I'm a fan of the sequels and find it's highs and lows overall pretty consistent with how I enjoy the other films. I feel it has different strengths and weaknesses, same as I can say for the other trilogies. I also know people for whom those films are "their Star Wars."
Rogue One really is the best movie they made I don’t think that can be argued.
Uhh, I'm not sure I heard the majority of any fans say any of those were "some of the best star wars they've ever seen". Andor would be the closest, it was well scripted, acted and shot. But it really didn't move the overall needle. But I did hear some call it some of the best. I really liked it but I wouldn't put it in my absolute top content.
Rise is phenomenal because it's an extremely well done attraction. The sequels don't have a lot to do with it. With a great ride, the ip isn't the most important thing. So even if you're done with star wars, you can think it's a great ride.
Video games were a lot more miss than hit. Disney has absolutely squandered that medium with their incompetence in the space. Survivor and fallen order are the highlights.
Oscillating between something being the best and worst with nothing in-between especially after disavowing it entirely is not a normal fan reaction. It's drama for clicks, an agenda, or the rantings of a small child.
Even for the “drama click baiters” you can say that if they truly didn’t like it they wouldn’t make content about it at all. Of course there’s also grifters that jump on stuff just for clicks. Welcome to the internet sadly.
The big problem I see is too many people give these click baiters and grifters too much influence. It's fairly easy to spot the legitimate channels from the ones just looking to bash Disney. I find the average fan just wants star wars to be good. That's why you see this so called whiplash. In my opinion if there's whiplash, that's an indictment on the overall quality of star wars. Even after the train wreck that was 8 & 9, the vast majority of fans still embraced mando. Even some of the biggest bashing sites didn't trash it. They didn't say star wars was fixed but they knew they couldn't dunk on it. But then along comes a book of boba or obi-wan, and it's whiplash.
The funniest part of the Obi Wan criticism was when the actress for young Leia said herself, on stage, how stupid it was when they snuck her out of the fortress under the trench coat lol

Imagine being Paramount+ which is floundering and you're trying to get your streaming service out of the bottom tier, and you find out that your number one streamer is a Paw Patrol spin-off.
They had one job, which was to not make a bad Halo series...
Anyone else find it weird that no other Star Wars movie made it? Not even the other sequels or spinoffs made by Disney?
I hear RIfftrax sales for The Last Jedi were up for May 4th.

Wow I didn’t even know Phil Tippet was still around.‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Uses Stop-Motion by Phil Tippett and Old School Matte Paintings [Exclusive]
Jon Watts discusses the magic behind Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, including getting the legendary Phil Tippett to do stop-motion for the series.
Not sure where else to post this, but apparently there will be stop motion bits in it. Showrunner mentioned that CGI is used, so for once, it isn't the crew trying to pretend it wasn't used, just that it will be used in some effects shots in lieu of CG (like how they used miniatures for some of the vfx shots involving the Razorcrest in the Mandalorian).
