Worst Star Wars movie.

If I was the emperor of Hollywood, I would remake this movie. Recast, rewrite the whole thing, and make a new Return of the Jedi. Then... and this is the more clever part. After we fix all this movie's BS, we can launch right into the aftermath of the Heir to the Empire timeline with our new young cast and make all the next movies the way they're supposed to be.

I’ll agree the beginning is slow and too kiddie but the last 45 minutes have some of the best scenes out of any Star Wars film, it’s certainly the weakest of the OT but it’s miles ahead of those godawful Disney films

This"honour " lays on Episode VIII

Worst of the OT, absolutely. Worst of the Star Wars Franchise, not even close. My opinion the worst is VII (TFA). That is the one that fundamentally changed and undermined the OT lore and mysticism while being a bad soft reboot/remake (but with worse pacing, character and plot structure) that was also supposed to be a direct sequel (how can something be a sequel and a remake). it was basically a copy paste job from ANH but then went a changes some of the nouns (and sucked all the soul and broke the magic system while negating the accomplishments of the and ruining the OT heroes) and shot it with pacing like they were on crack.

Then through in a blatant "annoyingly good at everything Mary Sue" and a emo darth vader wannabe; and a dash of discount Tarkin and Emperor; and remove all the world building and replace it with unsolvable (nonsensical) Mystery boxes and you basically have an abomination of a Star Wars film.

While many think Last Jedi was the worst; I look at the condition of Star Wars plots and lore after TFA and see a disjointed mangled mess of a story to try to put together. Sure Last Jedi doesn't even attempt to put the pieces back together and tries to go off and do its own nihilistic thing which is pretty bad too; but if TFA was a tight story that actually had a real direction Johnson could not have been able to do what he did with the story. He was totally free to do what he did because TFA did not world building and left no direction to go (unless they planned on just repeating ESB like they did with ANH with TFA).

Worst of the originals, sure. The middle segment dragged; C3PO being reduced to a mcguffin (come on, everyone else in the squad on Endor is in camo-gear) and of course the Ewoks.
The prequels are all worse. And the less said about the Disney trilogy, the better.

We went from a Dark Serious ESB... To a child film with silly teddy bears.

I think it's one of the best. I find it weird how people like to pick apart the original trilogy though. They all flow and work together. It wouldn't make sense to do another dark toned movie after Empire. Jedi provides the day after the dark night. The catharsis and resolution.

"but I don't like THIS element!"

You're picking apart pieces of the whole. The overall movie and trilogy is great. Nagging on Ewoks or whatever misses the point of why Jedi and the original movies are so good to begin with.

There's no part of the OT I don't like but I have my favorite parts. I liken this to having a favorite song. There are certainly parts of your favorite song you like better than others, maybe it's the bridge or a certain lyric. Yet there's no part of it you dislike because it's all your favorite song.

I'll say, one of the best. All three from the original trilogy were quite good.
Attack of the Clones and the new Disney films are the worst.
