Ranked higher than Rise of Skywalker ???


How is this possible. I mean Rise of Skywalker wasn't a great movie, but it had its moments. Last Jedi didn't have any moments.

I agree that TROS should be rated higher than TLJ but there's not much in it.

TROS had the bringing to a conclusion of the sequel film's story and as Daisy Ridley said the film focused on the resolution of Rey's story quite satisfactorily. Rey found out who she was, defeated Palpatine, found "closure" with Kylo Ren and decided to reject her real name and call herself a Skywalker. On the downside pretty much everything that happened after they got to Exegol was not very good.

TLJ was a film of two stories. Rey and Luke on the island and Rey and Kylo being connected by the Force and that part of the film was good. The story of the Resistance being endlessly chased and picked off by the First Order was dull as was the side story of Finn and Rose going after the master code cracker.

So overall TROS was better than TLJ but as I said not by a whole lot.

It almost had a moment when Purple hyper-kamikazed into the mega-class Super Star Destroyer 'Supremacy' and the entire theater cheered, but then realization sunk in that this one maneuver completely trashed the Classic Trilogy, because all the Rebels would have had to do is grab some hyper-equipped small remote controlled transports, and hyper-kamikaze them into the bridge of Imperial-class Star Destroyers, and even Darth Vader's Executor, and Grand Moff Tarkin's Death Star, and they would have easily won the Galactic Civil War early on.

Apparently energy shields meant nothing to Rian Johnson and his cohorts.

Good thing we found out in Rise of Skywalker that the maneuver was "one shot in a million", not sure how that's the case either seeing as how they'd literally just pick a star that's behind the ship they'd want to hyper into and voila.

Supremacy's shields were fully on, Purple's tactic of hypering into the ship should not have worked, it made no sense. If the shields had been disabled, then okay... but they weren't.

I agree, I would rate the sequel trilogy as:

The Force Awakens 6.5/10
(It's a soft-reboot-remake of ANH, but it has some good lines of dialogue thanks for Kasdan, Ford's presence makes it a better movie).

The Last Jedi 2.5/10

Rise Of Skywalker 3.5/10

They were all massive turds but that sounds about right to me. TFA was an absolute corporate committee abomination that simultaneously destroyed the legacy of Lucas' film saga & doomed the Di$ney trilogy from the onset, setting up a chain reaction of massive failure in all directions.

The Farce Awakens 0.5/10

The Last Jedi 2/10

The Rise OF Skywalker 1/10

I do not understand it either.

I don't get it either. I actually found myself getting bored while watching the TLJ. I wasn't bored watching ROS or any other Star Wars film. I'm not saying ROS was great, but I was at least entertained while watching it
