But TFA, Jedi, and Sith (come at me) are better than it.

 

I enjoy TFA and Jedi a lot, but both of them re-hash the Death Star in a clunky way. Rogue One is a true prequel where the Death Star makes sense. 

 

Sith is better than 1&2, but it's still rubbish.

I'll gladly defend Sith for a long time. It has its flaws, but the action is a lot of fun and it features some of the saga's best tracks.

Defend all you want. The music is very good, but the special effects were questionable IMHO. The lava planet sequence in particular looked like bad PlayStation graphics even in 2005 and has not held up well over the last 11 years. The acting and dialogue were complete shit by 2 of the most important characters in the film. Anakin's turn to the Dark Side was not handled in a believable manner (happened too fast). Overall better than the first two, but that is really not saying much. It's lipstick on a pig.

Really, it's like some of you forgot all sense and logic when remembering how box office works. 155m openers and 50m openers will NEVER behave the same, I don't care if they open in a brand new 13th month of the year. 

 

But you're the one who was comparing the two movies to begin with.

Palpatine and Yoda were probably the two best things in that movie.

300 would be incredibly surprising to me. In fact I think under 150 is more likely than over 200

The Lego Movie did $250 million. I don't see this falling short of that.

Obi Wan was good. I'd love to see Ewan McGregor come back for a spinoff with a competent director

McGregor did very well considering the poor direction and dialogue he was working with. Would definitely like to see him as an older Obi-Wan.

The only thing that disappointed me about the score for Sith was not coming up with an original peice for the show down between Yoda and Palpatine. Instead they just reused Duel of the Fates from TPM.

HOLY SHIT

The visual effects are dated, but that doesn't take away from how fun it is to me at least.

Jackie will be expanding to 300-325 theaters over the Christmas frame.
