    I'm gonna simplify my response and just name one single moment I disliked most from each film:

    TPM: FART "JOKE".
    AOTC: Ok, I lied. EVERY single interaction between Anakin and Padme.
    ROTS: General Grievous' cough. It bugged me 'cause he was an otherwise cool character with a dumb affectation.
    ANH: Tough one....maybe Leia calling Chewy a walking carpet? Seems kinda mean spirited and "racist" against Wookiees, in retrospect.
    ESB: Changing Boba Fett's voice in the SE. Continuity be damned, that was lame.
    ROTJ: Jedi Rocks. God, I loathe Jedi Rocks.
    TFA: CGI Snoke. Seems completely unnecessary. Also, the name "Snoke".
    Rogue One: Title card font and music cue.

    Ep I: Anakin should've been a bit older
    Ep II: Anakins weird dialoge when he has his tantrum
    Ep III: That the three Jedi Masters went down so quickly?? How??
    Rogue one: The weird squid mind reading scene
    Ep IV: The first part before they go on the deathstar drags onnnnn....
    Ep V: Again, the part on hoth really drags on
    Ep VI: Death star 2.0
    Ep VII: Death star 3.0

    Ep I: The ending scene in Naboo, Jar Jar, child actors
    Ep II: That F^%&$*&*^&*&^g driod factory scene with 3PO poncing about
    Ep III: More could've been done to cement Anakin's descent to the Dark Side - more than a (cool looking) march into the Jedi temple, more than a few evil stares. The youngling scene is dark, but it just all seemed too rushed
    Rogue One: The slimy tentacle monster that was simply a nuisance to people, leaving no effects on them
    Ep IV: Luke is very whiney (and very lucky)
    Ep V: The drawn out Hoth scene (if I have to say something)
    Ep VI: Ewoks. Jedi Rocks.
    Ep VII: Starkiller Base

    Ep. I: Everything on Coruscant.
    Ep. II: Droid Factory, romance scenes, Yoda fighting.
    Ep. III: Anakin's cheap turn and the way they edited out Padme & the beginnings of the Rebellion (somewhat related, actually)
    Rogue One: Galen's death lacked a bit, jumping around for the first 15 minute because of a lack of crawl.
    Ep. IV: Some uneven performances (bit nitpick)
    Ep. V: .......nothing......maybe the time conundrum between Luke's training and time spent waiting on Bespin but that a massive nitpick.
    Ep. VI: All the Special Edition edits other than the final space battle. Ewoks, as usual.
    Ep. VII: Artoo waking up conveniently.

    It's hard for me to say since there's a lot in Star Wars I don't like and that does include the original Trilogy but I'll try to list them


    EP I: The real lack of emotions from any characters with Queen Amidala being the most dead of them all, you know a film is bad when the worst character is the only one that is showing any emotion.
    EP II: A flat out boring film with unbearable romance and lovers.
    EP III: General Grevious not being as much of an engaging or interesting villain, He was much better establish and more badass in the old Clone Wars cartoon. The romance moments are bad. Padme and Obi wan's reaction to Anakin's turn to the dark side.

    (here comes the difficult part)

    Rogue One: Constantly changing locations in the first half. The lack of investment in the characters, emotions were being pulled back.
    EP IV: All the dumb Stormtrooper moments, not the one who bumped his head that was just funny.
    EP V: Leia kisses Luke...you know why
    EP VI: Leia revealed to be Luke's sister... just in case you didn't know.
    EP VII: Rey being able to do pretty much anything without help or making any mistake what so ever. Captain Phantasm being underused. Kylo taking off his mask at Rey's interogation first rather than metting his father after so long. Finn wasn't as interesting as he was portrayed for me and finally the focus on pratcial effects. It's strange hearing that but I honestly think JJ Abrams relays too much on practical effects and even believes that is what Star Wars is about. Effects are just tools even George Lucas knows this. He did a good job making a decent film but I believe the practical effects used got much more focus than the story or characters. The characters themselves are good but they have some really obvious issues that damage them or at least miss opportunities for better characters and some new twists and turns for Star Wars

    Well there we have it. It's weird that I have a lot of issues with Force Awakens than the prequels but still it seems more entertaining than the prequels...at least even more than EP I and II.

    But but that was one of the best lines IMHO:
    "The thought of not being with you- I can't breath."
    In the theater I did the Vader breathing, as precursor as to what comes :cool:
    Someone shooshed me to shut up :(

    But yeah their dialog makes me avoid the film.

    Episode 1: Jake Lloyd
    Episode 2: Terrible Romance dialogue
    Episode 3: Anakin's turn to the dark side doesn't feel natural. He should've been in the Vader suit earlier in the film.
    Episode 4: The first lightsaber duel doesn't hold up at all anymore
    Episode 5: Nothing
    Episode 6: Nothing.

    Ep1: Anakin being a nine year old soapbox derby racer instead of the “great pilot” O.B. said he was in Ep6.
    Ep2: The unbelievable and unearned romance between Anakin and Padme.
    Ep3: Anakin being immediately cool with mowing down his Jedi coworkers.
    Ep4: Having it be Vader’s plan to allow the Falcon to escape the Death Star. That means O.B. didn’t even actually have to disable the tractor beam.
    Ep5: Hot hot brother on sister action.
    Ep6: Everything between Leia finding Wicket and Luke leaving to confront Vader.
    Ep7: Rathtars - the rolling spaghetti monsters of doom.

    1. "The Phantom Menace" - the Tatooine sequence (except for the podrace, which I love)

    2. "Attack of the Clones" - Anakin's declaration of love (Christensen was too young to handle such flowery language)

    3. "Revenge of the Sith" - The hammy acting during the Mustafar sequence

    4. "A New Hope" - The World War 2 style Battle of Yavin (which I don't like very much)/Artoo and Threepio on Tatooine (tie)

    5. "The Empire Strikes Back" - Leia's unexplained presence on Hoth

    6. "Return of the Jedi" - Rescue of Han on Tatooine/sloppy acting of Ford and Fisher (tie)

    7. "The Force Awakens" - Too strong plot similarity with "A New Hope" and a host of other problems

    8. "Rogue One" - Rushed first half hour

    What was one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance (who is not a military leader) doing on a military installation? It's obvious that the Hoth base was not the main location for the Rebel Alliance, since the other leaders were not there. What was Leia doing there? Her presence wasn't needed. They had General Rieekan, who was not only one of the alliance's military leaders, but also one of the political leaders.

    That's sort of like saying, "Why was Mon Mothma, one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance, doing on a military battle ship in the middle of a war in ROTJ?"

    We are prisoners of modern times and the days of Generals and other leaders being in the thick of things are so far gone that it leads us to believe these types of situations must truly be works of fantasy and fiction.

    I think Leia's history in ANH alone shows that she is a hands on leader and would more than likely be there on Hoth or other major military establishments.

    Actually, that is a good question. A military leader could have explained the details regarding the second Death Star mission.



    That's not a good explanation to me. Leia was not the sole leader of the Rebel Alliance. She wasn't even the military leader of Echo Base on Hoth. They had General Rieekan, who was not only a military leader, but also one of the Alliance's other leaders. She wasn't needed there for any special mission - diplomatic or otherwise.

    What was Leia doing on Hoth? Why was she there?

    And why do so many have their undies in a twist over this one criticism?

    I wear briefs and even my u we wear isn't that tight. Leia was on Hith to avenge her adoptive dad and make good on the alliance, something she did in TFA too

    There are several legitimate reasons for Leia being on Hoth:
    • Her friends are there.
    • Her father was one of the founders of the Rebel Alliance, so she wants to do as much as she can to help further the cause and avenge the death of him and her home planet's inhabitants.
    • All the Rebel leaders have been shown to be very hands on. With the dissolution of the senate, it only makes sense for the political leaders to become more involved with day to day operations.

    TPM: The movie really drags on at some points. The pod race bores me.
    AotC: The romance stuff and the 'cartoonish' look of the movie (it hasn't aged well).
    RotS: I can't think of much at the moment.
    ANH: Though very good, it is the most boring of the OT in my opinion. I don't like the addition of the scene with Jabba because it ruins his introduction in RotJ and they just repeat what Han and Greedo already discussed.
    ESB: Can't think of anything.
    ROTJ: Jedi Rocks. I like the old cheesy disco funk song better. Can't think of anything else.
    TFA: Making Kylo Ren's freak-outs into overly comedic scenes was a mistake IMO (though a small one).
    TLJ: My biggest issue with the film is that it isn't out yet.
    RO: I didn't find the movie to be fun like the other movies, but I know it was going for a darker tone. The characters were under developed. Keep in mind I've only seen it once.

    That's your answer?:confused:

    She was trying to avenge Bail Organa's death in "TFA"?
