Thanks all. I’ve seen 4 through 7 as well as 1 (that thing was weird af IMO). So I should be good to go then I believe. I still want to watch the rest of them. I start rogue one with little JM but he for some reason was convinced Luke was in it so he through a shitfit and we didn’t finish it.
A crazy thing is happening in weird corners of the Star Wars nerd internet...regarding a new growing dislike of Rogue One and even The Mandalorian.
There is a growing cult that thinks the prequel trilogy is the greatest thing in movie history, they do like the original trilogy to a lesser degree...but 100% of Disney era Star Wars is total garbage, not just the sequel trilogy but Rogue One and The Mandalorian too.
I talked with someone the other day whose opinion was that Episode 1-6 are all perfect, but Rogue One and Mandalorian suck. I can barely wrap my brain around it.
The animated series twist these people because it's so much prequel trilogy which is their reason for living...but now Mando is tying it into the "EVIL" Disney days.
It's basically everything Lucas is perfect, everything non-Lucas is trash.
Anakin and Padme bored me to tears. Neither could act their way out of a wet paper bag. I'm a fan of Liam Neeson and Ewan MacGregor, and I feel like they were the saving graces of the prequel trilogy.A crazy thing is happening in weird corners of the Star Wars nerd internet...regarding a new growing dislike of Rogue One and even The Mandalorian.

Eh, no need to do that...the poop is already in the smoothie.I would take a poop in their kale smoothies
I was a little kid when Return of the Jedi came out. Not a fan of the prequels. Not a fan of the sequel trilogy either. Didn't like the Clone Wars (tried to watch it with my kid). Did like Rebels however.
But I am a fan of Rogue One and The Mandalorian. Also didn't mind Solo.
I actually kind of thought Rogue One was a mess. It had good moments but never really got me to care about most of the characters.
But yeah, i've seen what you're talking about too. I think a lot of it is a generational gap. For a long time we had people who watched star wars in their younger age who panned the prequels when they watched it at an older age. Now we have a generation that watched the prequels at that younger age and theyre more appreciative of it.
The sequel trilogy is just a mess no matter which way you look at it because they had no comprehensive plan. No matter where you fall on each individual movie (I, for instance, happen to think TLJ was one of the best star wars movies), there's no denying that the trilogy was lacking a complete plan and that JJ abrams had some major issues.
Mandalorian made me finally go back and start watching clone wars, which im finding also helps redeem the prequel trilogy a bit (and also adds more evidence to the idea that maybe star wars's best future lies on television)
Finished season 1 w/ little JM. Damn. I was entertained way more than I expected. Hopefully I’m not in the minority. That’s a good show. And what in the f***? Bill Burr???
I just finished those prequels as well. Woof. The mandolorian is way betterI don't think you in the minority. It's good, quality star wars in short blasts. Bonus points for the episodes more or less being able to stand alone.

I will say, little JM absolutely loves episode 3 because of the last 40 min or so. I can’t put my finger on why it just doesn’t do it for me. I did think the guy that played Obi Wan did a good job.Great SW: Original trilogy, Clone Wars, Rebels, Mandalorian, Rogue One, and Solo
Meh SW: Prequel trilogy
Bad SW: Sequel trilogy, The Resistance, Clone Wars animated movie, and SW Holiday special

Agreed. I feel like they had the same problem with the guy they cast for Kylo Ren, an emo looking little brat kid.Ewan McGregor will reprise Obi-Wan for his self-titled series on Disney+ in the future.
Honesty at first I hated Jar Jar in the prequels, however when I rewatched them in the last year with my son, I thought Anakin ruined the series, not Jar Jar.
I changed my mind on him after watching some of his other movies, I think it was a bad script.Agreed. I feel like they had the same problem with the guy they cast for Kylo Ren, an emo looking little brat kid.
