I don’t see why I should be downgraded for not enjoying all the main movies when not all of them were enjoyable.
Makes you weak, because they were enjoyable.
You just had different expectations.
But even the sequels were more enjoyable than say Twilight.
So what about the big chunk of people like me that only like pre-Disney Star Wars?
And what about the big chunk of people like me that only like pre-George-Lucas-had-unilateral-control-over-every-aspect-of-the-movie Star Wars?
And what about people like me who think Luke Skywalker’s drip in RotJ was cash money and I will never forgive George for not giving us more of that?
That is the first image of the meme
How have the sequels aged for you guys? I’m still personally disappointed by them
Still bad because the directors were somehow never capable of having a conversation about which way the story should go.
I will never understand that.
JJ Abrams admits there should have been a plan for the ‘Star Wars’ sequel trilogy
It still baffles me that there was no plan.
Better storytelling than the prequels, but there was no story to tell.
The prequels at least had a story, but it was told poorly.
Something Lucas did well in my eyes was world building. To me that’s the most redeeming part of the prequels, the universe felt vast yet connected. The sequels felt small in comparison and a little too familiar. The only place I wanted to see more of was Kijimi.
Something Lucas did well in my eyes was world building.
I sort of agree. World building was good as long as it stuck to establishing interesting characters and planets, but George had the tendency to cram the screen with CGI creatures which served no purpose other than to dazzle and distract the viewer.
After all this time, it almost seems worse, Disney has proven they can make good Star Wars content so the sequels feel even more flat in comparison after an Andor
I have a different take.
The prequels were ass, then they gave us 7 seasons of some of the best Star Wars content there is to fill in the gaps and make the story cohesive. Now I love the prequels.
With how bad the sequels are I can only assume the cartoon we get to fill in the gaps will be a fucking banger.
Please.
That’s ignoring a lot of context and nuance. The prequels we’re bad because of the dialogue, Anakin’s character development and CGI, but the story was always spectacular because it was created by one person with a clear vision. The “story” in the sequels is incoherent and an absolute mess because it’s a story told by a bunch of people who didn’t know where they were going when they started (or even while they were making them). Clone wars had better dialogue and fixed Anakin’s character development while also telling stories created by the same person who was in charge of the movies the show is proving context for.
If Disney tried making an animated show to flesh out the sequel’s, who would even be making it?
Well, I’m disappointed with almost every Star Wars thing… just more with the sequels.
At the same time I like most of them.
Holiday Special is like goatse
You only need to see it once.
I’ve watched it twice so far. What does that say about me?
You really like goatse
Holiday Special is fun and amazing. If you like doing your own version of MST3K
It’s certainly interesting and unexpected.
Try it with the Rifftrax treatment.
I have read some bad fucking Star Wars books in my youth. Still love them. Even Darksaber, where a random hutt builds a death star because it’s actually even easier to build planet-destroying weapons than Disney made it seem.
To be fair, he failed because he cheaped the fuck out. Instead of making it bigger, he made it smaller and just included the laser part with no space station parts. And then it blew up because he built it in an asteroid field.
Eh I still don’t mind Darksaber… better than Crystal Star or Planet of Twilight.
There seem to be some tiers missing.
Look all I’m saying is, if you didn’t laugh your absolute ass off as Grampa Itchy watched softcore porn in the family room while everyone was still there, then something is deeply wrong with you.
Getting off to VR porn while everyone is home. What a legend.
lol I think I’m the only fan who doesn’t like the movies.
So real for this
I just like Star Wars. Don’t need to make it more complicated than that.
Woa. many books were way better than much of the media. books should be like the first step or maybe two I guess after original trilogy. mmm. this starts really late to. I don’t even make it to step one.
The entire problem with the sequels is that they flushed all of the book canon down the toilet so that Disney could skull fuck the franchise for a quick buck.
Could you still enjoy the non-Canon stuff even if Disney doesn’t want you to?
Trouble is that they even killed future stories that would resolve started plotlines. They could easily have made the Sword of the Jedi into the sequel trilogy. But noooo, instead they just stumbled into it without any coherent plan.
Hell, they flushed movie canon to make the force into Avatar.
Man, I LOVED the rogue squadron books when I was a kid. I still think they’re a pretty fun read, though I haven’t picked them up in at least a decade.
