You didn't see ESB then?
SW, ESB and RO are practically a tie really.
I enjoyed RO very much. But it's not quite ESB for me.
Some good characters and better than Episodes 1to3. Visually it's stunning, especially the final battle.
I know it gets a lot of flack, but I prefer TFA over RO. I don't really care about the similarities between TFA and ANH, it's a fun film in the vein I feel of the original trilogy, ANH, ESB and ROTJ. The prequel trilogy is more kiddie fueled I feel, despite the attempted darkness of episode 3. Terrible dialogue and well GL isn't the best director. Looking forward to TLJ, less excited for the Han Solo film. But will give it the benefit of the doubt.
Star Wars - DN
Empire Strikes Back - FRWL
Return Of The Jedi - TB
The Phantom Menace - Moonraker
Attack Of The Clones - Tomorrow Never Dies
Revenge Of The Sith - The World Is Not Enough
The Force Awakens - Die Another Day
Rogue One - Quantum Of Solace
The Last Jedi - SPECTRE??
I'm being a bit silly above, but what I feel is that the original trilogy could be seen as the Star Wars' Connery era so to speak and the second trilogy could be seen as the Brosnan era.
Rogue One felt like a return to form for me. Especially after TFA who was a mere da capo and more of the same, an homage etc. And overall way too silly with the weakest villain ever in the SW universe.
Rogue One has given me A New Hope that Disney indeed will make great things in the future.
Another such sign is Star Wars Rebels which I obsessively love.
I'll probably end up thinking ; this is not the Solo you're looking for.
But if the movie is good , I could probably look past that. Like I could looks past the young Indy, because I enjoyed the young Indiana Jones show.
Don't much care for the characters, apart from the blind not-jedi-but-kind-of-jedi guy.
The main character is just a bore compared to other main characters in the franchise. I also kept thinking ; this could be a fan film. A well made fan film, but fan film none the less.
Darth Vader was kewl and Tarkin didn't look as bad as I would have thought seeing R1 for second time. It's much better than Jeff Bridges's young cgi double in Tron Evolution.
Rogue One is serious gritty business. I'll watch it maybe twice a year tops.
Each to their own. I don't find RO to be even close to ESB on any level. In terms of mainstream Hollywood blockbuster cinema, ESB is masterful. RO is just one of the pack for me.
Tend to agree. The Tarkin reflection was enough, beyond that I was just watching CGI that kept pulling me away from the dialogue. It's the first SW film I've watched where my mind was telling me 'You're bored' and I include the prequels in that. They are varying shades of shit, interspersed with some genuinely good bits imo, but I was never bored. RO hopped around all over and then lulled into a bit of a trough, before really picking up again. In all honesty neither of the new entries has really done it for me in the way the originals did, I'm hoping Ep 8 corrects that.
I really enjoyed TFA, but nothing has managed to top the originals for me, either.
I like them, always have since ever seeing them from 1999 to 2005. Sure, Episode I has a lot of issues, mainly being a silly kids movie for the most part. But so is TFA.
Attack Of The Clones is bloody great and the complaints about CGI I don't buy at all.
It's part of what makes those films. And it all still looks great.
Revenge Of The Sith is dark and gritty and quite violent too. A great film.
Attack of the Clones was a bit better but Anakin's pubeciant angst was just awful.
Revenge of the Sith was the best of the three but that's not saying much. My main problem with the prequels is they all look so damn fake with most of them being shot in blue screen rooms.
The main issue with the prequels is that post-TPM Lucas just thought, fuck it, I'll shoot 99% on green screen and worry about it later. As maligned as TPM is, I'll give it kudos for attempting to up the location shooting quotient, the originality of the pod race and the operatic gusto of the Maul fight. AOTC and ROTS are mired by the digital photography that, when combined with VFX, give the feel of a computer game. It's no surprise JJ approached TFA in the way he did. They are completely watchable, for me, but they lost their soul (as with all movies) when they sacrificed reality for CGI.

That's there get out ;)
But the really important thing is how the scar looks on his cheek. The part from the nose upward was a mere scratch anyway, while his cheek was ripped open in a promising way.
I was kiddy even after seeing TFA for a third time in the cinema.
Rogue One, I only bothered to see once and only rented the movie from viaplay. Wasn't actually that exited to see it again. I will buy it on dvd or bluray. But I'm in no hurry.
I think the scar works better where it is now, because the scar going up across his right eye gives him more of a resemblance to Clone Wars-era Anakin.
I feel the same way! Every time I watch TFA I always feel good. Which is the same with the OT too.
Rogue One, however, I always seem to feel unsatisfied and bored. Like it doesn't seem to quite scratch that itch. It's not a bad film by any means but it just feels more like a generic sci-fi action film than an epic Star Wars movie.
