My god it's awful. It really has to been seen to be believed though.

Catch it while you can:

Actually a brilliant film in that it is so bad it is good. Managed to acquire it many years ago and tbh it should be seen by everyone if only for the introduction to Boba Fett although the sight of Carrie Fisher singing is something to be seen to be believed

Cleaning up the mess my dog made during the night from 'tummy upset' was better than the prequels.

I always feel bad for Ewan McGregor he tried his best but was just surrounded by a truckload of shit.

The original film was fantastic, one of the best films of all time, but it's been downhill ever since hasn't it ?

I managed to sit through the two immediate follow up films, The Empire Strikes Back and 'the other one'.............. but I've never managed more than about 20 minutes of the first Ewan McGregor one. As soon as that stupid horse comes on talking in riddles I think 'life's too short' and turn it off. I haven't attempted to watch any subsequent ones

It's OK The Force Awakens and Rogue One are safe to watch. I'm pretty sure there was a guard around at all times to keep George Lucas well away.

No, The Empire Strikes Back is generally lauded as the best of them all.

The Force Awakens wasn't bad. Rogue One was excellent.

I watched some of it after reading an article about it. It is more-or-less unwatchable though and a long way below so-bad-it's-good status.

There's one scene - the Guardian described it as "Wookie nookie" - which is so disturbing I can't believe it was passed for family viewing.

No I haven't had that pleasure but there's a review of it on YouTube by The Cinema Snob that's hilarious. It's a piss take of a piss take.

yes, only the nerds don't see it.
There is still some fun to be had through ESB & ROTJ, but they aren't as witty.
But it got much worse.
