When mercenaries kidnap both Blue’s daughter and cloned human Maisie, it is up to Owen and Claire to get them back. 2015’s Jurassic World…

That is to say, we won’t be including the animated Clone Wars movie, or the two Ewok movies from the 1980s. Personal feelings definitely enter into construction of this list,…
