I agree. I only came to this the last year and binged all the seasons and the last one felt kind of forced. Let it die young and beautiful.

Have to agree that Solo is not a bad movie. Rogue One was better IMO though. I am going to keep stating this, the lack of overwhelming CGI helps give these movies a soul. I was one of the ones confused when... As to that Gaurdian list, it's crap. Anyone who places those Ewok shows ahead of anything but Attack of Clones is crazy. My list of the ones I have seen Star Wars ANH - I know ESB is a better movie overall but I remember being a kid at the drive in laying on top of our van on a blanket with a pillow and when the Death Star blew up it seemed like the sparks went off the screen and mixed with the stars in real life and just absolutely stuck in my head forever. The Empire Strikes Back - if it wasn't for the magic of ANH this would be #1 for me Return of the Jedi - remember waiting in line around the block with my little sister to watch this. Had to wait for an entire screening because we missed the full theatre mark by like 10 people Rogue One - To me this is the most like the originals. It wasn't so reliant on CGI and cute little creatures to sell to kids. The good guys won, and lost, and not just red shirts. The Force Awakens - Really liked this despite the continued focus on droids being a main part. Revenge of the Sith - The only prequel I have seen more than once at home. Solo - This was a solid movie IMO, and will likely move ahead of RotS when I see it again. The Last Jedi - Not a bad movie to me but felt too much like they were trying to be a Marvel movie and not a Star Wars movie The Phantom Menace - eh...jar jar and that flying elephant slave owner and a plucky kid ruined it for me. Way way down an exhaust shaft Attack of the Clones - barf Ewok crap that I vaguely remember seeing on tv in the 80's

Based on what I've seen in here, these are unpopular opinions. I like the Top Gear crew, especially Clarkston! It did get a bit stale after a while. Beatles over Rolling Stones for me every time. Madonna kills Lady Gaga in every way possible, but I do not hate Lady Gaga, though I sometimes wouldn't admit it? I also like Episode III, to me it's the most grown up friendly movie of the prequels. Didn't mind the Ewoks, I saw ROTJ when I was like 11-12 so they weren't distracting at all. Looking back on it though they signaled the onslaught of pandering to little kids in the prequels. ANH and TESB didn't seem to have obvious young kid (4-8 yr olds) tie ins.

Or not as evil.

Also just watched Solo and had a more enjoyable experience as it was pretty much what I expected it to be, a Solo origin story. I did get the feeling that it was going a little long which is a bad sign. Part I loved was the minimal CGI, this was mostly real actors working off each other and not a green screen or puppet. Also, to me it felt like Rogue One and didn't seem to be aimed at little kids. I would absolutely go see a sequel.

Nice...subtle, but nice.

Just digging for responses IMO..which may be an unpopular one

I thought it was a pretty good movie but it felt a little long. Like Rogue One this one didn't seem to pander to little kids like the main series does. I thought the acting was good enough, nothing stood out as being great or bad to me. I loved the fact that it wasn't full of CGI. To me that is what helped ruin the prequels. They have no "soul" because 90% of what you see isn't real. There were a few surprises like who I assume was Darth Maul showing up at the end as Crimson whatever his name was, the turning on of his light saber was just pandering, everyone knew immediately who he was. Him appearing sets the time frame for this movie too, if that was in fact Darth Maul. Didn't expect Qira (?) to be in with Crimson guy so that was also a surprise. Loved the obvious nod to "did Solo shoot first"...yes, yes he did.

1. I am excited to see Solo, going tonight. 2. I think The Last Jedi wasn't a bad movie, it just tried to be something it isn't and never should be, a Marvel movie.

You only turn old when you forget what it's like to be a child. Next you'll be shouting "get off my lawn"!

Exactly. Tell me I can't do something that I wasn't even doing and watch me do it even better than those before me.

Unpopular opinions 1. I like my steak medium well and the hell with you bloody still moving medium rare and rare m'fers! 2. Peanut butter and pickles do go together 3. I'd rather have Emmitt Smith on my team than Barry Sanders 4. I like several MTV shows so I don't want it to go anywhere. The Challenge, Jersey Shore, and Ridiculousness... 5. I actually like this thread

Well at least they didn't try to include the 15 yard penalties like first reported. IDK, if I am a player I may try to rally the entire team to kneel for the opening game without anyone knowing ahead of time, not that fake shit Jerry Jones did last year. That would draw way more attention than anything else. Do it once and move on. Or worse, both teams stay in the locker room and don't come out on time for one game. Nothing ridiculous, just like 5 min. Enough to make a statement but not alienate fans who at the time wouldn't know what was going on.

So I just read an article on this, very non committal language. If they did adopt it as discussed in the article it just opens them up for more ridicule and attention. 15 yard penalty for kneeling...simple, players on both sides kneel. Refs throw flags during the national anthem instead of focusing on the flag like you are supposed to...then all that happens is off setting 15 yarders announced and nothing actually happens except the NFL looks stupid and petty.

I originally typed "white America" and edited it to not turn this into something else.
