@Moon Hot Take: Star Wars 6 was the worst of the original trilogy
-
@coolboymew @Moon I like 6 a lot
-
@coolboymew @Moon It is but it's still better than anything in the other trilogies
-
@mrsaturday @Moon of course
-
@mrsaturday @coolboymew @Moon See, I thought ep5 was a sharp decline from ep 4, and ep 6 was a minor decline from ep 5. So eps 1-3 aren't surprises, just continuing the trend.
-
@lnxw37b2 @mrsaturday @Moon funny thing, I actually saw them in order. As a kid, when they aired on TV, I told myself "I'll wait for the beginning", well, it turns out I waited for a long time
Saw 1-3 in the cinemas
Later caught 4-6 on TV. 4-5 were amazing. 6 annoyed me, I really hated the Ewoks

@coolboymew @Moon
How is that a hot take? Before the prequels everyone said that the 3rd(ep6) was the worst. The hot debate was about whether New Hope or Empire was better. Hell I was a kid when Return came out and I still didn't like it as much as Empire.
-
@CrushBead @Moon well it looks like the take is pretty cold
I fucking hated the Ewoks
-
@coolboymew @CrushBead @Moon The Ewoks were worse than Jar Jar.
-
@ChristiJunior @CrushBead @Moon actually, yes
The main problem with episode 1 (and the prequels) is that it's boring as shit, Jar Jar is a blip
-
@ChristiJunior @coolboymew @CrushBead @Moon Baby Anakin was way worse than Jar Jar.
-
@coolboymew @lnxw37b2 @Moon Ewoks were Lucas trying to sell toys. From what I understand the original plan was Wookies, but kids wouldn't buy toy Wookies like they would his feral Teddy Ruxpins.
-
@coolboymew @Moon Yeah, it was the writing more than the acting, and the Jar Jar character had so much that could have been explored but wasn't. For example, he could have been an agent for the Siths
So I don't hold to the theory "that kid killed Star Wars". Most child actors aren't especially good, but in light of the material, I think he did okay. (I know someone else in the thread probably disagrees, but that's okay.)
