Everybody getting all crestfallen about the absence of Jar Jar can take heart that there's still plenty of Boss Nass in this film, including an entire dance sequence set to the B-Boys' 'Sure Shot' (as is the Abrams way).

I know it's evoked on occasion, but it still needs to be explicitly pointed out now and again: this movie was directed by someone who put a Beastie Boys song in each of the Star Trek movies he directed. That actually happened.

Morbs it'll fascinate you to (perhaps) learn that "fan service" didn't originally mean "stuff fans want" it specifically meant "pointless T&A in anime"

Ok so... it's Abrams. But...based on some of the press I was pleasantly surprised.
I mean...I cannot stan for this the way I did TLJ. It has a solid first half but gets really messy in the second. He stuffs too much in there and some of it doesn't land.
But...it hit enough right notes for me that I enjoyed it. Definitely a dumber SW movie than the one before but hey the OG trilogy was often p dumb too.
I did like some of the new mythos

I thought it was dire. Would rank it with Episodes I to III

Reading this recap by the NY Times of how their film critics rated each of the Star Wars episodes from 1-9, I was bowled over to read how much A.O. Scott loved "Revenge of the Sith":
"...by far the best film in the more recent trilogy, and also the best of the four episodes Mr. Lucas has directed."
"The sheer beauty, energy and visual coherence of 'Revenge of the Sith' is nothing short of breathtaking.."
And this after he panned "Attack of the Clones"!

As noted somewhere upthread, I've only seen the prequels once in the theater, but my perception at the time was that each improved slightly upon the one before. I am somewhat curious to see how they'd fare a second time around.

that's my recollection too but I also saw them out of order; I skipped Attack of the Clones completely and though Sith was a step up from Phantom Menace. I saw Clones several years later and liked about half of it and found the other half dreadfully boring. But not as cringe inducing as Phantom.
― akm, Saturday, 21 December 2019 02:28 (four years ago) link
my memory is that the most cringe-inducing bits got worse in 2 and then 3 but on average the films improved
