Probably controversial opinion for some people: I've only ever seen one Star Wars movie (one of the original ones) and some of parts of other movies and I think the franchise is totally overrated.

Only Empire Strikes Back is actually good imo.

It ends on a down note.

I saw them as a child and found them totally stupid. Wild west pew pew but in space. Not everone who grew up with them loves them. If they were made today, noone would bat an eye over the mediocre story 😁

As I'm born in the late 80's (god, saying that makes me feel so old), it sadly wasn't possible to see them at a time were they actually were considered groundbreaking. The special effects aged very badly, imho. I think it's a lot of nostalgia, especially for people who watched them as kids.

The movies really aren't anything incredible. Luke loses practically every fight he has, the dialog and CGI in the prequels were horrendous, and the sequels... yeah. I don't think most of them are bad movies, but for how popular it is? I believe Star Wars is held up quite a bit by how cool a large chunk of it is. Vader looks sick af, and laser swords are badass.

But there are some really good TV shows, games, and, from what I hear, comics as well. I think the movies are probably the weakest part of the Star Wars universe.

Can't really judge without watching them though

Yes.. I know.. but if one is this lame why would I want to watch at least 5 more?

Not all of them are the same, some are better, some are worse. Some people like because of the nostalgia. It depends why you deem them "lame"
