Theraflu 1,035 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I would recommend the book. Aside from the base concept, the movie isn't really very similar to it. But only the first book; the rest of the trilogy isn't as good. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It was fine. I thought it would have made a really great story arc on star wars rebels. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,755 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It wouldn't surprise me if they did a few more with that same cast, but the problem is that it's getting crushed by the media for underperformance. Hopefully, Disney is willing to risk it, because I would love for it to connect (or at least get closer) with A New Hope in a similar fashion as Rogue One (which I loved).

I said more than anything NOT in the original 3, and maybe more thant ROTJ. Obviously Empire is 1, that went without saying, I thought. Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,723 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 to be honest i didn't read your post very closely. i was in the middle of a VERY important work email at the time. I don't recognize the last jedi. that movie never happened in my personal record book. rogue one is good but lets pump the breaks. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 1. Rogue One 2. The Force Awakens 3. The Empire Strikes Back 4. The last Jedi 5. A new Hope don't really like any of the other ones to be honest. I give the original trilogy a lot of credit for breaking new ground and for creating a vast cinematic universe that has stood the test of time. I wasn't much of a fan growing up other than getting into it for a brief time around the time the prequels were coming out when I was 13 or 14, and without the benefit of nostalgia, I just don't find the original trilogy particularly enjoyable. I've enjoyed the 3 latest movies enough that it has re-kindled some interest for me in the franchise. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri I really loved this movie. It was not at all what I was expecting. It was way funnier than I thought it would be. I was expecting a gritty drama, and it was a full on dark comedy. Frances Mcdormand was awesome. Felt like a Coen brothers script.

brvheart 1,755 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 1. Empire 2a. New Hope 2b. Rogue One 4. Return of the Jedi 5. Solo 6. Phantom Menace (I actually really like Phantom. Probably more than almost anyone outside of George Lucas. I LOVED the podrace.) 7. Force Awakens (I love Daisy Ridley. She's fantastic.) 8. Attack of the Clones (I really like most of this movie as well. It only breaks down for me toward the end. I love the water planet.) 9. Last Jedi (I hated how they handled Luke and his whole arc in this movie.) 10. Revenge of the Sith (I just hate Hayden Christensen so much. He's such a terrible actor, and he has a major role in this film.) Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I should watch the Phantom Menace again. I remember liking it when it came out and I'm not sure if I've watched it since. Years of public opinion have told me I should hate it, but honestly, I think I've just forgotten it. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I Would agree with Brvy's list until solo. I'd have it FA, Last Jedi, Solo, then Episodes 3, 2 and 1. Bry made a good point about HC, but then again that kid they got to play Annie in Episode one was AWFUL too, and honestly, the writing and directing in those 3 movies made people like Natalie Portman, Ewan McGreggor and Liam Neeson seem like shitty actors too. I've never seen a movie series get less out of their acting talent than those 3 movies. Link to post Share on other sites
