I’m sure they’d **** up rebooting, that’s the problem. OT story should remain the same although I’d get rid of the second Death Star in ROTJ and replace the Ewok’s with the Wookiees, can still have them feature but not as defeating elite Empire troopers.

Prequels need changes, sequels should be completely different, and really everything after that. There’s no point in going back to Episode I and starting again just to tell the same shit they have in the Disneyverse.

If they wanted, they could do the Thrawn trilogy, the new actors won’t be 100 years too old to do it.

You know that's like 8 years old.

When do you reckon we’ll get a trailer for Skeleton Crew?

 

[Coolangatta]

And when do you reckon we're getting a Tony Gilroy Knights of the Old Republic series?

Season 1-2 covering the first game, season 3-4 covering the second game, season 5 and maybe 6 covering what Avellone was going to do after KotOR II.

Yep and he was proven correct

What Disney needs to do now is take a break from Star Wars for a good few years the same thing happening with the MCU they milked Star Wars and Marvel bone dry where they have nothing left.

What are peoples thoughts on Dave Filoni becoming CCO of Lucas Film?

Mandalorian s1 early was entertaining but novelty fell off, haven't been motivated to watch season 2.

Book of Boba ??

Ahoska inconsistent, would only rate 2 or 3 odd episodes. But overall meh

Picked the daughter up from preschool yesterday and the kids were running around with Lego sticks being Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. 4 year olds. 45 year old movie. So good.

New Star Wars was so trash lol. The generation it should be appealing to give no shits. I wouldn't surprised if down the track they aren't considered worse than prequels.

Down the track?

 

[edgie]

Down the track?

Some fans talk about the prequels rehabilitation/meme explosion and the same will happen to sequels, but I don't think so. I don't believe it will.

How do you know which movies they got introduced to Star Wars through? Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are the overarching hero and villain through the movies, that doesn't mean they didn't get exposed to the sequels first or the prequels.

There's also plenty of girls that dress up as Rey at Star Wars fan events, Halloween etc, just because the films don't resonate with you, doesn't mean they don't resonate with others.

The prequels are still not good movies, hardcore fans may feel like additional material fleshed out storylines, and young people that grew up with them may love them, but critics haven't changed their minds and I doubt the average viewer that hated them growing up suddenly loves them. The sequels have the advantage of having two very good films, critically praised, that someone entering the universe through them could very well enjoy. It does fail to stick the landing though.

They don't have any soul though. They're corporate paint by numbers films, even Rian Johnson's attempt. They're soulless and empty husks that won't age well no matter how much some will them to.

These kids don't care what the critics praised.

Kids will feel that. Add to that there's been almost zero supporting media. The prequels had loads of it and much of it was well received by fans. The sequels, a couple books then nothing. No TV, no games. There's no wonder about them, no fun. Well maybe if you are privileged to go to the Disneyland Star Wars thing that might be cool for a sequel era thing, but that isn't everyone.

The OT has heart and quality and iconic original characters and vehicles. The PT has silly wild fun that wasn't repeated, more characters and original designs, lots of games and tv.

The ST is a wasteland.

The sequels are unmitigated, forgettable dross. That are so irrelevant, Disney is basically shying away from them now.

I honestly can’t even remember the last time I had a thought about something from the ST, let alone an urge to rewatch.

The third one definitely doesn't, I think the first and second do, albeit the first's comes a lot from loving nostalgia.

It's no secret why, it's because they are still filling out the gaps in film and TV. Authors aren't allowed to play as much in timelines that film and TV are still operating in. Hell, that's why the created the High Republic, to give the books some freedom to play. That said, there's been a similar number of post ROTJ books as there have been prequel books in the Disney era.

I mean, you know they are making a Rey movie, yeah?

 

[edgie]

I actually think TROS has the most heart and spirit of the ST.

It's just a really bad movie in every other way.

TLJ you could tell the actors didn't believe in it.

TFA was too unoriginal.

TROS had the mains actually spending time together and bonding.

The only non-High Republic books on the horizon are multiple prequel era books.

Lol let's see.

 

[edgie]

Even if they do make a good Rey movie, it may not count as a sequel era. Could be post sequel. It won't change the binfire of 7-8-9.

We know it won't have Fin or Poe.
