[The new crap] Helps to reveal it never really was "good".

Helps to revisit the old stuff to start seeing the flaws...

The comedian Stewart Lee (not to be confused for the Steward Lee involved with Star Wars), had some astute observations in some interview, pointing out the confusion in it, like around princess Leia... She's a princess, but helping the rebels, but also racist against the wookie... XD

It's very freeing to realise how much it does not make sense, riddled with inconsistencies, a hodgepodge of ideas copied from far superior sci-fi, cinema, and literature.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, DC; it's all creatively exhausted corporate entertainment product at this point.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I am starting to enjoy Star Trek way more than SW (and I really was a fan of SW in my childhood).

Not hating on Star Trek, because I love both franchises.

You know it's even better, realizing that other people's opinion doesn't matter about Star wars only what you feel about it. I don't give a fuck that somebody doesn't like something that I like because guess what I like it so y'all can fuck off.

What's a Star Wars?

All facetiousness aside, I liked the movies, but they're not my personality.
Same with Sherlock, Star Trek, Lord Of The Rings, Critical Role, Apple products, Wie Is De Mol, etc.
I like them, may even love them, but my whole world does not revolve around them.

It stopped being any good after "Episode VI". And before it, it was just a kids fairy tale in a space-themed Trenchcoat.

;_; Star Wars legends fan, I will continue to resent Disney forever for blighting one of my favorite franchises. But yeah new “Star Wars” content has ceased to excite me. When the acolyte came out and I saw the reviews I was completely unsurprised.

Let me blow this wide open. I don’t think anything went wrong with it, there was just too much Star Wars and I stopped caring. The same with Marvel stuff , I watched it all and then bam I couldn’t be bothered to watch Endgame and I haven’t watched any since. And I’ve always been more of a Trekkie. I watched every single episode of every season of every Star Trek but I just can’t be arsed to watch the last seasons of New Worlds, it is fine but I have had my fill. Or maybe I got old and it just doesn’t do it for me any more?

All the people who know how it supposed to be good are left by now. Only those who have no idea how good it used/supposed to be stayed. Nobody else but them cares if they say "it's good now". In other words: fanboy echo chamber.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Star Wars were always as stupid as they are now. The only reason you think something changed is that you grew older. Motherfuckers who were like 7 when they listened to I hate sand monologue, believe that sttar wars is supposed to be something other than pew pew lasers in space

That one scene in that one specific movie doesn't really compare to modern SW movies. Prequels were not as good as original Trilogy mainly due to attempting to be modern style movies. And even original movie had this specific kissing scene that got deleted later for a very peculiar reason. We can complain about each movie. But man, nothing can beat "Somehow, Palpatine returned".

spoilerRogue One was quite good, actually.

"It's-a clear desa separatists made a pact wesa desa Federation du Trade. Senators, "dellow felagates. In response to this direct threat to the Republic, mesa propose that the senate give immediately emergency powers to the supreme chancellor

This beats somehow returning palatine for sure. But forget that one, the main central guy of all 6 movies turns out to be immaculately conceived by a bunch of medichlorians whatever they are, and y'all are ok with that now. I vividly remember how everyone was up their buttholes about that 20 years ago, but now it's a great cinema apparently and only new thing bad. And if you think original plot made more sense, your judgement is just clouded by nostalgia, because it was the same nonsense and the same cycle of criticism.
The only reason I dislike somehow palpanite returning more than the rest of the nonsense, is because they fucked up a nice theme about everyone being worthy of force that was beginning to emerge. And this only shows that they actually had a theme going on that could be fucked up.

This whole thread is just ignoring Clone Wars, Rebels & Bad Batch. (And the "Tales of" series.)

Fans ruined it for me. Sad.

The directors and producers and actors and writers ruined it for you. Let's be real.

The last Star Wars movie I enjoyed was Jedi: Survivor.

Ironically, the last Indiana Jones movie I enjoyed was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
