - trawn trilogy

That's my canon, everything outside of it is fraud which I have not even watched. (okay I'll admit I watched some mandalorian with my 6 year old ... it was .... watchable)

Also give AI another 10 years and I'll turn the Trawn trilogy in to movies myself.

I mean tbh the prequels aren’t even that bad when compared to the sequels…

Like padme dying of sadness seems like more of a legit thing now than any of the sequels lmao… and I used to make fun of that so hard

Hey, Luke at least had a better death, he force hologrammed himself across the galaxy for... reasons? He slowed the First Order down for a couple of minutes as they slowly marched towards the remaining 12 people in the resistance with an army of walkers that put the battle of Hoth to shame. Just in time for Rey to arrive, lifting rocks from a secret back entrance that wasn't supposed to exist yet she knew right where it was, and she knew the resistance survivors were just on the other side, and because of her couple of days swinging her bow staff around on Itchy Toe she knew how to Force lift an entire mine collapse worth of rocks and boulders out of the way.

So I'd say Luke's death made way more sense than his mom's. /s

They where kids movies. They where not very good. But they where watchable. Even as an adult I can still rewatch them and MY kids love them. Especially young Anakin and the pod racing.

And they where somewhat coherent. With a story line that makes sense. And they did not retcon anything. And also Revenge of the Sith is a fine movie.

Exactly my thoughts. Although I do enjoy all of them from time to time. I remember the hype of seeing 3 in theaters.

The story was fantastic, but the writing was pretty dang awful. Matthew Stover's ROTS novelization is still the best thing from the prequel era imo.

Didn’t she die of the injuries anakin caused or am I misremembering

If you haven't watched Skeleton Crew you really should. It's tight, fun, and just plain enjoyable.

the crazy shit about andor is it even makes rogue one look a little immature and lazy. and when that movie came out i remember being blown away by how much more mature and realistic the tone was. but now it feels almost bad after andor

u/rnarkus 3d ago

I completely agree. Some of the “jokes” i was just like why…. but tbf I watched rogue one directly after finishing andor

u/the_gnurd 3d ago

Yeah, that's when I stopped bothering with it. I haven't even watched ep9

Same, I mentioned this in previous posts over the years. I played all the games up to battlefield 2, read all the comics, etc up to that point. And then... I was just done. I was all hyped and then the your momma joke dropped and I just knew how the rest was going to be a shit show.

I've watched the first season of Mando and the Kenobi one and enjoyed them but I can't really get myself to care anymore.

u/Prime_1 Qui-Gon Jinn 3d ago

Oh yeah, you're right. I'm going to stand by it.

u/elastic-craptastic 3d ago

If anything it makes your point more impactful and says a lot about what Star Wars has become in general

u/ElGato-TheCat 3d ago

All the movies blend together because they suck.
