  Andor is a good Star Wars sequel… to the prequels

  We got like a dozen sequels 😂

    “good” being the main descriptor here.

      The Last Jedi is top 3 out of the Skywalker movies easily.

      In a few short years, you’ll see. The sequels will be redeemed just as the prequels before them. Time is a flat circle.

        The prequels were redeemed? That’s news to me.

        Stunning visuals maybe but damn the story was bad and ruined any internal consistency of the space battles in the entire franchise. Rogue one is the only good Disney SW movie, Solo is fine too

        nah. the sequels were fun in an initial watch, but have no staying power. they are just bullet point reshoots of the original trilogy.

        the prequels have issues but at least they are actually original ideas, which is why i find them redeeming now.

        I can’t say never, but TRoS is a fucking awful movie (not just as Star Wars, but a terrible cinematic experience) and I think it’s really damn hard to redeem a trilogy with that as a bookend.

        The only reason I started to enjoy the prequels was because of r/prequelmemes

        I think only the first episode has been “redeemed” in any way. Mostly because the pod race and darth maul.

        The other two are still horrible.

      The Force Awakens was good, mostly by way of just being A New Hope again.

        I feel like people believe this because the next two movies were so awful. I’ve always felt like the force awakening was worse than the prequels. None of the good story telling from a new hope was transferred.

  My wife asked me when we’re watching Star Wars. I told her “When the story is finished”.

    From my point of view Star Wars was finished the second Disney acquired it.

      All Star Wars suck balls.

      I can’t believe people like it for any other reason than nostalgia.

      There are so many better pieces of media.
