Star Wars Rankings: Does It Even Matter?
21 May
Summary
- The Mandalorian and Grogu scores 61% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Star Wars films show vast differences in critic scores.
- Subjectivity of Star Wars rankings is a key point.
Recent reviews for "The Mandalorian and Grogu" have placed its critic score at 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, positioning it among the lowest-rated films in the Star Wars franchise. This surprising ranking has prompted a re-evaluation of how critic scores reflect the beloved space opera.
Examining the full spectrum of Star Wars movie scores reveals significant variations. While "A New Hope" leads with 94%, and "The Force Awakens" and "The Empire Strikes Back" follow closely with 93%, the franchise also includes films like "The Rise of Skywalker" at 51% and "The Clone Wars" at a mere 18%.
The article contends that the subjective nature of Star Wars fandom means critic aggregate scores should not be definitive. Personal appreciation for films like "The Phantom Menace," despite its lower ranking, or dissatisfaction with "The Force Awakens" for its perceived lack of originality, underscore this point.
Ultimately, the author suggests that focusing on critic scores detracts from the individual experience of watching "The Mandalorian and Grogu." The film is currently in theaters, inviting fans to form their own opinions.
