Thats very confusing for me when i thought FA was better than RO, and RO was better than Empire.

FA was better than RO.

None of them are as good as Empire.

ROTJ is the best so far in my opinion. Easily beats ESB. I’d even go as far as to say ANH is in second place. 

I like ESB, but it’s nowhere near my favourite.

On a nerdy side note, I’ve started collecting vintage Star Wars figures again - so if anyone has any that they fancy shifting, let me know!

oh right...;) george lucas approves!

in all seriousness though i like ROTJ, even if they rehashed the death star plot, the speeder bikes and the new troopers were cool, the jabba stuff is great, they just completely lost the plot with the ewoks, after the darkness of ESB they went and made a horrible kids cash in film with a pretty poor disjointed final third

Sadly, my mate's (who I saw Force Awakens and Rouge One with) father passed away very recently, so I was a bit in the air as to when I was going to go see it. I've booked a ticket for tomorrow, and am going to take my mate when he feels up for it. Hope it's good, and brings him a bit of cheer at such a shit time.

I don’t know really, truth be told - I like all of the films. I could just sit and watch any one of them and be perfectly happy - particularly with 4/5/6. 

Can’t wait to watch the new one tomorrow!

Just back from Last Jedi. Superb. The best photography of any of them, and a tighter script than any of them since Empire. A few too many corny jokes, but nothing to get annoyed with. I'm old enough to have seen them all in a cinema, but this is the first one since Empire where found myself really anticipating what happens in the next installment.

Saw it last night.  Don't read this unless you've seen...

Really enjoyed it and it definitely lived up to expectations.

Love how they swerved us with Rey's parents actually being nobodies and Snoke turning out to just be a small cog in the wheel.

Leia dying in the first 20 minutes then not.  Although the scene showing her survival was a bit odd,

Luke just tossing the light-sabre over his head after a two year wait was amusing.

Using an actual puppet for Yoda rather than CGI was a cool touch.

Loved the twist with Luke not actually being there and channelling the force.  Gave us a few heart in mouth moments thinking he had died.  Then...

...they go and kill him anyway!  WTF!  The whole symbolic two sun death may have been a good way to end the third one, but him dying after all that put a bit of a dampener on it for me.

Looks like they were relying on Leia to be the old face carrying it in episode 9 but they've hit an obvious snag there.  I imagine they'll be calling on Mark Hamill for force ghost duties now.

It was ok, bit weird imo. The humour was overkill and some attempted gags were just weird and out of sorts, the pacing was all over the shop and the casino bit was just strange. It did a lot right but overall it lacked something that I can’t put my finger on. I think there are too many characters personally with too many side stories to fit in so it all feels too rushed with no room to breathe. Not awful by any means but it wasn’t great either. I can’t explain it very well to be honest. Just disappointed I didn’t like it as much as I had hoped.
