You clearly know a lot about SW. You approach it as a SW fan. I know a lot about movies and don’t care about SW as a property. We approach these movies from what I would consider opposing angles, so we’re never going to see eye to eye. We see different things in them and want different things from them.

Their appreciation has grown in time until they became cultural touchstones for two generations. RT or some other group has gone back to aggregate and measure the release reviews and I think Empire had something like a 67%. Decent, but not what it became.


History will be on TLJ's side, I think. And perhaps you'll some day be right about BvS or the Transformers, LV. The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice

And again the question.

If you don’t like something why keep posting about it?

I really want to see that seacow again though. And, that giant fish. That’s a canon fish.

What? He isn't saying he doesn't like Star wars. He's saying he didn't like this movie for certain reasons. I don't like this movie that much, does that mean I can't post in here?

I think ROTS is.

What was supposed to be the greatest lightsaber battle of all time ended up happening on stupid cgi floating lava droids. Not to mention a hundred other face-palm-inducing decisions. I can’t believe that people are all of a sudden forgetting how dogshit the writing & directing of those were. The new ones ain’t Oscar-worthy scripts, I’ll grant you. But seriously, the prequels? Yeesh...

I was always a big fan of ROTS, it’s not something that suddenly happened after the release of TLJ. I don’t care about cgi. I think ROTS looks great. It has great characters, a lot of emotion, epic storytelling, an important story to tell. It’s original, and has fantastic acting and settings.

It's better than 1 & 2, but "fantastic acting" is a stretch.
