> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > Saw it again , still don’t understand all the negative reviews. It was a little slow in the middle but it was basically a typical fun SW movie. Do people expect Macbeth or Othello? I never understand these sorts of responses. Do you only have three grades of movies in your mind: Complete trash, “Macbeth or Othello”, and then everything else – and anything in the “everything else” category is of equal value? Because I think most people have a wider spectrum than that and were hoping for a movie a bit further up that band of quality. ---

Wow someone searched all my past posts on SW movies!! Must have a lot of free time? SW movies should be fun, and all 11 of them were fun to me. Some were better than others. I know this is wacky but I think Episodes 1-3 were OK , not great but not as bad as most people say. Just my 2 cents. If I want Shakespeare I will go see one of his plays or movies based on them. Just like if I want to hear classical music I will go see the symphony. And if I want to see rock I will go see Weezer. ---

Some rock is very good(10,000 Maniacs) , some is great(The Who) , some is OK(Tom Petty) and some is not good (Warren Zevon). But it’s all rock. ---

Solo and Rogue One are the other 2. Must not be a big fan if you didn’t know there are 11. 🙂 ---

Sorry. I was thinking only of the three trilogies. ---

I figure my grandkids will be watching SW #30 . There are 25 James Bond movies and there is no end in sight. (one is coming out this year) ---

This was a poor quality Star Wars movie, not in comparison to Shakespeare, but in comparison to other Star Wars movies. ---

How about a petition to remake episodes 5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,Solo, Rogue One? It worked so well for the remake of GOT season 8. When is that due out? ---

The good news is they are remaking GOT season 8. The bad news is the writer,director,producer,editor, sound guy, light guy, accountant and cook are going to be George Lucas. ---

I went and resaw ROS last night. I saw it opening weekend and thought the first hour was trash and then I was able to get into it. This time the first hour didn’t bother me as much. I still am bummed by the overall trilogy’s arch but now I’ve moved ROS up to a solid meh. Its fun as long you don’t spend any time thinking about it. I saw the new Bad Boys immediately after and it is a better movie in almost every way. ---

I’ve only been here for a little over three years, so I ran across the posts more recently–and your reactions in that thread were _really_ memorable. But I remember stuff associated with names _and_ didn’t like the prequel trilogy, so you must have some _really_ strong views on my personal life!
