I've at least enjoyed all of the new ones, but there's nothing special about them at all. <br /><br />The best Star Wars is still Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars.<br /><br />https://www.comicsbeat.com/genndy-tartakovsky-clone-wars/Dale Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499145456396606662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-79392553678784057532019-12-18T17:54:13.709-05:002019-12-18T17:54:13.709-05:00Everything since the original trilogy - with the e...Everything since the original trilogy - with the exception of Rogue One and to a lesser extent Solo, because they were really part of that same original story line - has lacked any kind of internal consistency.
