How does Star Wars have no movies in the pipeline Disney really did a number on that franchise.

Kathleen Kennedy man, plain and simple.

Good riddance..she made it Woke Wars, all the men were dumb and brutish, Finn turned into a fetch and step it, Rose Tico wasn't defended at all from management, and the only character development went to a 100lb white girl named Daisey Ridley....

Good now we have less things to get in the way of Rian Johnsons trilogy

Didn't say that, I dislike white women being at the forefront at the expense of developing Black characters....

Disney execs were also toying with the idea of making Finn and Poe lovers...but diversity right???

They saw the reaction from Mando where they just acquiesced to the OG fandom. They know they can just show a scene of Chewbacca having avocado toast at brunch and nikkas will lose their proverbial shyt. Why think out of the box when that's the case?

Its wild how Rogue One was able to walk the line of being steeped in nostalgia and providing some fan service while also being a departure from what we consider the Star Wars formula to be, and be successful at the box office yet no one at Disney saw fit to give other directors a shot at making something outside the standard SW movie formula.

Aint he the one who fukked up GoT?

Edit - Nope, thanks.

Good, im glad his shyt got canceled.

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were the Game of Thrones showrunners. They had a deal to make Star Wars movies that got dropped too though.

Damon Lindelof made Lost, The Watchmen TV series and The Leftovers.

Oh ok, Watchmen was good. Didnt rock with The Leftovers though.

Rogue One lucked out. Remember they had to re-shoot & re-cut the film multiple times. Forest Whitaker in the original trailer doesn't have the same look in the finished film. Vader scenes were changed, etc

Still would like to see the original cut of Rogue that Disney didn't like for looking like a 'war film'

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Probably wasn't willing to make a movie loaded with fan service, built on a foundation of nostalgiaI watched Watchmen; Lindelof has proven he can take a proven property and expand upon it originally.

Hate the fact that the series is called Star Wars but only takes place over like 40 years with the same 12 characters and 2 families.

Like can we get back to the expanded universe side of things? Set it in the past, set it in the far future, theres a lot of stuff you can do outside of the sky walkers

Star Wars is about merchandis. But look what sells. It’s aesthetics.

People like Boba Fett so we have a slight variation in Mando.
Did any of the prequel or sequel vehicles catch on like Tie Fighters or X wings?
How many variations of Storm Troopers have we gotten?


Lightsabers are the only thing they have consistently and even those have gotten ridiculously complicated(spinning, hilt blades)

They are stuck unless they want to take some risk which isn’t why Disney bought Star Wars.
