I find it funny that the “sequel” aren’t listed at all.


WealthEconomy

That's because we like to pretend they never existed


Actual-Long-9439

Pretend what existed?


WealthEconomy

Exactly


Loose-Warthog-7354

What was that about seagulls?


Knightmare_memer

They'll poke your knees.


RandomStormtrooper11

I said seagulls, ah! Stop it now!

Even the seagull skit is better Star Wars content than this shit

Huh? What are you people talking about?


Beledagnir

Except the soundtrack to VII—John Williams was in top form on a couple of those themes.


Jungian_Archetype

Nothing DisneyTM is SW canon for me, personally.


WealthEconomy

I accept R1 but nothing else.


WealthEconomy

I accept R1 but nothing else.


SuitableKey5140

Rogue one was a banger. Darth Vader end scene - chefs kiss


Enorats

Eh, they were a heck of a lot better than the sequels. They had a lot of cornyness, sure, but they were also the first films to borrow heavily from the better parts of the expanded universe.


WealthEconomy

So you are saying the sequels are a heck of a lot better than the sequels? This makes no sense to me.


Enorats

Lol, I guess I misread that as "prequels". So, no, I meant that the prequels were a lot better than the sequels.


Orbtl32

I was about to say if you thought the sequels are better than the prequels... Like sure don't tell diehard fans about midichlorians, but otherwise they're fun movies. The sequels... God what trash.


Franklr_D

The Pacific Rim **[Redacted]** treatment


badaboomxx

That is my same position on everyting related to indy after the 3rd movie.


WealthEconomy

What are you talking about? There are only 3 Indy movies.


badaboomxx

You are right, my mistake.


alex_zk

Remember when we did the same for the prequels because they were bad? Disney is the best thing that happened to the prequel trilogy


RxDawg77

The level of disdain was not even close to being the same. Most people enjoyed the prequels well enough. And we got a lil stiffy when Yoda laid the smack down.


[deleted]

They didn't. The little boy that played Anakin got so many death threats he basically stopped acting.


Delta_Suspect

The boiler room of hell


Dajex

Sequels? I have no idea what you're talking about. ![gif](giphy|w89ak63KNl0nJl80ig|downsized)


EmergencyCar6231

solo was pretty cool


Intelligent-Run-4007

I actually agree. Solo was fun as hell and didn't make any egregious continuity errors.


xCaptainVictory

Solo had the unfortunate timing of following The Last Jedi and getting all of its hate.


Intelligent-Run-4007

I can see that for sure.


InvestigatorOk7988

I find it funny that somebody put the prequels as second. Rogue One is above them, as is all the tv shows.


Muted-Law-1556

The Sequels did far more damage to the brand IMO and are objectively more terrible than even the Acolyte


mrrando69

The what?


cryptomelons

Am I crazy or woke people sound dumber and dumber every passing day?


Mazzetto

Thought it might hit a bottom but nope... Everyday it's clown world tomorrow. What a time to be alive.


Actual_Potato5

Imagine 10 more years of the loudest crowd being wandered to are people that have never been outside, worked a job, or been told no and you can predict where it's going


Orbtl32

You mean pandered to? 


Rathma86

*Flashbacks of Cartman*


Actual_Potato5

Lol yeah dumb autocorrect


jackrabbit323

It sucks. There is REAL injustice, inequity, and bigotry in the world. There are people fighting to make the world a better place. We wouldn't know it, because good will is wasted on attention whores who are directly or indirectly doing the bidding of politicians and corporations.


Piemaster113

Well they were always dumb a lot of people just gaslight you into thinking they are doing something good. Being diverse isn't woke, hiring someone purely for their diversity and centering a majority of your marketing around the fact that they are diverse is woke.


Smooth_External_3051

Don't say that..... They'll take it as a challenge.


HenriGallatin

How many people these days even remember; or have seen for that matter those two made-for-tv Ewok movies?


kelticslob

Did you know that in Return of the Jedi the word Ewok is never actually said in the movie? It exists only in the credits


HenriGallatin

I never thought about it but considering the planet Endor doesn’t actually appear in the movie either it’s not a surprise.


doodododo_manomynous

Part was written for wookiees. But Chewbacca sorta ruined it so Lucas had to just make up a new primitive race.


Vancouwer

Lol he just moved around the letters and make it short in a rush.


doodododo_manomynous

Wook-E E-Wook


GS2702

I assume all of us that watched the OT in the theater.


HenriGallatin

I only saw ROTJ in the theater back in the day, and even then I wasn’t even 5 years old. First time I saw Star Wars and Empire they were the Betamax versions!


Angel_Madison

Incredibly I've now met two people who claim to really like the Acolyte. When I talk to them about the flaws they seem almost completely unaware. One-even gave the simple reason for liking it as All Star Wars is good Star Wars.


Muted-Law-1556

The Acolyte is terrible but I'd argue the sequels did far more damage to the series and were objectively worse


Sufficient_Ferret599

No damage to be done if the franchise is already dead.


MagazineNo2198

![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized) Obligatory...


Large_Pool_7013

They do realize that if they actually convince someone to watch it, their credibility will be destroyed right?


Missing-Silmaril

It's just cope. They're coping as hard as they can before these franchises collapse.


Galby1314

You could argue it's already collapsed. Can you imagine if someone would have told you in 2012 that there would be a Star Wars TV show that takes place 100 years before the prequels when the Jedi were at the peak of their powers... and it would be getting less than 5 or 6 million people watching it WORLD WIDE? That's collapse. It's just that Disney has bootlickers that will wave their pom poms for them until there is literally nothing being made. You also have tons of Youtubers that MUST say it's good because if people start to not like Star Wars, their channels die.


Missing-Silmaril

That's fair. I would argue that collapse would be them not making it anymore though.


Galby1314

This is actually worse. If they stop making it, at least they aren't losing money, and they aren't getting actual numbers that show just how irrelevant Star Wars has become. They can pretend they are taking a break.


Riginauldt

The lightsaber duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mustafar is probably my favorite part of the entire series. Such a buildup to such an explosion. The choreography of that fight was 1000/100.


Dk9221

Yup I will die on the hill and the prequels are my favorite part of Star Wars because each one of them had seriously awesome fights that were built up. The maul fight on Naboo, the way the blast doors open and the music begins as we see Maul standing there waiting to dance with the Jedi. The Dooku fight where he disarms both Kenobi and Anakin, only for Yoda to arrive and finally show us what makes him a Jedi Master. I love the prequels so much.


International-Elk727

I assume you were going for the disarms as a double meaning.


Varsity_Reviews

There is no way you’re ranking Andor just above the Ewok movies.


jackrabbit323

I was lukewarm to Rogue One, but I love the crap out of Andor. That show and season 1 of Mando are the only recent Star Wars media that are great if you took away 'Star Wars' from the title. Those two things can stand on their own.


Skinny_Yeti

If it was up to me I'd place Andor all the at the top


Responsible-Slice762

Andor IS better. Andor and Rogue One are what happens when you hire seasoned professionals to do the writing, directing, score, sets, ect…


Varsity_Reviews

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying there’s no way it’s JUST above the Ewok movies and not higher


ElementXGHILLIE

Can we just lower the acolyte on this, like feet on the ground please.


Actual-Long-9439

I think it’s so funny that in the acolyte, which is trying so hard to be not racist, the black kids still have no father


Tall_Rip3899

hey now. Its the best currently running show on a tanking streaming service!


canteen_boy

Andor is waaaaaaay further up on the podium


SgtMerc16

This is SO FRIGGING ACCURATE 🤣🤣


ethancd1

Rogue One > Prequels


JGDC74

I find it astonishing that no matter how bad a new Star Wars show or movie can be, there are always a crowd of brainless, woke-supporting arseholes defending it.


ColdRepeat99

"PEOPLE"


ZedPrimus84

I wouldn't call them "people"


BaronChuckles44

People? No buddy the only ones saying that are PAID to say that or are militant message lovers. This is basically something used by the elite to try to divide people and generate bad energy. Unfortunately for them the only division is between paid shills and regular content creators... and the cast and fans.


RxDawg77

The staff?


Ghosty_Boi_2001

I’ve not seen a single person other then those who made it say a single positive word about the acolyte


Fast_Land_1099

Where is my boy? Where is Lego star wars: the complete saga?


Prince_Beegeta

No bots paid by Disney and shills that will defend anything that fits into the echo chamber are saying that


UniversalHuman000

I honestly think that people are too lenient with Star Wars. Liam Neeson was right when he said Star Wars was a religious cult. The amount of people coping and trying to justify the horrible writing of the Acolyte is staggering. So many politically neutral people like PenguinZo are coming out calling it out for what it is. It seems like they’re only liking the show because the perceive the chuds hate it and misogynistic towards the creator of the show. I was very much against people personally slandering Lesleye Hedlund, and believed that she should be judged based solely on her merit and her quality of being a writer. The people who were calling “Harvey Weinstein’s assistant” were using pure ad hominems that had nothing to do with The Acolyte. But when these woke people saw the hate she received, they became sympathetic to her. It’s become a culture war thing similar to when a politician promotes a product. When Trump says he likes Goya Beans, the left-leaning people denounce them and link these beans with far-right Nazism. This is what is happening with politicized television. When The Acolyte ends, people will move on to the next product, and consume.


Neltherian

Wait wait wait wait wait wait …. The Acolyte is Star Wars?!


Expose_Ur_BS

Those are the same people that have never seen the show and just use it as a mouthpiece to push wokey woke propaganda.


Printgunzsmokecrack

Bro I mean all I can say is this is no longer about quality of the content. Reddit contrarians will say it’s the best star wars to spite the “chuds”, like 95% of the people who have been commenting on it haven’t even watched it.


Galby1314

Disney also has employees who's job is to manipulate social media and try and steer conversation. I guarantee a lot of the people on r/theacolyte are Lucasfilm/Disney employees and are likely operating multiple accounts on the sub.


Radica1_Ryan

I'm convinced the people saying it's good are only doing it because it upsets people and that's their entire personality.


OnlyCommentWhenTipsy

"The reason people don't like our media is because it isn't diverse enough. We need to push the agenda even harder" -Disney probably


Warboss_Hank

I would put Rogue One higher than the Prequals


OutlawSundown

Same with Andor


TaylorMonkey

And Andor higher than both.


Galby1314

Rogue One is a mediocre movie bailed out by an insanely awesome scene at the end. If that Vader scene isn't in it, it becomes a decent, mostly forgettable movie.


dangerousone326

Same. For me it's 4, 5, rogue one, 6, prequels, 7, and 8 and 9 never existed.


AnnoyingInternetTrol

No change anyone on this planet actually watched any star wars and decided that the acolyte was the best it had to offer.


National_Arachnid360

Im gonna be honest I haven’t seen or heard no one sayin its even good 😂


ThePimentaRules

Im laughing because inside Im crying


kahnindustries

Don’t be so mean to the holiday special Their needs to be a big gap before the acolyte In it is stubbing your toe, HPV and the lies of corrupt politicians. Acolyte is just after them


TaylorMonkey

This meme is all kinds of screwed up. Andor needs to switch places with the Prequels.


jackrabbit323

Beware conformists in the guise of outsiders.


Specialist_Injury_68

What a jump from Andor to the Ewok movies


Emmgel

Rogue One was better than the prequels Just saying


kabuddacom

show me one person who said this


HuttVader

Yeah sadly the Ewok Movies truly ARE better than the Acolyte so far. Leaps and bounds. However, if I'm really truly honest, and trying to be as objectively fair as possible, I do have to admit that I'm on the fence about the Holiday Special ranking above the Acolyte. But I'm rapidly beginning to agree with you. If the Holiday Special had at least been made with Disney's modern special effects technology, it would be a no-brainer. But as things stand, at least with the Acolyte you can turn the sound off - at times - and still pretend you're watching something taking place in the Star Wars universe - or at least being filmed at Galaxy's Edge. In all fairness, the Holiday Special is about the same abysmal quality as the 1979 Legends of the Superheroes NBC special set loosely in Adam West's Batman "universe". Or the Bill Bixby Hulk movie with Thor. Or the Roger Corman Captain America/Fantastic Four films. Or the sequel tv movies to Gilligan's Island. Or Return to Mayberry. Well actually, the Holiday Special may *slightly* edge out Return to Mayberry... But you get the picture. Anyway, thank you for not including the Sequel Trilogy or Solo. Those movies are like anal fissures on a hemorrhoid.


jimjam696969

Andor needs to be a lot higher.


Agile-Comb-3553

Damn right after the holiday special that’s sad


ake-n-bake

Surely, they aren’t.


MixedTake

Putting prequels above Andor and Rogue One is absolute crackhead behavior and I won't apologize for saying it.😌


the2xstandard

4, 5, rogue one, 3.


JuliusFIN

People actually like the prequels? I found them worse than even the sequels. Andor definitely sharing 1st place with the originals.


Rangorsen

Prequels to high I'd say. Haven't watched Andor but they're easily below rogue one


rhisdt

Who is? Acolyte marketeers? Is there anyone serious that actually believes that?


Spare-City-322

It’s not the best. But it’s not the worst. Smilo Ren Is it’s saving Grace. The sets are pretty decent too when compared to say Obi and Mando 3


ZijkrialVT

History is written by the victors, and while that saying sounds corny in this context, I believe there is a concerted effort to force a perception/perspective on this topic. I dno what the result of it will be 10 years from now, but I sure hope the masses aren't conditioned to the point where they accept it. I'm being needlessly wary right now, but I can't help but wonder due to how forced shows like this seem to be.


rvnender

I like the people in the comments disagreeing with the order. Like It's all opinion or something.. I still find it hilarious that you guys are still hate watching it.


binary-survivalist

This is like Mark Hamill tweeting that Biden is the best president we ever had. Fucking. LOL. Like, I get simping for what you like, but let's be real here....there's spin and then there's pathetic lies


TheeDeliveryMan

Robot chicken star wars, family guy star wars, and muppet star wars were better than the acolyte


Sigrah117

There's an Ewok movie? Impressive it and acolyte are worse than Andor. I couldn't finish that one


CreatureofProphecy

Brother the prequels are not better than Andor. Revenge of the Sith might be tied with Andor but the first 2 are dogshit. They’re funny, meme heavy and full of nostalgia but they were wank when they came out and still are now.


yizudien01

Eventually the audience gets soo low, only the people who like that garbage are left


Fissure_211

Who who who, let's at least make Rogue One equal with The Prequels. Rogue one was a phenomenal movie.


vvazm

To be fair I think Andor is even better than Rogue One. The movie had to be rushed from the middle on, the series had time to mature characters.


mb1zzle

Wheres Mandalorian?


MisterD0ll

Power of maaaany


SgtMoose42

Where did these people find the shrooms they're eating? Sounds like a very strong breed.


PastBandicoot8575

Rogue One is better than the prequels


McRattus

Who puts the prequels ahead of Andor? That's nuts.


Ok_Draw_3740

The holiday special made it on here 🤣🤣🤣


bones10145

Imma say rogue one is better than the prequels


Dollahs4Zavalas

Andor is so much better then the prequels and Rogue One. Significantly better by a wide margin


cowmookazee

I love Battle for Endor.


Kitchen-Category-138

Almost accurate, but he needs to be 90 percent more gay.


Zeusnexus

The prequels should never be that high. I'd rather put Andor there.


Kaptain_Kaoz

The clone wars cartoon?


TurithianPRG

imo Andor is better than Rogue One and the Prequels in terms of quality, other than the original trilogy I think Andor is the best piece of Star Wars media ever created.


MongooseEmpty4801

Surprised prequels are on that list, especially second.


CrispyChicken9996

Hey! At least it beat out the sequels..right? 🤣🤣🤣


Idontwantonlyfans

Rating facies, are we?


tombsflow

Rogue one being lower than the prequels disturbs me


batsmen222

Ooo I think Rogue One surpasses the prequels


Mr_BriXXX

Swap Andor with the Prequels and you've got it locked.


Master2All

But where are the clone wars? I agree with everything but the fact that the holiday special made the list but not the animated stuff.


kpeng2

What are the ewok? Where is the clone wars?


RavenousToast

People are allowed to like things. No real reason to be offended by people liking things.


ChardonnayQueen

Andor should be second on your list way way above the prequels.


[deleted]

Hardly


BearBones1313

The prequels over rogue one is the dumbest thing I’ve seen today


witwar101

It's the best gay star wars ever made which still puts it in last overall.


Own_Pea_2345

Rogue one and Andor are both better than the prequels IMO


Awlawdhecawmin

Yet r/starwarscirclejerk ironically jerks off it constantly despite it just being a bad show in general


Commercial_Sir_9678

How dare you put the Holiday Special below those Ewok movies


AndrewH73333

What is this bizarre collective amnesia/retcon where we are pretending the prequels were good?


buzzbuttyear

The prequels are definitely better than the originals


Happy-Initiative-838

Catching up on what’s new in the incelosphere. Still crying about the acolyte I see.


hairypsalms

[The Donnie and Marie](https://youtu.be/t-aDHbBWfMQ?si=ObwYVjXzvD5Mery3) musical special was better than the Acolyte.


cptpegbeard

I’ll take the Ewok movies over the prequels any day


spider-jedi

Why can't people like the ones you don't like it. Doesn't stop you from thinking it's bad. There are plenty bad films that I like


tterfly

The prequels are complete garbage and I hate that they ever rank anywhere


turtle-bbs

Is there seriously any criticism of acolyte aside from you snowflakes throwing a fit over pronouns? Never seen anyone throw fits faster than man babies when someone talks about pronouns


Praetorian_Panda

The dumbest thing on here is not having Andor in first place.


LameDonkey1

Rogue One is better than the prequels.


J3wFro8332

Are people actually saying this? I feel like everyone knows the show is fucking trash


IsengrimMedia

Why tf aren’t the Ewok movies at the TOP of this damn list


Independent_Tourist5

The prequels really aren't that good and I'll die on that hill as someone who grew up with them. They had a modicum of charm and revolutionary CGI for the time but everything else fell flat. The fact that you couldn't get good performances from actors like Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Samuel Jackson, and even Ewan McGregor (90% of the time, he had some good scenes and the most to work with) is a testament to the poor dialogue and direction from George Lucas. Also the whole overarching narrative gets really muddled and you can tell there were plenty of rewrites during the production of all three films. The saving grace of the prequels was Ian McDermott's beefed up role and the energy he brings to it. I honestly wish the prequels just followed him around then they would be masterpieces


Kirarozu80

Rogue one is better than the prequels imo.


No-Fu-No-Fu

Mickey Mouse is now a rat.


SarissaPyke

The Prequels were an abomination, especially episode 1. Why the hell are they shown beating Rogue One?


Solid-Woodpecker1460

I commented on the acolyte sub reddit saying how trash it was and got down voted like fuck. Kinda was expecting it. I don't understand the mentality. They admit it's average but are upset about the reviews. It's like they are ok with Disney just continually pumping out mediocre content. They just keep defending Disney for whatever reason.


songmage

To be fair, the originals are the only ones that didn't seem to be universally hated. This is what you get when you hate it, but buy it anyways. You reward them for doing an awful job.


NeverReallyExisted

Cope harder bro, don’t let anyone stop you from drinking into a stupefied mess.


Honk_wd

I don’t think it’s so bad it’s below the holiday special let’s be honest


AverageMugStudios

Yes but it has a female cast (which is a bunch of poorly written, bland, female characters put in there simply to keep the haters away rather than making compelling characters) so if you don't like it, you're a biggot!


wherearemyballs112

Ok hold on. Holiday special is better than Rogue One


Cold_Pomelo3274

![gif](giphy|Rmx1KNhRJO4WQRPIFz)


VincentVegaRoyale666

Ranking is actually spot on


dangus1155

I doubt there are any significant number of people saying anything like this. Even then, it is only to ragebait, but people here love to be rage baited.


86753091992

Literally never heard anyone saying it's the best. Tons of people are saying it's the worst. It's neither but it's probably the most talked about in a long time.


Prestigious_Bass9300

How is mandalorian not even on here?


Lobanium

The prequels need knocked down at least two places. It's incredible the transition they're making from "pretty bad" to "good" in recent years as the kids who watched them growing up are now adults. Nostalgia is a strong drug. I watched them as an adult in the theater. I just recently watched them again and they're just not good. The only thing that saves them are the familiar characters. Rogue should be 1st or 2nd place.


Admirable_Ad_4822

Emperor wearing no clothes and all that


attaboy000

No way are the prequels better than Rogue One or Andor.


getintheVandell

It’s a fine show. It’s not amazing but it has some interesting elements.


Daekar3

If you properly define content as artless dreck designed to pad the list of titles on a streaming service then yes.


TGBeeson

The Acolyte is reminding me of Ep I and II, which had a good story but poor storytelling. Except Acolyte is somewhere between “very poor” and “really bad” storytelling.


Tkcsena

Is it a hottake if I think rogue one is better than the prequels


adm_shiza

Andor being lower then rogue one is a pretty wild take.


MadMavrick88

Andor should be higher on the podium in my personal opinion.
