Probably controversial opinion for some people: I've only ever seen one Star Wars movie (one of the original ones) and some of parts of other movies and I think the franchise is totally overrated.

The movies really aren't anything incredible. Luke loses practically every fight he has, the dialog and CGI in the prequels were horrendous, and the sequels... yeah. I don't think most of them are bad movies, but for how popular it is? I believe Star Wars is held up quite a bit by how cool a large chunk of it is. Vader looks sick af, and laser swords are badass.

But there are some really good TV shows, games, and, from what I hear, comics as well. I think the movies are probably the weakest part of the Star Wars universe.
