[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 8991918, member: 7035894"] Hmmm...these are just my opinions on the live action stuff after the first three: [I]Force Awakens[/I] was good fun, highly rated on RT, and I believe the highest grossing domestic film of all time, so someone liked it. [I]Last Jedi[/I] is often excellent - I could do without the pointless side quest, but the director was actually taking [I]Star Wars[/I] in a fresh direction, which it desperately needs. [I]Rise[/I] was pretty terrible, no argument there, and its biggest failure is that it chickens out of following up on the direction of [I]Last Jedi[/I] and just gave us a hackneyed return to status quo. Kind of like the first episode of [I]Mandalorian[/I] this season. [I]Phantom Menace[/I] is offensively bad. The writing is terrible on every level. It is basically a children's movie most of the time, except a bad one, but then with other scenes that would traumatize a child. Starting Darth Vader out as an adorable, happy little slave is one of the most mind-boggling writing decisions in film history. Good lightsaber battle, though. [I]Attack of the Clones[/I] is less offensive but has no memorable qualities and, yeah, one of the least convincing "romances" in a major film. [I]Sith[/I] is by far the best of a bad lot but is still not good. [I]Rogue One[/I] is good. Had the guts to go with a tragic ending for the protagonists. I like it. [I]Solo[/I] is a classic example of a pointless prequel. If they'd just cast a better actor and given us a Han Solo adventure that didn't worry about paying off various [I]Star Wars[/I] Easter eggs it could have been good. [I]Mandalorian[/I] is a very basic, episodic story. Fun, definitely heavily reliant on the charisma of Pedro Pascal to make it work. Current season seems lost. [I]Boba Fett[/I] is arguably dumber than [I]Phantom Menace.[/I] I can't think of a single redeeming feature for this. [I]Obi Wan[/I] had a just okay plot, but Ewan McGregor is reliably excellent, and I loved the final battle, so it paid off for me. [I]Andor[/I] is the best TV series of 2022, the best written Star Wars thing ever, and it isn't close, and absolutely gave me hope for the franchise. [/QUOTE]
