TYRONE GA!
Only thing that gives me any hope is the sheer amount of already available old republic stories. Hell, they could damn near just copy KOTOR video game and it would be good.
The same leadership that made the post ROTJ books non cannon are gonna make the old republic stories in circulation canon???

How was Matrix Revolutions bad?:mjtf:
It's bad because there's hardly much Matrix action in the movie it was too focused on Zion which was typically the worst part of the series. It's bad because it doesn't really have an ending it was a setup for a failed MMO that didn't last that long before they shut it down. It's bad because they're clearly retconning the main characters they killed off in it like Neo and Trinity to bring them back for Matrix 4.

Revolutions is so bad it drug Reloaded down with it because it was supposed to be Reloaded's payoff. Reloaded is a good movie at least to me. It had better action than even the original and has one of the better strings of set pieces in film history with the great hall fight through the freeway chase.

But back to the subject:
This Star Wars trilogy exist solely as a cash grab. There's no creative spark for it. Even worse is Disney destroying better EU stuff that was canon for these movies which almost seem like bad fan fiction given the green light to be canon.

I'm not even against their whole girl power kick of making a woman a Jedi. All I'm saying is why couldn't Finn be a Jedi too? Why was he used to sell the movie carrying a light saber only to be tossed aside and become useless. He got downgraded so hard too. Rey isn't even a real character to me. I've seen two movies and I can't even describe her personality because she doesn't really have one. If they were going to make a female Jedi couldn't they have at least made her interesting and not some bland self insert character? The only one of the new 3 that's even remotely decent is Poe and he probably has the smallest role and presence.

It makes all the previous films pointless, what was the point of Anakin or Luke if they didn’t even really end the regime of Sheev? The whole chosen one thing becomes irrelevant, this whole trilogy has shat all over Lucas legacy and what he created. Also watch how they ignore that hyperspace kamakaze move in this movie despite it been approved by the c*nts that run Lucas film. Now they will just pretend it never happened, how anyone can back this shyt is beyond me.

Since JJ had to bring back Sidious to save this thing, I will be highly pissed if Anakin doesn't come back as well to have a part in ending him like he was supposed to. He's nowhere to be seen from the disappointing leaks, but I'll wait and see the finished product. And they did massive reshoots on this thing recently, so I'm not writing this story off as a fail just yet. Abrams would get even more points if he brought Ahsoka out as well (who would only be 70-80 years old as a species that lives who knows how long), but I know that's a 1:100,000,000 long shot.

easter egg hunters did spot The Ghost from Rebels, but i'm certain it's nothing more than that
