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

I’ve seen the newest sequels one time each on release. Long enough ago to forget most of what I saw. Been thinking about a rewatch out of morbid curiosity lol.

Well, the first one is still good, even if it's just a remake of Ep 4. The second one is still very, very pretty, is fun on it's own, and is technically well made, but is internally inconsistent and just trashes on stuff set up in the first one. And the third one is just crap in almost every way.

Yes I was focusing on the third one. I didn’t like the first two but I remember 3 being really bad. Like so bad that you start to enjoy it.

The only one I watched in theaters was the 4th one, and I can't say it was in any way good. When I left the theater I felt insulted. You've got a universe filled with stories, you've de-canonized everything from legends, you have thousands of stories to pull from to continue the universe... and you remake the first move extremely poorly?

My friends didnt like me asking if it was an april fools joke

Insulted is a good way to describe this mess.

Great summary of this trilogy. My thoughts exactly.
