Ruined a GOAT Franchise..... :snoop:

George shoulda sold to Universal, WB, Paramount or something :snoop:

I don't know man.. even if the property was sold to some other studio other than Disney they would still need the right people in place. Disney let's Pixar cook. Disney has Feige overlooking Marvel. They have the right people in place there.

With Star Wars they never put the right people in place and these huge franchises like this need someone a little smarter than Kathleen Kennedy. Bob Iger deserves blame too.

This is ultimately the problem they should've put Dave Filoni in a Fiege like role he was Lucas's protege and has a real understanding of what makes Star Wars works with Clone Wars and Rebels. He's just now getting his shot in live action with The Mandalorian.

I really dont get the love for Force Awakens. It was completely uninspired, it was a clone of the OG films but not as well done, it introduced all the shytty new characters we're now stuck with, it killed off Han in the lamest way possible.

The Last Jedi sucked balls as well but it at least TRIED to give us new planets and characters and storylines. (Not defending it at all)

The way I took Leia hugging Rey instead of Chewy was because she already hugged him earlier in the movie. And while it would make sense for her to comfort him n vice versa, Rey was new and had to be going thru shyt. Leia wanted her to know everything was going to comfort her. She probably knows what it feels like by seeing Luke go thru it before and herself honestly. Han in his brief time was a father figure to her unlike any she ever had before. It makes sense to me honestly. But I understand the gripe. I do wish we seen Luke mourning Han on screen even tho it was a deleted scene.

Very long piece in Vanity Fair, cool read though
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, The Ultimate Preview

Some snippets:

-Rise of Skywalker takes places about 1 year after TLJ.

-Rey's training is "almost complete".

-Knights of Ren confirmed

-J.J is saying he's taking a different approach than TFA. He's less about doing what he felt Star Wars should be to "doing what feels right" because it does, not because it adheres to something.

-Leia's scenes were done adapting the deleted scenes they had of her from TFA. They basically found new ways and contexts to put her dialogues and scenes.

-At least two new planets in Pasaana (desert planet, probably were we see Rey in the teaser) and Kijimi, a "snow dusted" planet.


-New First Order character in Allegiant General Pryde. They are also saying they will delve, at least a little, on the First Order origins, I guess that's where Pryde's character is for, to give that backstory.


-Keri Russell's character is called Zorri Bliss. "A masked scoundrel".

-Rey and Kylo's "bond" runs even deeper than previously revelaed

-Seems like Finn will be in charge of an Endor-like battle. This picture is about him "leading the charge against the mechanized forces of the First Order".

Problem with the new movies is they were just pawning the shyt off to people who wanted to write their own movie using star wars than writing a good star wars trilogy. But the prequel was bashed a lot before this new trilogy so I don't know why y'all acting like everything was cool before now.

I don't think anyone saw the lack of vision from Lucasfilm and Kathleen Kennedy coming. I think we all assumed they weren't naive/dumb enough to approach a trilogy sequel as big as Star Wars literally without any plan in sight and they were just gonna let directors write their own take and work it on the fly.

My guess is a lot of people felt this trilogy was a "fresh start" so to speak. Given how Lucas couldn't translate some interesting concepts into good movies in the prequels - well, Revenge is pretty good imo -, fans were eager to watch a new chapter with the characters and story they grew up loving with new people at the helm. The fact Disney made a home run with the MCU had to get people excited too, the studio knew how to do right with big franchises.

I think years from now, everyone will be even more :mindblown: and :wtf: at how Lucasfilm handled this trilogy. It's legit unbelievable they didn't map anything out without any story or plan that would hold the movies together.

Knights of Ren look great.... hopefully they have a role and aren’t some Boba Fett/Captain Phasma type characters that really don’t do shyt in the films.

Kinda hard giving them that big of a role considering this movie is a big ending for the saga. They'll get their shine -no way J.J repeats the Phasma fiasco - but it's kinda impossible not rush their story at this point.

I have more faith in JJ than I would a lot of other people but he's not usually the guy that finishes the job he's usually the guy that sets everything in place, he has to do some HEAVY lifting in this third movie because he almost has to disregard a 2nd movie and then somehow wrap a trilogy up all at the same time..

Yeah the new characters look cool, I expected as much from JJ.

who is the chick with Finn?
