Wait a mother fucking minute....

You liked Last Jedi..... but hated this one?? ??? ??

This one was a bit of a mess... but compared to the steaming turd sandwich that was Last Jedi??

I can confidently say that my personal Star Wars Ranking goes:

1. Ep V - Empire Strikes Back
2. Ep IV - Star Wars (New Hope if you Must)
3. Ep IV prequel - Rogue One


4, 5, 6 (depending on my mood)
Ep III - Revenge of the Sith
Ep VII - Force Awakens
Ep IV prequel - Solo

7 - Ep VI - Return of the Jedi
8 - Ep IX - Rise of Skywalker

These I only watch for completions sake:

9 - Ep 1 - Phantom Menace
10 - Ep II - Attack of the Clones





11 - Why? - Ep VIII - The Last Mary Poppins Jedi pointless running out of gas but we have time to send some people to a casino planet to fuck around while we "chase" in slow motion (don't they have hyperspeed?) oh wait we do have hyperspeed... BOOM... If this was a thing, why weren't we hyperspeeding ships through the center of the Deathstar to blow it up? Oh because this movie make absofuckinglutely zero sense and should be flushed from the series.

Perhaps you should check the chemical content of your breakfast cereal.

The responses I have heard from some people about the Scorcese "The Irishman" movie supports this statement.

Talk about having to suspend disbelief. The Irishman has you wondering half the film “what the fuck did they do to his face?!” A bunch of old men that they had to make older and younger for the different time periods. All the supposed young men scenes they look like they had Botox injections and the old men scenes kind of look like they do anyways. It was a freak show of sorts. Pacino stole the show though and made it worth watching.

Being out and about with one’s fellow humans in shared spaces is invigorating and helps keep loneliness/alienation at bay. It keeps your mind engaged and provides opportunity for observation and people watching.

It seems the Internet has encouraged people to be performative introverts and sourpuss cranks who luxuriate in their bunkers without disruption or mild social discomfort.

Watching a movie at home—even a boring talky movie where nothing blows up and without any Batman cameos—never seems a meaningful as committing yourself to watching it in a dark room full of strangers.

Nah, I'm with ya. After about a day or two at home (like I just had with Christmas Eve-Christmas-day after), I have to get out. I enjoy going to the movies, but the offerings out of Hollywood haven't appealed to me much lately. I'm always up for going to a bar though, especially if there's a band playing.

original trilogy, prequel trilogy, modern trilogy, and two “Star Wars Stories”

Plus... Mandalorian on Disney plus... and at least two animated series. :helper:

I was aware of the animated series but haven’t seen any yet.
I did watch all of the Mandalorian episodes up until the latest. I’ll find some time to catch up this week.
It has great potential. It needs better writing, I think.

Well, I went to the theatre 38 times in 2018 and 29 times in 2019 so far (we may go see Bombshell this weekend) so I would have to agree. :helper:

So I finally got around to watching The Last Jedi the other night. It definitely has some turdishness to it. But as others have said, the Star Wars saga is better if you don't over analyze it too much. One thing that really bugged me about it though; Anakin and Luke both needed months/years of Jedi training to be able to use the Force to any degree. Rey spends a few days on the island with Luke, and before ya know it she's levitating mountains of boulders. :shrug:
