I don't remember. I watched it once and never again. The new trilogy broke too much of the lore put in place in the first 6 movies. Jumping into light speed to destroy a destroyer? Why didn't they do that to the Death Star? Force healing? Come on.

i'm a flying...flying through space...with my jedi powers~
Watching that scene was better than reading royal family gossip for elderly women. |

Obviously, most people will just skip the first 3 any way, and watch 4-9. Those prequels were horribly bad, and not because of Jar. They were written just to conform to the History and to Hollywood formula.
The good news is that Star Wars 4 gives a great and exciting intro to begin the viewing, and Star Wars 9 is easily the best in story and characters of the films, so you end on a bang.

He didn't die. There's no explanation for his survival. No you can twist it that it is believable he survives that.
It's one of the most over-the-top/absurd moments in the franchise. There's nothing remotely believable about it.
When Luke doesn’t die? You asked why that scene in TESB is bad. My response is because he didn't die. There is no rational explanation for a man falling thousands of feet and not only not going splat, but somehow landing in a chute that serves as a water slide, slowing him down, until he comes to a complete stop. Unscatched. It's moronic. |

Unscatched. It's moronic. Luke has a supernatural force. So, with that explanation, all can be explained. However, it is moronic to claim some guy survives that fall without a broken bone, just because he's Jaws or James Bond or a big name star playing a number one or two or three or four or five villain or a number one hero (yes, the villains get this sort of preferential treatment in movies), is moronic, because it's claiming that a mortal is "naturally" possessing demi god characteristics without supernatural help. I have no problem with the supernatural wizard like Gandalf, or the supernatural force helping a Jedi knight, helping the character survive. That's logical. It is goofy when it happens to someone whom the screenplay is claiming to be just an ordinary man who magically turns immortal just by committing unmotivated, sadistic, evil acts the same that Hannibal, Joker, Jason, and others do such things. |

What did the Force do? Slow him down? Put an invisible mattress beneath him? The Leia scene is cringe-worthy, but at least it made an attempt at an explanation. We see her using her abilities. Not so much in the Luke scene. |

I sense a disturbance in the force. There is a "resistance thread" here to counter this "empire thread", or is it the other way around?

No. I walked out of two of them...the second prequel movie and the last sequel movie.
The second prequel movie is unwatchable. And the rapid "it was the emperor all along" reveal in the last sequel movie just put me in a bad mood.

I could, and I'd enjoy 7 of them, 8 if I take a nap during the Death Star scene in "The Force Awakens" (The same thing was done better in "A New Hope").

no
I gave the original 3 a rewatch last year.........and couldn't believe how simplistic the stories were.
Not very impressed by a few of the others

Here's a better challenge, can you sit through all 9 main star wars films, Rogue One, Han Solo, both Ewok films, all episodes of the Mandalorian, Book of Bobba Fett, Obiwan Kenobi mini series, and the Star Wars Holiday Special? (this doesn't even include any of the animated movies/series)

No. The "It is only because I am so in love with you" scene in Ep. III would have me heading for the nearest cocktail lounge.

And calling the second prequel "unwatchable" just shows how horrendous and abysmal your taste is.
And the last sequel is pretty good.

I would do the first 6 and then bounce. The new trilogy sucks donkey balls. Bringing the Emperor back ruins Anakin's redemption arc so it's not cannon to me. Even the reveal that he returned in the opening crawl text of Rise of Skywalker was dumb as hell. Imagine revealing that Darth Vader is Luke's father in the opening crawl text of return of the Jedi. |
