As godawful as Attack of the Clones, and Halo 5 are...

TPM was better than AotC

TPM got better as soon as they left Tatooine, but the first half is just painfully boring. Another problem is the group we get halfway through the movie felt forced. In IV the group comes together out of pure choice (except for Leia), and they grow together because of their choices. In TPM they're just kind of awkwardly forced together. AoTC is much better since there's already established connections between characters, even if we don't see it. Also a lot of the political jargon is toned down making it more mysterious than a slog having to listen to (until you learn all the secrets are bullshit involving a character we never see).

So can Barney the Dinosaur.

Come now Verb, you're intentionally not being fair. That's a kids show, it's not meant to appeal to everyone.

Yeah I know. As much as I'd love to partake in another monthly Sep7agon Star Wars debate (now with extra autism), I'm too preoccupied by Pokémon at the moment to make more cogent arguments.

Hey that's not fair. Halo 5 had REQ packs. Who didn't love grinding for hours just to unlock a bunch of needlers and scout warthogs?

Pick one.
Still better than Empire.

I adore the prequels because they hold a special place in my heart, but George obviously phoned them in. The thought that anyone can unironically prefer the prequels to the OT is astonishing to me. Contrarianism is useless if there's actually not a valid argument to be made.

Spoiler

TPM is fun, but it's maybe worse than AOTC as far as the concept of a trilogy goes. I know George made up Star Wars as he went along, but for that movie he stopped pretending otherwise. TPM is largely filler; the meat of the story mostly happens during AOTC and ROTS, and the original animated series. It's particularly disappointing seeing the deleted scenes from AOTC because it looked like it was once a coherent movie. ROTS was the best by a mile, but it still suffers from George's idea of "humor," awkward dialogue, and his disinterest in giving the actors much of anything to work with.

Ian McDiarmid was phenomenal in all of them, at least.

Yeah, for a long time I considered Age of Extinction the worst film I'd ever seen.

Then I saw Human Centipede III.

They made three of those things? One was more than enough...

The plot of the third was that the centipede was developed as a replacement for conventional prison incarceration, so if you went to jail, you'd have your mouth sewed to the anus of some guy in a line of hundreds of criminals. It was the most sickeningly awful film ever made.

The main character has fried clitorises imported and eats them on screen, then feeds them to other people. I wanted to die every second of the movie.

You must have watched that movie on a date. Sounds romantic.
