OTHER than episode 4, 5 & 6 :D

Just watched Rogue One as it was on ITV this evening, I think it's the third time I've seen it. Was wavering between episode 7 and this, but definitely think Rogue One is my favourite.

Proper battles in it, rebels Vs empire, nothing too weird, IMO how a Star Wars movie should be. Saw episode 9 for the first time only last month and it's way to "Lord of the Rings" for me.

I don't actually like Luke Skywalker's character in 8 or 9 (neither did Mark Hamill apparently), 8 wasn't great at all. Solo, was, a bit meh. And don't even get me started on episode 1-3.

Anyway, discuss.

Ep7 is an odd one for me. I watched it several times in the cinema over a week or so and my opinions did a virtual 180 over that time. Initially I was a small kid again as the film felt like a "real" Star Wars again after all the CGI EVERYTHING of the prequels and seeing the OG cast back was great so I was willing to cut it a lot of slack because of how it made me feel. I didn't mind the Mary-Sue aspects as I felt I could explain them with subtle aspects in the film and I didn't mind the story being a remake/reboot of Ep4 as Ep1, 4 & 7 all ended with a spherical moon/base being destroyed which was a nice symmetry. However by the 3rd or 4th viewing the gloss had started to wear off a little and the little annoyances grated far more but I was still left with a generally positive-ish memory.

Yea same with Episode 7, first time I was like, "ohhh yea were back in business" but now after watching it several times the characters are still a little "Disney" if you watch it, there are is just to odd little scene here and there which I guess is aimed at non-star wars people to make them laugh or whatever, which completely ruin things. This is worse in 8, like the scene where Chewie is going to eat that little bird thing, with the other bird thing giving him the puppy dog eyes, I mean what????????

Rogue One on the other hand has grown on me each time. Don't get me wrong, still liked it the first time but thought the pace was quite fast, with lots of characters being introduced quickly, but yea after seeing it the 3rd time last night again, it's definitely better than the others.

I hold the controversial opinion of Return of the Sith too. :p

See I do not think it's that controversial. It was by far the best of that trio, much darker and less "Disney" than the other 2.

Another thing about Rogue One is although it's not a plotline episode, it really fits in nicely to the main plot, the last scene literally directly feeds into the initial scene in EP4.

Also, I'm not ashamed to admit, the first time I saw it I thought to myself that the guy who played Gran Moff Tarkin had aged really well, hardly changed a bit.
