Rogue One was leaps and bounds above the sequel trilogy but I would still say it’s not a great movie. Once it gets up to speed and the whole cast has been properly introduced, it’s fantastic, but it takes so much of the movie until it gets to that point. Even as a fan, the first half of the movie is a slog where the main character has very little agency or drive, and they’re basically just being brought along instead of driving the plot. It’s a movie that, in my opinion, starts poorly and ends amazingly.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’ll fight a bitch that claims anything other than Andor is the smartest and most watchable serialized offering on any streaming medium, with arguably the most compelling characters in the entire Star Wars arc outside of the original trilogy (hat tip to @furzegelo and @OldQwertybastard).
Thank you one and all; now I’m off to go assault dickhead @crt_alt_esc for not knowing his/her (meager and uninformed) place.
There’s only 3 original star wars unless you’re counting the ewok movies and the holiday special. The prequels were twenty years later and are not original star wars.
I’ll second this. Andor is incredible.
I was irrationally angry when George sold his IP to the Mouse. The original trilogy and expanded universe from my childhood is still my Star Wars.
Disney was the wrong choice.
Rogue One worked. But they got greedy.

Have you seen Andor?
lol. Ok princess.
I must have struck a nerve implying that Jar Jar Binks might have less character depth than any of the Andor cast.
