16 and I were just talking because I'm watching The Phantom Menace due to the fact that every once in awhile I rewatch the prequels to see if I enjoy them yet, and every time I do I end up like Humperdink.
Each individual film and then the trilogy as a whole.

I explained that when these were made we didn't WANT them to fail. We were so excited! But they're an absolute snooze.
The fun is missing.
I then showed him this image because when this poster was released we lost our minds. It's so simple and effective.
And the films- are not.
General Grievous.
🤣🤣🤣
Ah, George.
Honestly the greatest moment of Revenge of the Sith is when Yoda knocks those two guards against the walls like it's nothing.
I have always had and still have issues with Padme dying "of a broken heart."
I will always give props to George Lucas for her body in her funeral procession still having an enlarged abdomen even though it's a little too round.
@Shelter Attack of the Clones is an abomination.
It's awful.
Just awful.
@Shelter It's not Ed Wood, Jr. awful, but boy, it's not far off.
@Shelter @LiberalLibrarian What's wrong with me that I like that one. I though it was better than Part III or Part I.
Is it age? I'm 52.
No, then.
I explained to my kid that for the kids who were, well, kids when they came out they were highly enjoyable and that's completely valid.
I'm also going to state that these are my opinions and opinions are subjective.
@Shelter @LiberalLibrarian Subjective? Opinions?
Nope, I'm convinced it's a personal failing of mine. :)
But then I adored The Last Jedi.
I still haven't seen Rise of Skywalker because Carrie Fisher's death broke me.
@LiberalLibrarian @Shelter I liked Rogue One, and the first two sequels. Solo was okay. That last sequel really hurt me on a fundamental level. I'm still mad at it.
I liked Episode 1, even Jar Jar, the first time I saw it. Me and my friends camped out the night before to get tickets, so the memory has a lot to do with my feelings. The 2nd time I watched it, years later after having seen Episode 2, (which is 🤮), I got annoyed with Anakin fast. His voice, mannerisms, all of it. I still enjoy Jar Jar just for the simpleness of the character. He desperately wants to help & be wanted but he makes a mess.
@see_the_sus I hated Jar Jar the first time, but on the second time around, I got the point.
How do you take such an excellent cast with so much talent and end up with these?
Anyway I'm skipping Clones today and going right to Sith.
