You know what I'm just realizing there's the new ones with John Boyega, I haven't seen them to know. The ones with Anakin's evolution to Darth Vader seemed okay to me but I remember people hated those too
It's funny...when the prequels dropped people hated them

Them shyts are damn near classics compared to the sequel trilogy

Star Wars fans just want more of the old shyt.
I don't even feel like it should be considered "the old shyt" because there was 30+ years of lore right there ready to be made

And Disney ignored all of that in favor of something that is objectively not as good

Exactly. Look on The Mandalorian for example. shyt is straight ass cheeks and all your hear is about how good it is.

A lot of Star Wars fans just want anything that milks their childhood. Whether it's the OG Star Wars or even the prequels, they want that feel...and most importantly, those characters. It's clear they don't really give a fukk about new characters unless it's someone or something identical to an existing character. Even Mandolorian seems like what people dreamed/hoped/etc Boba Fett would be for decades.

The problem is that Disney is incapable of creating good content with those characters in the center. You're gonna get a generic, shytty story with no real stakes because it's a prequel and you know who lives/dies...and any new characters are immediately viewed as trivial because they can't match up to the OG villains or heroes. I see nerds are mad about some black chick sith lord now...but how do you create a new sith lord with any weight, knowing that this new person clearly either died or disappeared by New Hope since she's not mentioned. So basically Disney is constantly populating the world with trivial characters and plots.

What’s crazy is she’s a very talented producer. I just don’t think franchises and ip are her thing
No ahe isnt.
Speilberg and lucas produced everything she just was a glorified office manager.

George's first wife did more to produce star wars than dumb ass kennedy

Outlined in the Taschen book The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005, George Lucas reveals that his original vision for the sequel trilogy would have focused on Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker’s sister. “The movies are about how Leia,” Lucas stated, adding, “I mean, who else is going to be the leader? – is trying to rebuild the Republic… Luke is trying to restart the Jedi”.

With Leia, played by the late Carrie Fisher, in the driver’s seat of Lucas’ fictional trilogy that never came to light, the filmmaker also outlines that the films would start out “a few years after Return of the Jedi”. Continuing, he adds: “We establish pretty quickly that there’s this underworld, there are these offshoot stormtroopers who started their own planets, and that Luke is trying to restart the Jedi…The Jedi have to grow again from scratch, so Luke has to find two-and-three-year-olds, and train them”.

Though, with both Darth Vader and Darth Sidious out of the picture, the galaxy far, far away was left in quite the peaceful state by the end of Return of the Jedi, hence why Lucas had also planned the return of an iconic villain.

Wielding a double-edged lightsaber once more, the trilogy would have seen the return of Darth Maul, along with his apprentice Darth Talon. As the filmmaker describes, “Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic books, as his apprentice. She was the new Darth Vader and most of the action was with her. So, these were the two main villains of the trilogy”.

Dumping the likes of Rey, Finn, Poe and Kylo Ren, Lucas’ trilogy would have taken several risks and sounds like a difficult concept to pull off, though surely anything’s better than Disney’s limp approach to the franchise. Unfortunately for Lucas and fans of the filmmaker, the director had to step down from the project, wishing to “raise my daughter and enjoy life for a while”.


Jesus fukking Christ we were robbed, and were still being robbed fuuuuck :sadcam:

We could have had a prime Luke fight a fully realized Sith Lord Darth Maul instead of that dumpster fire we got

I'd sacrifice the new LOTR series, the DCEU, and the new GOT series PLUS the actual end of the books to get them to do a proper SW send off and get a do over. This Jedi shyt is still real to me dammit :damn:

Imagibe like avenging the mirder of his masters master after all this time.

Hell they could have sone the emperors clone storyline from the EU.

Hell, the fall of the solo family and Jacen. The rise and death of anakin solo, the yhavin vong invasion, luke and mara jade.

Kathleen kennedy pussed ot all away and they still continue to give us pure unadulterated ahit.
