I am already attached to crosshair, pls warn me

I don’t hate the prequels, i just think that they get overhyped and over defended for what they are,

We start with The Phantom menace, Obi wan was thrown to the side only until the final act, he only had like 10 lines in the whole movie. Acting was so dry and emotionless. “Star wars is for 12 year olds” while starting the movie with “Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star system is in dispute.” yeaaaa, 12 year olds love that stuff. The only redeemable quality is the pod racing scene and duel of the fates.

Next comes Attack of the clones, suprisingly, this movie i have the least problems with. It starts with Palpatine wanting to kill senator amidala for an unknown reason, he sends dooku to, who hires Jango fett, who hires an assassin, who sends a droid, who dispenses worms. makes so much sense. Then Anakin being the creepiest man alive then pulling padme?

Ok… yall will hate on me but next is revenge of the sith. After the fight with dooku, they decide to split Anakin and Obi wan up, perfect brotherly bonding that we got none of in the past 2 films. Obi wan goes to kill General grievous, (who was added in the movie for no reason and his litle battle with obi wan has no purpose or meaning to the story.) I guess anakin is too stupid to realize he’s been groomed the past 12 years. He turns Him in to the order and Windu and 3 others confront Palpatine. 2 get wiped out immediately, another in 10 seconds, then windu finally gets the upper hand, oopsie! Anakins here. “he must stand trial” says the good hearted anakin who knows palpatine is a sith lord. Windu tried to kill palps but uh oh! Anakin cuts his hand off and he gets blasted out the window. Now anakins goes from 0-100, “i will do whatever you ask although i’m the one who turned you in, now i will be ur apprentice” Wipes out some children, wipes out the separatists, Then fights Obi wan. I am sorry they had barely any bonding time throughout the movies and i’m expected to cry and Be upset about this moment? i’m so gonna get hated.

I might forget some, but these are off of who has been trained in the force and it’s only according to everything canon. These are people who have some sort of importance to the story and do not have a confirmed death. Tell me if im forgetting anyone.

If ur confused why i left something out, its js not my favorite, i know i might get some hate for not liking some universally loved themes

We all know that the sequels are very controversial and described as “objectively the worst piece of content”.

Although these movies are hated, The prequels 10 years ago got the worst hatred far greater than this. People saying George lucas ruined their childhood, that Hayden Christiansen is the worst actor of all time, and that anything is better than what he gave us. This aged very interesting, people now saying that the prequels are a masterpiece even surpassing the originals. I find this real strange for what happened.

Some sequel fans say that the same treatment is going to happen to the sequel trilogy. Honest opinion, yes and no.

In 2015, Episode 7 was announced, everyone was so hyped, Hearing that it wasn’t made by Lucas and that it will be very similar to the original trilogy style. The force awakens came out and people loved it, looking past the fact it was very similar to ANH, they were just happy it wasn’t the prequels.

2 years later, Episode 8 was released, This was extremely controversial, you either loved this movie calling it a cinematic masterpiece, or you thought it was the worst thing you’ve ever seen and you want to throw your guts up.

2 more years later, The last Episode of the Skywalker saga was announced, people thought to themselves, “can it really get any worse?” and boy oh boy…

All three movies suffer one big problem, that being the planning, Abram’s admitted that He wanted to open up lots of mysteries because that’s the type of director he is. He thinks that Leaving audience wondering is what adds to good story telling, In some ways i agree with him. In other ways, i don’t know what he was thinking. This got even more hectic after He decided to have Rian Johnson write the sequel to his cliffhanger movie. this is the only star wars movie that leaves off with a cliff hanger. With the Last jedi, Rian had a different View, one big thing was “Subverting Expectations”. a very controversial tactic in story telling. for it to work, It has to be done perfectly, which rian succeeded in some parts, other parts no.

After the problems faced with Rians movie, They didn’t wanna face the same problem with the called “final installment” and brought Abram’s back to play it safe. JJ Abram’s believed that listening to fan feedback is the safest way to play and that basically retcons many of Johnson’s decisions, causing TROS to be the most frowned upon movie.

So back to my point, The sequels in 10 years.

The force awakens i believe will always be seen as the best sequel film, it will be seen as better than TPM and AOTC and maybe better than ROTJ. After there’s more installation between ROTJ and TFA, things will fall into place, making TFA fall smoother in the story

The last jedi, this movie will always stick out, no matter what happens, the decisions made in this movie changed how star wars is seen, this could be good or bad. It’s always going to be controversial and people will always keep leaning to one side or the other. This is the movie that doesn’t age the best.

The rise of skywalker, personally, this movie will age pretty well. Lots of parts will be looked past, more context will be added, and some scenes will really stick out, the scenes that really capture star wars. This won’t be the most loved but it will feel better.

Rey as a character will age, the hate that she’s getting will get more fleshed out, people will understand that the actress is different from the character, won’t be as revolutionary as Hayden Christianson but Daisy Ridley will eventually get her respect.

Tell me what you believe is the future of these movies.

Im tryna save up for Survivor cuz it’s so good💀

In the beginning i played for a few hours then got so bored but the past few days, i really got back into it, It definitely gets better after the first few hours. The work put into it is phenomenal, Each character has their own Backstory, there are some emotional scenes, some epic scenes.

*Past this point there are spoilers*

It begins on the junkyard planet of Bracca, Cal Kestis is hiding out here from the empire. after a small mission, Second sister (Trilla) Finds him. She’s portrayed as pure evil and she’s an amazing villian. After the Ninth sister drops you off a cliff, you go on a train run and then a ship saves you, the Mantis. Cere Junda, a former Jedi master and a pilot, Greez, and you plan a mission to rebuild the jedi order. First they need to find the holecron. They go on a few missions across different planets. We learn Trilla was Ceres old apprentice who she abandoned and found by the Empire, and her joining to be an inquisitor.

It ends with Trilla loosing and talking to Cere but before she could be saved, we hear Vader breathing and he jumps out from his ship, “Avenge us” was the last thing Trilla said before she was sliced down. We run away from him and Get back on the mantis. We end on the Holecron being sliced by Cal, saying that The force should lead the force sensitive kids fate.

There is so much behind the story and i believe it is very fun and interesting. If you want to play it, make sure to pay attention to cutscenes, it rlly helps. Lots of the game is straight forward except a few puzzle levels. All together, the game took around 15 hours for full completion. I am looking forward to the third installment to the jedi series.

Ok we can all agree the whole movie was wasted potential, but there are some small things that just make me think “You went out of your way to make this movie worse”. I honestly don’t hate TROS like others, it has its good moments. i’m gonna list what i would change to make the story hit the heart more. Disclaimer, these changes only apply to this movie and won’t tamper with the other ones.

Somehow Phasma returned

Rian made the worse decision to kill off phasma, the rival of finn’s, this would have created a second story and give finn a purpose. This would happen when Finn and Jannah are trying to take down the navigation system on the fleet. This fight would happen on the star destroyer, Finn would again have a baton, and phasma would have her Staff. This fight would last a few minutes and would have a more impactful ending.

Rebellion hero Rose

Although Rose Tico is very hated, she was set up to be part of the hero’s, but because of the backlash, she was thrown aside. I would want her to go on the mission with Poe, Finn, rey, bb8, and 3po. She could have her own story and have meaning to it.

The end of Hux

Because of what Rian did to Hux, he turned into comedic relief, he was set up to have his own motives, his own story, but nope, “i’m the spy”. By giving Hux the same part and same story as Pryde, Hux being blasted out of a window would actually feel satisfying. he’s the man who Destroyed a whole system. He had so much wasted potential.

Opening Crawl

This weirdly bugs me so much, The fact they put palpatines return in the opening crawl makes the opening scene 10x less cool. It would have been amazing hearing palpatines voice out of no where. They didn’t even try to imply it, they js straight up said he’s back.

I am first gonna list my favorite scene in all 9 movies

• TPM when Anakin blows the control ship up as the force theme plays

• AOTC when the arena battle happens and yoda comes with a LAAT with clones and saves them

• ROTS the whole battle between Obi Wan and Anakin

• Rogue one when the hammerhead Corvette pushes the star destroyer into another breaking the shield OR the hallway scene

• ANH and the whole trench run scene

• TESB when Vader tells Luke he’s his father

• ROTJ (best movie) the whole Fight between Luke and Vader OR Lando blowing up the death star

• TFA when the resistance saves Han and them and Poe takes out 10 tie fighters in a row

• TLJ the whole standoff between Luke and Ren

• TROS and the whole “they’re not using speeders” scene as the horses are released on the destroyer

I wouldn’t call myself a sequel fan but i believe that Set aside the whole production problems, It does have some good storytelling. Ranking all 10 movies i watched

10. TPM

9. AOTC

8. TLJ

7. TROS

6. Rogue one

5. TESB

4. ANH

3. TFA

2. ROTS

1. ROTJ

I completely understand all the hate of the sequels but i just can’t bring myself to hate it. i always just get a feeling i enjoy when i watch them, I love the relationship between Ben and Rey, a story never told before in canon Star wars, Enemies to lovers. Poe’s whole arch is very good, A reckless pilot who acts before he things, a man who thinks he can do everything himself becomes a strong leader who learns that he can win with the help of others. There are very many flaws with them but i learned to look past them. i do not have a problem with the “rey skywalker” i just wish she saw Ben’s Force ghost and named herself “rey solo” and looked at the twin suns with ben’s ghost next to her.

I do not hate the prequels, i just don’t like that people started liking them because of the downfall of the sequels, Just because X is bad doesn’t mean Y is amazing. It has phenomenal storytelling but unbearable acting and CGI. I don’t like the treatment of Jake Lloyd, i thing Lucas had a really strict vision for what he wanted and it all felt really forced. I dont mind jar jar binks, i loved palpatines story of manipulation. lots of things felt a bit forced becuase it all had to lead up to ANH and that’s my only problem.

The original trilogy is almost flawless except like a few weird plot points, one of them being Luke’s plan in ROTJ. it still confuses me to this day. also why Han is all good with Lando although last time they saw eachother, He backstabbed him. I do find TESB alittle boring and that’s gonna upset some people. ANH is pretty much flawless for me but also a bit boring again.

In the force awakens, A theme plays that i can’t find, it plays when star killer base is destroyed and a few other times too. it seems to only be in the force awakens and i’ve searched and can’t find it.
