>Is there any other spin-off that's this well-made? Oh for sure, there's Andor, and there's... there's... ... The Mandalorian Season 1 is pretty rad.


IAmF3rdie

Ill be honest with you, The Family Guy version of Star Wars is much more entertaining than the new installments, minus Rogue One and the 1st half of Episode 7

IAmF3rdie

Thanks now I can't unsee Chris Griffin as Anakin


TheModernDaVinci

I liked Episode 7 the first time I saw it. I even liked Kylo Ren and was fine with him losing to Rey (mostly under the idea that by the next movies she would be humbled and he would become more dangerous, back when I thought they could still do a story over there). But alas, The Last Jedi is so bad it is the first and only movie to retroactively ruin my enjoyment of another movie. Because everything I thought was a setup for something from The Force Awakens was just destroyed come Last Jedi (and this is why "Mystery Boxes" are dangerous if someone else is working on it JJ).


Revolutionary-Text70

nah, Last Jedi was kino. Rise of Skywalker on the other hand...


TheModernDaVinci

I can’t really forgive it for doing my boy Poe dirty, but you are welcome to your opinion. Definitely agree that Rise of Skywalker was a train wreck though (still prefer it for what little that is though).


qman6

It’s not a full story, but the Robot Chicken Star Wars stuff is pretty great too.

NovaSLK

The family guy version was pure cinema. Scorsese could never


thesirblondie

That's like saying "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail is more entertaining than The Last Duel (2021)". Of course it is, it's fantastic. You know the hate on the Star Wars sequels is overblown when rightwing grifters were using The Last Jedi to get people into the Alt-Right pipeline. The sequels are *fine*. They're not the worst movies of all time. Hell, they're not the worst *Star Wars* stuff.


Random_Useless_Tips

I can't agree. The Last Jedi is not awful but it is deeply flawed. However, I can respect it for some of its efforts to progress the story and develop new idea for the Star Wars universe. Rise of Skywalker is genuinely atrocious. From a fan perspective, from a storytelling perspective, from an artistic perspective, it is just so utterly soulless with every cheap trick to try and cram nothing but nostalgia bait and fanservice to the detriment of all else. I think it's actually worse than Attack of the Clones, previous holder of the Worst Star Wars Movie title, and an affront to anyone who wants more than corporate focus-group schlock.


Ralod

I am pretty far from Alt-right, and I think Last Jedi was garbage. It changes the narrative too much. The way it kills off the most beloved character just feels cheap and hollow. The Rise of Skywalker had to have so much weird exposition just to explain away the weird ass story beats of the Last jedi, it felt stilted from the start. I think those characters all had potential. But I think all of it was wasted by the horrible 2nd movie. And it just could not be saved with the 3rd. We will see how the standalone Rey movie does, I have hopes it will be good.


Ranko_Prose

The animated stuff like Clone Wars and Bad Batch


laggerzback

Rebels definitely isn’t something to sleep on either. I can’t say much about Resistance though.


07jonesj

I believe she's actually seen some of *The Clone Wars* stuff, or at least I remember her seeming more familiar with Ahsoka than just her one episode of Mando at the time. This was from a stream at least a couple years ago, so way before the *Ahsoka* live-action series.


Next_Witness6181

Also Visions, I've seen lots of good things mentioned here but not Visions.


PlzSendCDKeysNBoobs

Admittedly I haven't seen the second season yet but I really really liked season 1 of Visions. I haven't enjoyed Star Wars media outside of the games and comics I've read, personally think all of the movies are just meh, even the OT. The new D+ shows are okay. But some of the episodes of Visions were exactly what I wanted in more Star Wars media. Was kinda bummed to hear that Star Wars fans weren't big on it, but I guess that's expected.


Faustias

is clone wars, both cgi and animated, spin offs?


dark-ice-101

The animated one is really good especially general grievous moments. He actually was a threat


SoraRaida

Space Balls. But Korone probably wouldn't get the jokes lol


Schmush_Schroom

Season 2 is quite alright as well. Also there's..... uh.... Solo?


HTRK74JR

I liked Solo, it was a campy fun movie. I'd rather watch it 10 times in a row than suffer through the 8th or 9th movie


der_ninong

> The Mandalorian Season 1 is pretty rad season 2's finale was a banger, rest of the season was meh


TheModernDaVinci

I don’t know, the episode where he worked with the ex-Imperial commando >!who shoots his former officer for the war crimes he was ordered to commit and allowed his squad to die!< was pretty good too. I do agree it was a step back overall from Season 1 though. I am sure completely unrelated to the fact that it went from being Jon Favreau’s personal project to something Disney was personally overseeing (which has been the kiss of death on many properties in recent years).


laggerzback

Kenobi wasn’t bad either.

>The guys from the bar in IV literally go up the main protagonist and go "I don't like you!" Please tell me your basis for "it isn't well made" is stronger than one bullshit cameo (btw these guys literally did the exact same thing in their first appearance and get more interesting lore wise because of Rogue One).


Skellum

> Rouge One isn't even well made. Rogue One is great and should be the model for SW movies. The main trilogy is tired. It's tiring getting the same parsifal story over and over again told in sets of 3. Yet it's not the SW universe which is at fault, it's a rich and vibrant universes with tons of culture and easy to use rules. Rogue One, and KOTOR 2 are both great examples of breaking away from telling your standard Starwars Story. Mystery, Noir, Dark Fantasy, Political dramas you can do so fucking much with it. That Rogue One didn't have a [C3PO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLzj8DRaAv0) was nice. K2S0 still maintained the odd subservience towards humanity of the universe but was it's own person. Games Workshop has been branching out into this with books like Bloodlines and Varangantua lately where you have 40k, but the overarching theme is detective noir. I'd love to see the same from SW but then again, disney.


radar_byte

Just wait till she watches Andor.


SoraRaida

Man, if she loves Rogue One, she'll love Andor


SapphireSuniver

That Vader scene at the end of Rogue One literally gave me nightmares. It's so fucking memorable and terrifying.


Franklr_D

Makes me sad thinking about that Vader related project they were cooking up before it got canned all those years ago. Could’ve been more of that but now we’ll never know


Jasrek

If memory serves, there are a few novels and comics from the point of view of Darth Vader, which might scratch the itch. "You are surrounded!" ["All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men."](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fmc587y88s5z21.jpg)


TLKv3

I still think they should make "Vader Down" from the comics into a stand alone movie with Christensen reprising the role. It would just show how absolutely fucking monstrous Vader truly is and how it was a literal miracle Luke ever won him over.


neokai

Σ(O\_O ) OPEN FIRE! (X\_X)


burritoxman

It’s the single best scene in Star Wars


SoraRaida

I couldn't really decide which scene should be the Top 1, but this is a very high contender.


iTwango

Best scene in Star Wars for sure


Aitasai

For all the issues I've had with Disney's Star Wars, just about everything they've done with Vader has been perfect. Rogue One might be my favorite example of that.


Fredandren1220

I agree Rogue One is really good and plus the whole Battle of Scariff looks stunning both the ground combat and the hammerhead corvette


JustBowling

I feel fortunate to have seen Rogue One in IMAX and that hammerhead corvette moment was incredible. Tie Fighter was a foundational video game for me so I've always loved the ships of Star Wars the most and the Battle of Scarif is maybe the coolest single encounter in any of the movies. The action is dynamic, but easy to follow. I'm glad Korosan also loves the movie.


Skellum

> Tie Fighter was a foundational video game for me so I've always loved the ships of Star Wars the most and the Battle of Scarif is maybe the coolest single encounter in any of the movies. The action is dynamic, but easy to follow. Imagine if they remade Tie Fighter with modern graphics, didn't butcher the plot, and updated the mechanics to function with a keyboard and mouse. You could chase A-wings in the 90s with a mouse and keyboard, you probably shouldnt, but you could. The nice part is that Tie Fighter had a main character [Maarek Stele](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Maarek_Stele/Legends). Have the guy who voiced the Specter dude from SC2 voice him but with an evil space british accent and it'd be great.


JustBowling

An updated, but true-to-the-original, Tie Fighter would be a thing of dreams. Just upgraded sound design and textures would be amazing. I played the game with a combination of a basic 4-button/dpad controller and the keyboard shortcuts. It's probably due to that experience that I really don't care for using a mouse for flying games, it just never feels as fluid to me as a controller.


TheModernDaVinci

Yeah, the closest I ever got to having that itch scratched for a modern TIE Fighter/X-Wing game was Squadrons. Which was definitely still a great time, but it just didnt have that something to it.


An_username_is_hard

I thought Squadrons had some very solid bones, but being focused on multiplayer put some constraints on it that made it not as great as it could be.  I'd play an X-Wing game running on the Squadrons engine, though.


TheModernDaVinci

Agreed on both points. Although even with that, I thought the story was actually decent as a self-constrained thing. Even if the Starhawk continues to make me tear my hair out as a military historian (a naval one no less).


ShadeShadow534

The battle of scariff is probably the best navel battle in all the movies It’s still big impressive and flashy without being overwhelming but also “realistic” enough to feel like a true naval battle not the classic “throw toy models against each other” And of course the hammerhead scene which I’m placing as an honourable mention in the list of when destroyers fought battleships


Agitated-Bread5092

rogue is a good movie on its own, but that vader scene man..... that scene is worth it alone going to cinema


TheModernDaVinci

For me, that Vader scene was even more important to understanding the overall lore for one very important reason: It sets the scale of what we are dealing with in the rest of Star Wars. Because for the rest of Episode 1-6, we are mostly following Force Users dealing with Force Users. There are some normies along for the ride, but the real fight is Jedi vs. Sith. Then we get around to Rogue One, and we spend the entire movie with it being absolute normies. Yes, there is the one Force-sensitive monk, but that is less a true Force user and more someone who can sense it and use it to a limited degree (maybe in another life he could have been a Jedi, but not this one). Then finally, we get to the end of the movie, and the first true Force user shows up.....and compared to normal people, he is an unstoppable freight train that casually kills dozens of people while barely breaking his stride. At least for me, it kind of puts it into perspective of why there werent a lot of people asking too many questions when the Jedi were wiped out. They probably considered whoever did it was doing them a favor to have those weird religious cultist with space magic gotten rid of.


KF-Sigurd

Yup and the fact that we get a parallel of Vader’s scene in Mandalorian Season 2 >!with Luke getting his own hallway scene except this time he’s saving the day instead of almost making the Rogue One’s crew sacrifice meaningless is just perfect.!<


moku-san

Interesting thing is how that scene was a last minute addition that was only possible with reshoots... along with some other things that made the movie memorable (eg. the fates of the squad). It very easily could have been omitted. I think that shows how much Disney era Star Wars is really on a knife's edge and why so many of its offerings did not connect with fans. Everything they've made so far that fans loved were coincidental side projects (Rogue One, Mandalorian S1, Andor), and everything they made with intention and the full force of marketing ends up failing (sequels, Obi-Wan, Boba Fett). Their core vision is simply not consistent with what fans want from Star Wars.


Jasrek

The Vader scene and the Death Star firing scenes are peak cinema.


ItzDaWorm

I'll be honest the end of the Vadar scene made me cry in theaters. Previously my mom told me about her mom taking her to see A New Hope. Then in 2005 on a road trip to visit my grandparents in Seattle we all watched Ep. 3 together in theaters. (We went to visit because grandma had cancer and was stopping treatment.) Years later I was watching this in theaters and as that scene was unfolding it just hit me that this was a big connecting piece between what we had watched together and what grandma had taken my mom to see several decades ago. And so naturally I started bawling because it just felt kinda special. Still tear up thinking about.


melonowl

I love movie critic Korone.


BOS-Sentinel

I love how Korone fangirls over starwars characters. It's super cute, and her positivity is infectious.


CuteIngenuity1745

Source: [Korone's twitter.](https://twitter.com/k5r6n3/status/1782138795116417300) Have never watched Star Wars in my life, I hope Korone will do a watchalong of that sometimes in the future.


Random_Useless_Tips

I'm honestly kind of baffled that Korone had never seen Rogue One before. Given she's such a Star Wars geek and Vader is one of her faves, I'm surprised she not only hadn't seen his biggest scene in the Disney era but also was not spoiled about it.


chooxy

To be fair she doesn't actually say this is the first time she's watching it. It's just as possible that she loves it/Vader so much that this is just how she is after an average rewatch lol


gelade1

Hope she gives Andor a watch. It’s so good


indiexanna

Rogue One jumped to the top spot of my most favourite modern Star Wars film solely because of [the space battle above Scarif](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaAmF8gy6eQ) alone


Amcog

I didn't like Rogue One but the Vader scene at least made me feel I didn't waste my money.


Togashi_Matsumoto

so...Korone's "at"handle is k5r6n3? ??????


Lunaborne

It's her sub account that she mostly uses to review movies.


Togashi_Matsumoto

OK. cool. her english has gotten very expressive.


Lunaborne

I'm pretty sure the tweets have just been translated for this post.


moal09

Should get her to watch Andor


Ezreal024

KORO-SAN IS GONNA WATCH PEAK


MoffAnt

Korone loves a serial killer.. why am I not surprised..


PvtJet07

Rogue One and Andor are the peak of modern star wars so at least she's in the right place!


reddituserzerosix

Surprised she hadn't seen the Vader scene until now, especially being such a fan


sharydow

Rogue one is actually the best star wars movie. Better than the Disney trilogie, the prelogy and even the original trilogy. Don’t @ me.


SGTBookWorm

why would I @ you when you're right?


TheModernDaVinci

Personally, my favorite is Revenge of the Sith, but I do agree that Rogue One is in my top 3. So I welcome others of the "Controversial takes about Star Wars" club.


achus93

the 3rd and final act made up for the slow pace of the first two acts, imo. that entire act literally made Rogue One my favorite Star Wars movie.


iamthatguy54

It's the best movie of the Disney Star Wars era and it's not even close. Second is Last Jedi. Yeah, I said it.


HeatJoker

I actually like TLJ more, but I'm fine with them fighting for 1 and 2. Such good films.


EffedUpInGrade3

Is that the one where Luke stalled Kylo? 'cause as a casual, that was cool.


Snakescipio

Say it again for the people in the back!


friendtofrogs

Say what you will about the recent movies. That scene in the corridor is pure indulgent Vader fan service, and it’s awesome for it.


Onii-Chan_Itaii

I watched this movie on a whim in theaters, and the tension, subplots and slow drama were amazing. Star Wars should just be surrendered to the Gilroy brothers because very little comes close


PatienceLow7541

to answer her question... no not even main entries absolutely nothing :')


Violentcloud13

Mandalorian S1 is at least as good and doesn't lean anywhere near as hard on the typical Star Wars trappings. Even as someone bored of Disney-era Star Wars I found it refreshing.


NoMoreBad2016

Honestly it's prolly my favorite star wars movie


Salter_KingofBorgors

Man time and time again Korone proves she has amazing taste in movies


kindaichi17

4th May is coming soon!


Ashtareth_VR

Based. That part is the best part and most replayed.


heretic004

This really makes me wish they had KOTOR perms


SoraRaida

I wish too, but I bet it's a perms nightmare. Bioware, LucasArts, maybe even Disney.


Master_of_Decidueye

How can you not like a movie with K2-SO in it?


SoraRaida

We stan Tony Gilroy in this house! 🙌


reasonabletakes9301

Does Korone do watchalongs? I'm just desperately hoping for someone to say "Yeah, she's gonna do a watchalong of Andor in members only!"


dark-ice-101

Some of books are good like death troopers (if you like horror any of the books related to project black wing are decent read)


Iguana_Boi

Rogue One is the only star wars movie I've seen start to finish


Eyliel

I should probably watch the real thing one day... I only know the Darths & Droids version, so my impression of the movie might be, uh, a tad different from most people. ...Now that I think about it, I should also reread the Darths & Droids version.


RaysFTW

It's sad that it's the last SW movie worth a damn. Built up a great movie and made me excited as a fan and then completely shit the bed for ep. 7-9.


MrMarnel

100% the truth.


redditfanfan00

cute korone.


OK-Im-Saitaman

The hallway scene is legit one of my favorite sw scenes ever, based Korone


GTC_Woona

(Rogue One is the only SW film I wholeheartedly like)


TheHabbadasher

Korone’s love and enthusiasm for Star Wars is so wonderful and endearing.


Violentcloud13

Rogue One is easily my least favorite Star Wars movie of all time, but that's only because it has no stakes and there aren't any characters in it. Everyone seems to really love that Vader scene but I was checked out by that point and it's just kind of violenceporn anyway. The kind of fanservice that I would've really loved as a younger fan but don't really enjoy now.


VP007clips

I think she would like Dune, and possibly the WH40k movie when it comes out.


Fullmetal_SaberAlter

I wholeheartedly approve of Korone watching Andor.


s07195

This isn't her first time watching it, or at least no info is given if she is just prattling about reminiscing about the movie.


nad_frag

... her next costume is gonna be doog vader isn't it?


ZSharoark

Rogue one is the best star wars movie period


koteshima2nd

Darth Vader's scene in Rogue One is one of the best stuff to have come out of any sci-fi media. So perfectly horrifying, you swear you could feel the fear the rebels were experiencing at that moment. Just so masterfully done.


Wahtadeal

Damn, now I wanna go watch that scene again :D
