Current Events > How many bad star wars movies would it take for people to stop going

(+) Yeah! (+)

Star Wars TFA and even Rogue One are proof that a brand alone can carry a film to a box office success

We've only had one great Star Wars movie. (V)
We've had two okay Star Wars movies. (IV, VI)
We've had three whatever Star Wars movies. (III, TFA, RO)
We've had two bad Star Wars movies. (I, II)

In conclusion, with eight movies and less than half of them being ok (and only one of them actually being legitimately good), I don't think people will turn away from the franchise.

Never, seeing as how none of them are great

BULLSHIT. ANH is an incredible film from beginning to end. The effects maybe don't hold up, but as a movie it's absolutely stellar and stands as a timeless piece of storytelling and filmmaking craft.

Anyways to answer TCs question, who knows? A few clunkers in a row will damage any brand, especially considering SW is now an annual event which has never been before.

It's an okay film with nothing impressive about it other than the fact that it's special effects have aged very well. The action scenes are bad (go rewatch the light saber fight between Darth Vader and Obi wan lol), the story is predictable and straightforward and it's longer than it needs to be. Han Solo essentially carried the entire original trilogy by himself.

Imagine being incapable of forming a decent rebuttal. Sad!

TFA and Rogue One were fantastic.

I love how TFA was so terrible now the narrative is star wars has always been horrible.

That's how bad the movie was, that the movie it's a remake of is being pulled down with it

Oh I see so this is just a joke topic

Definitely more than three because I did see episode 7 after the ***** prequels.

I think TFA is the worst piece of cinema ever created so I can understand why people would think I'm a joke poster

Because you are one

I feel like the original trilogy was decent and that was about it. There have been some fun / good books set in the Star Wars universe, and some interesting video games, but... as far as cinema goes, they don't really hold much merit.

star wars is the most overrated franchise in movies

old trilogy is way overhyped by the turbo nerds who lived during the 70's.
new trilogy is boring af.
tfa is just a garbage rehash of turbo nerd garbage.

V (> or =) VII > the rest, tbh.

It only took one movie to make me stop and that movie was Episode 1.

well, they'll always be popular. like the lego films. they're extremely profitable children's films that also bring in a ton of money in toy sales. these movies will always be popular.

You're missing out, the originals are actually fun adventures with actual characters in them. They can be kind of slow though.

There has only been one good one, so more than 7 I guess.

No no, I mean I've already seen and enjoyed the original three but Episode 1 was the movie that made me stop caring about Star Wars movies

No, that was how it's always been. Don't put your own narrow experiences onto the rest of us.

Some have already stopped going to see the new SW films in theaters after TFA was such dog shit.

I wait for the films to come on tv now as I refuse to waste money on them, saw RG1 on netflix yesterday and while it was better then TFA I am glad I did not see it in theaters.

Not seeing TLJ until it is on tv since the trailer for TLJ did nothing for me and I do not like the direction the new trilogy is going. The PT and SE of the OT was worth seeing in theaters but not this new garbage.

I mean, I hadn't gone to the movies for a Star Wars movie since Episode 1 (and never saw 2 or 3). Went to see TFA, was thoroughly annoyed and unimpressed, and decided to call it quits on that...

@Hexenherz

Episode 3: Revenge of The Sith is worth seeing, it is easily the best of the prequels and is on the same level as the OT.

The last hr of Ep. 2 AOTC is good as well in my book but it is not a solid film from start to finish.

Honestly though the PT is still better then anything in TFA or anything in TLJ trailer.

No. Not at all.

Well seeing as how Episode 1 & 2 didn't kill off the fanbase, I doubt anything ever will.

Yes actually it is, ROTS is the prequel that finally got it right and is as good as the OT.

Star Wars Sequels (as well as spinoffs like Rogue One and the Han Solo movie) are guaranteed to be bad, but it's worth going just to be able to talk about how inferior they are

You liking TFA and RG1 more then ROTS only proves what bad taste you have, TFA was dog shit.

Except it doesn't prove anything of the sort. TFA and RG1 were great. ROTS wasn't as bad as the other prequels, but it was filled with bad acting, bad pacing, and lots of style over substance.

TFA was meh and Rogue One was good. Cry more, bitter beards
---

You must be on drugs to think TFA was better then ROTS, the movie was the worst SW film I have ever seen, it makes TPM and AOTC look like masterpieces compared and thats really saying something.

I like how the only real criticism for TFA is that it's a better version of the 2nd best Star Wars movie and that the main character is too competent.

It's way fucking worse than the film it's a remake of. I have said that several times, way to lie to yourself and pretend you're reading something different from us. Who actually said it was a better remake?

It's a worse version. The criticism is that not only is it a remake, but it's worse

TFA apes ANH badly and tries so hard to be like it without having a good cast of new characters, a joke/ineffective villain who acts like a baby who shit his diapers, and gets beaten by a nobody with no training.

Lets not forget the way they do a complete dis service to Han Solo sending him out like a stupid idiot.

I'm a sucker for Star Wars lore. I was devastated when a lot of the stories I grew up with were no longer canon. But the fact that everything from here on out is canon I'm officially committed. It'd have to get really bad, like Christmas special bad for me to wash my hands of Star Wars. I liked a lot of The Phantom Menace, hated most of AotC. TFA was decent but I liked Rogue One(missed the opening crawl though).

Who would actually argue TFA was a better A New Hope than the original?

Do people really like Rey and Kylo more than Luke and Vader?
Because if that was really the case, then why was the whole fucking movie "hey look it's that character from a New Hope"

If the new characters and the remake was so much better, why did it reference an A New Hope character every 5 fucking seconds?

What makes the new characters worse than the ones introduced in ANH?

Remember when Darth Vader, a Jedi Master and prodigy with decades of training, got beaten by his son, who just became a Jedi Knight after training for 2-3 years in RotJ? It's Star Wars, The Force basically picks who it wants to win.

Yeah, it was real stupid for Han Solo to try and reason with his son and save his life.

you mean Jedi knight :^)
