Star Wars died years ago.
Star Wars died years ago.
Right around the time Lucas sold out to the Disney pimps.
Earlier... in received a punch in the gut with Return of the Jedi... not a terrible film, but not the magic of the first two. And then came Phantom Menace... what a horrible movie. Followed by what I consider even worse - Attack of the Clones in it's downright painful and weird love scenes.
Disney has basically sealed the coffin at any chance there will be a good Star Wars movie again.

If your problem with the Star Wars movies started with "Return of the Jedi", then probably there isn't much they could do to fix it for you.
It was actually a pretty good film. The Prequels are better than people give them credit for... yes, this guy was awful.

But most of the rest of the films were pretty good.
Force Awakens is when it started to go bad, when they stop doing creative decisions and started running it like a business.

Yep... as many Star Wars fans agree... unnecessary fluff that interfered with the story line.
What was good about Lucas was also one of his downfalls. That independent "I want to do what I want to do" is what made Star Wars possible, but problem being that same attitude was carried out with his bad ideas as well.
Perhaps I misrepresented... Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back were like Godfather and Godfather II... Return of the Jedi was like Godfather III... a good movie as a stand alone, but not the glory of I and II.
To me, Attack of the Clones was particularly bad. The actor playing Annakin was God awful,,, the kid simply cannot act. No idea why they chose him.
Revenge of the Sith was clearly better, but you still had to get past the bad acting of that kid.

Once a thief, always a thief?Just finished "watching it"
Movie is definitely not the worst of the series. Kind of a convoluted mess but passes as a starwars movie. Kind of a shit ending but when you've written yourself into a corner theres not a lot you can do to fix it.
And no, I didn't pay. Fuck Hollywood
