    I really liked.

    I loved the last battle with the red salt under the white sand.

    I thought the mirror scene with Rey was really dumb.

    Still don’t know what to think about Yodi destroying the Jedi stuff.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    For the most part I liked it. Everything with Luke, Rey & Kylo Ren was awesome. My trouble is the narrative. The b-story with Finn & Rose was really weak and with political comments; I didn't like that in a SW movie. The action scenes were great and I must conclude that Holdo is the wortst leader in the history of Star Wars - man, she blew it but redeemed herself with a very late, almost too late sacrifice.

    I rate the Star Wars moviesas such:

    Masterpieces:

    The Empire Strikes Back
    A New Hope

    Great Star Wars movies:

    Rogue One (oh yeah)
    The Force Awakens
    The Return of the Jedi

    Good SW movies:

    The Last Jedi
    The Return of the Sith

    Mediocre Star Wars:

    Attack of the Clones

    Bad Star Wars:

    The Phantom menace (except for lightsaber duels)

    I mean I have to grade these on a curve, because a bad star wars movie is still a good movie. Here's my ranking:

    1 Empire Strikes Back
    2 New Hope
    3 Return of the Jedi
    4 Force Awakens
    5 Phantom Menace
    6 The Return of the Sith
    7 Rogue One
    8 The Last Jedi
    9 Attack of the Clones

    Not a popular order so I'll justify some. Attack of the Clones is the worst Star Wars because Hayden Christensen and that dialog annoys me far more than Jar Jar Binks ever could the whole thing could have been replaced with the yellow text at the beginning of episode III. Episode 1 has the best sound track, the best lightsaber fight, and an exceptional action scene (podrace). Lots of original stuff was created. I didn't care about anything that happened to anyone in Rogue One. I thought the funny droid was funny but really it seemed like a long winded excuse to make that awesome Vader Scene at the end.

    Also the Vader scene at the end of Rogue One was written and filmed at the last minute.

    that one scene, to me, made up for the entire prequel trilogy

    lucas wanted to make anakin out to be the most bad ass person to ever live, instead he made him out to be a douche bag little pussy

    rogue one fixed that

    i would go

    empire
    new hope
    rogue one
    force awakens
    jedi
    episode 3
    attack of the clones
    episode 1 shitshow

    and even though they are cartoons, the clone wars series and rebels are both really good

    It was the weakest scene in the movie

    Agreed. It was a fan boy jerk off moment and I loved every second of it. Except the horrible CGI face on Leia.

    Well since everyone else is doing it and I’m a follower

    Empire
    New Hope
    Jedi
    Rogue One
    Force Awakens
    Last Jedi

    The other 3 were terribly thought out and not entertaining at all. I could, and have, dissect every one of them explaining why I hate them, but that much typing on a tablet is cumbersome.

    As I walked out of the theater for TLJ, I said “this will be the worst of the new 3 but still 1000% better than the prequels”.

    I'll raise you every scene with Forest Whitaker's character. Lies! Deceptions! Bor Gullet will know the Truth!

    1 Empire Strikes Back
    2 New Hope
    3 Return of the Jedi
    4 Rogue One

    This is my list. Rogue One is a better movie in many respects than 'Return' but I ranked it lower because of 1) Emperor and 2) completion of the trilogy. The prequels collectively are an abomination.
