Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

You need to go more unpopular. Most SW is only really good when you're 8.
An edit for the aggrieved: If actual creative people are in control instead of GL or idiot corpos, SW can make for decent space opera. Tartakovsky's Clone Wars will be good no matter how old I am lucky enough to get, as will some of the EU books that were de-canonized by Disney.
I totally agree!
But with I-III and VII-IX, there's a common consensus that they weren't exactly great.
The only exception to the rule is Rogue One. Generally speaking: Star Wars without Skywalkers is better.
I wholeheartedly disagree, but only because 4,5 and 6 are the only truly good ones, with good acting, great effects, and a fantastic story. The prequel trilogy were just bad cgi that looked passable at the time, and 7, 8 and 9 are movies trying to copy and paste what was good about the originals with a bit of moder comedy thrown in (“do you talk first or do i talk first?” 🤮). Rogue one is immensely overrated, namely because the story is only ok, and the Vader voice has a random aftican accent put on by JEJ, and that ruins all the rest for me. Except the hallway scene. That scene is so out of canon it makes me sick. The speed with which Vader moves goes against everything shown prior. He’s supposed to be a bruiser type, not a rogue.
Here's my star wars hot take. I think revenge of the sith is more fun to watch than Return of the Jedi.
Jedi feels like 2 half movies stapled together
When people are young they are not brainwashed yet and can see the world for what it is, when they grow up they get brainwashed and stressed to stupidity. Unless you provide a valid comparison to claim original star wars movies are bad i'm going to assume you are one of these people that burned out every inch of their brain
De gustibus nil disputandum, old chap. The fresh eyes of the young have their merits, but we're at our best when we're a little critical, don't you find?
Send hollywood your cv with a video of your acting, when they tell you it's too bad reply with de gustibus nil disputandum
What, and disputandum their gustabus? Sounds like a bit of a knocksy moron, don't you think?
