4 was good. 5 was great. 6 was ok. 1, 2 and 3 sucked in such indescribable ways, especially after waiting over 15 years for them to come out. One of the most satisfying early youtube videos for me was this takedown of episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5919C8DE6F720A2D It's so old that it had to be broken into 10 minute chunks because that was the limit on YouTube back then. There are similar takedowns of 2 and 3 by the same guy.

But then, it got worse and 7, 8 and 9 somehow made 1, 2 and 3 look reasonable, which still amazes me. I haven't watched 8 or 9, but if they can make 1, 2 and 3 look ok, they must be truly dreadful indeed.

But yea, 4 is basically a modern retelling of Kurasawa's classic The Hidden Fortress. Seriously, the plot is very similar, down to the perspective of the two lowest characters, which Lucas admitted he ripped from the movie. 5 was the real gem, in my view.

As an adult, I've never thought Star Wars was good. I've enjoyed a couple of entries, but I don't like any of the nine episodes.

I've never heard of @ObiJuanCoinobi, but I doubt he's done anything to rival Darth's guides and commitment to the bit.

Mandalorian is pretty good IMO

I wouldn’t say Star Wars sucks! The first trilogy was good, in fact, groundbreaking in the sci-fi movies field. The second trilogy was spotty, I thought two were good and the first one not, so good. I couldn’t finish the last trilogy because of the butchered concepts and Mary Sue. Since then I have only seen the two other films, two prequels that I thought were pretty good. I haven’t watched any of the streaming, animated or TV programs since the second of the third trilogy.

I have to go @anon for this.

I used Star Wars as a way to sleep with a girl. We both hadn't seen the 2 trilogies when we were kids. As adults, we agreed to start watching it together. During the first movie, thinking it was boring, we ended up sleeping together for the first time. I offered to watch the next episode a few later or so, with the same consequence. Noticing a pattern, I repeated this approach 4 more times, with the clear intent of never actually finishing any of the episodes. This relationship did not go further after finishing the 2 trilogies.

A friend, a huge Star Wars fan, refused to talk to me for a few months after I told him about this.

I've never watched it. Does it still hold up to this day?

I don't bite your lame bait with this useless post. Many here jumped to answer but they do not realized that made this crap post only to create more debate between me and that sockpuppet you created.

You can't fool me.

Empire Strikes Back was my favorite then Star Wars

Return of the Jedi was ok

I didn't watch the others

Hit or miss. I like some of the movies and some of the tv shows but there are a lot of duds too.

My only canon is StarWars under Lucas and not Disney

I remember I watched anything "Star Wars", it felt so boring that I never tried to watch again.

So, for me all of Star Wars sucks!!

I never really got into it. I probably should have watched them when they came out.

I wish they would have followed some of the books more closely. There was a lot of good material there. Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Katana fleet. The xwing series.

I’m about to drop the ban hammer on you, Dave.

I have the high ground.

All jokes aside. I’m not a fan of Disney SW but I’m such a cult fan that I will always watch pretty much whatever they publish.

When Bitcoiners are so fucking rich that we can buy Disney, then we can fix the franchise and bring balance back to the force.

At worst, it's a well financed substrate for exploring scifi concepts. I think there are some big ideas in it too that are worth thinking about. Like, the unintended consequence of removing one evil ("balancing the force") can sometimes bring more and other evils.

The first was great. The second was just bait for number 3 The third was a nice wind up to the things together.

All the others are turds.

As an adult I recently rented the first and it was still good.

I couldn't tell you one thing about any of the other movies. Nothing.

I guess SN hates Star Wars?

The original trilogy is excellent. The prequel trilogy is also great, yes it's cheesy and full of memes but I still love watching it (yes, even The Phantom Menace).

In conclusion, ALL SIX of the main movies are pretty good.

The other media cam be hit and miss but there's some good stuff out there like Rogue One (movie), The Mandalorian (TV show), The Clone Wars (cartoon), and The Force Unleashed (video game).

Anything based off Kurosawa's work is ok with me.

Not mostly, totally.

I had never got bored on a cinema until I tried watching one of those. I've never got bored again.

Least entertaining, interesting, or engaging movie I've ever watched.

I like Sci-Fi movies, though.

I don’t like Disney Star Wars. The original trilogy is great and I like the prequels despite their flawed execution because they at least serve the purpose of filling in the beginning of the story.
