The Rise of Skywalker
The Book of Boba Fett
Rogue One

I mean its a spoiler but Andor has jedi so that criticism doesn't even work
You can write a story containing Jedi but they're like Superman - they're hard to write around. There's nowhere left to go with ramping up lightsaber fights after the prequels threw 40 of them on screen together and two thirds of the last movie being lightsaber fights. You need more meat to a story than it has a lightsaber fight - thats a tiktok video.

So close, i'd just stick rogue one above force awakens. Then I'd put the original prequels somewhere below Solo. Bugs me a bit that shitshow is still called 'the prequels'. Andor/rogue one are the proper prequels and they feel much more like Star Wars than whatever those other films were trying to achieve, dunno how some people can't see it.
----------------- automatic CL qualification
Rogue One
Andor
---------------- playoff spots
The Clone Wars (animated) [watched this reluctantly with my son, but it wasn't bad]
Rebels (animated)
The Force Awakens [a cover version of A New Hope]
The Mandalorian
---------------- mid table mediocrity
Obi Wan-Kenobi
--------------- relegation fodder
The Rise of Skywalker
Solo
-------------- criminal charges to be filed
The Book of Boba Fett
The Last Jedi
(Haven't seen Ahsoka, don't plan on it)

While Boba Fett was largely bad. Not enough credit goes to the Mandalorian "season 2.5" episodes jammed in there imo! Those were quality and literally the only reason to watch any of that series. Plus you can just watch those and none of the rest of the series and be fine.
At least boba/ashoka/mando had good looking trailers. This could be the worse of the lot, seen fan made star wars trailers that look better than that.
It was like watching old kung fu movies. But way worse.
Stop it guys, the franchise is dead, your work is done.
Who is in charge for casting in Disney? Does that person say on audition, "Ok, i have awful scenario for next show so i need also worst of the worst bunch for acting roles".

I don't trust critics at all when it comes to Disney/Marvel. I can't fathom there's any true objectivity when the disparity between what viewers rate, and what critics rate, is so large. You can't even attribute it to hordes of trolls either. They'd have to vote in such mass numbers so often, which is totally implausible. I'm convinced that 'independent' journalists and main entertainment journalists just don't want to be blacklisted by the big mouse from future early review access.

I've watched them and it's solid. Way better than mandalorian
Andor the only shining beacon in a sea of turds.
Rogue 1
Andor
The Force Awakens
Some of The Mandalorian
Robin Hood: Men in thights
Joe Rogan doing standup
A nuclear apocalyps
Having a James a Corden face tattoo.
The chase scene in Obi wan.
Been meaning to rewatch Rogue One again because I initially didn't think much of it outside of the visuals and World building.
The characters were utterly bland from what I recall.

Since Disney took over? Clone Wars for me. And Rogue one was very good.
Everything else was from meh to shit.
Rogue one was very good actually. That Vader scene....
Define modern. After Disney took over or everything after New Hope?
I'd say it has 3 era's. The original 3, the Prequels and everything after Rogue 1.
The animated Clone Wars stuff is actually quite good, though bit more aimed at kids and runs throughout the other things I think.
People were shitting about 1,2 and 3 back then but (for me at least) they were amazing. Even better than original 3. Yeah, Gungans were little bit annoying but everything else was excellent. Actors, acting, story and especially lightsaber fights.
Maul vs QGJ and Obi, Palps vs Yoda, Dooku vs Obi and Obi vs Anakin. Perfect.
I disagree that clones were for kids. You had some brutal kills in that show and deep stories. These new shows are more for kids than animated stuff was.
I've only seen The Clone Wars from the animated stuff admittedly.
I also liked the prequels more than most, but better than 4, 5, 6? Naaah. Someone else should have written the dialogue for that. And they shouldn't have cast Hayden Christensen, though the writing really didn't help him out.
Prequels are frankly awful. I can't watch them. Pod race is good, the finale of Menace is not bad (with exception of annoying kid in space). Attack of the clones is a garbage film, and return of the sith has some hilarious scenes. It just got so fecking silly. Even the light saber battle was dull.
Booooooo
My problem with most of the duels is that they are all flash and zero actual trying to defeat the opponent.
They should watch Rob Roy. That Liam Neeson Tim Roth sword fight is how it's done.
Only reason people think the prequels aren't bad is that they were kids when they first saw them. There's some good stuff in them, sure, but as films they're much, much worse than the original trilogy.
1 and 2 were mostly garbage (Podracing was awesome though), but the 3rd movie is either the best one of all or just behind Empire strikes back and i'm ready to die on this hill.
nah, I like them. And im old as feck
Yeah the third is alright.
I remember sleeping in one of them at the Cinema
Eh…it’s a mixed bag so far. There’s a couple characters I like, so it has that going for it at least. Thought I recognized Jecki from somewhere through her makeup (it was His Dark Materials).
I'll keep watching, but Andor or S1/2 Mando it ain't.

Nah, the third one is feckin' terrible too.
The few best things of all the prequels are in Phantom Menance, and that is still a terrible film
I don't trust critics as they usually only rate arthouse films about a man who is a shoe, or a girl who falls in love with a fish as "a stunning masterpiece" and then rate something excellent, such as Infinity War/Endgame as "lacking in shoe-men, or fish love, (2/10)
There are characters I like in the first 2 episodes. The mystery/investigation angle is working for me so far in terms of wanting to watch and see where it goes. A plus is it is allowed freedom being so far removed in the timeline from other properties. So no reliance on nostalgia characters or limitations on "breaking canon" too bad.
Now will have to see where the rest takes us. Hints of the villain are interesting. Will there be payoff determines the worth of the show as a whole ultimately. Will see.
The fight choreography hard to say. It is way more "Kung fu" than other Jedi based stuff we have seen before. And the first fight in particular was giving me 'Matrix in robes' for obvious reasons. But that may not be fair and me typecasting just because of the actor.
