Now lets change the subject and talk about how ridiculous it is that I have ROTS ahead of ROTJ and TFA.
At least it isn’t above Rogue One.
It is for me. Most of them are above Rogue One, mainly because I find that movie utterly tedious, with all the boring characters, especially Jyn, who is the most bland protagonist in any Star Wars film.
Up ur eh
I thought the characters in RO were kinda bland the first time, but they grew on me over the next couple of watches.

In a surprising turn of events I think I agree with you.
The first 5-10 minutes or so of Rogue One > The entire PT.

Low bar.

Wow, it was the exact opposite for me, I loved Rogue One when it came out, but with every watch I just dislike it more.
Not enough people read the EU.
I’ve only seen Rogue One twice and I enjoyed it more the 2nd time. I didn’t mind the rather slow first act and its exposition during my second viewing.

I agree!
About the long discussion about Mary Sue, It is probably very interesting, albeit a bit boring and hermetic for someone like me whose mother tongue is not English, to read 67 messages that digress subtleties of the English language in a thread name “ranking the SW films”…
IMHO, Mary Sue or not, the most interesting thing is that the hero of the new trilogy is a woman, not a man, isn’t it ? Discussing about her “Marysueness” and about the derogatory aspect or not of this word, is it not already a mysogynous act ? I mean, while we discuss vocabulary, we do not speak about the most interesting fact: the main character of the new trilogy is a female character, as only 28% of current movies (according to Annenberg report for Women in Film)… After that, is her character subtly constructed or not, that’s another question…
[TROLL=ON]Jar Jar Binks is a Gary Stu[TROLL=OFF]
I have specifically asked that the Mary Sue talk should stop. Thank you!
Where were you in '77?

Sorry, I didn’t see your post in this very long thread.
My apologies! Feel free to remove my previous post.

This.
(but R1 is visually wonderful - like Episode I to VI -, that’s still something. It’s not a cheap looking movie such as TFA)
Visually wonderful, just like Episode III.
Oh, wait.
Ceci n’est pas une signature.
Yep, one frame over an entire movie (and always the same one being used…). Do you know EpIII is not an album but a movie with 24 frames per second ?
(as a matter of fact, even this still is better than most of TFA shots…)
Visually wonderful, just like Episode III.
Oh, wait.
Yes, Photobucket does suck.
I’m curious to see some screenshots of episode vii looking worse than the prequels.
(Although I will admit episode I does look good)
That’s because it’s not a 2 hour long video game cutscene.

That’s one of the very few things that qualifies it as a movie. Maybe even the only thing.

If ROTS was a two hour static photobucket error I’d probably rate it a bit higher.

Weird way of thinking indeed (but hardly surprising).
I’m curious to see some screenshots of episode vii looking worse than the prequels.
Many shots and locations look poor/cheap (such as both villages on Jakku, the Resistance Base, the entire ending helicopter shot), but this one is quite terrible:
(and it’s not only one frame, it’s an entire and very long shot which is probably one of the worst ever seen in a SW movie)
But TFA is nevertheless a SW movie and hence has a few good shots (and locations, even if they are basically rehashing things already seen in the other episodes) here and there, but not enough compared to the 7 other movies ('cause R1 at least got it right, sadly even if the story itself is good the characters are boring).
Did you just pick a random frame from the movie? I don’t see what’s supposed to be so bad about it. Especially compared to the plastic CGI look of Clones and Sith.

Oh yes, I can not wait to discover this new lesson about nuances of English vocabulary …

I have no idea you got there from what I said. Pixar movies have direction, acting, writing, emotion…as far as I was able to discern, ROTS had none of these. However, what it did have was 24 frames each second. Great job George on that front.

Squirrelface, amirite?
I’m sorry Wook but I can’t let this go.

Absolutely! And it was long overdue.

No. Calling out a misogynistic term for being misogynistic is not a misogynistic act. That’s ridiculous.
