The first JJ Abrams one with the chick as the lead was decent too I guess. Haven't seen Mandalorian, but the star wars nerds I know all creamed their pants when it first came out. I didn't see the original trilogy until college either. (so there is no nostalgia elevating the newer movies for me) One of the brothers I roomed with was a huge star wars fan, so he had that 3 tape set which was my introduction. Then he had 2 extra tickets to Episode 1 opening weekend, so I got one and a pledge got one to hold our place in line while we went to the bar across the street. I've seen 1-9, and only 1, 7 & 9 in the theaters. 1-3 is hot garbage. 4 is good. 5 is excellent. 6 is "a bunch of muppets". 7 was predictable nostalgia. (schmoopie STILL thinks I looked up spoilers about Han since I nailed it on the car ride over) 8 was awful. 9 I didn't mind as much as everyone else, I may have liked it the most of the 6 non OG's.

So you've seen pretty much all of them except Rogue One?
August 9, 20233 yr Just now, we_gotta_believe said: So you've seen pretty much all of them except Rogue One? Rogue one. Solo. Mandelorian. That one cartoon I saw commercials for. The Christmas special. I'm sure I'm missing a few, but I'm not a star wars fan.

Rogue One is actually really good, you should watch it. If it weren't for our trips to Disney, I doubt I would've even watched any of the JJ Abrams ones.

August 9, 20233 yr EDIT: Here's the context https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/08/us/oakland-crime-increase-naacp-residents/index.html Quote Amid a surge in crime in Oakland, California, police have advised residents to use air horns to alert neighbors to intruders and add security bars to their doors and windows. Bird, who moved to Oakland 2 1/2 years ago, said she took their advice to heart. She now has three air horns and five security cameras around her home.

Solo was...watchable. Piling on. Rogue One is a great movie. The first two seasons of Mandalorian were top notch (third was kinda meh, but it seems like they’re setting it up for a return to one and two’s style). The last three main line movies were garbage. If they would have just pumped out great movies that involve the universe like Rogue One it would have been great. But it’s Disney under Iger so they ished the bed.
