Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2)

[The Autistic Asexual]

Why was Anakin made an annoying little kid in the first place?

It's called a creative choice. Made by the man that started it all no less.

I'd take anything Anakin says in the prequel trilogy over anything said in the sequel trilogy. And I'm not even a big fan of the prequels.

But that's just it -- its not the same universe. It's JJ's alternate universe again. That would explain literally everything.

Gotta admit, I liked what he did with my top two franchises (Trek *and* Wars, ST complaints aside).

 

[Wor-Gar]

Some day, likely in your lifetime, those two franchises will come together in one super space movie.

The Enterprise find its way to a galaxy far, far away.

Is the Star Trek and Star Wars war stil going? Cause if so the trekkies have a lot of fuel to use but the ST no matter how horrid it is is still more successful than the new state trek films. Lol

Star Trek is another one that's being putting out non-canon for almost twenty years now as far as I'm concerned. I dunno, I never watched Enterprise, the one with Scott Bakula, maybe that wasn't bad, people seem to think it eventually found its way before being cancelled.

Funny how individualized canon is so popular these days ...for everything really. I used to select my own Bible ‘canon’ when I was younger - like this I agree with, this I don’t - until I realized I’m probably just not religious at all. Lol

George Lucas should've been allowed to make the sequel trilogy. It would've been infinitely better. It just would have.

But would it though?

Unless it was set in inner space with midichlorians as the chief protagonists: https://www.cbr.com/george-lucas-star-wars-sequels-plans/

I know, it does make me question if I can still be a fan if I dislike the majority of the output.

However I think Star Wars is currently balanced for me, an equal amount that I like as what I dislike.

The good - ANH, ESB, ROTJ (yeah yeah ROTJ is where the rot started etc etc), Rogue One, Solo
The bad - TPM, AOTC, ROTS, TFA, TLJ

But TROS will probably alter the deal in favour of bad once again.

I'm definitely not as much of a SW fan as I once was though. If Alec Guinness appeared to me as a force ghost and implored me never to watch them again I'd bargain him down to no more than twice per decade and easily stick with it.

This is a fair assessment. Personally, I have now added ROTJ to the bad. I just cant watch it anymore. But you did single it our for scolding so you understand.

But 4 to 6 is still very, very good. Not sure any other long-running franchise has that much good. Likely Marvel beats it only because they don't have any movie that is totally cringe-worthy like the PT. Of course time will ultimately decide just how bad some of the worst MCU is.

Well I think that anyone who's a fan of the OT can consider themselves a "SW fan." The rest, even the Lucas helmed PT, came so long after that it's pretty easy to keep them permanently separated.

 

[slikkerias]

I feel blessed that there’s really only one SW movie that I can’t stand - TPM.

 

[Neal136]

I feel like I don't get to sit at the "cool kids" table, because I actually like ALL of the Star Wars movies. Obviously there are some I like more than others, but I can find many things to enjoy in all of them. Star Wars is like *** and pizza ... even when it's bad, it's still pretty great.

Very true. I'll still watch AOTC over a "good" Star Trek film, lol.

 

[a-dev]

No denying your Star Wars fan credentials then.

 

[Khev]

Now would I pick AOTC over a good Blade Runner, Alien, or Terminator flick? NO.

lol

 

[punisher1974]

Very true. I'll still watch AOTC over a "good" Star Trek film, lol.

I wouldn't go that far. I love Wrath of Khan.

 

[Khev]

I remember Wrath of Khan well but have never, in all my life, owned one single Star Trek film ever. I've owned AOTC twice now, lol (DVD and blu-ray.)
