Are you a Star Wars fan? I'm beginning to question if I am...
So, Star Wars Rogue One is coming out. I'm pretty excited to see it.
Yet I'm beginning to question if I'm even that much of a Star Wars fan. If I give my cailano one to five star rating to all of the movies, they'd look like this.
Episode IV: *****
Episode V: *****
Episode VI: ****
Episode I: ** (could have been three without Jar Jar, maybe four if they hadn't wasted Darth Maul)
Episode II: n/a (no stars possible for such an abhorrent tragedy of filmaking )
Episode III: * (barely)
Episode VII: ***
How excited am I about Episode VIII? Not really much at all. The last one had a re-heated story arc, a pathetic villain, and really just didn't engage me much. I thought it was kind of fun... sort of. Nothing that left me waiting anxiously for more.
So what about Rogue One? The trailers look great, my hopes are high. If it's another four or five star movie on the cailano scale it might make me think I'm still a fan. I'd like to be, some of my earliest memories are of geeking out over Star Wars movies and collecting the action figures. But if it's another three star or less, I'm going to start thinking the Force might just be too weak to keep this franchise interesting.
Am I alone in the world? What are your thoughts on the state of the galaxy far, far away?
