A New Hope has tighter writing than Empire Strikes Back.

Could you elaborate on this. I’ve always been of the opinion that ESB had the tightest script but I’d be glad for a different take.

I didn’t like Harrison Ford’s performance in TFA.

Agreed.

Servii said:

Phil Lord and Chris Miller should have been allowed to finish Solo, and the movie should have been a comedy, though ideally, it should have been a Lando movie instead.

Though I’m pretty indifferent to Solo and question if it should have been made at all, I’m always in favor of the original director(s) being able to finish their work.

Killing off Han in RotJ would have been a mistake. If there was any time to kill him off, it should have been at the end of ESB during the freezing process.

Yes. Absolutely.

Servii said:

Kylo Ren’s mask should have remained destroyed and never been repaired or replaced. That was one of the parts of TLJ I actually liked.

Modern Star Wars is mostly bad, only occasionally having moments of greatness.

Agreed on all counts.

Servii said:

Lando is better than Han.

I like Lando but he gets very little to do outside of ESB and Han feels more fleshed out overall.

Mandalorians are overused, and are no longer cool.

I’m not (yet) tired of Mandolorians, but I feel sure I will be before long. I am pretty much done with Ashoka after Season 7 of TCW.

Revenge of the Sith has gone from underrated to overrated in the span of the past few years, and I don’t fully understand why.

I feel like the Plinkett reviews likely moved it in one direction, though I wasn’t really paying attention to the fandom before 2010. The fall out from the ST combined with a sudden onrush of Prequel apologists resulting from the generation who grew up with the PT coming of age has moved it the other way. Personally, I feel that its too flawed to be held in the same regard as Star Wars or Empire, but its up there with Jedi as an ambitious, at times brilliant, addition to the saga.
