Rogue 1 and TFA are a tie I've only seen them each once I'm not sure I have a definitive opinion on them.

Sith
Clones
Menace


I don't know how unpopular that is. It's not far off from the general accepted opinion of fans.


We went off the unpopular track several posts back and just started listing our favorites.

Here's one:

I love Boba Fett. I've loved the character since I first saw the toy before Empire even came out. I would fucking love to see a film or a miniseries with him as the main character. Especially if does something to take him from sad little Clone-son to baddest ass bounty hunter in the galaxy. Bring on Fett!

I've seen a lot of hipster backlash against Boba Fett.

I've never understood the massive love for Boba Fett. Even when I was a kid and the prequels didn't exist.

I've never seen or heard of any backlash against him though, and certainly not from hipsters(?).

I think the backlash was 1) his treatment in the prequels sucked and 2) his cool mystique would be further ruined by a standalone Fett movie.

I don't dislike them, but they are a part of ROTJ not being quite as good as ANH and ESB. They are cute and play their part well, but I certainly prefer the scenes with Vader and Luke.

I sort of see the Ewoks and Boba Fett as being very far apart in both character and popularity. When I was young and everyone loved Boba Fett, very few seemed to like the Ewoks.

I love the ewoks. Genuinely love them. And I think their addition adds a lot to ROTJ, both thematically and their actual action sequences.

What I do like in all the first six movies are that they are diverse in aliens. The last two movies seem a lot more human-oriented (with a couple of droids).

Fuckin A, stip. This has got to be the most we've ever agreed.

I don't mind the ewoks, but they make the Empire look like jokes, which isn't doing your movie any favors. They needed a bit more bite to them. Maybe some ewok suicide bombers hurling themselves at AT-STs.

Wookies would have been better. I think that was the original idea.
