I didn't peg you for a Star Wars fan cyberdad
I re-watch key episodes of Rebels/Clone Wars on youtube every now and again. Some of the 'filler' episodes are a real slog to get through for me. Rogue One is definitely the best modern Star Wars movie.
I've probably seen the original Star Wars trilogy and Revenge of the Sith between 5-10 times now. I'm not sure.
I've watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy probably somewhere around the same number.
Star wars fanatic here (I'm one of those who declared war on Disney when they created fluffy child friendly movies designed to cash in on merchandise), Having said that I have contributed to Disney's share prices by subscribing to their Star Wars collection.
The original Star wars "A New Hope" blew my mind when I sat in the back of my parent's old Volkswagon in a drive-in theatre in 1977 with a backdrop of stars in the night sky. But I am afraid the rest of the original trilogy never captured the same experience I had.
For me Lucas redeemed himself with the prequel trilogy (Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith), This might have had something to do with Rick McCallum's input. Character's like Anniken, Obi-Wan and Mace were well developed. Jar Jar Binks was a minor hiccup but I learned love gungins in the clone wars animated series.
The sequel trilogy was a massive disappointment. Kathleen Kennedy interfered too much with the Canon to inject her ideas which conflicted with the narrative that was building in earlier episodes. I actually didn't mind the character of Finn (John Boyega has talent) but making him second flddle to Rey (whom I never connected with) didn't make much sense since he was also supposed to be force sensitive.
Enjoyed "the Mandalorian" waiting for Baby Yoda to kick ass
