Saw Rise of Skywalker last night - loved it, cried a little, laughed a lot, was mostly thrilled - nice way to end the saga.

What did y'all think?

So......

How are all the nine episodes to be arranged in chronological order with respect to the Saga?

Not in terms of when they were released, but in story order?

I still haven't seen the Last Jedi......   :facepalm:

You didn‘t miss anything. For me, the worst Star Wars movie of all times (yes, that includes Episode 1 with JarJar).

What I have heard from a friend who has seen Episode 9, it is a pretty good movie. They were trying to make everybody happy and not taking too much risk. The New Order is finally not acting like complete idiots and so on. They also seem to have completely ignored The Last Jedi, so you can watch 7 and then 9, skipping 8, and didn‘t miss a thing.

I am still not gonna watch it. Disney has ruined Star Wars for me. At least for a while  :whistle:

I think I got that right. theres also a couple Battlefront games with additional lore, and several comic series, books and other media.

I really enjoyed the 9th one. I think my only real problem was the sudden introduction of that guy in the title crawl. I suspect some of the alternative media alluded to the reveal for a "softer landing", but to those only familiar with the movies it is kind of jarring and confusing. Otherwise it mostly made sense within the lore, the graphics were awesome, and while some story elements aren't where I would have wanted them to go, I am also not the storyteller. Overall I rate it positively.

Rogue One was better. So was Solo.

Solo's problem was no one can play Han but  Harrison Ford. Poor guy must have known going into playing Han it was a losing battle but he did alright.

Mandalorian is 9 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin (Episode IV), Episode VI (Battle of Endor) is 4 ABY, so Mandalorian plays 5 years after Return of the Jedi

Honestly, if you go without the Nostalgia goggles, then I would say Rise of the Skywalkers is the best of the main saga... despite the fact that it has to deal with a lot of smurf created by its predecessor and the worst SW move from the main saga.

To me, only Rogue One is better than Episode IX.
And in case you are wondering, I think Solo is even worse than Episode VIII
