    Revenge of the Sith is a dumb movie. All the characters in it were a bunch of idiots. It was painful to watch.

    I haven't seen Last Jedi so won't comment on it. There are some MCU movies that are average in comparison to other MCU movies, but in general they are pretty good action flicks. They are not for everyone, but don't deserve the blanket statement of mediocrity.

    Agree that it is a top 3 movie. Very well executed. Complex plot, good character development. Hayden's acting was unfortunately wooden though.

    LucasArts adventure games would make great movies.

    Happy you agreed on ROTS. This is my ranking of the main 8 films. what is yours.

    1. Empire Strikes Back
    2. A new Hope
    3. Revenge of the Sith
    4. Return of the Jedi
    5. Attack of the Clones
    6. Phantom Menace
    7. The Last Jedi
    8. The Force Awakens

    Also agree on Hayden's acting. it was pretty bad and Anakin was unlikeable but not enough to derail the entire film.

    Top three in the prequels, sure. That's about it.

    How can we really judge if the MCU is worse off when Disney bought Marvel in 2009? The only movies out from Marvel Studios prior to that were Iron Man (Great) and Incredible Hulk (not so great). As you've said Disney still does a fine job with animation, so they've handled Pixar well. The only property that's in debate here is Star Wars.

    You can't blame Hayden totally on this. George Lucas put together some of the worst writing and scripts for the actors to say in those films. He had Samuel Jackson and Natalie Portman in those and the entire thing was a dud at times. As far as the list goes , yeah not big into any of the prequels. The last one was perhaps the best of the bunch but man did they all totally suck.

    Outside of possibly Dark Knight I find all comic book superhero films popcorn fare just as I view most Star Wars films for a Star Wars films I found Solo mediocre but outside of Empire I don't hold any Star Wars film in great regard they're just fun entertaining movies I love but not amazing stories.

    Superhero films, Star Wars films, Indiana Jones films, slasher movies, zombie films, James Bond I consider them all fun and entertaining and I love them all and watch them regularly but again I hold very few films on those genres as truly great films.

    I like Revenge of the Sith and Phantom Menace but Attack of the Clones is literally one of the few films I almost walked out of I can suspended Disbelief for a film but that movie asked me to suspend logic way too many times for the story to work and then there was Hayden's acting.

    Attack of the Clones was so bad I refused to see Revenge of the Sith in theaters and waited to rent it at the time.

    1313 wasn't Visceral's game. 1313 and First Assault were the games Lucasarts were working on before Disney axed them.

    Being a big fan of action games I thought the Force Unleashed series was pretty decent and that was among the last of their major Star Wars they developed.

    I wonder if Disney is going to open a whole new division dedicated to erasing all scenes of people smoking from the 20th Century Fox film library.
