TLJI'd slot Solo in just below TLJ before the gigantic gap to the prequels. But as you note, repeat viewings might see it change.
True. TLJ gets worse, pretty certain Solo won't though
Didn't for me, but lets not kick if off again.
And too late ...

In all seriousness, why do you hate the prequels with a passion but like the new films? Did you seriously enjoy TLJ?

Because I find the prequels unwatchable when trying repeat viewings. Yes.

As comparatively crap as I reckon TLJ is I wouldn't go so far as to call it unwatchable. There's still enough good stuff, it's just far and away the worst SW flick in my opinion.

But why? At least provide some reasons.
Why aren't the new films just as bad?

I can't really be arsed, as we've been going on about this for months now, but I got bored trying to rewatch the prequels (Natalie Portman comes out of them looking like a first year acting student), I don't get that with any of the new ones, I've watched them all bar Solo multiple times, so no I don't find them just as bad.
I think you just need to make your peace with the fact that people like the new ones ... just like I assume some people like the prequels.

Christ, all I wanted to know was why. Apparently it's still too hard to actually provide a proper answer to that question.

The thing is that all SW films, even the prequels, have some seriously awesome scenes you can view. DVDs made that even easier. For instance, AOTC is pretty crap but the arena scene and the following light sabre scenes are farking mint. Same goes for TPM with Maul vs Obi. TLJ had jack. The only things that I might consider going back to see are the red guard scene which was farking idiotic because Rey was apparently now a master lightsaber fighter on par with Ren (so much for the claims regarding the last film that it was only because he was shot by Chewy) and Luke's tiny little cameo. In fact it was criminal to see how Luke was wasted in that film.

I actually like the look of this one, but I have my principles. No more cash to Lucas films until the current turd burgers running the show get the same treatment they gave to Admiral Akbar.
Solo is probably the most Star Wars-y of the new films. I think you’d like it.
Good luck not giving your money to Disney

Yes ultimately it's Disney, but Lucasfilms makes the films. If these films do poorly then hopefully they'll axe the halfwits in charge and replace them with people who actually give a shit about the fans and creating good characters.
But yes the feedback for this film has been solid and I'm sure I'll enjoy it when I watch it for free on cable in a year's time.

That ship has sailed.
Although Solo sounds like it’s not going that well, so maybe a correction is coming up
It would be a shame if a film that is actually good doesn't do well, but that's the inevitable consequence of making crap films and farking over the fan base. They talk about SW fatigue but strangely that doesn't apply for Marvel. If TLJ was actually good people would be going to Solo.

Is the SW franchise stuck in a similar rut to DC? They find it hard (especially the main trilogy) to break out of what is perceived to be their lane. It might be time to flip the script and try going in a more interesting direction. Time will tell if they can do that with the third film. Some different script writers with a wide brief might be a start

See thats what really disappointed me about TFA. I was hoping for something fresh and new, but all we got was a soft reboot and the untimely death of a terrific and beloved character. Rogue One was cool because despite most of the characters being completely new it still felt like a SW and captured the feeling of those films. It's great to have the old characters make cameos, but make them do something good, not make them sad dejected old men then kill them ffs.

I thought they could have asked the director of the best ever film in the franchise to make a comeback.
Sadly he died in 2010.....
I don't know what they are doing right now, but Ridley Scott or James Cameron can make a bloody awesome looking film. Might be time to bring out the big guns and leave them alone to make a great film
