Way better than tlj throne room and Luke projection

dancing

Luke's a literal ghost in this scene

I like the more flashy lightsaber fights like from the prequels

like the sequel trilogy fights are so forgettable

i just think it's funny you're criticizing a duel for looking like dancing when you unironically think this is peak star wars and doesn't look like dancing

also he's not a ghost yet he's a force projection

the last jedi fans almost never say what they like about the movie instead they just say better than the prequels pretty telling

Duel of fates they aren’t even swinging to hit it’s a literal dance

I remember Neon being so excited for Last Jedi and then being disappointed it was pretty funny

Dude still holding on to it

Nothing's "telling"... I love every Star Wars movie (except RoS). Clones is pretty stupid but at least George had some soul.

TLJ has the visuals, the writing, the overall vibe that I love. It's the only Star Wars movie that hits as hard as Empire for me. I say this as someone that's loved the s*** since I was a little kid

Somehow… Palpatine returned.

They fly now!?

They fly now

sad to see star wars fall off

how does TLJ hit hard tho

okay for sure just notice people always insulting the prequels when they bring it up

but to each their own we aint gonna agree that's for certain after 5 years of the same tired debate

Turns Star Wars on its head just like Empire did

this is hating at it's absolute finniest

Those OT fights are overrated. The ROTJ duel is edited so shoddily compared to Empire. S*** has like 6 jumpcuts from the moment Vader and Luke cross blades to when Luke kicks his ass down the stairway.

Prequels>>>>>>

me watching mando

i was about to say ur real for calling out revenge of the sith but then i realized ur probably talking about rise of skywalker so im revoking that

still real for tlj love tho

Explain how though because it didn't introduce anything new to Star Wars. It retreads old ground that's already been done in the original trilogy

Yeah you're all over the place lol. You'd rather bro was hating on revenge of the sith which is arguably one of the best Star Wars films vs Rise of skywalker which is easily one of the worse? Then you big up bro for loving TLJ. Yall are tweaked. sorry

The execution of almost everything in Revenge of the Sith is poor. Whether it be attempts at emotion (which I don't chalk up to just typical Lucasian writing/directing because I think there are emotional moments in the first two installments of the PT that hit very hard) to the turn of Anakin which is done far too sloppily and hastily. Really great concepts and it's cool that we finally get to see the most pivotal moments in all of Star Wars captured on screen but it falls far short of being a great film when you actually sit down and watch it.

TROS, barring a few plot devices that I'm not a fan of is the closest thing we've gotten to an OT film since the OT. It's a love letter to almost everything Lucas was trying to achieve with the first three films modernized for a 2020 audience. He won't ever admit it because he's too bitter about it all now but you can go back and read/watch tons of Lucas interviews from the 80's where he talks about what he wanted to achieve with these films and what he still wants to achieve and you can find almost all of it in the DNA of The Rise of Skywalker.

TLJ is simply the greatest Star Wars film ever made and that's that.

I understand your complains with Revenge of the sith but there's so much more to love about that film. No other star wars movie truly captures the scale of this world likes this movie. The CGI and action is great and still holds up today. Amazing lightsaber duels. The music is incredible. The actors put up great performances even though the dialogue can be off sometimes.

As far as The rise of skywalker, I'm sorry bro but I don't understand what you're saying. It's just genuinely a trash movie in my eyes. Also say what you want about George Lucas but he'd never remake OT like Disney did with the sequel trilogy. The Prequels were new and fresh regardless of their flaws. They expanded the world of Stars Wars in a crazy way. We got so many great shows and content thanks to those films like the clone wars show and The Mandalorian. Then the sequels just closed that world back up because they were afraid. We will never get content in that era again cause it just set the Star Wars universe back. Fear is the enemy of the sequel trilogy and it's why it failed.

How is TLJ the greatest Star Wars film ever made? You folks that praise this movie never seem to be able to explain why you actually think this

In fairness I do like ROTS the most out of the prequels for the reason I stated in that post. It's the culmination of so many things and it's really cool to see those things on screen. The music is great and the CGI does hold up much better than TPM and AOTC do, but I just can't buy its status as the GOAT Star Wars film that so many people around my age crown it as, it could be so much better than it is.

People say that the Sequel Trilogy shrunk the Star Wars world but I genuinely feel people mean that in a literal sense and just don't like the environments created for the ST, something that I actually agree with btw. The ST introduces us to so much that can be explored in the future whether it be criminal organizations and gangs, characters that can be further followed up on, new power concepts, etc. Nobody can definitively say that the ST set Star Wars back because we have no idea what the future holds. It's super easy in hindsight to say that the other two trilogies opened doors for so much content outside of the trilogies themselves... but that's only because they've already happened. I don't know if you keep up with any Star Wars literature but there have been a few novels released in and around the time of the sequel trilogy and it's all pretty great stuff, and they barely scratch the surface of what still can be explored.

Ignoring all the technical stuff that makes TLJ great, I just think it's the best Star Wars story that's ever been crafted. Rey discovering more about herself, Finn finding his purpose, Poe, Leia and Holdo struggling and battling for leadership within the resistance. The conflict of Kylo becoming more and more apparent. The decision to take Luke in a direction that ACTUALLY reflects the full character he's always been instead of just simplifying him down into a caricature of something he became in the last 15 minutes of Return of the Jedi. And in my opinion, the biggest win of The Last Jedi (and the ST as a whole), is it finally made the Force feel as mysterious, mystical and powerful as it always should've been.

Niggas are insane
