    I totally agree!

    But with I-III and VII-IX, there’s a common consensus that they weren’t exactly great.

    The only exception to the rule is Rogue One. Generally speaking: Star Wars without Skywalkers is better.

      I wholeheartedly disagree, but only because 4,5 and 6 are the only truly good ones, with good acting, great effects, and a fantastic story. The prequel trilogy were just bad cgi that looked passable at the time, and 7, 8 and 9 are movies trying to copy and paste what was good about the originals with a bit of moder comedy thrown in (“do you talk first or do i talk first?” 🤮). Rogue one is immensely overrated, namely because the story is only ok, and the Vader voice has a random aftican accent put on by JEJ, and that ruins all the rest for me. Except the hallway scene. That scene is so out of canon it makes me sick. The speed with which Vader moves goes against everything shown prior. He’s supposed to be a bruiser type, not a rogue.

      Here’s my star wars hot take. I think revenge of the sith is more fun to watch than Return of the Jedi.

      Jedi feels like 2 half movies stapled together
