Discuss.
No really, the new ones are an abomination.
To be fair, return of the Jedi was pretty shit too.

TBF they’ve all got shit in them. This one did no doubt but I am beginning to accept it. I’m excited about the next one.

Awful. This one was not as bad as The Force Awakens, and probably not as bad as the godawful prequel trilogy, but still awful. One of the worst issues with this new one is a problem I call tone lurch. I would call it tone drift, but it's more severe than that. For the first few minutes I almost felt like it was aiming for a tone that was just below parody (in other words a light-hearted romp that is going to laugh at itself and not take anything too seriously.) Then a few minutes later it's gravely serious and dark. Then it's a romp, again. Oi.
As ever, the story is way too complicated, and by that I mean too much - too much stuff crammed in there, too disjointed, too many sideplots that add nothing to the core story.
And on a personal side rant, WTF is with the Captain Phasma character?! Why has this zero been jammed into two movies with exactly nothing to do except for written-in-under-duress-from-the-toy-companies nonsense? What the literal living fuck?

i liked it. But I have a feeling that no matter what, people were going to say they hate it because they can't just enjoy a movie for what it is or their expectations were beyond ridiculous.

I only like ESB and RotS; the rest of the movies suck in varying degrees. I love the EU. Shame it's non-canon now, its books are miles better than the movies.

Shame it's non-canon now, its books are miles better than the movies. you should watch The Clone Wars its on netflix i am usually a big critic of Star wars films especially after the prequel trilogy Trust me dude- its awesome. Every ep is great. its one of the best animated series I have ever seen. You will love Ahsoka Tano Rogue One - IMO was amazing- It enhanced A New Hope even more than it already was. the current films( TFA/TLJ) suck bad casting/acting/story/no originality |

I still enjoy the various FX in them but they are in terms of storyline seemingly getting worse.

Discuss. No really, the new ones are an abomination. To be fair, return of the Jedi was pretty shit too. I never bothered to see the new ones but I liked the first three films when I was young. All in all, I think the series is a tad overrated. |

Well The Empire Strikes Back was amazing- Such a great film from beginning to end- I liked the dark premise after battle of Yavin victory to show the audience the war wasnt over just yet... ANH+ ROTJ werent perfect but each had thier enjoyable parts ANH introduced the world to space battles and jedis with light sabers. It was very cool and innovative- Nothing like it was ever seen before. Some of ROTJ felt bland but overall it was good it was fairly satisfying conclusion to things-Vader redeems himself, Emperor dies- another Death Star is destroyed- a major victory-  This more than makes up for ROTJs shortcomings LOL When I first saw this as a kid my jaw dropped. I wasnt expecting this since Leia dressed so conservatively up until this moment. Discuss. No really, the new ones are an abomination. To be fair, return of the Jedi was pretty shit too.

MH seems like he can barely bring himself to do the promo work without telling everyone the movie blows. I wonder what would happen if he just opened up and spoke his mind and refused to promote it. |

I wonder what would happen if he just opened up and spoke his mind and refused to promote it. He hated the force awakens too. IDK Why he went along with the next film- 2 picture contract? i am so sad they ruined his character like this. Poor luke :( |
