The last Star Wars movie I enjoyed was Jedi: Survivor.
Ironically, the last Indiana Jones movie I enjoyed was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

I'm a huge star wars fan, every time I hear star wars fans complaining about Star Wars it's literally just this:
spot on. they also don't realize they're just repeating the same mistakes of the grognards who were shitting all over the PT twenty years go.
ppl don't change.

Me thirty years ago. In 1977 my entire life revolved around Star Wars. Still haven't seen the last movie
Same. 8 was such a ridiculous clusterfuck of a film that I lost all interest in seeing 9.
You’re not missing much. I’ve see the og movies more times than I can count. I’ve seen the sequels once. They are REALLY bad. Holy shit. I say this as a huge SW fan (I mostly read SW tbh)

Loved the 4,5,6. Then I warched the "1" and thought what a shit film. Stopped after half of the 2, never looked back.
I remember watching parts of the original trilogy and thinking they were interesting but were ultimately full of that boring interpersonal drama stuff. When the prequels came along, they really got me into the world building aspect of the story and gave me a love for Star Wars as a whole. After that and getting older, I gained a greater appreciation for the older films as well, even though I'm still not much a fan of interpersonal drama stuff (and, perhaps unsurprisingly, movies in general.)
From what I understand, the sequel trilogy doesn't fit very well with the established world building, and is iffy on the interpersonal drama as well, so I don't have much desire to watch them.
Lightsabers are overrated.
sorry, i'm too busy enjoying The High Republic. but farewell to you!
It stopped being any good after "Episode VI". And before it, it was just a kids fairy tale in a space-themed Trenchcoat.
I stopped caring after the second trilogy, tbh. And even that, IIRC having watched them quite a few years after they were released.
I don't care about spinoff X on IPTV service Y.
Yeah, its all mostly meh. The originals were great mostly because I was a kid. Prequels were trash, but 3 was the worst of them. 7 was only better because it looked like they were going back to the roots of SW. 8 and 9 were absolute trash. S1 of Andor and Mando were some of the best stuff they've done in that universe. The rest of it adds very little value at all.
That said, the universe itself is rich and interesting and I wish there was more content that dives into it. KOTOR was my favorite entry in the universe overall and arguably has the best writing.
Also, I would still love to see a buddy cop sitcom set in some metropolitan planet. Think Brooklyn 99 in space. Doesn't even have to be SW. I just want this show.
Prequels were trash, but 3 was the worst of them.
TWO was the worst of them, IMHO, but you deserve credit for realizing that 3 is overrated and a saber battle with lava and a bunch of good guys dying just makes it dark, not good. It has every issue that 1 and 2 do, and adds a few new ones.
Dial back Jar Jar, age Anakin up 5 years, and accept that Liam Neeson is the lead, and you've got a halfway decent Star War.
Q: Why did Qui-Gon lose to Maul?
A: He was tired from carrying the whole movie.
Two is only "better" due to the fact it was entirely unmemorable. I recall something about a cloning facility on a water world and some robot guy that wasn't a robot.
The worst sin in three IMHO was belaboring every little plot point to connect up to four. It was brutal to watch. In many ways it reminded me of the "writing" for the last season of GoT.

I'm proud to have kept my anti-Star Wars stance for so many years now. Yes, a good amount of it is spite because people in general won't stop talking about it; However, I've seen enough of the films to find them not entertaining. I won't claim that anything I like is superior, it's just been more fun to tell people that I don't give a flying fuck about Star Wars.
Never gave a fuck never will, I even dont care if matrix 2 is good or any remake
