Didn't we get beat by the Bills with Peterman as the QB in a blizzard? If I recall the Refs didn't help us much. I think Gore ran for a 100 yds that game.

McCoy was the one who beat us. And their line.

A New Hope and Return of the Jedi were fantastic.

Empire Strikes Back and Prequels were good (yes, I liked the prequels with the exception of Darth Binks).

Rogue one was fantastic as well.

Solo, Force Awakens were the worst of the series.....until....

The Last Jedi blew huge chunks and pretty much turned me off of the whole series. Not a single character was protrayed how you wanted them to be:

- Luke was an emo teenager who was so scared of the Force in others that he pretty much failed in his one duty which was to continue the Jedi as a force of good in the universe.

- Leia was upstarted by both a punk pilot who was wrong and a purple haired "who dat?" general with a piss poor battle plan.

- Kylo Ren was, again, an emo teenager who has zero menace or malice in his character. Who is honestly afraid of Kylo Ren?

- Supreme Leader Snoke is onscreen for 1.5 milliseconds before dying and does nothing. Serious disappointment there.

- The purpose of any part with Finn in it? Seriously, how did any of his actions forward the story?

Terrible plot line. Terrible "action." Even the "fight" between Kylo & Ray vs Snokes guards was boring and predictable. Heck, the fight in Force Awakens outside Maas' bar is one of the best in the series but there was nothing even approaching it in Last Jedi.

In the end, I identified with about every character in Rogue One. It was a brillant example of bringing new characters into the Star Wars universe, giving them believable back stories and putting them in situations where you actually cared about their success, failure or survival. I actually teared up when Tarkin gave the command to fire the Death Star and destroy the data repository killing our heros. Rogue One might have been the single best movie of the entire series (obviously, I love the original trilogy because....it was the original but Rouge One was fantastic).

However, The Last Jedi has made me uncertain if I will even go to see #9. Honestly, I was that disappointed with their treatment of Luke and Leia and their inability to make any of the other characters gripping. I just don't care what happens to Finn or Ray or Poe or Kylo. Just don't care.

Looking forward so much more to the continuation of the MCU and World of Wizardy (Harry Potter) than Star Wars.

Walk Worthy,

Original trilogy is the best.

I've liked all of the newest Star Wars. I had low expectations. I don't care that the plot isn't the best. It has the right feel. It mostly feels like original Star Wars. I haven't seen Solo yet.

The prequels were all garbage.

Derek Anderson is going to start at qb for the Bills. I look for him to resurrect his career in grand fashion on Sunday.

Saw the original Star Wars when it came out and nothing since....no interest in an imaginary universe. The real world is much more interesting to me.
