I love the politics, tbh.
TFA is a disgrace of a movie. As much as people whine about Hollywood reboots of recent years at least those movies came up with a new plot. The total plagiarization of ANH coupled with the worst Mary Sue I ever had the misfortune to endure makes TFA one of the worst movie I ever saw.
TPM and AoTC were occasionally boring with some cringy dialogue. A way smaller offense than the above.

I can see why people dislike ESB (even though those people are wrong) but ANH? It baffles me that anyone could consider that the worst SW film.
Did you put ANH and ESB the wrong way around?
I've never met anyone who disliked ESB. Met plenty of people who couldn't get into ANH, but I convinced them to keep watching and they liked the rest of the saga.
Originally posted by relentless1I'll give u the benefit of doubt with not mentioning James Earl Jones giving one if the best voice acting performances in the history of film, since u might not be counting voice actors. But Alec Guiness, weak? Wtf.
A New Hope.Its so dated and boring and the actors are weak except for Cushing and Ford. At least TPM had Sidious, Maul and Qui Gon and ATOC had the detective story along with a huge Jedi battle.
I enjoy alot of the physical sets in TPM, and the comparatively limited use of CGI. It's still shit, but given those elements and a little Maul and Duel of Fates, it's superior to AotC. That movie is utter trash.
Simply "having a detective story" doesn't mean it was done well (it wasn't, it was a colossal pile of gooey tampons). The huge Jedi battle was emotionless, shoehorned, useless, fanservice--the opposite of quality. And I think people are confusing Liam Neeson with Qui-Gon Jinn. Neeson's not a perfect actor; he's fairly flat and doesn't do well with a stoic character who barely has any character written in. He's great when he's murdering people, looking threatening, or thwarting Nazis.
But Qui-Gon was a poorly written and poorly performed character. And it wasn't Neeson's fault.
AotC is terribly underated imo
McGregor, McDiarmid, Lee, Morrison, Jedi Temple inside, Palpatine's political games, Battle of the Geonosis, Fett vs Kenobi. No way it's worse then Anakin's "yuppy" and a lot of Jar-Jar in E1.
And Neeson is the strongest point of TPM as well as the weakest one. We have a guy, who stole the whole movie and it's screen time. And this guy wasn't even imporatant for the Saga.
