    Whichever the ones were with Jar Jar Binks.

    Definitely the prequels, even though I really enjoyed Episode 3.

    Clearly prequels for me. The first one in particular was one of the worst movies of the last 20 years in my opinion, and the second was only marginally better. Even the third was barely mediocre. And I like my Long Island home girl Natalie Portman, too.

    Sequels were worse for me.

    Prequels were a good story executed really poorly, while the Sequels have been a really poor story executed well.

    It’s as if you’ve never seen The Happening.

    I'll take your word for it. And of course I wasn't really one of the worst movies of the last 20 years, but I was grading on a curve - given what they spent on it, given what they were building on, and given how long it took to finally happen, it was a disappointment of historic proportions.

    And I will say that Jar Jar was one of the worst movie characters of the last 20 years, and that's not grading on a curve. Meesa think yousa not so disagree, betcha betcha?

    I consider myself a fan of Star Wars, but I haven't even seen 8 yet, and didn't particularly want to see 7, but someone let me borrow the DVD. Did not like it. That said, I didn't like the prequels either, but they came out at the time of my life when I was more easily amused.

    Yep that was one of the worst movies I had ever seen, and that's not just in comparison to the other Star Wars movies. They should have ignored the prequels and just made more sequels. The only thing they really needed was a side movie, to explain the story of Anakin becoming Vader. All that other stuff was fluff.

    I didn't like Episode 7 either, I thought it was basically a recycled Episode 4, but there is no excuse for how bad #1 was.

    Jar Jar Binks was the worst most idiotic character I've ever seen in a movie.

    And the shame of it is, I REALLY liked Darth Maul and I cannot watch that movie again to see him because of Binks.

    I know I'm going to be in the minority here, but I thought episode 3 was on par with the original trilogy.

    Episode 7 was pretty good as well.

    1, 2, and 8 are all almost unwatchable for me.

    Of the prequels 3 is the best, I really liked 7 too and had hopes for 8. Needless to say I haven’t watched 8 since I saw it in the theater.

    I was at the bar before going to see it in theatre, and accidentally got high as well, so the first hour of the movie, I was not in movie mode, and after that I had a hard time staying awake, due to multiple reasons lol.

    Tried watching it a few times at home, and always get so bored that I turn it off.

    I think Kylo Ren is cool. It's nice having a whiny punk bitch as your main villain!

    Episode 7 gave us this magical moment from Han ̶D̶a̶r̶n̶o̶l̶d̶ Solo. So the sequels can never be the worst.

    I barely remember this moment because Ep 7 was such a rough watch.
