Huge Star Wars nerd here. I haven’t read this whole thread but I love to geek out about the movies! Here is my two cents about episodes 8 & 9 (I love them both but do wish they were more connected:
I thought Rian was trying to make a very moving point in episode 8 about how any ordinary person can use the force and even become a Jedi, which is why Rey’s parents being nobody is significant, and why at the end, the little boy who is ordered to sweep up seemingly used the force to get his broom. Episode 9 sort of erases all of that, and I wish they had kept Rey’s lineage as not connected (and frankly, it doesn’t make a lot of sense), but I still loved episode 9 for other reasons.
But of the newest trilogy, episode 8 is the best in my opinion. And of all the Star Wars movies, the original trilogy can’t be bested. And Rogue One is better than the prequels or the episodes 7-9!
For me, ranking the films is always futile, because it’s like ranking my children. Yes, I do love some more than others (sometimes ), but I love them all infinitely, so it’s a matter of mood and degrees and all that.
Was thinking the same. WDW rides as acronyms is 2nd nature now, but not used to SW movies that way when there’s simpler episode numbers to use. too much thinking involved for me.
I’m so used to either those titles fully written out or just an episode number. Totally acceptable to use, but a weird mental block for me for some reason. I might just be lazy today.
