As Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in cinemas, it's the perfect time to revisit the previous films in George Lucas's epic series. The original Star Wars (1977) dazzled audiences on its first release, but opinions on the blockbuster film series have have changed over the years.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) initially met with sniffy reviews from the critics, and is now generally considered one of the best films in the franchise. So where will @Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) rank?

When I was a kid, I could handle just about anything Star Wars and this show was no exception. It expanded on the universe of Star Wars by showing R2-D2 and C-3PO with other "masters" and other adventures they had.
Unfortunately, I don't believe the full season was ever released on DVD other than the "Best Of" which is still entertaining, but missing some episodes.
My 13-year-old self just loved it.

Don't believe the anti-hype

This film had the misfortune of not following the convoluted, cliché path some fans had thought up for it. Because of that it has been met with a mix of acclaim and disdain. I am firmly in the former party and thought this was a fantastic ride and a fitting continuation for the SW universe.

It's Star Wars enough said

Great movie that depicts the time just before Episode 4 A New Hope. Tells an in depth tale of The Death Star and how the rebels were able to get the plans. Great background story of the Erso family and other characters to help explain that tie in.

Vader being Vader (0 more)

Out of the new Star Wars Marvel canon, Vader is my favorite series. Vader being Vader is completely enjoyable to read. The flashback panel about Geonosis hit me right in the feels.

4 novellas in one book, and all of them are great in their own ways. "The Wine in Dreams" was particularly beautiful. All of them add a lot of cool flavor to the Star Wars universe.
