movies

I know I’m in the minority here, but I liked the sequel trilogy. I understand why people hate on the sequels, I just don’t feel that way. I liked the characters in it. The only thing I didn’t like was that they made a CGI Carrie Fisher; I thought it was in poor taste. But the rest of it? Liked it quite a bit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like I saw them all, I'm not sure. But, I don't remember much about them.

When they kissed I was 100% over it

I've watched every Star Wars movie several times but I have no reason whatsoever to rewatch those wretched cash grabs.

I actually do like Force Awaken at first, because despite all its fault it still a pretty fun movie to watch, and i have hope for the second sequel. The Last Jedi then crash that expectation and imploded like a submarine. I did not watch the third one.

I did a rewatch all the way through recently and i thought they weren’t as bad as everyone thinks. 🤷

Well the first one certainly was. The other two were rather memorable in how bad they were.

While episode 4 was such a teenie movie, 5 and 6 were, despite being totally overhyped, actually quite radical, and not just in their iconography.
The prequels had potential, but were butchered, mainly by awful CGI.
The sequels weren't bad in my book, just way too similar to the original 4-6.

Star Wars was really just fun action adventure movies. But because we watched them as kids they feel like really important movies. Also they made crazy amounts of money so they are very important to the film industry.

JJ Abrams made some fun action adventure movies. But we're adults so they don't feel very important. And they aren't important movies. In between two fun action adventure movie there's a pretentious movie trying to be Star Wars Citizen Kane that failed at being either of those things.

Also the ST is ultimately about death. Part 1: death of Han Solo. Part 2: death of Luke Skywalker. Part 3: death of Princess Leia. Rise of Skywalker has a theme around the grieving process because of what the trilogy ended up being. Disney cheaped out on paying actors and the real life death of Carrie Fisher meant it ended up being an action adventure funeral. Nobody likes funerals, and prefer to forget about them in favour of remembering people in the best moments of their lives.

Personally I'd like to see Poe, Finn, and Rey in a new movie. Sure it's like they're people we met at a funeral, but they're fun characters. There's too much looking backwards in Star Wars and too much acting like Star Wars is supposed to be important. Too many monologues about politics that I'm supposed to take seriously while the toys I played with as a kid fly around on the screen. That's kinda weird. Can we please have some fun action adventure movies that move the story forward? Seems only JJ Abrams can make fun movies, but they don't seem to want to do that any more because of whinging on the internet against anything fun.

Yes it was it was just the first two or fourth and fifth all over.
