Apart from The Last Jedi, which is currently my all-time favourite Star Wars movie
I’m sorry, what?
What? Is it some sort of crime to rank TLJ as my all-time favourite SW movie?
Don’t you know? Ranking any Star Wars film above ESB (except ANH or RotJ, depending on how the community feels that day) is punishable through death by rancor pit.
BTW, I’m surprised you liked Star Wars Rebels after the way the butchered Thrawn, a methodical military strategist who’s twenty steps ahead of everybody and lends himself to more mature storylines, ruined by being introduced in a kid’s show and being thwarted by whiny teenager Ezra Bridger.
I agree with Rebels, though it’s problems go far beyond ruining Thrawn. I’d argue the only real issue with how they handled him is how he just continuously lets the rebels win on purpose to “study” them. It’s a cheap excuse, but not as bad as having him lose to them weekly through mere incompetence. Plus, when he finally unleashes his attack, he does a damn good job.
My problems have more to do with the dull stories, bland new protagonist (Ezra), and overall childish tone (and I say this as someone who watches mostly kids’ shows). At first, I was apprehensive about using an all-new cast, but all of the characters were well used in the end. All but Ezra.
But now can I get the show I actually wanted? You know, with Luke, Han, and Leia going on adventures between ANH and ESB? What’s that? You’re relegating that to comics? Thanks a lot. /s
