I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
I’m curious, did you consume other non-movie Star Wars media before, like books and animates series? I have a theory that the most dislike for the new trilogy comes from them basically “rewriting history” so to speak - cancelling all the characters and events already established in the universe.
I mean I don’t think they are amazingly good movies even in isolation, but I can see someone liking them for the fun factor at least.
Nah, just the movies, going back to when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Love the OT, hate the prequels, loved TFA and RoS, hated TLJ, really enjoyed Rogue One and haven’t seen Solo or any of the Disney TV series. Never had any interest in the books or animations.
Only non movie media (not including some little action figure toys, long since lost, and a few video games) was this The Story of Star Wars vinyl record, which is basically just the audio from Ep IV with narrator filling in the gaps! 😁
Cancelling all the unofficial canon stuff was a mistake though, guaranteed to piss off a lot of people, while not really benefiting anyone who hadn’t explored it.
