Great points all around.
You always were better with them thar words than me.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I respond to what I'm given!
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
My bad Eric. :-/

How about that Deus ex machina ending?

I laughed at that.

Lando promised Colt 45.

Sigh. Rise of The Kitchen Sink makes me like Last Jedi so much more.

Can we all just agree that Babu was a delight? I couldn't stop laughing about him at one point. I prolly looked a little insane.

Yes. 3PO had some surprisingly good lines too.
Yes! Something I enjoyed!

I have spoken.
1.Return of the Jedi 1983 ★★★★★
We start the film with our heroes divided and end the film coming together. There's something to be said about the journey these characters go through and where they end. Jedi has the best balance of the characters and the stakes are real.
2.The Empire Strikes Back 1980 ★★★★★
Love the journey- Heroes start together, break apart, come back together, only to end on a huge cliffhanger.
3.Star Wars 1977 ★★★★½
There's probably more world building in this small film than there is in any of the others combined. What Lucas was able to do on this budget, with 1977 technology, continues to impress.
4.Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 2016 ★★★
Dark, humorless, and plenty of fan service, but scale and stakes are well represented.
5.Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 1999 ★★★
Has the best use of lightsabers in the canon films, best lightsaber battle, pod-racing adds some wonderful SFX, but too much trade federation and diplomatic talk. Comic relief is a huge miss.
6.Solo: A Star Wars Story 2018 ★★★
Out of the newer films, probably has the most Star Wars feel to it with the Millennium Falcon, Lando and Chewy playing major roles. Looks very ugly.
7.Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2015 ★★½
Too much fan service, too many retreads, unoriginal ideas and misuse of casting. BAD dialog.
8.Star Wars: The Last Jedi 2017 ★★½
Quality of character consistency drops regarding major decision making, purpose and story arcs. Unbalanced pacing, but there are choice satisfying scenes to leave tickling fans for more.
9.Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith 2005 ★★½
Solid light-saber fights but bloated script bogs down the entire film.
10.Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019 ★★
TBD Tagline
11.Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones 2002 ★★
Terrible acting by Hayden Christensen, forced no chemistry love story, and a CGI mess of a battle, my eyes bleed.
12.Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2008 ★½
Unwatchable.
I only really care that Clone Wars is on the bottom of every Star Wars list.

Rogue One and Episode I above... anything is simply madness. Worst use of effects with tons of pointless green screen and highly staged lifeless lightsaber "battles" are among the worst things in Episode I.

Then consider me insane. Rogue One is probably my favorite post original trilogy movie.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Rogue One is a 6 with a 10 ending.
I'm not defending any entry as good...but episode 2 is the worst.
Also, using "green screen" and "lifeless lightsaber battles" as negatives to ep1 in defense of ep2? Bro...

Episode One- It feels like a Star Wars movie. I dont even care about Jar Jar anymore. The pod-racing stuff is very decent. And they really showcase what true Jedi can accomplish; before Episode One, we saw Luke fumble around for three movies. After rewatching Return of the Jedi recently people forget that Luke acts more like a Sith in the opening act rather than a Jedi. Did those pig guards really need to die? Is threatening Jabba the right approach? You never see Qui-Gon act like this and It paints how and what a Jedi should be nicely. IT's only when Luke talks to Yoda a final time where he becomes more passive towards the Jedi title. And those lightsaber battles are fabulous.
Not enough credit is given to Lucas on crafting the worlds and tone for a pre-Empire world. I especially appreciate this scene more in a New Hope. "The imperial Senate will no longer be any concern for us... Fear will keep the local systems in line"
This. So many forgettable characters.

Is it because of Vader?
It's totally legit if it is ... but every time you say this I get the overwhelming sense it's because of Vader and no other reason
lol...so ah...yeah, I fucked up.
Involved in three different text conversations about Star Wars. Ask my buddy how he felt about it playing out that []. His response was "what? I haven't seen ep9 yet." Cardinal sin.
Thanks cough medicine and whiskey and flu
