The phantom menace almost hits that so bad it’s good area of cinema for me. The Chinese and Jewish aliens are mind bogglingly racist, and then you throw in jar jar binks and Jedi bacteria hahah. I must say that I enjoyed the prequel movies more than the newer trilogy. The writing for those was so terrible, and there was an insane amount of cringe moments.
I guess my beef with the mandalorian comes down to the writing as well. It seemed like it was always trying way too hard. Something about watching Carl weathers side step Point blank laser fire from an elite stormtrooper unit just didn’t work for me. I did really like the first few episodes though, and must admit that it is the best star wars medium in a long time. Im sure if I was 10, I would be all about that shit.
