Still the best Star Wars film of the Disney era


After watching The Last Jedi, this film still holds up as being the best Disney era Star Wars film.

Probably true!

But you can't really pronounce judgement on a Star Wars film until you've seen it at least ten or twenty times, so I can't give a firm opinion quite yet.

Saw it again still hold IMO. TLJ not so much, i just end up with more questions lol

Maybe.
If they had ended it right after Vader mowes down the rebels at the airlock but doesn’t get the plans, then definitely.
The Peter Cushing CGI was neat at first, but got overused.
I could have done without CGI Leia all together.
If the had just shown Vader look up at the escaping ship then cued the music and panned to the stars then rolled credits, it would have been an almost perfect ending.

Gotta be honest as bad as TLJ was I still think it was the best of the Disney films (yet still doesn't even reach the level of Phantom Menace.

Agree

My Rankings+Ratings are-

The Force Awakens-8.5/10
Rogue One-9/10
The Last Jedi-8/10(Maybe 7.5)

While I find TFA funner and that I can rewatch it more....Rogue One is IMO the better overall movie

reply

It doesn't say much but yeah...
And it is a step in the right direction IMO - a darker, grittier SW universe.

Just wantched it. Best SW film since the first three; actually, on balance, as good as the third: no Ewoks, but no Princess Leah in a bikini, either. We have Vader again—the real Darth Vader, not the Hayden Christiansen (who? whatever happed to?) Vader Lite. All the protagonists with whom we connect die! (And, you know what? I connected with them. Instead of blaming “bad writing” for a dearth of cathexes [look it up: the plural of “cathexis”) in this movie, consider the greater likelihood of the desensitizeation of our species, our society and audiences in our world). And we circle back, and learn whence the Hope in A New Hope came. Bravo. For the icing on the cinematic cake, Jyn TOWERS over Rey.

And the robot was the most genuinely humorous character in any of the films. ANY of them.
