actually really liked Rogue.

when you simplify the plot (get the death star plans to the rebels) its amazing how well you can build a movie and characters around that.

still not sure what was going on with TLJ

Agreed.

I suggest that anyone who’s either on the fence or doesn’t like R1 to go back and watch it again after TLJ, which makes it look like Citizen Kane by comparison.

It’s a really good film in the context of the SW universe. Simplistic plot, plenty of action, humor but not overkill (as was the case in TLJ), and very respectful of and paying homage to the OT without leaning too much on it.

Inversely, TLJ’s plot was a convoluted mess, tried to be Monty Python, and shite all over the OT and everything set up by TFA.

Circling back to the viewing order, the perfect order would be:

1. ANH
2. R1
3. ESB
4. ROTJ
5. TFA
