    The LOTR movies were an abortion on every level other than visuals. They failed to develop a single character or portray a single fucking scene in line with the absolutely perfect source material. Nine plus hours of movie apparently isn't enough time to stay remotely close on anything that matters, I guess. Fuck Peter Jackson.

    I still refuse to believe this is a real opinion. Amazing.
    Believe it. I hate those movies. Inexcusable character alterations for the entire cast, written in scene es and plot devices, invented characters...none of it was necessary or sensible. All it did was dumb down the story and most of the best characters for the masses. It didn't have to be that way.

    FOTR was better than ROTK

    Rogue One was better than ESB

    I'm not huge Star Wars guy at all but was actually pretty impressed with Rogue One.

    To me Rogue One is second in the entire franchise behind Empire and ahead of ANH. All the rest of it was shit except for slave suit Leia.

    Return of the King is the worst of the three so it didn't stand a chance in this contest. Fellowship of the Ring is the best one.

    WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED IN ANY STAR WARS MOVIE AFTER THE FIRST ONE?

    Nothing. The first one (because of the way GL had to rewrite the script) encapsulated the whole thing.

    We never needed another one.

    The only thing you could argue is that Darth is Luke’s dad (which is kind of stupid and convenient if you ask me).

    So - do an hour TV special in 1980 and at the end just say “okay guys, Darth Vader is Luke’s father”.

    By the way - the only truly retarded thing about SW is the father bullshit. It would have been better without it.

    The idea that Obi Wan was hiding out next to Luke and his uncle... it just wasn’t necessary.

    Literally nothing changes without it. Story would’ve been a lot cleaner without it.

    As a black male homosexual, if you can't appreciate the hotness of Billy Motherfucking D Williams as Lando Calrissian, I just don't know what to say....

    @Dennis_DeYoung you ignorant slut - even my 5 year old is smarter than you. He requests The Imperial March by a ratio of 10-1 over the Star Wars Theme in the car on the way to preschool.
