Came here to vote for Star Wars also. Anything JJ Abrams touches would be the next five.
I honestly gotta say that I really liked JJ Abrams Star Trek from 2009. I say that as a huge Star Trek fan. It was like a reimagined of the good 'ol fable of captain Kirk and his brave little crew of adventurers. It had all the things that I normally hate (first and foremost: perpetually moving camera, too many lense flares), but in this movie it worked.
His Ep7 would work if it could exist in isolation to the rest of the franchise.
To be honest star wars has been shit for decades. the only exceptional Star Wars after the OG Trilogy was "Rogue One" and the exceptional "Andor". The rest is for little children.
Star Wars was the immediate one for me. I have never seen 9, I will never see 9. I don’t watch any of the Disney+ series. What i loved most about Star Wars was the mystery that they are going through one by one to write the entirety of the story instead of just creating new stories in the universe.
By not killing Palpatine at the end of ROTJ, and making him the villain at the end of TLJ, you’ve effectively spoiled Vader’s redemption arc
But Palpatine still being alive has been part of the SW EU forever. Disney just said it was all invalid, then turned around and pilfered that same EU (including fan content) to create 7-9.
Ahh i see what you meant about Palpatine. I didn't watch ep 9 cus 8 is such a dumpster fire, so i don't know what role did Palpatine do in that and how he's still there. i thought 7 is quite okay.
Haven't you seen all the memes on how he's still there? "Somehow, Palpatine returned."
That's not a made up line, it's actually in the movie.

7 was the one where they just took 4 and made female Luke undeservedly more badass, right?
