You guys have stingy expectations lol.

I'd watch a 3-hour drama of Galen Erso designing and overseeing construction of the Death Star, with not a single Vader sighting or laser blast, and I'd be happy.

That's a novel. It's called "Catalyst." And it's better than Rogue One. And he only designed the weapon. Design and construction of the facility itself was done by the Geonosians.

My favorite was Bodhi Rook. That's a character Ill never forget.

Wait until you see Bodie the Sith Lord.

Watching Rogue One right now actually. First time I've brought myself to watch it outside of theaters. It's boring AF. Boring plot, boring characters. Dope props / aliens / costumes / effects though. They nailed the look and feel but just didn't make a very good movie.

Rouge One is top 3 of all star wars movies

Even if it was (and it isn't as RotJ and TFA are easily better), lets not pretend like that's some impressive feat. Star Wars as a film franchise has way more duds than hits from a quality perspective. RotJ and TFA are both servicable movies that get hype because they're attached to two of the greatest blockbuster films of all time. Prequels are all a complete mess.

My personal order:

New Hope
Empire
Force Awakens
Jedi
Rogue One
Sith
Phantom Menace
Clones

Flip ANH and Empire and you've go my list. Empire is heads and shoulders above the rest IMO. That's straight up one of the best movies of all time regardless of it being a star wars film.

I know Empire is a "better movie" than A New Hope, but I still like A New Hope better. Obi-wan > Yoda, trench run > Hoth, Death Star > Bespin.

Wizards obviously prefers a love triangle between Leia, Luke, and Han even after the fact we know Luke and Leia are siblings.

Still have a hard time believing George was planning for Leia to be Luke's sister in Empire given the kiss. Just too... long.

Clearly when given free reign George doesn't think too clearly, just look at the prequels. He also pushed for garbage like this:

In the primary theatrical poster for each Star Wars film to date, the primary antagonist for that individual film (NOT the primary bad guy in the overall universe; key distinction) is in the top/back, posed "over and behind" the other characters.

Guess who that is for "The Last Jedi"

Edit: there may be some dispute on the poster for Episode II, but it still loosely holds true

Grey Jedi Confirmed.

He will be the "bad guy" at the end of this one, as Kylo and Rey decide to team up to defeat him and/or go against his will in learning to use the Force.

It ends on a dour note ala Empire, as the audience is upset with Luke for being stubborn and maybe even legitimately an antagonist, and also because Rey heel turns to Kylo's side as a result. It will end with Finn captured and the Resistance in true peril without a hero.

Episode IX will see them recognize Luke's new ideology as the right way to end "good vs evil" once and for all, but they will have to escape/defeat Snoke to make it happen. Luke will die having taught Kylo and Rey that ALL emotions and aspects of the force must be respected, thus bringing true balance to the Force as originally prophesized.

Disney announced a new trilogy and tv show.

That may be too much Star Wars for me. Idk about the die hard fans, of which I am not.

EDIT: Damn. Beaten by a die hard fan.

Depends if they're good. I love the Marvel Netflix shows but Agents of SHIELD is trash, for example.
