[QUOTE="weasel, post: 567772, member: 14"] The prequels were pretty poor, and could have been sooooo much better. They were over CGI’d and the plot was piss poor. Jarjar must go down as one of the most hated characters of all time. The love scenes were horribly wooden, not that I watch SW for love scenes. Indeed the acting in general was poor, albeit you could make the same accusation of the OT. Then we get to the actual turning of Anakin to the dark side. When I saw it for the first time my rection was “WTF, is THAT IT?” It should have been the climax of the trilogy but it looked like it was written in a spare five minutes by a school kid rushing to class cos he/she was late. Massive massive disappointment. The sequels are a huge mixed bag. Rogue one was brilliant, it looked and felt very much like a SW film and it filled out the back story and plugged a few gaps (explaining the glaring weakness in the Death Star etc.) and it was well acted. The Force Awakens, as others have said, was pretty much a sop to fans, it again looked and felt more like a SW film after the over CGI’d prequels, and the plot was fairly similar to that of ANH. But the acting, directing, outfits and feel were all very SW. THEN it implodes utterly. The mere fact ruin Johnson was allowed to do what he did to SW is a damnation of Disney that they will never get over. The Last Jedi is an utter utter abomination. I would sooner stick my meat and two veg in a meat grinder for eternity than watch that steaming pile of utter shite again. The ONLY good thing I can say about it is it looked and felt like a SW film. Other than that, it starts badly and goes down hill massively. The “comedic” element between Po and Star destroyer commander…nah. Doesnt work. Is about as funny as 6 yr old would come up with and is just pointless. The massive design flaw in the bombers the rebels use, that’s the kinda design flaw that ehh would prevent the ****ing bombers getting made in the first place. No one would be dumb enough to send 15-20 in to battle all nice and close in formation. You can run out of the ability to go to light speed? Since when?
