This thread had me curious about how people overall rank the movies, so I googled. Pretty much unanimous of agreement that the first two are the worst. I didn't even expect to see IX in any rankings I googled. But it was there. And usually not far behind the first two, which is not a good sign AT ALL!

Going today. Will report back with tons of spoilers.

I liked it
But it doesn’t mesh with the last Jedi and pays Tons of fan service

I thought it was just ok. Some fun stuff and a lot of stuff that made no sense. It's about on par with The Last Jedi.

It was great. Few surprises/shocks for me:

-Rey and Fin make out session. Thought Fin and Rose were a thing. Came out of left field.

-Anakin returns and is now bad again. Pick a side idiot.

-Ewok whorehouse.

-Death Star v4. That’s about 2 Death Stars too many.

-Trash monster makes another appearance. Thought that was a one movie monster.

-Space Pizza. ???

-The rapping alien guy

People are really not liking IX very much.

I liked 8 a lot more. Seems like Abrams either didn't have a plan or just scrapped it and decided to do something completely different with 9.

8 was basically 2 movies with Rey & Luke being good & everything else sucking. Going a different direction with 9 made it a much better movie than 8.

Laura Dern being smarmy alone ruined 8. And Benicio del Toro randomly helping them turn turning on them as a cheap was to get the caught, then out of jail, GMAFB.

i'm a star wars noob but IX in IMAX was an incredible experience and i feel bad for anyone unable to enjoy it.

Spoilers but not the biggest:

I didn't like the emperor coming back out of absolutely nowhere and backtracking Rey's heritage. The scene in 8 where Adam Driver tells her that her parents were nobodies was absolutely fantastic. 9 was a decent movie on its own but I think it was a poor end to the trilogy.

Totally agree on Dern going over the top in 8.

The last scene with rey and bb8 was incred

Would've been a far superior conclusion than the actual film

Starting the saga with the girls tonight (if the 8 year old remembers to bring book home & does her homework before I get home, so actually less than 50% chance).

I’m starting to think about starting with Rouge One, but I think I’ll lose them going from new to old picture quality.

I’m struggling with this. I think I’m just starting 4, 5, 6 just for picture quality so I don’t lose them going back to old ones after the new ones.

Are they excited about it or is this more for you?

Just watch rogue 1 and new hope and then tell them those are the only ones and skip the rest
