To quote Luke skywalker everything you just said was completely wrong, it’s not that no one wants a a Rey movie because people like me do like the character I would like to see a continuation of the story. The problem is people with no imagination put their five cents in and pervert the course of the story and I’m looking at Kathleen Kennedy and her team of DEI Nazis. They ruin everything if people were given the creative freedom to look at the template that George Lucas set up and continue that into more Star Wars. We would all be happy mostly there’s always gonna be a group of people that sit there. Listen to someone tell a story and get grumpy because the story didn’t go the way they wanted you can take yourself entitlement shove it up your arse most of us are a good audience most of us just want to be immersed in the galaxy far far away. We’ve grown up with and take us back to being that kid again. Wide eyed with wonder and completely entertained?
Best theory, or in my opinion New Hope, that i've seen so far is that the entire sequel trilogy with Marey Sue is a horrible force vision Luke has in his temple as he meditates on his students and such basically happening a few days before he would supposedly go down to kill ben when he became fearful of what would possibly happen. basically making the sequel trilogy not really happen though have an impact on the SW universe. also, it does allow the 'cloning' or revival of palpatine as happened in comics or opens up for the yuuzhan vong invasion
Yeah. I can already hear its defenders saying "WeLl YoU jUsT hAtE eVeRyThInG wItH a LiBeRaL bIaS!!!" No, we're tired of bait and switch that promises a new story and shows nostalgia, but quickly becomes identitarian political messaging for a mythical unicorn of a "modern" audience. Exactly the one thing the producers are keen on shoving down our throats. The skill of telling a story without letting the color of experience and bias overpower it seems to be lost on the producers at LF...but then again they're activists who seem to not be able to do anything else right. They never create, they only parasite existing IPs and ruin them.
You can't have Disney's woke freak show anywhere near starwars no Disney no park's no movies no merchandise no products no nothing not my kids not my family we don't want or need any woke

There were probably hundreds of little girls who saw a bit of that show and liked it. At least there's that. And that's all Disney wanted. So what if it lost unimaginable amounts of money and turned loyal SW fans from the property. Eventually, those little girls might even pay homage to starwars in their OF careers.

Modern Star Wars is not stuck in the past. The reality is fans want good stories involving the Skywalker family. Instead we got woke disjointed story telling by writers that just copied story elements from the first three movies. Making the force female was a disaster on so many levels. Lucas film took the last three movies and devastated the fan base with woke writing and very poor story telling. The fan base is beyond tired of woke Disney + shows with poor writing and over powered characters. Disney has a gold mind in its hands with the greatest SYFY series in history but until they get rid of woke ideology, the force is female, and poor storytelling, Star Wars will continue to lose money. Disney please make Star Wars again not whatever Ray is.
And yet there are people who enjoy them or will defend the sequels. I’m just like; “Buddy, you can’t be serious. Like look me in the eyes and you tell me the sequels are better than the Original or Prequel trilogy.”
I disagree entirely that Disney's problem is them trying to bottle nostalgia and sell it. Their issue is trying to repurpose nostalgia. The only moderate success they've had is by trying to capture that formula. The issue is they'll throw Luke into their new stuff and essentially say "hey, look, Luke is here! So that must mean this is good!" But it's not. It's still heartless trash. They want to use the past because that's the only thing that sells. But they would kill it if they could. Kylo said it himself.
The only way to save Star Wars is that everything besides the first 6 movies along with the clone wars stuff and everything from Dave Filoni needs to be permanently erased. No one cares about Rey.
Likely Rey is sticking around regardless actually, the next planned movie will be her training her apprentice for the next generation essentially she's the new Luke in the current timeline

So he buys it and gets right to work making a new trilogy and puts Star Wars back on top then 10 years from now at the premier of the third film his then 90 year old body gives out. Yknow what happens? Disney or somebody buys it because they have this really great idea to rewrite them and "make them better" by putting "a chick in it and make her lame and gay."
I would like that, but it won’t happen. When I binge Star Wars, I just stop at episode 6. I don’t mind watching clone wars, bad batch, but I won’t watch the last 3 films again. The first of the sequels had potential, but seems they didn’t have a clue what they were doing with the trilogy. Maybe cause Kennedy had too much input in the film’s creativity. She is a producer, not a writer or director.
Better in Lucas hands yes I agree but I wouldn't even trust Lucas to bring Star Wars back. Movies like the Empire Strikes back had others that brought the movie to life and lets not forget he is getting a bit screwy in his older years making edits like the Han Shot First scene which never ever needed an edit and also takes away from Han's roguelike life. I mean if you want to add a few critters to make Mos Eisley seem more alive that is one thing but to change things to mess with the character that people saw on the big screen in their youth is another.
Star Wars has failed because its moved away from the characters & situations that made it great in the first place. Are Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman irrelevant today because they are old? NO! Lucasfilms pig headed stubborness in moving away from Luke Skywalker and the EU condemned them to failure. They wanted to replace established male heros with new "Girlboss" strong women leads, which didn't connect with the audience due to the bad writing behind them. When I read that "Rey is Lucasfilms only valuable character" I LAUGHED.
Literally the whole cast of the sequel trilogy stated they will never do another star wars movie because of all the rewrites and reshoots and the destruction of the original story. That shooting the sequel trilogy was the worst experience they ever had.

Love that excerpt from that interview with GL & KK, after George’s monologue, shooting a knowing look at at her and George is right of course, and she KNEW what he was talking about. Really made me chuckle.
It’s not about nostalgia it’s about respect for a storyline and sticking with it, not throwing away beloved characters & replacing them with your political view. It’s like came back and started the Jedi Academy I guarantee would make more money than any film that has been made Kathleen Kennedy, Respect the rules and the storyline.
Litterally no one cares about Rey. Her growth was weak, her character boring, Finn had better growth and he got sidelined like trash, as his actor said.
No. I will not be watching the Rey movie. I avoid anything Disney is involved in no matter how popular it becomes simply because i know Disney has an underlining agenda that i philosophically am opposed to.
Kathleen Kennedy really said that "these are not like the Harry potter books where you already have a template" "these come out of George's head" That right there proves Kathleen has no idea what she's talking about and did no research on star wars at all. There are SO MANY STAR WARS BOOKS WRITTEN. Just pick one and roll with it!!!!
I love how we as the Fandom have been saying this shizz for 7 years! The Legends canon could have easily replaced the last 10 years, and yet, remember at Disney, there is no knowledge to dive into outside of the 6 original movies and Clone Wars! And yet, the Acolyte says there is no good or evil, just power!
Look the line ends with Disney's CEO, at some point he needs to get off is behind and do his job and kick Kennedy to the curb! He hasn't done anything because he agrees with the stupid woke agenda! I'm not a racist or sexist, but at some point poeple need to realize that they aren't entitled to change the lore of a story. They want woke movies and heros for their television, they can make new stories with new heros! Stop screwing with already established fan bases! Make your own stuff and those who want to watch it will be able to! It's not rocket science!
Disney needs to crank out more DEI and Woke movies/ shows. They need to lean into their ‘message’ and push it harder. Then after they completely tank Star Wars, George Lucas can buy it back at a fraction of the cost and return Star Wars to its former glory.
Lucas, "You run your life in a very selfish way and think you're doing good but you're not." is so astoundingly calling out the problem with both Iger and Kennedy. They care more about their ideology and put it above all else even to the point of losing billions at this point because they think they're doing things for the greater good but are not.
i mean if they really want star wars to be a success, all they had to do was bring the old republic lore to the front and center, but unfortunately, disney has uncanonized all of that and its extremely doubtful that any of it would come to mainstream. but if they would have just used old republic lore, they could have a hundred new stories that they could make into tv shows or movies, but again, they didn't go that route.
"You're being asked to create the new New Testament." There's your problem. The stories already exist in books. Several authors have already shown what happened pre episode 4 and post episode 6. Many Star Wars fans can tell you ALL about them! They're canon. Stop making non-canon stuff. But also in this, you have an entire galaxy. You don't need to tether anything to anything. A force user does some stuff on another planet we haven't heard of yet with characters we don't know while getting glimpses of what's happening during the time of 4-6? Easy peasy. It's not like a galaxy is going to septillions of beings in it or anything...
Huge SW fan. Didn't finish the second Rey movie, didn't bother watching the 3rd. I've seen the first 6 movies dozens of times. We cannot blame everything on Putin.
Star Wars is the Original trilogy, Prequels, a few good shows, lots of E.U. with books and comics and that is ALL it is. I think it's dead but if Disney wants to go bankrupt so be it.
I would have made her either the granddaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi, or even the daughter of Luke Skywalker, plus maybe they should’ve made her Leia and Han Solo’s daughter.
Nah Disney always sucked it’s just more visible since they began buying up other cinematic creative properties. When it wasn’t “woke” disney was taking classic folk tales putting them in the mill and churning out bland vanilla princesses. Marvel movies were only entertaining until their planned projects ran out and Disney fully took over. Disney always sucked
Recycle the feelings of the past? They aren't even doing that. Instead they are pushing the fans away with woke feminist messaging in which the female lead is great at everything without character development and all the men including Luke Skywalker are now bumbling idiots.
6:58 for a moment Kathleen forgot he was talking about the theme of the films and thought he was talking about her. Lol her face was saying, “shit…that sounds like me.”
This is RIDICULOUS!! HAS NOTHING to do with "Nostalgia"! The ONLY reason why fans are STILL INFURIATED is because we NEVER got the SEQUELS to the OT!! Disney is only episode 7, 8 and 9 are NOTHING of the sort. They were EPILOGUES because Luke, Leia, Han etc were NOT the focus of the so called sequels! Instead tarded Disney chose to INTRODUCE new characters for NO REASON AT ALL and relegate the characters that are the MAIN FOCUS of a SEQUEL to background supporting characters!! THIS is why so many fans are DISGUSTED by what they did and why we were Sooooo ECSTATIC over seeing a young powerful Luke show up in His Red 5 X Wing and DESTROY the dark Trooper platoon, rescue the Mandolorian and other bounty hunters, save Grogu and see R2D2 in what is undoubtedly the MOST POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL SCENE in All of Star Wars making even Adult Men, myself included well up into tears
_"We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. ... In a way, we were trying to make these films for George, not for ourselves."_ - *_NOT_* Kathleen Kennedy
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, you’ve got a perfect opportunity. The Ninth Jedi from visions was a fantastic starting point. Hire that studio to make an entire multi-season series, and then take the time to make good live action stories rather than rushing out live action garbage
There was also the expanded universe books, 📕 Come on people those books could’ve been adapted into movies and they weren’t to nostalgia. They could have led to amazing stories and everything but a certain woman and maybe certain people at Disney thought you can’t do that you have to go a different route and I think that was the worst idea they didand I agree. She lied to George Lucas because she had no intentions of following his advice or any of his story ideas
It's the same problem people have with writers coming on to beloved properties. Too many industry writers believe that they cannot promote themselves without adding their own flair to projects. So beloved stories are all too often twisted into something unrecognizable to those who are familiar with the story and its lore.
The moment you look at Star Wars as "nostalgia" YOU HAVE FAILED. Look at the EU success of the 1990s... nobody wanted "nostalgia." They wanted great stories that matched the tone and continuity of the original trilogy. And honestly, it was NOT hard to do. All of Lucas's SW content--by him or by others--remained very successful ($32 billion in all) until the moment Kathleen Kennedy took over. SW isn't "falling apart," it's being TORN apart. Kathleen Kennedy is sacrificing EVERYTHING at the altar of her personal politics. KK and her entire staff MUST GO if Star Wars is to be saved.
Disney ruined the Sequel Trilogy from the start, by undoing all the achievements of our beloved, established characters, and then destroying them so they could be replaced with their own new original characters. The only good Disney Star Wars is Rogue One and the Mandalorian (well, most of it), because they only enrich the story told in the first 6 movies that George Lucas created. The only thing that can save the franchise (and this is not likely to happen), is to declare the whole Sequel Trilogy non-canon, and start over using Lucas' ideas and Expanded Universe lore. Erase this whole First Order crap. My opinion as an old fan who truly loves the first 6 films, yes even the Prequels. He dicho.
What Disney did to Luke Skywalker killed anything they made of Star Wars for me. I was a huge fan until then. I tried getting back into it but, never could after that. Luke was the hero to be idolized. He chose to not fight the dark side, not raise against his father, believing there was still good in him. His compassion saved the galaxy. Disney comes in and all of a sudden Luke has a bad dream and suddenly is going to murder his nephew because his dream told him his nephew was evil? Then he felt bad and became a hermit. It was stupid. He should have been more of a hero, training Rey, passing the torch. Then getting to Rey. She popped up and became amazing by..."magic"? She had no real growth or struggles that really led to her being a hero. It was a weak character with a weak story ark. Then Disney went off the rails with all of their shows. None were interesting, none really clicked or resonated. They have failed to make any interesting original characters. They bombed the franchise. In my opinion, the only way to repair the damage is to throw out everything that Disney has made in the franchise and start from scratch. Keep our heroes as heroes, not washed out losers. Make interesting new heroes with new dangers/threats they need to battle. Have a rebuilt Jedi Order, or growing Order, or some new order of force users that strive for peace. For as much as some fans complained about the Yuzan Vong, they were a new challenge for a new generation. Those legends novels grew the franchise in a positive way. Even if some of the heroes were killed off passing the torch, they remained heroes to respect until the end. The new heroes were great and also good heroes. How Disney dropped the ball so hard is insane to me.
Let me explain. Nostalgia isn't the problem. The problem is contempt against the fans who built the series over decades then having a finger wagged in their face when the changes butcher everything that's been established to fit some writer's fanfic OC. Further it's non-fans writing the show who knows next to nothing about the series. Then turn around and wag their fingers in REAL fan's face when their trash is criticized. Luke put all of his hope AND his life in the hands of his father, Anakin Skywalker. He gambled HEAVILY on the war criminal Darth Vader having a sliver of a conscience left. Only for a fanfic writer to turn around and make that same Luke almost merc his nephew over a nightmare. See the issue? "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be." Most ironic line to ever be written by the fanfic writers who are currently destroying the industry.
It is a distorted nostalgia franchise under Disney that spends more energy on rewriting the past constantly instead of foraging a new future. That future should build a cohesive baseline on what came before and push forward.
5:55, do I think Disney should bring back George Lucas….? Yknow, THE FUCKING CREATOR OF STAR WARS AND THE MAN WHO BROUGHT US BANGER AFTER BANGER?!?! This is a no brainer, they should put every penny they have towards bringing George back and making sure every film he produces has everything it needs ( EXCEPT DEI ideas, keep that shit away from this franchise from now on) 😤🤷♂️ he’s the only one who can save this franchise 🤔💯🙏
The only thing anyone who despises the Disney Star Wars era needs to say is “Disney had an already established continuation of the franchise (legends novels) and instead of following the established better stories they tried to remake it and ran the franchise into the ground.” To be clear the “legends” novels were canon prior to Disney making a really stupid decision.
Nobody wants a "Rey" movie. The vast majority of fans would much rather forget those shit sequels were ever made.
Hell yeah Rey suck
I'd rather watch the SW holiday special than another film with Rey in it.

Such a bad review of what the problem was. They don't cling to the past, they corrupt it with their new vision...
It’s not about nostalgia it’s about respect for a storyline and sticking with it, not throwing away beloved characters & replacing them with your political view. It’s like came back and started the Jedi Academy I guarantee would make more money than any film that has been made Kathleen Kennedy, Respect the rules and the storyline.
Litterally no one cares about Rey. Her growth was weak, her character boring, Finn had better growth and he got sidelined like trash, as his actor said.
It is simple. The fans make / break any show or movie. If they are not happy with the current agenda / direction, change!
A wise Jedi once said "Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."
No. I will not be watching the Rey movie.
I avoid anything Disney is involved in no matter how popular it becomes simply because i know Disney has an underlining agenda that i philosophically am opposed to.
Kathleen Kennedy really said that "these are not like the Harry potter books where you already have a template" "these come out of George's head"
That right there proves Kathleen has no idea what she's talking about and did no research on star wars at all. There are SO MANY STAR WARS BOOKS WRITTEN. Just pick one and roll with it!!!!
South Park is insane and I’m here for it 😂 gotta give it to them for keeping it real all these years.
Lord of the rings. Star wars. Warhammer. My heart fills with sadness. Screw those freaks
Kathleen Kennedy is the worst thing that ever happened to Star Wars, but bringing back the guy that created the prequels isn't the answer either.
I love how we as the Fandom have been saying this shizz for 7 years! The Legends canon could have easily replaced the last 10 years, and yet, remember at Disney, there is no knowledge to dive into outside of the 6 original movies and Clone Wars! And yet, the Acolyte says there is no good or evil, just power!
Luke had his 3 movies. Anakin had his 3 movies. Rey does NOT need another 3 of her own.
Look the line ends with Disney's CEO, at some point he needs to get off is behind and do his job and kick Kennedy to the curb! He hasn't done anything because he agrees with the stupid woke agenda! I'm not a racist or sexist, but at some point poeple need to realize that they aren't entitled to change the lore of a story. They want woke movies and heros for their television, they can make new stories with new heros! Stop screwing with already established fan bases! Make your own stuff and those who want to watch it will be able to! It's not rocket science!
They were trying to rewrite the "old testament" while trying to make a shitty "new testament." they were destined for failure from conception...
Who asked for a Rey movie?? 🤔🤔🤔
Disney needs to crank out more DEI and Woke movies/ shows. They need to lean into their ‘message’ and push it harder.
Then after they completely tank Star Wars, George Lucas can buy it back at a fraction of the cost and return Star Wars to its former glory.
KENOBI DIDN'T WORK IT FAILED HARD.
Didn't southpark mock her like, a year ago? Almost 2 now?
Did she say there was a template for Harry Potter? What template?
Lucas, "You run your life in a very selfish way and think you're doing good but you're not." is so astoundingly calling out the problem with both Iger and Kennedy. They care more about their ideology and put it above all else even to the point of losing billions at this point because they think they're doing things for the greater good but are not.
i mean if they really want star wars to be a success, all they had to do was bring the old republic lore to the front and center, but unfortunately, disney has uncanonized all of that and its extremely doubtful that any of it would come to mainstream.
but if they would have just used old republic lore, they could have a hundred new stories that they could make into tv shows or movies, but again, they didn't go that route.
"You're being asked to create the new New Testament." There's your problem. The stories already exist in books. Several authors have already shown what happened pre episode 4 and post episode 6. Many Star Wars fans can tell you ALL about them! They're canon. Stop making non-canon stuff.
But also in this, you have an entire galaxy. You don't need to tether anything to anything. A force user does some stuff on another planet we haven't heard of yet with characters we don't know while getting glimpses of what's happening during the time of 4-6? Easy peasy. It's not like a galaxy is going to septillions of beings in it or anything...
Why don’t they just follow the StarWars Novels. Pre KK garbage.
Did that man say Kenobi WORKED😅😅😅😅. NO. Kenobi completely sucked like everything else after mandalorian.
Huge SW fan. Didn't finish the second Rey movie, didn't bother watching the 3rd. I've seen the first 6 movies dozens of times. We cannot blame everything on Putin.
Kathleen Kennedy + Star wars = 💀
As soon she gone the life to star wars comes back
WHOOPSI, Kenobi did NOT work😂
Star Wars is the Original trilogy, Prequels, a few good shows, lots of E.U. with books and comics and that is ALL it is.
I think it's dead but if Disney wants to go bankrupt so be it.
Anyone that calls rey a skywalker isnt a fan and i suggest never speaking to them again
I would have made her either the granddaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi, or even the daughter of Luke Skywalker, plus maybe they should’ve made her Leia and Han Solo’s daughter.
Its bad fanfiction with a complete disregard for established war and love of insincere corporate pandering
Nah Disney always sucked it’s just more visible since they began buying up other cinematic creative properties. When it wasn’t “woke” disney was taking classic folk tales putting them in the mill and churning out bland vanilla princesses. Marvel movies were only entertaining until their planned projects ran out and Disney fully took over. Disney always sucked
For Marvel, it was when Stan Lee died.
He constantly stood in their way about this
They have a whole universe of wide open material and they still manage to convincingly mess it up with a capital F
Where’s the part where she’s upset with us??????????
Recycle the feelings of the past? They aren't even doing that. Instead they are pushing the fans away with woke feminist messaging in which the female lead is great at everything without character development and all the men including Luke Skywalker are now bumbling idiots.
6:58 for a moment Kathleen forgot he was talking about the theme of the films and thought he was talking about her. Lol her face was saying, “shit…that sounds like me.”
If Disney wanted to boost Star Wars as a property, they would very publicly fire Kennedy.
I literally walked out of the theater when Luke tossed his saber over his shoulder.. while everyone else was laughing..
This is RIDICULOUS!! HAS NOTHING to do with "Nostalgia"! The ONLY reason why fans are STILL INFURIATED is because we NEVER got the SEQUELS to the OT!! Disney is only episode 7, 8 and 9 are NOTHING of the sort. They were EPILOGUES because Luke, Leia, Han etc were NOT the focus of the so called sequels! Instead tarded Disney chose to INTRODUCE new characters for NO REASON AT ALL and relegate the characters that are the MAIN FOCUS of a SEQUEL to background supporting characters!!
THIS is why so many fans are DISGUSTED by what they did and why we were Sooooo ECSTATIC over seeing a young powerful Luke show up in His Red 5 X Wing and DESTROY the dark Trooper platoon, rescue the Mandolorian and other bounty hunters, save Grogu and see R2D2 in what is undoubtedly the MOST POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL SCENE in All of Star Wars making even Adult Men, myself included well up into tears
Not trusting George's original vision is the biggest mistake they made
Notice how George Lucas looks briefly at Kathy Kenny during a that famous interview. 😮
He was obviously the wrong director. He pointed to the one thing Star Wars did right in 10 years as what he thinks is the problem.
I won't watch Mando and Grogu if Kennedy is still working at Disney.
_"We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. ... In a way, we were trying to make these films for George, not for ourselves."_
- *_NOT_* Kathleen Kennedy
Disney should cast Rachel Ziggler as the new Rey
and that dude from the Bud Light commercials Dylan Mulvaney as Han Solo
George described exactly what Kathleen Kennedy did 😂
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, you’ve got a perfect opportunity. The Ninth Jedi from visions was a fantastic starting point. Hire that studio to make an entire multi-season series, and then take the time to make good live action stories rather than rushing out live action garbage
13:08 “beep, bop, boop” 😅
15:07 “known for conservative views” ??? How is it “conservative”
And the way George Lucas described what people do and the dark side they can turn is exactly what Kathleen Kennedy does it's hilarious
There was also the expanded universe books, 📕 Come on people those books could’ve been adapted into movies and they weren’t to nostalgia. They could have led to amazing stories and everything but a certain woman and maybe certain people at Disney thought you can’t do that you have to go a different route and I think that was the worst idea they didand I agree. She lied to George Lucas because she had no intentions of following his advice or any of his story ideas
It's the same problem people have with writers coming on to beloved properties. Too many industry writers believe that they cannot promote themselves without adding their own flair to projects. So beloved stories are all too often twisted into something unrecognizable to those who are familiar with the story and its lore.
The moment you look at Star Wars as "nostalgia" YOU HAVE FAILED.
Look at the EU success of the 1990s... nobody wanted "nostalgia." They wanted great stories that matched the tone and continuity of the original trilogy. And honestly, it was NOT hard to do. All of Lucas's SW content--by him or by others--remained very successful ($32 billion in all) until the moment Kathleen Kennedy took over.
SW isn't "falling apart," it's being TORN apart. Kathleen Kennedy is sacrificing EVERYTHING at the altar of her personal politics. KK and her entire staff MUST GO if Star Wars is to be saved.
Disney ruined the Sequel Trilogy from the start, by undoing all the achievements of our beloved, established characters, and then destroying them so they could be replaced with their own new original characters. The only good Disney Star Wars is Rogue One and the Mandalorian (well, most of it), because they only enrich the story told in the first 6 movies that George Lucas created. The only thing that can save the franchise (and this is not likely to happen), is to declare the whole Sequel Trilogy non-canon, and start over using Lucas' ideas and Expanded Universe lore. Erase this whole First Order crap. My opinion as an old fan who truly loves the first 6 films, yes even the Prequels. He dicho.
Disney is abbohorant and unacceptable and has been for decades enough of this garbage already 😡
What Disney did to Luke Skywalker killed anything they made of Star Wars for me. I was a huge fan until then. I tried getting back into it but, never could after that.
Luke was the hero to be idolized. He chose to not fight the dark side, not raise against his father, believing there was still good in him. His compassion saved the galaxy.
Disney comes in and all of a sudden Luke has a bad dream and suddenly is going to murder his nephew because his dream told him his nephew was evil? Then he felt bad and became a hermit. It was stupid. He should have been more of a hero, training Rey, passing the torch.
Then getting to Rey. She popped up and became amazing by..."magic"? She had no real growth or struggles that really led to her being a hero. It was a weak character with a weak story ark.
Then Disney went off the rails with all of their shows. None were interesting, none really clicked or resonated. They have failed to make any interesting original characters. They bombed the franchise. In my opinion, the only way to repair the damage is to throw out everything that Disney has made in the franchise and start from scratch. Keep our heroes as heroes, not washed out losers. Make interesting new heroes with new dangers/threats they need to battle. Have a rebuilt Jedi Order, or growing Order, or some new order of force users that strive for peace.
For as much as some fans complained about the Yuzan Vong, they were a new challenge for a new generation. Those legends novels grew the franchise in a positive way. Even if some of the heroes were killed off passing the torch, they remained heroes to respect until the end. The new heroes were great and also good heroes.
How Disney dropped the ball so hard is insane to me.
This happened before. Exactly this same thing.
JJ said he didn’t wanna do it. Then JJ said he did. So, Disney is just rehashing a Hell loop
KK should have fired after Disney TLJ
Let me explain.
Nostalgia isn't the problem.
The problem is contempt against the fans who built the series over decades then having a finger wagged in their face when the changes butcher everything that's been established to fit some writer's fanfic OC.
Further it's non-fans writing the show who knows next to nothing about the series. Then turn around and wag their fingers in REAL fan's face when their trash is criticized.
Luke put all of his hope AND his life in the hands of his father, Anakin Skywalker. He gambled HEAVILY on the war criminal Darth Vader having a sliver of a conscience left.
Only for a fanfic writer to turn around and make that same Luke almost merc his nephew over a nightmare.
See the issue?
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be."
Most ironic line to ever be written by the fanfic writers who are currently destroying the industry.
south park needs to have more Kathleen kennedy shows. the put a chick in it is hilarious
I wish Lucas wouldn't havd sold out to Disney and gave Lucasfilm and the subsequent properties to someone who cherished star wars as much as himself..
It is a distorted nostalgia franchise under Disney that spends more energy on rewriting the past constantly instead of foraging a new future. That future should build a cohesive baseline on what came before and push forward.
5:55, do I think Disney should bring back George Lucas….? Yknow, THE FUCKING CREATOR OF STAR WARS AND THE MAN WHO BROUGHT US BANGER AFTER BANGER?!?! This is a no brainer, they should put every penny they have towards bringing George back and making sure every film he produces has everything it needs ( EXCEPT DEI ideas, keep that shit away from this franchise from now on) 😤🤷♂️ he’s the only one who can save this franchise 🤔💯🙏
Lol George described Kk and Disney to a T.
The only thing anyone who despises the Disney Star Wars era needs to say is “Disney had an already established continuation of the franchise (legends novels) and instead of following the established better stories they tried to remake it and ran the franchise into the ground.”
To be clear the “legends” novels were canon prior to Disney making a really stupid decision.
Who ever hired her n still allowing her to ruin the most successful film franchise in history is the real culprit …
Roadmap on how to Destroy a Franchise! Disney has Destroyed Star Wars! RIP!
Man if only they made a live action film following revan through the Mando war or confirmation on his fate. That is some star wars nostalgia
I'm still on the side where I think Kennedy was just the face and mouth of all of this. I'm pretty sure this came from even higher up.
