    Had TROS been a home run I would've voted for excellent but given my opinion and feelings towards it I ended up voting for very good.

    Hey all, So this has kind of turned into a trilogy ranking thread. I don't really want it to be about "ranking" because honestly I find ranked lists to be kind of . . . Fluffy.

    For example, as somebody who loves Star Wars, "Attack of the Clones" is near the bottom of my ranking list, but I still love that movie. But for somebody else, that movie might be near the bottom of their list because they actually really hate it. Rankings don't tell people how really feel about the movie.

    i'm much more interested to hear what this group of fans feels about the sequel trilogy on its own. Because maybe you absolutely loved it, but it's on the bottom of your list. Maybe you put it on the bottom of the list because you hated it. I want to get to your real feelings about it.

    And I'm actually really fascinated to see the results of this poll, because this is an extremely positive group of fans on this forum. In that sense, your critiques mean much more to me than those of the habitual haters out there.

    As films, I think the sequels stand up pretty well. Not perfect, but I do enjoy them.

    I hesitate to necessarily compare them to the originals or prequels yet, though.

    As a '90s baby, I grew up with Star Wars, but to me the movies were secondary. I enjoyed the toys, LEGOs, video games, board games, the hype leading up to TPM being just as fun as the movie itself (which I enjoyed too).

    The prequel and original trilogies have tons of material with them now, from novels and comics to video games and tabletop RPGs. The sequels are starting to get this, but they're so far from what the other eras offer still.

    For instance, one of my favorite battles of the original trilogy is the attack on Rhen Var's harbor, which isn't even technically canon anymore. But I've always thought it was so cool (it's Hoth, but in a city!) that it stands out as one of the highlights of the era to me. And in no small doubt partially because of the fact that I've played it so much in Battlefront.

    Or, for instance, the battle where the Empire massed a fleet above Felucia in an attempt to invade the hidden Rebel base on Yavin IV, but a series of surprise Rebel raids from a sizeable armada from Mon Cala kept downing the ISDs, stranding the Imperial ground troops on the fungal planet's surface. Or, in other words, one of my first sessions of the Star Wars Rebellion board game.


    The Age of Resistance just doesn't have that yet- it feels like it isn't "my" Star Wars, and not in a way that I'm complaining that it can't be, but that that it simply hasn't been allowed to yet. And I look forward to when that day comes.

    Only got to see The Rise of Skywalker now....and needed to register to get a few things off my chest and to see if I'm going mad.

    The fact that I was barely in a rush to see it sort of shows where I've got to with the franchise.

    Some general observations about the Sequel Trilogy:

    - The whole premise of the Sequel Trilogy was wrong because it undid all of the achievements in the Original Trilogy. The series started with all of the work that the heroes did in the Original Trilogy being undone, the characters regressing to what they were before the start (Hans back to being a smuggler, Leia back to being the leader of a Resistance/Rebellion and Luke all alone) and to make things worse, all three main characters being responsible for the creation of yet another monster in Ren. The reason Abrams did this was because he wanted to remake A New Hope so he needed the big bad empire v the resistance/rebels.

    - Despite this depressingly, awful premise, Abrams did do a reasonable job of remaking A New Hope and created some interesting characters and threads. The biggest threads he left dangling were Snoke, the Knights of the Ren and, most importantly of all, that the force had somehow awoken in Rey, This last point has been completely overlooked and is the source of so much frustration. How was Rey able to do the things she did? The obvious answer was because she had somehow already been trained or had powers given to her and they awoke in The Force Awakens.

    - Putting aside the justifiable criticism of The Last Jedi, the biggest criticism I would make is that Johnson failed to develop any of these key threads. Snope was killed (albeit in the best scene in the movie), the Knights of the Ren didn't even feature and there was zero explanation for Rey's powers. And, as others pointed out, this generally points to a lack of planning of the trilogy.

    - Despite these massive flaws in The Last Jedi, Johnson did do something awesome, he broke from the past. Johnson handed the next director a completely clean slate with which to re-start the franchise without it being tied to the Skywalkers (or as it transpires, the Palpatines). The one issue is that the Sequel Trilogy was supposed to be the final part of the Skywalker story but, hey, that story had already been told in 6 movies.

    - And then again Abrams in The Rise of Skywalker, fails to take advantage of this thread, and worse (and even more inexplicably since it was his own work) fails to pick up the threads in The Force Awakens! Sure Snope was dead (although resurrecting Snope would be less offensive to the achievements in the Original Trilogy than resurrecting the Emperor) but he still had the Knights of the Ren to play with, a fully dark Ren and, most importantly of all, an explanation for what force had awoken in Rey. Plus he had a clean slate to leave the Skywalkers behind and really expand the universe.

    Based on the above it is difficult to work out which is worse: The Last Jedi or The Rise of Skywalker. Bringing back the Emperor, in the manner it was done (in the opening credits for god sake) was just the final insult to the Original Trilogy.

    At least if there had been some ceremony which showed the Emperor rising from the grave that would've given some kind of gravitas to the moment where Darth Vader's sacrifice had all been in vain. Or, in keeping with the whole theme of the Force awaking, why couldn't Rey have been somehow "infected" with the Emperor's powers which is why she was abandoned? This would set up an internal struggle within Rey as she fights Ren and his Knights. How much more awesome would that have been?

    I also could not believe my eyes when The Rise of Skywalker started to roll back everything that had been done in The Last Jedi. Like I said, despite it's many flaws, it at least wiped the slate clean. By rolling back on everything Abraham actually recreated the problem that Johnson had solved. Meanwhile the movie had to move at a ridiculous pace to tell the story that Abrams wanted to now tell in this third film (which was even a different story to the one he told in his first film!).

    For me this makes the Sequel Trilogy movies the worst of all of the Star Wars movies (including prequels and spin offs) because the trilogy is fundamentally at odds with the rest of the franchise, it undermines the achievements and development of the characters in the Original Trilogy, and even then, lacks its own internal consistency.

    What could've been......

    I voted good by I have seriously doubted wether voting just okay...

    In general terms, I think the main mistake of ST has been a total lack of plans and overall arch, there have been fanservice of all kinds, bad and good, and also fanservice in other ways than usual. I mean, TFA was a copypaste of ANH and essentially OT because all the hate that the prequels received. JJ wanted to recover the 77 spirit. All this in service of the fans. And then, TFA was critisized for that lack of originality and RJ made TLJ. He tried to be risky and to make an unpredictable and a notalikestarwars movie. All this in service of the fans. That risk derived in a lot of mistakes but also very good ideas...The hate that it received made that the hate received with PT and TFA seemed ridiculous...Then JJ returned to his original idea making TROS, making another conservative movie, that undoes some aspects of TLJ, aspects that a lot of fans disliked. All this in service of the fans. And all the same, the movie is being hated... I mean, ST has obviously not followed any overall arch or script, but I wonder if it really hasn´t been any plan from the beginning, or if LF and KK decided to change that hypothetical plan in order to obey fans demands...The result, anyway, has been a very inconsistent script between the three movies.

    All that said, the weak point of this trilogy has been the scripts, but I consider that it legacy is to deliver some good charachters, as Kylo, Rey, Poe, BB8, a sweet reencounter with the old ones (Han, Leia C3PO and cheewie), and a sour one (I´ll go though this later)I haven´t liked Finn at all (although it hasn´t been annoying in TROS) nor any of the new characters itroduced afer TFA (Rose, DJ, Holdo, Jannah, DO) The acting is much better than in PT, the CGI is outstanding and John Williams is as incredible as he has always been. I am ok with new force powers, let´s see new things as they are new movies. But as I said, the lack of planification has derived that for instance TLJ wastes a lot of time in irrelevant and boring plotlines (Canto Bight) and TROS has been felt like two-movies-in-one, too rushed and with no explanation of a lot of things. Part of TROS plot could have been in TLJ, explaining the sith dagger, the pathfinder, exegol, Palpatine´s plan and his resurrection, Snoke...As an example... imagine having a full and developed explanation of Snoke being a clon in TLJ BEFORE killing him...All that kind of things makes me wonder how wonderful could this trilogy have been with more foreshadowing and without renouncing to its main ideas... All the same, it have been fun considering that it is the firsts Star Wars movie that I watch on the cinema as an adult. I watched PT when I was a child, I remember them with nostalgia and TPM was the movie that discovered me Star Wars. Nowadays as an adult I recognise that they were not very good movies, and I am very sure that the children of today will remember eps VII VIII and IX as ``their´´ Star Wars in 10/20 years, and call me a sentimental, but this is the wonderful thing of this saga. I left the cinema disappointed after my first watching of TROS(somehow it improved after second watch) but leaving the cinema I saw an eight year old or so trying to imitate the sound of a lightsaber and a TIE fighter and I could see myself back in 1999 when I dreamt to drive a podracer.

    Highlights and mistakes of ST

    General:
    +New main characters
    +Reecounter with old ones
    +New OST
    +CGI and cinematography
    -Script and coherence, plotholes and lack of background(at least background is explained in new canon novels, comics and BF2, but it should be in the movies)
    -New secondary characters(Rose, DJ, Holdo, jannah, DO)

    TFA:
    +A total reencounter with the feeling of watching star wars
    +Han and cheewie
    +Rey, BB8,Poe
    +Takodana battle
    +The end in Ahch-To

    -Copypaste of ANH
    -Finn
    -Starkiller base as a concept

    TLJ:
    +The whole arch of Luke, Rey and Kylo
    +Luke fall and redemption (The biggest and most original legacy of ST)
    +Deception about the jedi order
    +Ahch- To
    +Hyperspace
    +Yoda´s intervention and words
    +Snoke´s throne room
    +The battle of Crait(the most spectacular in the series)
    +Luke´s final battle and his exhibition with the Force

    -Canto Bight
    -Rose and Finn
    -DJ
    - Stupid humor and jokes in the very worst moments( but a few, only very few work)
    -Leia flying through space
    - Two ships chasing each other the whole film, boring
    - Ideological issues
    -Very slow pacing for an excesively long movie

    TROS
    +Leia´s treatment
    +Dynamics between Rey Poe and Finn
    +The sense of adventure
    +Death Star duel
    +New planets
    +Luke and Leia´s training flashback
    +The epilogue
    +Breathless pace...

    -...but it is also too rushed
    -Lack of explanation and plot holes in Palpatine´s coming back, his plan and being Rey´s Grandfather
    -Reylo´s kiss(Reylo as a concept is okay, the kiss in that very moment is completely out of place, I remember Jyn and Cassian last glance at each other before dying in RO...that would been beautiful in TROS)
    -DO and Jannah
    -Some of the fanservice does not work and almost breaks the fourth wall in the very worst way( Luke talking about respecting a lightsaber is almost a punch in the face to RJ, even though if you are not agree with that scene in TLJ as I am)
    -The third act in general, battle of Exegol felt unepic for me.


    A final consideration, I find a link between the mirror scene in TLJ and the epilogue in TROS, and it feels as one of the few things that is very coherent between the two movies, although it may be on ly due to coincidence or luck LOL.. In TLJ Rey asks in the cave who are her parents, and the only answer that she receives is her own reflect...In TROS she is questioned which is her surname, and she asks Rey Skywalker. No matter where or from who do you come from, the only thing it matters is who you are or want to be.

    @Jar Jar Thinks Welcome to the Cantina (and I apologize if I already welcomed you lol)!
    You make some pretty interesting points, a good amount of which I agree with.
    I always say that TFA being a "remake" of ANH (like how, in a way TPM is) was a brilliant choice for the franchise and for the characters, but was terrible for the story. TFA treading old ground meant that new fans had an exciting premise to look forward to while old fans could ignore the plot beats and focus on the fresh, new characters. Rey was an inverse of Luke; Poe was the cool guy we all wanted to be or know; and Finn was a true blank slate, able to go anywhere and everywhere. There was so much hope, so much optimism...
    But at the same time, you're right, it DOES undo a lot of what the OT stood for and what its characters fought for.

    RJ did a lot right and a lot wrong in TLJ, but I also agree with the fact that breaking those mythic chains for the saga was the best and necessary thing for Star Wars, but still honor what came before (the whole "kill the past" stuff is inherently proven wrong within his own movie, BY DESIGN. Luke does exactly what he scoffed at doing earlier; the Jedi will come back and be greater than ever because they've finally learned where they went wrong; and the Resistance will turn into a rebellion).

    TROS is even weirder. But I felt like I criticize that one enough.

    To the point of the poll, I didn't vote. I don't have a general consensus. There are a lot of great things and a lot of bad things in this ST, and we're too close to it right now to judge it fairly I feel. Maybe when the next Star Wars movie comes out (aka when fans don't feel like it's the end of Star Wars in cinema), THEN we'll be at a place to judge it, and if not favorably, at least fairly.

    I agree with a lot of this.

    TLJ gave Star Wars (whether people like it or not) a chance at some new life and to grow beyond what it's masters, I mean original trilogy, were.
    There's only so many ways to make "Star Wars" in the GFFA with the same basic mythology and the same core concepts and have it not feel boring and repetitive. You will have to accept the bumps and bruises along the way to get something great from it, but it's necessary to keep it alive.

    Marvel has an expiration date if they don't start altering their "formula" IMO. Star Wars will too now that it is more than 3 movies every 20 years lol

    I genuinely love all three trilogies, and I love that (as I see it) they are so well integrated and connected, yet have definite distinct feels, tones and looks of their own. (I find it hard to vote in the poll for these reasons. I can’t say best, only favourite).

    For me the OT will likely always be my favourite, because I grew up with it as a child, it’s what started it all, it is the heart of the whole universe that has come afterwards.

    And for me, the PT+OT will always be special, because I was only just a legal adult and still growing, it was the completed vision of George Lucas, and I loved it even if lots of other people (even many fans of the OT) didn’t.

    The ST is special in other ways. I don’t think it is as ground-breaking as the previous trilogies were in filmmaking terms, rather ‘just’ state-of-the-art, refined films that made great use of existing technology. Similarly, I feel like the stories and characters were more logical and appropriate rather than being quite as inventive or (intentionally) contrasting as they were in the PT. But that is fine.

    Part of me will always wonder what a third trilogy by Lucas himself might have been like. I think it would have been very different in some ways, and very similar in others. I think I would have loved it, but I think it would have been no more well received in general than what have got, and possibly far worse. And I completely respect Lucas’ decision to sell up when he did.

    But more than anything, I am just exceedingly happy and satisfied that we have all this new Star Wars content, and whilst I know there are many differing opinions, for me personally, I am very happy with the new content since Lucasfilm was sold to Disney, with the main saga movies being amongst the best of that.

    I now wish that Disney had not made the sequel trilogy at all. I wish they had made Rogue One and Solo and then just jumped into the TV series. We would probably have the Obi Wan movie instead of a TV series, not sure if that's good or bad. I'm excited about the series. Maybe still gotten the Boba Fett movie. Hopefully we would have had The Mandolorian sooner. Not speaking financially here, but for me the ST is a flop. I have no intention of watching any of them again. They strike me as the equivalent of some other author writing sequels to The Chronicles of Narnia or The Lord of the Rings but can't capture the feel or the magic of the original authors. I wonder if this is how people reading the Oz books not written by L. Frank Baum feel. Maybe those were good; I don't know.

    I voted- Just okay - not good, not awful, just meh

    ... although I don't think they're "just meh", they're better than that- but again, they're not that good enough to be called a perfectly fine trilogy.

    Very controversial opinion incoming:

    Very bad and if it weren't for Kylo Ren's character and Driver, Hamill, Ford and Diarmid's performances, I would have voted Awful.

    As someone who really dislikes Last Jedi, at least TLJ had good cinematography, good performances, a good soundtrack and most importantly, a vision (one I disagree with but a vision after all), Skywalker was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. And one of the most heartless and souless.

    It was made by a committee of executives wanting to please EVERYONE, make as much money as possible and needing to release a SW movie in 2019 to please shareholders. It has more similarities with The Lion King (2019) than with any other SW movie. Again, no soul. This movie, literally, has no artistic reason to exist. No reason.

    I love Rogue One and I really like The Mandalorian, but I'm sorry, the sequel trilogy is not canon for me. I'm happy so many of you enjoyed it tough.

    It's amazing how a film can seem so very different to different people. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the sequel trilogy, but it's nice you can respect others enjoyed it :). I liked the Lion King (2019) too and just don't see this 'soulless' thing at all (but I'm not saying you or anyone else don't have every right to feel that way, of course, to some degree its just an unavoidable reaction probably due to many factors).

    Since I am not a SW fan, I just went with Very Good. Given the fact that I only liked the ST. But if were to list my favourites. My favourite of the films would be:

    The Rise of Skywalker
    The Last Jedi
    The Phantom Menace
    The Force Awakens

    The first two for the complexity and character work. The third for the intricate plot and political intrigue. And the 4th for the introduction of Rey, one of the best heroines and finest young women in modern cinema. It's been quite a ride.


    Given your preferences, really Not surprised that you didn't like the ST. We all have our different tastes.

    Ehh, I've heard the "comic book movie bubble is about to burst" for about a decade now.

    I think they have some hurdles ahead of post-Endgame content... but at the same time, that's only because they're not having to alter their formula, not in spite of it.

    Say what you want about evolution (and I'm sure I agree with you on almost every point)- people would still eat up Tony Stark/Avengers movies for another decade if they'd continued, at least.

    I didn't say comic book movies. Other studios are putting out varying movies. Eventually the Marvel formula will stall and get stale. They'll have to trust film makers to make movies, not a studio.

    I mean, maybe? "Eventually", I guess, though currently I don't really see anything to suggest that drought is happening any time soon. Even Far From Home, the first post-Endgame content is, as far a I can tell, the highest grossing Spidey movie of all time.

    Again, I agree that it would be nice to see Marvel doing something new (and if the apparent crossover/collab with Sony is any indication, that may be coming sooner than we think). But I think they're pretty far from the chopping block, still.
