Are the Star Wars movies worth watching?

I've never seen a single one and don't really know chit about them besides "I am your father" and whatnot and the little green kunt.

I don't want to part with my precious money and commit to watching them if they're chit.

I love them. Srs. When I was a kid we had a neighbor who had the og trilogy on vhs and every week id borrow them and watch them lol. This went on for a while. Some I like more than others, but overall I love the movies
I know who I am. And after all these years, there’s a victory in that.

Obviously you should watch the original three movies (referred to as the Original Trilogy). The first two especially are genuinely really good, entertaining movies.

If you really liked those and need more to scratch the itch, go ahead and watch the second three movies released (referred to as the Prequel Trilogy). They have some script and dialogue issues, but they're very imaginative.

Under no circumstance should you watch the latest three movies released (episodes 7, 8 and 9). They are unwatchable. No creativity. Boring. Horrible characters. Just a full on abortion, especially The Force Awakens.

If you watch Star Wars for the first time as an adult, you will be confounded as to why they are so popular.

You might have missed the boat.

I’ve heard people say the originals are quite dated when watched now for the first time.

I’d still watch the first 2 (Star wars and Empire Strikes Back). Rogue One is very good too and modern

Easily the best outside the original trilogy. OP could've probably started with that one, but I don't know if it really adds much and then he might've been tempted to watch the other films.

This guy seems to think they're alright.[/QUOTE]That was tough to get through JFC-- tbh only made it about 4 minutes in with some skipping around because I was so repulsed. A grown man weeping tears of joy watching the trailer for a 2/10 movie.

I liked the original trilogy OP, and have seen the new ones which were 100% unadulterated horsechit. Honestly never having seen them at all is kind of cool so I would just keep that going. You're not missing much.

Yes they are. Watch Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The rest are optional.

Yea. Wish I could watch them all over again without knowing what will happen. Look up the watching order though, it all makes sense if you watch them in the correct order. It's hard to go from the high quality CGI to the low quality from ep 123-456 but I like that viewing order much more

As an adult idk, if you're very into cinema then absolutely. Gonna be different experience than those that grew up with the movies and games.

You're gonna cringe at a couple spots in the prequels, but will enjoy them if you like the background story of SW. The only new films worth watching are Rogue One and maybe Solo.

If I didn't grow up with them as a kid I probably wouldn't have much interest in them, srs

But I was obsessed with them when I was like 10, and still follow along. Even though the new movies were mostly trash

Gonna have to disagree with this. You're much better off watching the originals first (4, 5, 6) rather than chronological order.

I can't stomach Disney wars. I even tried to block out their blatant signalling and artificial casting - you should hear what the director has said in interview, typical nonsense. I tried my hardest but even politics aside the poor CGI, plots, character development and the disregard for the previous universe was too much. I just don't bother anymore.

The real creator has no real hand in Stars Wars, it's been dead a long time. If you can enjoy it's new mutation for what it is then great, but it's not Stars Wars.

I would say you can get away with the first 6 episodes before you start noticing it REALLY plummet.

After finishing the 1st movie I noticed some serious sexual tension between Hans, Luke and the Princess. I'm wondering if the next one has some sort of love triangle thing going at worst, or at best they put Leia on a spit roast?

this for the time the original 3 were probably epic watching them in cinema for first time, but now they're pretty underwhelming

the prequels were meh, episode 6 is pretty cool to watch cause you know what's coming

the new ones are stereotypical modern day progressive chit
