7, 8, & 9 were mid movies because they were produced by people who do not understand the franchise or what the lore/world permits. And movie 9 was such a hack job that I'm shocked there weren't Alan Smithee credits.

9 is objectively a bad movie. The big bad reappears off screen and it's handwaved with "somehow". Fuck that movie. Literally the worst one by a long shot. Absolute garbage.

    I'll never understand why, when they brought the original trio of actors back and one of them sadly passed away, they decided to kill off the two living ones and keep the one who died in all three movies as increasingly weird stock footage.

    @ChicoSuave @movies I liked 7, actually, but was really disappointed by 8 throwing the build-up away again and 9 was just a mess, cleaning up nothing at all.

    I liked 7 at the time, but it’s been retroactively ruined by the whole package

    I liked 7 when it came out and was excited by where the story and characters were going. Then I was very disappointed by 8, and didn't even bother watching 9 when I heard what a train wreck it was. And I consider myself to be a SW nerd.
