    I think that would fit the xkcd criteria for a positive unpopular opinion. I haven’t checked rotten tomatoes though.

    Personally, the only modern Star Wars movie that blew my socks off was Rogue One. All the rest were either ok, or, not that great. But RO was absolutely amazing.

      I just looked it up, 86% audience score which is surprising to me because that movie is such a mess. I will stand with my 42% audience and say the last jedi was the best of that trilogy. At least it had a coherent plot and tried to make a new story.

      But yes, Rogue One has a very good case for best Starwars movie out of them all.

        I’m a last Jedi defender too. It makes me think of that anakin and padme meme with padme being last Jedi saying to the rest of the franchise “but we’re going to tell a new and interesting story right?”

        Last Jedi was a decent movie, but it was worse for having been in the middle of a trilogy.

      Wholeheartedly agree, best of all the new movies by far! Great time start to finish, added to the lore, and did homage to what came before.
