A New Hope has tighter writing than Empire Strikes Back.

I guess it does. Apart from the story, all the world-building and character introductions needed to be done, and it also has a story arc on its own.

The first act of RotJ is my favorite part of the movie.

Agreed.

TRoS is the most enjoyable of the sequel trilogy. TFA was the hardest to sit through.

Just the other way round for me.

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

Me neither, it just seemed somewhat forced. Strangely, what annoyed me most was when he shot Chewbacca’s crossbow and was surprised about its power - as if he had never used it in the decades they’ve known each other!

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.

Sounds interesting, maybe it would have been better?

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.

Agreed. Maybe that’s why Harrison’s performance was somewhat off.

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.

He never should have taken it off in the first place! It totally destroyed the aura. Imagine Darth Vader had taken off his helmet in ANH after a few minutes!

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

How is this an “unpopular opinion”? Isn’t that a consensus?

Lando is better than Han.

No, he isn’t. Sorry.

Mandalorians are overused, and are no longer cool.

In general, maybe. But THE Mandalorian is still cool, I think.

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.

How was it ever underrated? It is just poorly made and an awful movie. When I watched it in theaters back then, I was more laughing at the unintended comedy of the bad writing and acting.
