Ok, I'm jumping the gun but it's that time of year again. So, who has actually watched them all, and how do you rank them? Include the off-shoots if you want. (I was 10 yrs. old when my Dad bundled us up one afternoon to drive to a one screen theatre in Carmel,Ca. We didn't have a clue what was going on, only that we had to see this movie. Mom, me, and 8 year old sister.) It changed my life. ... So in episodic order, not time line, what do you think? *1- Phantom menace *2- Attack of the clones *3- Revenge of the Sith *4- A New Hope *5- Empire strikes back *6- Return of the Jedi *7- The Force Awakens *8- The last Jedi *9- The rise of Skywalker ** *Rogue One *Solo I'm sure the "Mandolorian" comes in there, but I've never seen it- or baby Yoda.
Seen em all & I'm sad to say that they just seem like remakes of the same story line. Still an evil Empire & one or two Jedi that are gonna save the Republic, but never do. Saw the original at about the same age & was hooked!
We haven't seen Solo yet, but we will when it comes out on Disney+. I think it comes out sometime soon, maybe it has already now that it's May. We saw the rise of Skywalker in theaters, just before all the Covid19 crap happened. Once we watch Solo, I'll rank them. I will say that the number of AT-AT's or ATST's are tiebreakers for me. Ewoks are demerits, even though they were cute at the time that movie came out. I was a kid. Jar jar Binks may make that entire movie hard to watch. The mandalorian is awesome, season 2 comes out in October. My wife said the mandalorian was better than the last couple of movies in the regular series. I'll also say that I really liked rogue one. ATAT's, ATST'S beaches and palm trees?? Sign me up!! I didn't see any bars serving Mai Tai's, but with all of that shooting it might have been hard to enjoy those.
I think they were live streaming in real time when you were growing up, not certain. Worth a watch if you like that sort of thing... Just giving you chit Sav..
I have not seen any but the first two, but will add I too was taken to the first by my father as a kid, then bought the book because I had a huge crush on Mark Hamill. Read the book several times. Empire Strikes back it switched to Harrison Ford.
Mostly all good, in their own way.... except for JJB.... no, even He!! NO R1 was great for its infill story line, such a seemingly unconnected cast that led us right to the beginning of Episode IV..... brilliant. Haven’t seen Mandalorian movie yet.
The mandalorian is a series of episodes, not a movie per say. It's really, really good though. Season 1 was 8 episodes that were 30-40 minutes long each.
It just dawned on me that "Star Wars" is no longer the name of the first movie?! I saw that one in the theater when I was about 15. Saw the next two, haven't seen any since. Someday ...
I was a high senior when Star Wars came out, there was no buzz at first. I took my girlfriend (now my wife) to the movies and Star Wars was playing, no multi screens then, just one movie playing. So we saw Star Wars. We had no idea what the heck it was going in. When the movie started and the words went up the screen and faded, the the shot of the spacecraft going overhead followed by the huge empire ship chasing it, well, we were blown away. I told everyone about it. Still really no one knew about it. We saw it again 4 or 5 times again that summer (1977) at the drive ins with friends double dating. By the end of the summer it was becoming a huge hit. BTW that summer had some of the biggest movies ever, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Saturday Night Fever, Airport, and Smokey and the Bandit. I don't know if it was that year but Jaws came out around then. I don't really care too much for the latest movies too much and haven't seen the last couple, as the last one I saw basically was a remake of A New Hope.
