Star wars original trilogy was perfect. Brilliant cinema. The trilogy from the 90s was cringe, boring, horrible CGI, special effects worse than the ones in the 80's. The recent star wars films were nothing other than cash grabs, horrible actors that overact, and lost all star wars magic. and had cringe humour targeted to kids. With that said I actually enjoyed Rogue One for some reason, maybe the actors were better, cinematography was better, it would still not make it to my top 500 movies of all time. |
The later Star Wars films all had better actors than the older ones, and Rogue One does have more scenes that benefitted from the acting. I think I had Rogue One as my second favourite film of that year.
I think what made Rogue One better was the gritty organic feeling, it felt much less like a children's film. The world felt more alive than any of the other films in the series. The prequels suffered (for me, at least) because they did nothing really out of the ordinary - they felt like every other Jon Woo/Michael Bay style blockbuster. The dialogue was (as the kids say) "cringe" as fuck - pukingly melodramatic; it didn't even bother me that much before until people started memeing lines and posting them unironically (over and over and over again). They had good scenes in them, though. I thought the Emperor/Palpatine killed it in nearly every scene he acted in.
Of all the prequels and sequels, Rogue One did more to enhance the original 1977 Star Wars film than any of them. That's not even one of the reasons I loved it, just something I appreciate about it. The biggest part for me in regards to that wasn't even sealing the plot hole in a very satisfying way, but that it made me actually care about the Rebels. For me, feeling carried over to the original Star Wars film.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
