What's the worst Star Wars movie?

It leads to Han and Leia sitting inside a space slug for around half an hour.

 

The asteroid chase is completely inconsequential to the plot and has no effect on the overall story whatsoever. It's a fun action piece and only serves to temporarily hide the MF until they get found and go right back to being chased by the Empire again. You could've sent Han and Leia to absolutely anywhere in the galaxy in order to give Luke time to train as long as they ultimately get found and fall in danger of being captured by Vader, drawing Luke to them, abandoning his training.

Why why the alien milking so offensive? Kid grew up on a farm. That blue milk he was drinking didn't fall from the sky. And Luke didn't murder anyone.

 

God I love that movie.

 

oh, he did murder the fish. And for this milking scene they did cut Luke's emotional response to Han's death.

 

TESB...jk

 

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Luke walked through poop, so… Bad movie? In what universe does that rationale make sense?

 

Are you asking what is the worst STAR WARS movie or what is our least favorite movie in the franchise? Which one?

 

Attack of the Clones. So. Cheesy.

 

Attack of the Clones is bad (for a SW film) but I will never get past Jar Jar and the two-headed announcer in The Phantom Menace.

 

All the prequels are equally in my book. They are all the same standard to me craft wise. But I they were really aimed at kids more than teenagers so I never had a real negative reaction to them other than being bored at the silliness. Rolling my eyes at bits I guess. They are not great films.

I actually think both TFA and TLJ are worse in many instances than the prequels. TFA is structurally all over the place, one minute they are trying to find Luke, the next they are trying to destroy a Death Star for no real apparent story reason before we go back to finding Luke, for no apparent reason. Which the makes the whole movie pointless in it's own entity. But most of the craft of TFA is great, art direction, cinematography, editing, music, acting. All the elements are great and it is a fun adventure film so I am happy enough with it but I do struggle to re-watch it.

I came out of TLJ with a strong negative reaction to it. It was really close to hate. I just had such a negative reaction to nearly every part of that film.

So in regards to the craft of story telling and film making, the prequels are at the bottom. In regards to my own reaction I would probably put TLJ as the worst film of the lot. I certainly have no desire to see it again.

 

Toss up between TFA and Solo.

 

For me its the Last Jedi, every other film when I saw it the first time had me bouncing of the walls been excited wanting to talk about what happens next, this was really brought home to me as i left the cinema after watching Solo and it reminded of exactly how I use to and should feel after watching star wars.
Last Jedi just left me feeling sad (yes I know its only a film), that some one would like to use the opportunity they had as basically an exercise in subverting expectations.
Also for me Last Jedi is the only Star Wars film for me where the bad out ways the good. Where their are more things i dislike then like.

I understand a lot of people love the last Jedi and I have nothing but happiness for them, I've really tried to like it, but I don't. Still its only one film out of 10!

 

I know many people disagree, but I stand by my opinion that TFA is the worst. Lack of originality, lack of character development, lack of excitement, lack of consistency/fittedness... and lack of Luke.

 

This thread deserves a poll.

 

Give me that Phantom Menace hate (except the final duel, that part's cool).

 

Rian Johnson trilogy stinks ...if you take 100% satisfaction test mine is not even +2% approval (98% in negative) holy...!!!

The last Jedi + solo are the world's worst experience to date and the force awakens is a near Miss from the list of worse SW movies because it had credible characters in it.

 

Holiday Special most certainly. Of the main ones, I would say, Attack of the Clones. As much as I love it, "objectively" it's not that great.

Oh, and The Last Jedi is a well made, well thoughout and all around good (but not perfect) movie. Yeah, I said it.

 

I personally don't agree in the slightest, sorry to take it into Trek territory, but just saying, although I think Into Darkness is the worst of the Kelvin-timeline Trek movies, I'd re-watch Into Darkness a thousand times over the appalling Final Frontier, the wretched Generations, the boring Insurrection and the absolute long-term fan insult that is Nemesis. I'd say it's probably better than the simply lacklustre Search for Spock too, although I've not seen that one in at least 25 years.

For me, The Last Jedi is absolutely, without any shadow of a doubt, without a single second-thought, without a moment's pause, better than all three prequels, and if we're talking Special Editions, then better than Return of the Jedi too (I'd put it on par with the original cut though, Jedi Rocks is *that* bad that it's septicaemia to that movie for me). I think that TLJ's great, don't understand why so many moan about it unless you have deep-rooted loyalty to the old EU... and well, quite simply I don't. Might even watch it right now in fact, haven't got much to do haha.

I'm not saying you're wrong in your opinion, it's yours to have, just saying I don't agree.

Many people love David Bowie's Let's Dance album, I however think it's one of his weakest albums, so's The Man Who Sold the World. Many people dislike his 1969 self-titled record, I think it's superb... we're all entitled to enjoy whatever we prefer. I think gloomy death metallers Paradise Lost made the best album of their career when they released the Depeche Mode-esque Host 20 years ago (plus I literally CANNOT believe it's been that long, seriously). They finally wrote decent songs! I think there was a lot of pro-tools involved, but wow, they made a real record with real songs on it. They had thousands of bearded metalheads in black t-shirts featuring band logos you cannot read call them sell-outs and they went back to writing dull roary goffick death metal, sigh, thought they could have made it as a modern synth pop band myself if they kept it up at that standard, but they went with the flow of what "most" of their fans wanted. That's just what happens with fanbases and expectations...

I also love Alien3. And Sepultura's Against - two loathed entities there. Whilst I hate Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness that many find the 'cool' movies in those respective franchises. Though with TCM, for me there's only one movie; the original.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but that's the fun of media art forms, we should all love whatever we want to love. I just hate how in the modern age that anger speaks louder than enjoyment. As an Alien fan, I thought Prometheus was pretty good. I hated all three films that came after Alien3, but thought Prometheus had promise; characters were sometimes idiots but glad it moved away from the worn out story of penis monsters and face spiders murdering people, it was like a jilted lover that promised "I can CHANGE!". I never bothered writing a single thing online about it, had a few chats with friends saying "that was pretty good, some characters were dumb as rocks but, was pretty good, looking forward to where it's going" whilst everyone who hated it and wanted penis monsters ranted online. Ridley Scott instead gave us the most empty, shallow sequel possible, totally disrespecting any potential Prometheus's story had to follow it up with penis monsters and face spiders because of online rants and complaining. Thanks angry internet. Thanks so much.

Alien was my second favourite science fiction franchise after Star Wars in the mid-90s, but because negativity speaks louder than positivity, I fear for any movie I like that in any way upsets fanbase expectations these days. I'll always have way more respect for the film-maker, musician or artist who says "this is what I wanted to make" than the one who says "this is what you wanted me to make".

I actually respect Alien Resurrection, even though I think it's complete cack, because Jeunet at least thoroughly made a Jeunet movie there; it was kooky, camp Eurotrash, just sadly in the wrong franchise. It was the Fifth Element in fetishistic Giger-clothing. Alien Covenant, I think was just pathetic. That was not a Ridley Scott movie, it was a board-meeting of "fine you want this?" compromise. If Star Wars goes down the Covenant route, I'd equally find it pathetic. Make the movies you want to make, not what angry internetters say you should.

 

I really liked the shots where the clones are boarding the star destroyers. It felt somehow gigantic.

 

AOTC, original cut. So much potential left unfulfilled. That said, I saw AOTC in IMAX at one of the national museums on the Washington DC mall. The love scenes were removed for time-the movie was great! Add in the on-point Imax screen and sound system and it was possibly a jaw dropping experience.

I won't even describe the depth/sonic charge from Jango Fett.

With the cringeworthy love scenes, it may be the worst out there, worse than TPM. If I hadn't seen the potential of a great movie, I wouldn't list it as the worst.
