The more strongly I feel about reaching the conclusion that the best of the 9 so far is Rouge One. I reserve the right to change my opinion in a week or so, but I highly doubt A Solo Story is going to be any where near as good.
The cinematic visuals of R1 are great, the storyline is solid, the acting is fantastic, the pace, the settings, the characters, its all just great.
Rogue One really captured the terror of the Death Star in a way that none of the other movies were able to. Just watching the debris shoot out into space after a partial firing and watching Imperial Officers essentially having a tea party on the viewing deck, safely insulated from the terror going on planetside was a very ominous moment. Not to mention the Death Star eclipsing the star when it is about to fire.
Rogue One felt modern but it felt like Star Wars through and through, which I cannot say about Episodes 7 or 8. They are good movies but they don't feel like Star Wars, they feel like general sci-fi. Every single other Star Wars movie, including the most hated Phantom Menace, all "felt" like Star Wars. In some ways those in control of the aesthetics are remarkably lazy. Look at the casino scenes in Episode 8. There is significant material in the Star Wars canon regarding gambling/clubs/etc. It's all holographic stuff, glyphs, techy-looking. In TLJ, it's frickin' cards and tables and otherwise exactly what a casino would look like today, with everything being physical. Absolutely immersion-breaking. And not to mention stupid. Really liked the movie on the whole, but the stupid gambling scenes are absolutely unacceptable and shameful. Every in-universe precedent for gambling centers is nothing like what was portrayed in the movie.
I hated rogue 1
I dialike all the movies after 7 infact i still have to watch them
I have to agree, Rogue One was the best in the lot for me as well.
it'd be nice if they actually made an original star wars story
but this is Disney so its gonna be obi wan standalone movie
then boba fett standalone movie
then princess leia standalone movie
then han solo standalone movie sequel
and so on
My brother didn't like it because it didn't have enough female characters so the movie was sexist.
The originals can never be topped but Rogue One is def the best of the new ones. Thats a pretty low bar though considering force awakens was just a mediocere rehash of A new Hope and we won't even speak of the second abomination. I really wish they had just left star wars to the books, I feel so bad for the next generation that is too young to appreciate the originals. Star Wars as we know and loved it is dead, this shambling corpse needs to die off soon.
Ep. 6 > Ep. 5 > Rogue One > Every other movie > Jar Jar Binks > "Ep. 8"
Empire is the best Star Wars movie it's a masterpiece.
Oh man... Did any one else even realize that the acronym for A Solo Story is... ASS... Omg I'm dying rn.
have to agree. rogue one is definitely one of my favourites, and its honestly a better movie than episode 7 and 8 were.
the solo movie is kind of... i dont know. did anyone actually want this? even if its a good movie, which it might be, im really not that interested.
My favorite out of the bunch is The Force Awakens.
I found Rogue One so boring I almost walked out.
Well, I ended up loving Solo. It'll have to go Solo > Rogue for me.
Top 3 for me are A New Hope...Rogue one and Empire
TBH you just cannot go wrong with Mads Mikkelsen and Ben Mendelsohn. They are quality actors.
As for me.
The more I watch them the more I realize how shitty they are.
The best one is surely empire for me, but rogue one is good too.
The best star wars movie is a game called Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
