Below are the reviews for the 6 Star Wars movies in the prequel and sequel trilogies. I used Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Letterboxd, then averaged them out. The weighted scores are all out of 100%.

The Phantom Menace (1999): 54% / 6.5 / 3.1/5 - 60.3%
Attack of the Clones (2002): 62% / 6.6 / 3.1/5 - 63.3%
Revenge of the Sith (2005): 79% / 7.7 / 4.1/5 - 79.3%
Prequel score: 67.6%

The Force Awakens (2015): 93% / 7.7 / 3.2/5 - 77%
The Last Jedi (2018): 91% / 6.8 / 2.9/5 - 72.3%
The Rise of Skywalker (2019): 51% / 6.3 / 2.3/5 - 53.3%
Sequel score: 67.5%

There is a .1% difference in their overall weighted scores between the two trilogies.
The prequels final movie, Revenge of the Sith, is rated the highest of the six, with sequel’s first film, The Force Awakens, not far behind.

Do you think these ratings reflect how each trilogy is perceived by its fans? Or is it mostly the critics opinion? From what I’ve heard from most fans, they would think TFA was too high while Attack of the Clones was too low, with The Phantom Menace still above the last 2 sequel movies. I think TFA was far and above the other two, and it still had potential to bring something new to the table while still sticking to Star Wars.

The original trilogy’s scores are as follows:

A New Hope (1977): 94% / 8.6 / 4.2/5 - 88%
The Empire Strikes Back (1980): 93% / 8.7 / 4.4/5 - 89.3%
Return of the Jedi (1983): 83% / 8.3 / 4.1/5 - 82.7%
Originals score: 86.7%

The average score of the whole Skywalker Saga is 73.9%

It’s crazy to me that no one Star Wars movie has an average rating of 9/10 across the 3 platforms. IMDb and Letterboxd were much harder on the sequels while Rotten Tomatoes was much kinder to them than they were the originals (still with very good reviews).

My favorite aspect of Star Wars is that's basically a melting pot of wildly different elements blended together; you can do almost anything in this setting and it could work. So else could they do with SW, even as a short one shot?

Here are some ideas.

Crime Noir: a grim-dark detective like story about a different kind of bounty hunter. Instead of a one-man-army on high adventure he's more like a hard boiled Private Investigator searching the mean streets of some imperial world looking for someone he's been hired to find.

Cyberpunk: In the clone wars, a jedi uses cybernetic implants to slice into CIS systems. During one such operation he is killed by Order 66 while his mind is linked to the computer. Later, when the shut down command is broadcast, the Lucrehulk suddenly powers up and vanishes into deep space, entirely on its own.

Mecha: A deep rivalry between a Jedi and a Sith, but instead of light sabers their weapon of choice are star fighters. They are a pair of ace pilots trying to best each other as they cross paths on the battlefield.

Post-Apocalyptic: Imagine a colony world in a remote part of the galaxy where civilization collapsed and the survivors were trapped. Centuries later the people have regressed to pre-industrial technology, living in the ruins of a more advanced civilization. But what happens when visitors land with a functioning starship?

Osea son personajes poderosos pero luego son nerfeados. Por el bien dr la trama o porque solo querían rellenar espacio?

I’m currently getting into legends. I have never read anything legends before, and I’m now reading Darth Plagueis as my first legends work.

But then I wonder; what’s next? What would you recommend me reading after Darth Plagueis?

My guess is they maybe bring back the original 3 actors by using CGI to de-age Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford or maybe have them both star in a movie together as their older selves while they bring Carrie Fisher back as Leia through CGI and archival footage from the sequel trilogy. They don’t need to do a remake of Episode 7, 8, and 9 but they can maybe just retitle it a whole new trilogy that’s separate from the original and prequel trilogies and make them spinoff movies. They need to undo a lot of things the sequels messed up such as bringing the Emperor back and make it where him returning was all just an alternate reality in the World Between Worlds. They also should still keep Rey as well.

1: A Star Wars game like hell let loose or squad a tactical milism game

2: A survival game where you play as ahsoka tano and its takes place in a Strange planet that is in a jungle or snow covered planet

3: a Shipping game that allows you to play as a freight ship captain where you build your crew and upgrade your ship
