Looking back now, my gateway to GTA was Vice City. I remember spending hours just harassing the police and civilians in general. Simple, good times.
Disney likes to lower themselves harder, aren't they?

they were all pretty good too. I was a little kid so we also had Jar Jar's Journey on the PC it was like one of those animated disney storybooks. the Obi Wan game I didn't play until I was an adult and modded an original xbox but I liked it too. weird control scheme, but fun. Battle for Naboo is actually my favorite Rogue Squadron game. I just replayed it a few months ago. I like the Phantom Menace fine, but the games that came out of it were the best thing about it.

I really enjoyed the tie-in game on PS1. It was surprisingly complex, combining action, platforming and simple item puzzles like in a point and click adventure.

The absolute state of being run by anyone who used to work for Iger's Rat. This is the final step needed to make RT as worthless as IGN, which I think only survives due to the 50 bucks they're sent for each fake review.
Think about it. A company (fraudulently) valued at 150+ billion is getting its shit pushed in by a drunken scotsman and a burned out old cokehead. Also for those wondering, they're thrashing about and copyright claiming any channel that talks about the Acolyte too, stepping up on it after they got busted for artificially bolstering its numbers internally by inventing watch minutes on their platform.
No wonder they're getting sued by Carano and getting a civil rights complaints thrown their way for discrimination.
I can also say the following about the Prequels; I only think Attack of the Clones is genuinely bad. And even then I can actually list more things in that film I liked than I did for most of what Disney had shat out.
Here's a few examples:
1. Obi Wan trying to get the sleazy guy to rethink his life with the mind effect. Nice touch on his character.
2. Obi Wan's investigation of the Assassination Arc is mostly solid. I only think the decision to ask the kid in Yoda's class is clunky. There's visual issues I have with it, but I do like this detective arc.
3. Count Dooku vs his own student's students. One bit in particular shows how damn good the choreography was for the prequels: he forces Obi Wan to fight aggressively by forcing Anakin on the defensive. That one fucking point alone is better than anything Disney did, since it displays his character in a subtle and flashy way. It also reinforces how Anakin and Obi Wan think. It's a touch never seen in the Rat's works.
4. While goofy? The Ben Hur Coliseum battle set piece is neat.
And again; I don't like Attack of the Clones. I think it's an unfocused film whose romance plot fucking poisons it since Lucas cannot people and was drinking too much buddism to cope with his divorce and feelings towards it.
And yet, without it, it also doesn't allow me to get my favorite Prequels media: Tartakovsky's Clone Wars...
And more damningly, it's still a more memorable and better production than 80% of what Disney's made. It bitch smacks Last Jedi and Plan 9. It skull fucks Kenobi and Book of Blorba Flatt. It hakai's Ahsoka into nonexistence. It slaughters Acolyte and leaves its corpse impaled on a spike.

One factor that helps make the prequels memorable was the waves of Star Wars content that came out around the films. The comics, the books, Gennedy’s cartoon, toys, merchandise, LEGO, and the video games.
How many of us played games like Battlefront genuinely excited to fight the droid army as the clone troopers? What about those of us who re-enacted battles using legos? Who tried to reconcile the depiction of Durge as a tentacled creature in Gennedy’s cartoon and his more humanoid appearance in the Dark Horse comics?
I look back on that era with fondness because there was so much Star Wars content. Disney had so little content in comparison. A few comic runs, mostly about the OT. One Lego Star Wars game. Bad books by the likes of Chuck Wendig. No development on any of the characters from the films outside of one book on Phasma. On top of all, a shit cartoon nobody remembers.
Fucking Droids and Ewoks were more memorable than Resistance. The characters in those shows even got referenced in later Star Wars media.

No way... LMAO
They had already removed the half star rating from the algorithm during The Last Jedi before locking down the score (they only did that to TLJ that's why it is forever stuck at 41%), now this?!

Hot take: Rogue One was the only remotely interesting Star Wars movie Disney has made.
That's it.
And it still wasn't as good as any of the original movies. It's just the one that I hated the least.

Nah, that is ice cold, because it is entirely 100% true, I liked the battle scenes, the funny droid character and that was it.

I dunno, I've seen a surprising amount of people say Rogue One was dogshit too.
Though I think that's probably just because everyone forgets Solo even existed.

RLM is the one that hates on Rogue One. When in reality, it was the canary in the coal mine for Disney Wars. Half the movie had to get reshoots? So now no one knows if it was saved or destroyed in the edit. It's certainly lacking in the character department, which I hear Andor also suffers from. All we know for sure is Kennedy probably harmed that movie since she harmed Solo and all the other Disney Wars shows in some way.

Rogue One was OK but I prefer Dark Forces \ A. C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy version of the events.
Soylo was bad but still better than sequel trilogy and vastly inferior to A. C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy.

Honestly, Solo's problem was that it was just so incredibly forgettable. Plus you couldn't really have a character arc for Han since it already happens in the Original Trilogy.
So why they thought making a movie focused on him was a good idea I have no clue, there just wasn't a lot of material in the first place. It would've worked better if he was a side character or something tbh and the story focused on someone else.

Solo's issues for me are the fact the dude doesn't even do a harrison ford impression at all, and when we meet Han in a new hope (pretending the novels don't exist just in a vacuum) he's supposed to be a scumbag piece of shit who becomes a hero. why was he always a hero? and that every single throwaway line about his past he ever had in the OT happen in that movie's narrative. that's retarded.

Tbf actually, now that I think of it they could have shown us WHY Han became a scumbag piece of shit in the first place in the movie.
But Disney Star Wars in general is super adverse to that kind of thing. It's kind of depressing. Tbh it's kind of always been an issue with Star Wars where there's no gray most of the time it's either you're good guy or bad guy.
Like, okay I'm going to go into a bit of semi-autistic sperging here so
One thing that has always bothered me about Star Wars even back before Disney this was inherently a George problem. But Star Wars just makes no sense sometimes. Like, we're told all of the time that love and attachment is a bad thing and it's what leads to Anakin's downfall. The jedi also have it as a policy more or less. Love is not allowed. Yet it was Vader's love for his son that saved the galaxy. So is attachment good or bad George? It can't be both. The fact that George hated that Luke had a wife in the EU said a lot to me tbh. And his excuse was "Jedi aren't supposed to marry." or some bullshit. It just always annoyed me. And now almost any time there's a jedi with a love interest you know it's going to be framed as a bad thing. Every protagonist will also always be super mc good guy. You figure the logical conclusion would be to frame love as something positive. Anakin's problem was that he allowed it to drive him to do horrible things. Can we get a jedi that uses love for something good you know instead of shunning it or something? It would certainly be a change of pace.
I've said this amongst my friends but it's really funny how the best Star Wars media before Disney was anything George had no direct involvement in writing. Like the Knights of the Old Republic games. Like, don't get me wrong George was still better than Disney but even he had some things that really annoyed me at times. They are really adverse to showing grey morality at least up front and it makes a lot of things not too terribly interesting. KOTOR was chock full of moral ambiguity and it was fucking great.

There are large swaths of that film, basically the first 1/2 to 3/4 that are weak-to-bad.
This is still the best effort Disney has done to date.
That was just one way they fucked up. They fucked up at the core because like the Cook of Blobba Fat, their writers had zero understanding of the character and what made him interesting, and the whole movie was another KKK making Qira a "girlboss" and the real main character, and lets not speak of the cucking they did to Lando. Plus their choice of casting was fucking abysmal.
