Yeah, Captain boy was a little too pretty, should cover up that kissably pretty face with a beard and stay away from me.

lolz I fell asleep in the cinema. #blush

[Cthulhu]

I think this was the worst of the three.  Force Awakens was a reboot of a new hope but it had a coherent plot and characters.  TLJ, I can't really blame Rian Johnson for fucking up, he's a good director who was given an impossible task.  It made an attempt to do new and interesting things.  This last movie was just a hurricane of nonsense that gave me a headache.

what does "I am all the sith" mean anyway

Edit: while it focuses too much on that lame phrase, I read a theory on a spanish SW site in which they pose an interesting twist: the phrase means literally what it says: Palpatine is not really Palpatine, but actually Darth Bane bodyhopping over and over. The Rule of Two was a scam all along The reason he wants all potential sith apprentices to "strike him down" is because the hatred makes them susceptible to possession. The reason why he doesn't try this with vader is that he got charred beyond recognition so he decided to push through with his pruny self while he found an alternative.

Tbh that would have been an interesting twist

It means "you know how you Jedi get Force Ghosts? Well, WE get Force Ghosts too, so, HAH!"

Or at least that every new Sith Lord must apparently go to hidden-secret-planet-place and, like, get the power (and apparently goals and such) of all the previous Sith? And that sometimes a freaking SITH LORD will voluntarily get murdered by their apprentice and hand over their power so the Sith will survive, which is absolute garbage and contrary to everything we know of the Sith (incredibly self-centered and driven usually by desires for *personal* power and control or whatever).

Oh well. At least they managed to feed all the shippers? And the memes?

Some of the novelizations suggest that Palpatine is essentially the culmination of all Sith knowledge and experience, and considers himself as such. Sort of like how Yoda is the ultimate end product of thousands of years of refined Jedi training. Palps' used this to make himself basically the perfect foil to a light-side user.
 
They also make some comparisons with that as to why Palpatine is able to defeat Yoda, even though Yoda is shown to be technically more powerful. Palpatine and the Sith have spent the last thousand years specifically training themselves to wipe out the Jedi, and have evolved over time to that end. The Rule of Two ensures that only knowledge that lends itself to that specific goal is honed and passed on. The Jedi have simply stagnated. Yoda even says that the Jedi did not change because he did not let them.
 
The prequel novelizations are way better than the movies.

[Jopax]

It's actually the echo of the line from the prequel, "I am the senate"

That way it all ties together.

You know, like poetry.

[Il Palazzo]

It rhymes! Oh, hateful sand. Does it rhyme.

In a something of a wtf moment, I've read an article in a local press discussing how the new Disney-managed SW is shit, while unironically presenting the prequels as a high point. E.g. the dialogue was shit on purpose, you see, because it was evocative of the wooden lines in silent movies. Same with direction and plot.
It was all according to the auteur's vision, and it was good. Great, even. But the Disney snake was the cleverest of animals and it tempted the George into taking a bite from the Tree of Even More Money, and this corrupted his fruits. That's why we have Kylo Ren, who is not as great an antagonist as Anakin (I shit you not).

[Dunamisdeos]

I mean
 
Ep.3 Anakin was in fact better than all of Kylo Ren, if you ask me. Adam Driver is great and all, but not Kylo Ren.
 
Still tho, Anakin from Ep.1-2 more than makes up negatively for anything cool he does in 3.

[Cthulhu]

Kylo is like the only good part of the sequel trilogy.  I rank the movies like...

Good
Empire
New Hope
Return of the Jedi

Okay I guess
Force Awakens
Solo

Bad
Rogue One

Real bad
Rise of The Skywalkers
Revenge of the Sith
Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones

The prequels are all about equally awful, including revenge of the sith, but I think clones is slightly worse than the phantom menace.  I never actually saw the last jedi so not ranking it.

[Dunamisdeos]

You really didn't like Rogue One?

What was it about that one? I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Cthulhu]

It was boring.  I saw it maybe a year ago and I don't remember what any of the characters were named or anything that happened except they all died and darth vader showed up at the end.

[Dunamisdeos]

I... Well...
 
Well there was Jyn Urso, the heroine. And then the sarcastic robot. Oh and the guy who owned the robot. And Donnie Yen and his machinegun-attached-to-a-human friend... Discount Tarkin who built the death star... hmm. Oh! What's his name! Forest Whitaker. He's in the new EA game too. Saw Breathmask or what have you.
 
And CGI abomination Actual Tarkin and Leia. See that's three and a half whole character names.

Great movie. I remember enjoying it immensely.

[Cthulhu]

Oh yeah, I remember when forrest whitaker decided he was done running and died for no reason.  He wasn't injured was he?  He wasn't slowing them down.  He was just like "whatever, I'm gonna die now cause that's what happens in war movies"

[MrRoboto75]

I kinda dug that dude who was a vague force priest.
