      The prequels had some great world building and interesting scenes.

      I’ll gladly watch the prequels of my own free will. It’s the sequels that are hell.

        You can pick a few morsels out of the carcasses of all the travesties that were shat out since the trilogy, but that doesn’t make up for the entire rest of each film.

        there’s some good cinematography in the first of the sequels at least. I’m thinking of some poignant scenes where they conveyed emotion very well with imagery. i’ve been trying to get a screengrab, but my computer won’t let me so i’ll describe it. around 121 minutes in, they’ve landed the falcon at the rebel resistance base and are celebrating their victory. on the right side of the screen is the parked falcon, on the left you have a crowd of people celebrating, and in the middle you have rey and leia hugging and grieving. it’s probably my favorite still image from all of the star wars movies.

        normally i just watch star wars as relaxing, low mental load sci fi. that specific scene caught my eye, whoever set it up deserves a sloppy kiss from a basset hound.
