After watching this, it really pisses me of how much of a letdown the prequels were. ROTS and the end of AOTC were the only parts that are worthy.
I will let my emotional high wear off and re-rank them, but here it is at this moment. 1. Empire/Rogue One 3. Return of the Jedi 4 A New Hope 5. Revenge of the Sith/The Force Awakens 7. Clone Wars 8. The Phantom Abortion Last edited by notorious; 03-25-2017 at 07:36 AM.. |

We'll see how I'm feeling in a year, but when I left the theater I had Rogue One as third behind ANH and Empire. Now I'm thinking it might eventually be in second, but I'll give myself until the release of 8 to decide the final rankings.
Where I am now: Empire ANH/Rogue One ROTJ TFA ROTS TPM AOTC |

Seeing all of the TIE's come barrelling out of the space station was awesome.
There's a shitload of HD clips on YouTube now.

I think the movie wouldn't have resonated as well had Galen and Jyn (and the others) survived. I think the fact that it ended up being a massacre just....fit. Everyone died, but the goal was achieved.

Right. I was really worried about Disney dictating some kind of escape and lived happily ona remote planet somewhere. The way it ended was the way it HAD to be.

It's very hard to rank Rogue One ahead of A New Hope, because so much of it's mythos is built on what A New Hope put out there.
I think I would put it ahead of Jedi, though. Jedi pulled on a lot of already established story but didn't execute it as well as Rogue One did. Plus Vader is a huge pussy cuck in Jedi, other than the opening scene when he makes Moff Jerjerrod wet his pants.

While I recognize that Empire is the best overall movie, I'll always prefer the original Star Wars (A New Hope, whatever - I'm old, to me it will always just be Star Wars). I remember how the movies made me feel the first time I saw them. Star Wars blew me away - I saw it more times in the theater than I can remember. I left the theater thrilled. With Empire, I left the theater thinking how the **** can Darth Vader be Luke's father? Is he lying? That sucks.
So the original Star Wars was my favorite of the originals, and Return had the best parts - the interaction between Luke, Vader and the Emperor. It also featured the best moment in all the movies - when Vader saved Luke and chucked the Emperor down the shaft. The cheer from the audience of the packed Kennedy Theater during that scene is still the loudest I've ever heard for any scene in any movie. That being said, the movie as a whole was dragged down by the whole killer teddy bear bit, but still, the other stuff pulled it over the top. As far as Rogue One goes, it's the only movie since the originals that managed to captured the feel of the original. Watching it brought back the 11-year-old kid who sat in wonder watching the original back in 1977. So in order, here are my favorites: Star Wars Rogue One Return of the Jedi Empire Strikes Back The Force Awakens and **** the other three. |
