Die Hard is Elf? I didn't know that

Like I said earlier, the SW sequels are objectivelly bad movies, but I enjoy them and will watch again.

As bad as the prequels were, I'll still take Lucas at the helm over Disney anytime. At least George took chances, pushed new boundaries, and tried to be interesting as well as technologically innovative.  He just needs a script writer like Lawrence Kasdan.  Disney just rehashes the OT, whores out nostalgia, and pushes a Mary Sue character to fulfill a political agenda.

The Rise of Skywalker is legitimately one of the worst films I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of movies.

Yes, please come back.  I, along with Mr. Plinkett, apologize for trashing the series with mean posts.  Just make Disney stop. Just make it stop....  

Help me, George Walton Lucas, you're my only hope..

I will say, for one, that I love the prequels

I love the prequels, mainly thanks to nostalgia, but I won’t argue that they’re great films.

Compared to the sequels, though, they’re The Godfather.

1. Return Of The Jedi(I might be slightly biased since this is the first one I saw but even if it wasn't I don't think much would change)
2. A New Hope
3. The Phantom Menace(The lightsaber fight scenes REALLY stepped up in the prequels)
4. The Empire Strikes Back
5. Attack Of The Clones

I have yet to watch Revenge Of The Sith. My dad (who is not a SW fan) said he'd watch it with me.... years ago. That was mainly because it's the first one rated PG-13 and all that stuff but I might just watch it by myself here soon. Once I actually get real Wi-Fi lol.

If you liked the lightsaber battles in TPM... RotS will blow your mind

Can we all agree that the best lightsaber fights are the prequels?

If you don't agree you're lying

My favorite fights are the sequel fights where they fight like toddlers wielding broadswords.

Well yeah, no one taught them how to use a saber

Noooo I had forgotten about that third mem why'd you remind me

I'm just kidding, it's funny. Just really cursed.

Like Admiral Motti's lack of fatih, I find Padme Amidala relationship with Anakin disturbing.  This is why RotS is PG-13:

Not a hot take among G fans, but:

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah is one of the most emotionally devastating movies ever.

Empire Strikes Back > The Godfather I & II

I’d rather watch ESB, but I don’t think I’d say it’s better than those.

I haven't seen TGF's so I can't say. I think The Dark Knight and The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King are better than SW.

I think the OG LotR trilogy is all better than SW.

Pethead wrote:I think the OG LotR trilogy is all better than SW.

I think TH is just as good as LOTR. How's that for a hot take?

It’s so hot it scalds me.

1. ROTK (9.9/10)
2. TBOFA (9.9/10)
3. TTT (9.8/10)
4. TDOS (9.8/10)
5. TFOTR (9.6/10)
6. AUJ (9.5/10)

Off the top of my head. It would probably be slightly different if I took a lot of time.

Godzilla is a better film franchise than Bond.

Haven't seen either.
