Streaming makes this possible. I know DVD collections are fun, my son is into collecting DVDs. I don't want clutter, and I like online access.
There are 9 films in the cannon and "anthology films" Rogue One and Solo to make 11.
Rogue One is a pretty good movie. I love the monk who keeps saying I'm one with the force, the force is with me. He plays the blind samurai. The force is the Tao and Jedi are Samurai. Rogue One is the essence of the Star Wars narrative, without the Skywalkers. It was set parallel to the destruction of the death star.
Solo is about class war, and if movie could stoke class awareness, we'd have had a revolution already. Fun plot with reversals and switchbacks, interesting characters with funny lines. I do think they are getting better and better at these films.
I cried on episode 9, the Rise of Skywalker, three times. When Ben's father reappears when he is done with the Sith side. When they hug at the end, they have collectively come together to defeat the Empire. And when Rey chooses her family to be Skywalker. I choose the good side too. I am a Skywalker.
One Two and Three were visually amazing, but somehow weird and complicated. I love Natalie Portman, not because of these films, but in general, but watching her more and more I lose my infatuation with her. I still love her mind, she's a reading vegan, lives in many countries. I hope she has found love, and fulfilment through raising her children. I wish her well.
I thought Empire Strikes Back wasn't as bad as I remember. The first three stand up for me, but I can also see how antiquated they are. I mean 1977 is 44 years ago.
One problem binging the 11 movies and new Star Wars Visions is that there is a lot of pew pew die. It's not a binge kind of thing, too much action. If you're under stimulated and need the stimulation you can watch one movie.
I'm looking forward to the next movies or shows. Boba Fett starts streaming the 29th, today is 24th. So that's 5 days, one episode a week, for 7 weeks.
