2 good movies and a handful of good games does not make a good franchise when there's dozens upon dozens of shitty and forgettable entries in the rest of the franchise.

I thought that was the consensus while episode 9 was coming out and the writing was on the wall.

The problem is people see shit like a weird mannequin Luke Skywalker and lose their minds. So Disney will never stop trying to find out what specific flavour of bland nonsense will satiate people.

The first one is a great movie, the 2nd one is very good continuation of the story, the 3rd one is a toy commercial.

Prequel trilogy has some good moments and music, but it's bad as a whole, and invidualy.

Sequel trilogy is trash(stopped after the 2nd one), and Rogue One sucked. Didn't bother with Solo.

I don't know if I agree with TC about the franchise as a whole, because there's just too much stuff I didn't experience. But I certainly agree when it comes to movies.

Yeah the discussion used to be Empire or Jedi? Now people act like Jedi was never good.

Episode 9 pre-release had this feeling of real deal death though. There were some people laughing directly at it, there were people who weren't even interested because they hadn't moved on from the damage 8 had done and there were people who straight up walked away from the franchise.

I saw nobody who wasn't either clickbaiting or paid sticking up for it. With PT you've got the clone wars fans/lore guys dead set on rehabilitating it, there's people who stick up for most of Disney's stuff every time they bring something they liked back into canon, people who get tricked into buying walking simulators love any cinematic game and forgive bad launches.
This was like the movie equivalent of helplessly watching the rest of something you've built collapse after the roof's already gone.

I think people take Star Wars overall way too seriously. Both fans and non-fans. The only part of it I personally don't like is the Sequel trilogy. Every other movie, game, book, or show I've enjoyed. It's entertainment at the end of the day, and you're either entertained or you're not.

In hindsight I feel kind of blessed that Episodes 2 and 3 already bottomed out my expectations for the SW franchise during my young adult years. TPM at least has a nostalgia buffer, because its big-budget spectacle CGI was still new and mind-blowing, and I was just old enough to appreciate the work and artistry that went into it while still being young enough to be wowed by it.

Nowadays, if a SW movie sucks, it's merely meeting expectations; if it's decent or actually good, I have the benefit of being pleasantly surprised.

Something can have good parts but suck as a whole. There's nothing wrong with his claim.

Nah, Star Wars is great. Just because the recent movies were garbage doesn't mean the entire franchise is garbage. There's so much greatness with the movies, games and TV series'.

2 movies out of like what? 12 movies? That's a failing grade, yall I'd already move on if only two movies were considered good out of 12.

The original Star Wars was a mediocre movie with revolutionary special effects.

I still love it

I been here so fucking long it's nice to see others understand.

In a lot of ways, the new movies absolutely suck all the fun out of the old movies as well.

It's dumb, it's all bad. only 2 lightsaber fights are good in the entire series (luke vs vader, in empire and return of the jedi) are actually any good.

It's basic as fuck. Jedi good, sith bad, but WAIT! Jedi also bad. Okay Jedi not so bad after all.

Literally makes me want to drink.

Cool starship designs? Sure. Just like every other space opera. cool spaceships design themselves. on top of all that, compare the ships to the Enterprise D, Heart of Gold, or even the Event Horizon and they aren't even as interesting.

in no way was this what you said before lol

i mean i guess kids might like it because it's a franchise for children, but that isn't really a high honor. kids like lots of things.
