I’ve been struggling with whether to rewatch this one. The only time I saw it I got so zoinked on over the counter dissociatives that I basically lived inside the movie for most of the middle of it.
It was so awe-inspiring and terrifying that I don’t want to paper over that experience with a normal watch, but I also don’t remember good chunks of it.
Especially after watching Andor. They had so much time to build up and show things in that format. Watching the movie and seeing a whole subplot that would have been at least half an episode of Andor resolve in like a single scene and end with a fade wipe is jarring.
To be fair it was basically the test bed for Andor. The movie still very much follows the OG Star Wars beats and vibes which makes the fact that literally everyone dies feel kinda weird. There’s a tone breakdown that occurs in the movie that definitely doesn’t exist in the show.
If you were wowed by it the first time, probably leave it as a memory. I’d you thought it was pretty good, you’re fine to rewatch. I just did and can report that it’s firmly pretty good
Star Wars is probably the only franchise that gets a total pass from me for everything. I’ve been watching it my entire life, and I’m down with whatever happens. I suppose it could get ridiculous enough that it would ruin it for me, but so far I’ve accepted everything that’s come along, good or bad. It’s Star Wars, so for me, everything is good by default.
The last time I watched alien was on dissos and it was so unfathomably good I’ve always been afraid to go back and watch it again because I’m sure I’m going to be a little disappointed.

It’s a super mediocre movie, so you’re probably best wirh the memory
Sweet. People like to rave about it but I trust the Hexbear party line more.
It was the best Disney star wars product. So mid stands out amongst bad. Also the trailers was basically all scenes cut from the movie.
Still the 4th best star wars movie but that isn’t really saying much.
The last act, where it’s just fighting and stealing the plans, holds up. The rest drags it down.

There is some cool stuff but on the whole it’s nothing special. Better than the other Disney movies and the prequels but that’s cause it’s just okay

Also Rebel One is mid
Alien is peak still.
Alien is pretty good
