Here's my short Star Wars ranking. Let's start at the back and work to the front:

100. Attack of the Clones
99. Ewoks (Cartoon)
98. Resistance - S1
97. Obi-Wan Kenobi
96. Visions - The Bandits of Golak
95. The Clone Wars (film)
94. Revenge of the Sith
93. The Clone Wars - S1
Your Star Wars rankings are weak. Let me show you how a true otaku does things.
These have huge podracer energy [positive]

There is a LOT in Swiss Family Robinson.

The funniest thing about my personal experience of Star Wars is that, with full honesty, one of the reasons I like The Rise of Skywalker so much is how I think it directly pays off so many of the ideas and plot points in The Last Jedi.

I live on a little island no man may ever visit.

...oh, @ing someone on here doesn't... y'all can see the... oh. hm. well. i suppose i must live honestly.

What I like about it is that I don't think Peter Murphy is a vampire but I do think if you were an actual vampire in the late 80s and you saw this video, it became your whole personality.

@piyotycho.bsky.social Hey Piyotycho-san! I was going through some old saved images and found this drawing. Do you remember who the character is that's next to Hornpot? I tried to find the image in your Twitter archive but wasn't able to locate it for more context. No worries if you can't remember!

@minovskyarticle.bsky.social I watched this music video the other day and when the guy suddenly has a hawk the thought hit me hard: "I wonder how Minovsky is doing?"

Anyway.

My kids were watching it the other day and by god, it's just such a good hang. And Allison Brie goes HARD in that dub!

4965 here, which I believe the DSM 5 classifies as a disease.

(I'd be remiss not to call out that the space pirates in this feel very patterend off of the pirates from Swiss Family Robinson, a film that Lucas also lifted the tree-cities and traps of the Ewoks from. And that movie, of course, directed by:

Ken Annakin!)

Oh, as a child I loved Star Wars novels. Read the whole line until the New Jedi Order stuff. But now I simply can't go back, because again, it's an aesthetic experience I'm coming to Star Wars for, and the books are almost wholly divorced from that.

The painted covers on the old Bantam books though

A great way to celebrate my *checks list* 73rd favorite Star Wars thing, just ahead of the Muppet Star Wars episode but just behind the entirety of Rebels Season 2.

The way this movie is almost a dry run at Willow is so wild!
It’s the 40th anniversary of Ewoks The Battle for Endor & we’re celebrating by inviting over some of our favorite people, @patrickcotnoir.bsky.social from The George Lucas Talk Show & the wonderful @staxrebo.bsky.social talking all about this wonderful dark chapter in the Ewok saga! Links ⬇️

Like if I ranked these films as concepts on paper they'd go much higher. Its the practice of them that's so utterly disagreeable to my personal sensibilities.

And vice-versa the Sequels, I know a lot of folks bounce off of those, but fuck me, red arm on C-3PO? Give it to me. Babu Frik? Omnomnom.
November 25, 2025 at 4:39 PM
I don't begrudge anyone loving the Prequels, they just don't give Star Wars to me in a way that nourishes the part of my heart that gets nourished by the Star Wars that clicks with me.

I think my ultimate position is that they're much more enjoyable to talk about than to directly experience?
November 25, 2025 at 4:39 PM
My joke answer is that good Star Wars has jackets and bad Star Wars has robes, but I think the bit of truth in there is that I have particular aesthetic needs in terms of appearance, pacing, and characterization that the Prequels are just utterly uninterested in fulfilling for me. And that's fine!
November 25, 2025 at 4:39 PM
I popped it off to make a clean 100; it was above "The Pit" and below Star Wars Hunters, because its an enjoyable mess, yet somehow still doesn't rise to the level of "Two Jawas in a trenchcoat" silliness.

Which is to say, if I follow you or unfollow you or don't follow you back in the next month or so, it's absolutely nothing personal; I'm just taking my time and figuring out the right balance in my social feed after a few years of having the tap completely shut off.
November 25, 2025 at 3:11 PM
Think I'm ready to start following folks on social media again. A while ago, I stopped following folks to control the amount of bad news that was coming into my perception. I think I'm in a better emotional place to deal with that, and I really want to start making friends online again. So, slowly?
November 25, 2025 at 3:10 PM
I don't know! I don't think even JJ Abrams likes TROS as much as I do, it's a real anomaly. I've spent many hour in solemn contemplation and deep soul searching; part of it is the high puppet content, but that's all I can figure so far. It's a mystery to be sure! I wouldn't recommend this position!
November 25, 2025 at 2:55 PM
Ronto wraps are INCREDIBLY good.
November 25, 2025 at 2:20 PM
I'm not lying when I said this is the short list; my long list starts with

1. Luke, staring at the binary sunset as the music swells
2. Luke's yellow jacket
3. Yoda, as performed by Frank Oz as a puppet
4. The episode Jedi Knight from Rebels S4
5. Babu Frik

and continues in such fashion for miles

I should have put Lop and Ocho over Empire but I didn't want to be controversial with my picks.
14. Andor - S2
13. Visions - Screecher's Reach
12. The Force Awakens
11. Visions - Yuko's Treasure
10. Rebels - S3
9. Visions - Aau's Song
8. Skeleton Crew
7. Visions - Lop and Ochō
6. Andor - S1
5. The Empire Strikes Back
4. Return of the Jedi
3. The Rise of Skywalker
2. Rebels - S4
1. Star Wars
