No, you're uninvited from the may the 4th party, and the revenge of the 5th follow-up party.
TLJ is flawed but great and would be higher if TROS weren’t such a cowardly backtracking shitshow of a movie.
ROTS is very nearly as hard to watch as AOTC, though it has some higher highs. I will personally never forgive it for forcing the most brain-twisting mental gymnastics ever to retcon ROTJ’s Luke-Leia “real mother” scene in the Ewok village.
I have found my people. I also liked TLJ. I hated RoS because literally the whole movie spent it’s runtime reversing what Rian did in TLJ.
Imagine thinking 3 is worse than whatever fucking mess phantom menace was. 7 was 4 but worse
All of the prequels are a mess. RotS just has the most meaningful scenes to the overall plot of the Skywalker Saga.
Imagine thinking 3 is worse than whatever fucking mess phantom menace was.
Want to know why Qui Gon dies from a stab when no one else ever does? The man was fucking exhausted from carrying the entire film. Liam Neeson single-handedly elevates TPM above the other two prequels.
7 was 4 but worse.
You’re not wrong, but four was that good
7 wasn’t though, it just followed the same plot structure without anything that made it good
You got the first two right at least. 5, 4, 3, R1, 6, 1, 8, 7, Solo, 2.........9.
Everything that’s annoying about AOTC is there in spades in ROTS.
ROTS just had few better parts.
The immersion breaking total lack of chemistry in 2 between Anikin and Padme, which is my biggest complaint, is hidden by his anxiety in 3. Add some of the best action sequences in SW that are found in 3, and I will have to agree to disagree with you good sir.
Are we allowed to politely disagree and move on??!! I am happy to go into my thoughts as to why ROTS can't overcome its shortcomings, but a lot of comes down to what hit me as a kid watching the OT and how the PT was such a drastic departure. Certain of those choices were rolled back in the ST, so I'm fonder of it than most, though I've been holding a torch for TLJ so long...
We can do that, especially as I loved TLJ when it came out too. 9 kinda soured my taste for it though.
2 would have been a better movie if they had cut out the Naboo part down to pretty much just the kiss, maybe with some text to say they were having a great time or something. Based on their interactions shown, I found them leaving there not liking each other as much more believable than falling in love, especially with the scenes in the capital showing how little respect they had for each other.
Then they could have used that time to make the fight against Dooku longer for each of Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda.
