Rogue One is excellent and tells the backstory perfectly for Chapter 4 (first movie released). It's a little confusing at first the way they jump around but the characters all mesh and the story is strong.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 8:47 pmI think Rogue One was the best of all the Star Wars. Had a good ending. Then again I am more of a Star Trek person.Rick83 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 10:14 amThe Marvel Universe stuff is totally awesome but I beg to differ on the "7 more SW movies in the future and they would all be, for the most part, bad." In my opinion 3 of the 7 were bad (chapters 1-3), 1 was just OK (Solo), and the other 4 (chapters 7-9 & Rogue One) were actually pretty good. I love the new characters of Finn, Rey, and BB8 in chapters 7 - 8.AppfaninCAALand wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 1:11 pmSome movie geek stuff:
Kevin Feige was a young coffee runner sent over to FOX studios by Marvel Comics to keep an eye on the studio's new X-Men project. No one at Marvel, FOX, or Sony was listening to him shout about how all the Marvel property films should be set in a shared universe.
Comic book superhero movies hadn't become the dominate force at the box office yet. That really began with X-Men which would be released later that summer, and first Spiderman two years later.
There were only 3 Harry Potter books in stores and no movies released.
We were still hoping new Star Wars movies would not be aweful, despite the recent disaster that was The Phantom Menace. Little did we know there would be 7 more SW movies in the future and they would all be, for the most part, bad.
And finally, the release of the first part of greatest achievement in filmmaking, The Lord of the Rings, was still a year and a half away.
Not a fan of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings...kept falling asleep in those movies...
I was a teenager when the first movie came out and was hooked...so for me chapters 4-6, Rogue One, chapters 7-9, then Solo would be my order of favorites. Chapters 1-3 don't even make the list.
I too, love Star Trek, at least the original series and Next Generation...haven't really watched the other series. Also, the 3 latest Star Trek movies, the ones with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are excellent...especially the first one.
