The first movie was a fantasy Epic for all ages.

So was the 2nd, if not slightly more adult skewed

RotJ was 100% made for kids and toys, pretty sure George even said as much

Half an hour into the first movie you have two bodies being roasted after being killed. There are murders, torture, war, politics and mass genocide.. definitely kids stuff.


it got a G rating and the studio had to ask for PG so teenagers wouldn’t think it’s for babies.

Yet it’s rated PG. Lucas made Star Wars for children. It’s not even up for debate. It seems only the man-children have problems realizing that.

Yes, you’re correct, i think that’s why ROTJ gets the criticisms it does.

We’ve gotten the best star wars content since the OT from Disney.

Mandalorian is better than the PT. So is Rogue one. So is Andor.

the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best properties in the franchise after the OT aren’t a disaster.

basically none in the OT.
you do know the Ewoks were put in for the toys right? In the original script they were on Kashyyyk and Wookies were ripping arms off Storm troopers.

You can sit there with an and pretend your rather watch the Phantom Menace than Rogue One or The Mandolorian.

You’re either lying or have terrible taste.

Again, I am not an ewok hater… but damn. that would have been cool.

of course they would have needed to recruit the entire NBA to find enough people
to play an army of wookies.

I have broken it down already, as you know.

Disney has a couple hits, and tooooons of shite. When you put out this much, they are bound to hit a couple times.

Something about a blind squirrel and a nut.

The question is the couple good things worth the damage to the franchise by inundating it with garbage?

quote:

As far as SW:

He made 3 good movies (ANH, RotJ, TPM)

one weak movie (Ep 2)

Two great movies (RotS, ESB)

Disney has made:

1 good movie (R1)

2 weak movies (TFA, Solo)

2 absolutely shite movies (TLJ, RoS)

Lucas had a waaaaaaay better batting average

I also know you think ROTS is one of the BEST SW movies and I just don’t agree. It’s definitely not better than ANH.

It is better. Better acting, better story, better fights, higher stakes.

It is good for a season and a half (two seasons if you count his turn on Boba Fett). Filoni was Lucas' guy and he was tasked with restoring hope in SW after TLJ, so he just made a live action Rebels sequel.

Mando is good for a bit, but it still pales in comparison to either of the first 2 animated properties.
