Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)
For me, as a “mostly” PT Denier and a ST follower....I can say all the films are canon...but as personal cannon...
TPM: NO too stupid , bad acting bad CGI, hokey dialogue...its awful. People complained TFA was a ANH ripoff should really apply that logic to TPM.
And of course the ever present Jar Jar...
AOTC : NO: to many reasons to list , the above but so much worse amplified by 100 fold. To me, the worst film in all SW by a long shot...its unwatchable.
THE CLONE WARS: YES Folks who say animations is for kids really are missing out on some of the greatest SW tales ever. This series show how Anakin really fell apart and more importantly the genius of Palpatines plan. If you do not want to watch it all, at least watch the last season, yo will NOT regret it.
ROTS: YES Although this film share much of the same shortcoming as the others the darker tone saves it for me. The seduction of Anakin was really all we ever needed anyway, and we can understand the reasons why he fell with the other two films. I don’t mind Padmes death, although felt Anakin should have been more responsible for it. The also should have made Obi falling in love with Padme and that be the reason the fight.
Solo : YES : worthy of placement with the better films, tells a good story of one of our heroes, it needs a second film to show him get even more screwed over and cynical to really flesh out Han for ANH.
STAR WARS REBELS : YES Again, animation, and even more geared toward the younger viewer, but this series really bridges the gap from the end of ROTS , to ANH. You get to see a return of characters from PT and OT, all in a way that does not feel forced. Vader, Clone Troopers, Leia, the droids, Asoka, Lando, and a host of other take part. But what really works is how well the new characters fir with the originals. We even get the Inquisitor, and a bunch of new villains. I really cannot praise this show enough. Stick with it through seasons 2 and you will be well rewarded. If for nothing else you get to see more RO Vader action.
ROGUE ONE: YES , not much needed to be said , this was the true champ of “prequels”
ANH
ESB
ROTJ
All YES for obvious reasons...yes Ewoks included. Had the Ewoks been less teddy bear like and more Wookiee...it would have been fantastic....hell it should have been Wookies.
TFA
TLJ
Both YES: controversial I know, but it’s been rehashed to death. You either like them or you don’t. I like them both. I like the new characters, the production, designs and story for the most part. To me the major failing in the two are Canto Blight, and StarKiller Base. Both ideas were stupid and were a waste of time.
