The problem with modern Star Wars is that it doesn't feel like Star Wars. Where is the music? where is the classic storytelling? and why we are concentrating on average people when the story of Star Wars has always been about the rise of a hero?. To be fair... in my opinion Star Wars doesn't feel like Star Wars since the Phantom Menace. Before the debut of Phantom Menace I almost burn the original trilogy VHS tapes watching them again and again and I was so excited for the new movie and when I saw Phantom Menace I was like...what the heck is this? ( especially when I saw Jar Jar and that whole political stuff). Star Wars is a fantasy story in space. We have the hero living his life until fate puts him on a quest to save the world ( or the galaxy in Star Wars case), we have the wizard that gives him the tools that will eventually help him to be victorious, there's also the princess that must be rescued and the big evil that must be stopped. Disney had all the tools to make the sequel trilogy legendary. Instead they misused the original cast and never really put over the new generation. I lost faith in the sequel trilogy the moment Kylo Ren took his mask off and began having a temper tantrum. By the second movie my interest was dead when they unceremoniously took Snoke out ( the mystery of his identity their biggest draw). The third movie was a moment of realization for Disney... Oh wait! this is the last movie and we have nothing!! quick contact ian McDiarmid!.
Acolyte was absolutely horrible but andor wasn’t much better, that show was so dry, I don’t want those writers touching any other projects, nor will I be watching season 2 of that garbage
Disney in 2019: "Oh no, we've totally effed up Star Wars movies. We make streaming series now so people will forget about the shitty movies." Disney in 2024: "Oh no, we've totally effed up Star Wars series. We make movies now so people will forget about the shitty series."
That won't happen for a very long time, if ever.. Disney may have ruined their shot, but they know another company would have more success with it; therefore Disney would only sell it at a price that reflects that future success.
@@Matthew-ir1ed Actually with diney's many legal problems coming up (and those that haven't dropped yet), Disney properties will be worth pennies on the dollar. If I were bob, never say never. Their justice is coming.
I wish that could happen but we know it won’t. But there is a good 20 years or so between ROTJ and TFA. There are plenty of stories they could out there to make us forget about the sequel trilogy.
They won't because it would offend the people involved, but what they could and should do is simply establish legends as its own timeline and hire the right people (those who were part of it before) to continue from where it left off, while also continuing disney canon less and less until it's quietly put down via lack of interest. I don't mean an MCU styled multiverse either but there being entirely separate star wars continuities, as separate from one another as they are from pokemon or hello kitty, this is the only way to save star wars. I do fear them ruining the legends timeline though so they could just create an entirely new one or a new version of it, either way multiple canon's is the only way they can salvage star wars because it allows the sequels to be quarantined into their own realm of garbage, without having to explicitly erase them.
The sequels may have turned a profit in theaters but I can guarantee the money they make from sequel toys and merchandise is abysmal compared the OT and the Prequels. I bet even Mando merchandise makes more cuz of baby yoda alone
I think that Star Wars honestly could get better even under Disney If they let John Favreau Run it with a little bit of help From Filoni without Kennedys interference its ez to see that Kathleen Kennedy interfered after Mandalorian season 2 with the firing of Gina Carano then her interference happened Immediately with the book of boba fet with them taking Baby Yoda away from Luke immediately. It could get better but Will they let them make it better. Maybe not perfect but it could be better.
Yeah, if those fools just followed the damn blue print, they wouldn't be in this position. It's wild... creative control can ruin established properties. We're seeing this exact same situation with the house of the Dragon season 2. This is unfortunate because I thought season 1 was exceptional
@@lookingforwookiecopilot No it didn't lol. Nothing since the prequels was any good aside from Rogue one and the Mandalorian season 1/2 Get out of here . All of everything else especially The Acolyte and Kenobi were terrible. The prequels weren't bad you're an idiot lol they just weren't great but they were good especially the phantom menace.
It already has come back and it’s not going anywhere any time soon. Disney will just find new fans if you refuse to accept that they own it and will never give it up.
Too much of a product that isn’t quality. Star Wars is, essentially, wizards in space (with a few exceptions like R1 and Andor). Stop making sub-par shows, gaslighting your audience, stop with the identity politics, and stick with what works. People want to escape for a few hours. Let them enjoy the experience.
I agree, and wizards and cowboys in a future galactic theater, amazing. That’s all I need. As they fuck up with the stuff you mentioned, it muddies it.
If the new SW movies were "a success", as you say, then why Disney decided to stop making movies 5 years ago? And why the plans to make another one sometime in the future still don't have script not director?
If Luke had the ability to see the future and what Kylo’s path would be, he could have chosen not to attempt to kill Kylo Ren and worked to embrace him and keep him from falling to the dark side. Together they could have fought the rise of the First Order. Han and Leah could be saved and changed the entire outcome.
Agreed. Honestly getting tired of it always being around the Skywalker Saga era. Theirs so much potential for stories set outside that point. Show us stuff we haven't seen on screen like the rise of both the Jedi and how the Sith split off.
@@brittanyjtaylor2638 I agree that anti Kathleen Kennedy activists ruined the show before it was even released, but Disney is not going to see it that way. Instead what they’ll see is that they can’t try anything new because the fans will hate it. We are once again seeing it with Outlaws, where political activists are hating on the game without even playing it, and Disney is going to interpret the wrong message.
Even if you dry clean the sheets you'll always know that someone shat the bed. I have no faith in Starwars getting back on track. I have less faith that anybody can agree on what "on track" even is anymore.
That's because they've diversified their fandom too much. Now instead of it being a huge thing in pop culture whenever a new movie comes out and a nerd thing in the inbetween they've tried to keep it constantly in the spotlight, which has pushed out it's more nerdy fanbase (By nerdy fanbase, I refer to the people who prioritise lore and the expanded content (Books, Games, Comics)). And seeing as the nerds kept Star Wars funded by buying all it's expanded content but now they don't care and the new fandom is filled with surface level fans (ones who don't care too much about the canon or the expanded content), which is fine but it prevents it from reaching the success that it used to have.
that Acolyte has got to be the worst in destroying so much of the lore of star Wars. I loved Obi wan, that should have been considered over this stretch of anti Star Wars. I think a respite from the last show and hopefully some kind of re direct can only help. The only thing I enjolyed about that show was the reviews from different channels. I do enjoy the review shows, but it all became a great chuckle with everyone seeing the inane story lines. I will NOIT miss the mie humor. A STAR WARS like Andor, Rebels, going back and giving Obi wan a second chance which is a better chance than that wacko ""power of DONE". tHANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW.
The crazy thing is it really is that simple. Put them in an "alternative timeline" and forget them. Then the post RotJ era is wide open again, to do right, hopefully Would bring a lot of fans back and rake in money
I definitely want as much Star Wars as Lucasfilm is willing to throw at me. But if that means compromising on quality and overall success, then I'm all for dialing it back. I would rather they focus on getting it right.
I can't with the Mortis Gods. The more I revisit the story, the more Star Wars ended in 2003. Filoni really did introduce to much canon breaking stories that I just can't. Ahsoka as Anakin's acolyte, Not sure I like the Bendu, Despise the Mortis arc. It died for me before Disney bought it.
If they're gonna actually make a reset, they need to decanonize their crap and sell the franchise to someone who's actually competent enough to run the franchise, someone who actually knows star wars. I just don't trust Disney anymore, and I'll never forgive them for decanonizing the eu, ruining Luke, and backstabbing George Lucas!
There's so much established star wars content and characters to use out there that Disney has no excuse anymore to keep getting it wrong. All they need to do is tap into the massive well stories and stay true to the material and they won't fail. Dear Disney, STOP BRINGING YOUR POLITICS INTO OUR STAR WARS
The only great reset I would like from Star Wars is for Disney to finally pass the IP on to someone else who cares about the fans and the source material. They have done a decent job with a few things here and there, but overall have run the franchise aground, stripped it for parts, and left it to rot.
@@winstonsmith6204 Or George Lucas LOL. Why not? Disney bought Power Rangers, ran it into the ground, and then sold it back to the original owner for less money. They basically paid money to rent it and then returned it to the same owner!
I'm just a regular joe, with no social media channels or UA-cam channels, and I found modern Star Wars to be pretty poor. and after a while it became obvious why. because they want to put agenda in all their shows. and they hire people that don't know anything about Star Wars.
If you give them money, REGARDLESS of what show it is, they will spend 90% on SJW garbage and 10% to get suckers to keep thinking the should give this new show just one more shot.
The best thing Ahsoka season 2 could do is to use the World Between Worlds, have there be a big, shiny reset button in there, and have Ahsoka press it.
They destroy a brand for an entire decade and only want to reverse course once they see they are losing money. Fans told them this wouldn't work and they gave everyone the finger. I'm not coming back to Star Wars.
The problem right now facing Star Wars is not a lack of content or too much content..........the problem is that Disney is out of touch with the auidence. They focus on woke politicis and agendas that have alienated fans. Every project since Rogue One has been the same song and dance with the exception of Andor and season one of the Mandalorian. And that song and dance is they make a terrible show that fewer people like. Then when it fails they blame "toxic fans". They more they double down, the more people walk away. And this will continue until the powers that be at Disney realize that it's a sinking ship. And the only way to actually fix Star Wars is to purge the woke agenda and focus on actually creating quality Star Wars content. No agendas, no attacking fans, no woke politics, no Kathleen Kennedy and the whole "force is female" garbage. Tell stories that people actually are willing to spend their hard earned money to see and they'll watch it.
Bob Iger is the reason why both Marvel and Star Wars is garbage. The sequel trilogy is the worst Star Wars that’s ever been created followed by the Acolyte, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. Bob Iger and KK gtg. There will be no good Star Wars content until they are gone.
Filoni is doing more than Kennedy. As soon as he started interfering in Mandalorian it started going downhill. He also was the one who pushed for the Acolyte to be made. And if you care about continuity, he's running riot through it all. Making anything from minor retcons (Yoda's Lightsaber) to huge retcons that remove entire stories from the canon (Ahsoka Novel, Dark Disciple, Kanan comic series).
I find it kinda funny that the two projects I was most interested in on that revieal board of all the planned movies and series were the first ones to be scratched. Rouge Squadron, and Rangers.
Can I just say I loved your outro closer and finishing statements, you are a true supporter of the community of Star Wars and a good voice to listen to and take solace in for all us fans - thank you
A reset happened in 2014 when disney reset the canon to begin their star wars stories. This sounds more like a course correction in comparison to the big 2014 reset. I think it's good they are making an adjustment. I won't make a prediction of success. I'd rather wish them success in the hope for better Star Wars stories to come. I would be fine with another big canon reset sometime in the future keeping only the best Lucas and Disney stories as canon and moving the rest to EU. Why not get more mountains of money to tell the Star Wars stories again at a fresh starting point for new generations without even having to buy the franchise again.
@@dieselsucker565 Definitely. Although I'm assuming the original post meant everything post RoTJ chronologically in the timeline, rather than anything produced since RoTJ
Exactly! If you keep telling me filet mignon is for dinner, but serve me dog food instead? Eventually I’ll just stop accepting the invitation because I know better.
I think it’s not just the volume of content, but the quality and then the relationship between the two. If having less content on D+ means they can increase the quality of the story telling, in the theatre and streaming, then I’m all for it.
You would think if Disney+ was so important to Disney they would've made good content for it. I don't think Disney understands Star Wars at all and making less content won't help anything. Even if we only got one new show a year, The Acolyte is still a bad show.
Bob Iger stayed on at Disney as Chairman when Chepek was CEO making Iger his boss. Not only that but Iger said he was going to focus more on creative and less on the day to day after Chepek became CEO. So while I agree things do seem to be turning around. I don't think you can pin it all on Chepek. At least not if you take Iger at his word.
I think whether its tv or movies, the focus on having the stories gel well with canon stories that resonate with the most people is important. Personally i think it would depend on which shows or movies are focused on. Maybe too much of all the above can lower quality though, since less attention ends up being given to some projects over others, but that’s just a guess, I don’t know what actually goes on inside the studios. I really thought Ashoka builds very well upon what the Rebels series left behind, the storytelling is fantastic. Sure there are some plot holes but Star Wars being for all ages, i can get why some plot holes exist, though I feel that is more a writing issue and won’t go on more there. I am excited for Ashoka season 2, and especially Baylan and the Morris arc, and am actually curious how Obi wan season two will look. If there is a mandalorian movie i would of course go and see that. The show was great in my opinion though i hoped to see a following season rather than film. Although the plot of finding and protecting the child was achieved so I can understand it just becoming a film at this point.
Nice informative video mate. I must have been under a rock or something but I didn't realise we were only getting one show next year 😢😢😢 I'm old enough to remember having to wait years for star wars content and for the most part have enjoyed getting some of streaming shows: mandalorian, Boba fett, kenobi, ahsoka. Not always perfect, but ive had fun. The worst part was putting up with people endlessly whining on youtube. Sure not all of its been perfect (Acolyte) but I've preferred it to the films Disney produced, they didn5 even bother to plan the sequel trilogy out, so I worry about them focusing on films.
Thanks man, yeah I’m in a similar boat, I couldn’t wait for The Force Awakens to come out in 2015. I wasn’t really sure on what to expect from the D+ shows but overall it’s been a fun ride, I’m hoping the sequel trilogy proves to be somewhat of a learning curve for them going forward in regards to new movies 👍
I was SO hyped after season two of Mando . They’d won me back , loved Andor , but currently no one in our household cares about the future of Star Wars , and that’s kind of sad .
A Star Wars reset is easy. One, they have a huge galaxy sandbox to play in. Two, the timeline can be moved. The Skywalker clan are not the only characters in the galaxy. Create new characters, new situations, political dynamics, use the same races and their traits but different motivations. Star Wars KOTOR is a great example of this.
@Gregory11811 no, its just that DEI isnt necessary in a franchise thats been diverse and inclusive from the beginning? why sacrifice the story to make more forced diversity the centerpiece that the rest of any script has to revolve around??? Even if you're a sweet baby cuck and love DEI, star wars is the last franchise that ever needed it.
@@Gregory11811 When you hire writers and directors based on their sex and skin color instead of their skills--that is what DEI is all about, and that's why you get crap like everything Disney has churned out. No one cares about what the actors look like, as long as they CAN act.
All Dismal Disney will do is try to draw out & delay production of Star Bores projects. Bringing And-Bor & Ahsoka back is one thing. No issues with the actors, but a crap script is what it is! The actors can only do so much to off set that! 😊
there is so much good content coming from the old republic era that is no longer cannon, I dont understand why they dont tap into that where there is a compelling story to long term fans while still being friendly to new viewers since there needs to be no prior knowledge of any of the media. darth malgus and nihilus make great antagonists while still being different and refreshing. or even tell a story about palpatines early days as a sith
What do you saying? Are you saying that Star Wars will get a reboot just like DC. did and just like marvel will But wait, are we going to see Full Potential Anakin Skywalker and the reboot or are we going to see him in the Ahsoka TV? season 2 also i still think their is hope for the acolyte season 2 or some new tv show or movie to continue were it left off
Acolyte failed because it wasn't KOTR. They tried to appeal to its idea without honoring the original storyline. We never got Darth Revan, Nihilus, or Bane in live action. They could have resurrected Lucas's original plans for the sequels but they scrapped it all instead of tastefully amending it. Sure they probably would have messed it up anyway by the inclusive pandering but it was certainly better than playing each movie by ear. The beauty of star wars is in the concept pf "in media res" which is beginning a story at the end. We knew how the story ended with the prequels, and the joy of it was finding out how the original storyline came to be. It's the lore and the dedication to a fictional universe thats so engaging. They definitely missed the magic of it because it's not just a story of good vs. evil, its the stories about how negligence can lead to the subjects demise- dramatic irony, how even though intentions may be good, we're all capable of succumbing to our own hubris and bringing forth horrible consequences, how one thought to be too far gone could still have a chance at redemption, and how we don't have to accept defeat while staring in it's eyes. Very adult and philosophical story arcs, made PG/PG-13 digestible are what make people of all ages love Star Wars and that's the fundamental core of what they seem to miss, even after they get it right once or twice. that's why it's so hard to make their money back, because it seems blatantly obvious that making the investment back is all they're thinking about.
Star War should not just only be on streaming but also on DVD as well not ever one can get streaming for any reason, and they should care about they're fans
It had some decent scenes. Should have been a movie. Edited to be better. The kung fu fight scenes was new and unique and the lightsabers scenes were actually top notch even tho most people won’t admit it, they just had terrible terrible writing. Hell even the ninja knives for the Carrie Moss kill and the poison was both cool scenes and good ideas if maybe executed poorly.
I’d put my life, and I’m sure many actual fans would too, that if they were to make a legends timeline, and a “what if” from both the prequels and after rots and focus on a lot more lightsaber content and PRIME Luke then Star Wars would be back in less than 4 years. They should make shows about prequel characters, darth maul, Grievous, savage, count dooku etc There is SO much content available from the clone wars and rebels that would work well in live action. They should focus on quality rather than quantity, One good complete detailed timeline until the return of the Jedi. Can’t believe they haven’t made a full darth Vader show either, SO MUCH CONTENT FROM THE COMICS😭
Mistakes were made. Disney was in such a rush to capitalize on their new asset that they didn’t even catch their own mistakes. In too many cases they failed to see what it was the people liked in existing character’s/stories and even changed the narrative on new characters/shows fans were enjoying. Then Disney blamed the fandom for reacting. In short, the mouse got over eager and went off prematurely… Leaving us all a little unsatisfied
When I talk to people, I find that the sequels have killed the excitement for Star Wars simply because of what they did to Anakin. It was always about the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker. The sequels basically erased the meaning of everything. Without that, what is there to watch? What's the great story if it has nothing to tie into but a name (Star Wars) and not a person we're emotionally bought into?
The problem with Disney Star Wars is that they can only come up with two types of stories: 1. A complete carbon-copy of a movie that George Lucas already made 2. Agenda-driven content that is not character or plot based Look, no one's saying that you can't have diverse characters, but that cannot be the only detail to focus on. Disney focuses so much on how each character is unique from a DEI perspective, then they do a mike-drop... you need to focus on the plot and cannon-development as well. People want to be entertained (obviously) first and everything else is second. No one is going to pay money to watch a DEI seminar in space.
No fan wants woke politics in our SW shows and films. and the Kathy Kennedy idea of SW women being smart and men being dumb is killing not just shows and movies but merchendising as well.
Two Movies in 2026!?! That seems ambitious, not that I’m opposed. Still, Lucasfilm needs to focus on quality, taking their time to get it right. They should target one good film for 2027 as that will be the 50th anniversary of Star Wars. Great Video 😎👍👍
Yeah I get what you’re saying there! It would be great if they could nail it with multiple movies a year though, like the MCU did for a time 🤔 thanks for checking it out mate 👍
If they think things aren't going well because there is too much star wars saturation, then that means they don't realize that 99% of the stuff they've made has been very bad. If they don't get this then there is no possible way that things can improve. So just forget about it. Leave it alone. Really though, you have this star wars universe you can do ANYTHING in, but for some reason they are incapable of making something good. Seems like it would be a slam dunk. People put out good and interesting movies every year, it is possible, I've seen it!
not very high quality story telling with the last show, I couldn't watch it all it was so bad a story. I hope they do better, I have watched star wars for years and would like to see them succeed with new children's G/PG shows
All of those streaming shows were already slated by Iger when Chapek came on board. Disney Star Wars is in limbo currently. The Rey film appears to have been canceled as well.
Disney didn't let Star Wars "breath". Back in '77' there wasn't much as far as "video"ya know. We had cards,comics,some books like the Lando series..not much and it built anticipation for some big from "Georgie". They should have Obi Wan having a "Force Awakens" bad dream and the he wakes up. There...those garbage movies were nothing but a Force nightmare!
George Lucas left them with a formula that works making stories people love. The many authors of the EU(Legends) got the formula right. Disney wanted their own formula because they think they know better, and here we are. They need to stamp the new Canon as Fantasy, and start over. They need to just not adapt Legends in anyway, taking from it, sure but Disney just needs to leave it alone. Maybe allow Legends to continue by different authors, but I think that ship has sailed even if Disney did sign off on it.
Those Star Wars films did not make as much money as people thought. They all costed more than what was originally alleged. Also did they push merchandise? Honestly, I don't think so.
The problem Disney has is not what mixture of small versus big screen they're doing. The problem is, they increasingly suck at telling good stories, and they either don't understand, or outright hate Star Wars, so they are actively trying to twist it into something anti-Star Wars. Literally the same thing has been happening with the BBC and Doctor Who, and with Disney acquiring that, it will be the exact same issue: they'll continue to destroy Doctor Who in the way they've destroyed Star Wars, and the BBC already destroyed Doctor Who. It's time to remember what makes a good story, abandon established franchises, fire all top management, and get good talent making good, original stories. Not an easy task, but it is the only way any entertainment company is going to make anything that is not completely horrible.
I’m looking forward to Skeleton Crew. Report are that Kennedy is skeptical about it and feels that it doesn’t have enough messaging (woke propaganda). Same sources said she didn’t think Andor was any good and it turned out to be the best thing they’ve done besides R1 and Mando s1/2. So seems like the projects she has minimal interference with are great and the ones she has heavy influence on suck. So that fact she’s concerned about SK is exciting and maybe we’ll get a fun series
Oh yea, they're deff gonna have to start over, at square 1, as in, they'll have to rebuild a whole new fan base. The old fans have moved on at this point
Erase the sequel trilogy from existence. What Disney should have done, is a Kenobi Trilogy instead of the sequels or a post order 66 clone trooper trilogy, then do the sequels later, it would have created much more suspense and hopefully they would have made a better sequel trilogy.
Great reset? Hopefully you don’t go the way of Mike Zeroh. I wish they would stop pandering to the audience that doesn’t show up and doesn’t pay for the product
I can see why ppl would cling to an absolute canon, but there is a reason why Batman would probably last 100 years, and Star Wars barely makes it to 50... canon FLEXIBILITY
Kathleen Kennedy stood up there talking about “high quality story telling” with a straight face…
To be fair, that's the only kind of face she can make....
Lol as if you read stories.
How to build a million dollar corporation: Buy a Billion dollar corporation and let Kathleen Kennedy run it.
I hope Andor makes up for her treachery!
The problem with modern Star Wars is that it doesn't feel like Star Wars. Where is the music? where is the classic storytelling? and why we are concentrating on average people when the story of Star Wars has always been about the rise of a hero?.

Disney had all the tools to make the sequel trilogy legendary. Instead they misused the original cast and never really put over the new generation. I lost faith in the sequel trilogy the moment Kylo Ren took his mask off and began having a temper tantrum.

Its the writing. We need more Andor and less Acolyte
Absolutely! They need to take the team that made Andor and put them on the other projects.
Acolyte was absolutely horrible but andor wasn’t much better, that show was so dry, I don’t want those writers touching any other projects, nor will I be watching season 2 of that garbage
Amen!
Less of both honestly, we need more Force/Jedi based series/movies. And no more Woke LgBtq garbage.

If the new SW movies were "a success", as you say, then why Disney decided to stop making movies 5 years ago? And why the plans to make another one sometime in the future still don't have script not director?
If Luke had the ability to see the future and what Kylo’s path would be, he could have chosen not to attempt to kill Kylo Ren and worked to embrace him and keep him from falling to the dark side. Together they could have fought the rise of the First Order. Han and Leah could be saved and changed the entire outcome.
I want a new plot line other than empire and rebels factions fighting
Agreed. Honestly getting tired of it always being around the Skywalker Saga era. Theirs so much potential for stories set outside that point.
Show us stuff we haven't seen on screen like the rise of both the Jedi and how the Sith split off.
@@darkvortex2410 i want to see thrawn fight the grysk....
We just got that and the Fandom Menace hated it.
@@MJJFilms it was mostly bc activism
@@brittanyjtaylor2638 I agree that anti Kathleen Kennedy activists ruined the show before it was even released, but Disney is not going to see it that way. Instead what they’ll see is that they can’t try anything new because the fans will hate it. We are once again seeing it with Outlaws, where political activists are hating on the game without even playing it, and Disney is going to interpret the wrong message.
Even if you dry clean the sheets you'll always know that someone shat the bed.
I have no faith in Starwars getting back on track. I have less faith that anybody can agree on what "on track" even is anymore.
That's because they've diversified their fandom too much. Now instead of it being a huge thing in pop culture whenever a new movie comes out and a nerd thing in the inbetween they've tried to keep it constantly in the spotlight, which has pushed out it's more nerdy fanbase (By nerdy fanbase, I refer to the people who prioritise lore and the expanded content (Books, Games, Comics)). And seeing as the nerds kept Star Wars funded by buying all it's expanded content but now they don't care and the new fandom is filled with surface level fans (ones who don't care too much about the canon or the expanded content), which is fine but it prevents it from reaching the success that it used to have.
Andor is great, The Mandalorian is ok, and the rest is garbage.
Early Mando is great too, imo
that Acolyte has got to be the worst in destroying so much of the lore of star Wars. I loved Obi wan, that should have been considered over this stretch of anti Star Wars. I think a respite from the last show and hopefully some kind of re direct can only help. The only thing I enjolyed about that show was the reviews from different channels. I do enjoy the review shows, but it all became a great chuckle with everyone seeing the inane story lines. I will NOIT miss the mie humor. A STAR WARS like Andor, Rebels, going back and giving Obi wan a second chance which is a better chance than that wacko ""power of DONE". tHANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW.
It's simple erase 7,8,9
The crazy thing is it really is that simple. Put them in an "alternative timeline" and forget them. Then the post RotJ era is wide open again, to do right, hopefully
Would bring a lot of fans back and rake in money
And nearly all shows
I definitely want as much Star Wars as Lucasfilm is willing to throw at me. But if that means compromising on quality and overall success, then I'm all for dialing it back. I would rather they focus on getting it right.
You shouldn't trust Disney in doing that after Acolyte
Are we still blaming chaepek ffs wake up 😅
I can't with the Mortis Gods. The more I revisit the story, the more Star Wars ended in 2003. Filoni really did introduce to much canon breaking stories that I just can't. Ahsoka as Anakin's acolyte, Not sure I like the Bendu, Despise the Mortis arc. It died for me before Disney bought it.
If they're gonna actually make a reset, they need to decanonize their crap and sell the franchise to someone who's actually competent enough to run the franchise, someone who actually knows star wars. I just don't trust Disney anymore, and I'll never forgive them for decanonizing the eu, ruining Luke, and backstabbing George Lucas!
There's so much established star wars content and characters to use out there that Disney has no excuse anymore to keep getting it wrong. All they need to do is tap into the massive well stories and stay true to the material and they won't fail. Dear Disney, STOP BRINGING YOUR POLITICS INTO OUR STAR WARS
The only great reset I would like from Star Wars is for Disney to finally pass the IP on to someone else who cares about the fans and the source material.
They have done a decent job with a few things here and there, but overall have run the franchise aground, stripped it for parts, and left it to rot.
Who could purchase it?
@@winstonsmith6204 Anyone. Maybe Dreamworks or some wealthy individual or something.
@@winstonsmith6204 Or George Lucas LOL. Why not? Disney bought Power Rangers, ran it into the ground, and then sold it back to the original owner for less money. They basically paid money to rent it and then returned it to the same owner!
I'm just a regular joe, with no social media channels or UA-cam channels, and I found modern Star Wars to be pretty poor. and after a while it became obvious why. because they want to put agenda in all their shows. and they hire people that don't know anything about Star Wars.
Doesn't matter what they do, if it comes from Disney, not many will trust to give it a chance.
Andor will kill it. Everyone please watch it so we get more Andor quality movies/shows.
If you give them money, REGARDLESS of what show it is, they will spend 90% on SJW garbage and 10% to get suckers to keep thinking the should give this new show just one more shot.
The best thing Ahsoka season 2 could do is to use the World Between Worlds, have there be a big, shiny reset button in there, and have Ahsoka press it.
Have Mando press it and you have a plan...
The World Between Worlds is a dumb premise and by that stage just create a multiverse.
They destroy a brand for an entire decade and only want to reverse course once they see they are losing money. Fans told them this wouldn't work and they gave everyone the finger.
I'm not coming back to Star Wars.
Disney has killed Star Wars, just bury it.
The problem right now facing Star Wars is not a lack of content or too much content..........the problem is that Disney is out of touch with the auidence. They focus on woke politicis and agendas that have alienated fans. Every project since Rogue One has been the same song and dance with the exception of Andor and season one of the Mandalorian. And that song and dance is they make a terrible show that fewer people like. Then when it fails they blame "toxic fans". They more they double down, the more people walk away. And this will continue until the powers that be at Disney realize that it's a sinking ship. And the only way to actually fix Star Wars is to purge the woke agenda and focus on actually creating quality Star Wars content. No agendas, no attacking fans, no woke politics, no Kathleen Kennedy and the whole "force is female" garbage. Tell stories that people actually are willing to spend their hard earned money to see and they'll watch it.
Bob Iger is the reason why both Marvel and Star Wars is garbage. The sequel trilogy is the worst Star Wars that’s ever been created followed by the Acolyte, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. Bob Iger and KK gtg. There will be no good Star Wars content until they are gone.
Filoni is doing more than Kennedy. As soon as he started interfering in Mandalorian it started going downhill. He also was the one who pushed for the Acolyte to be made. And if you care about continuity, he's running riot through it all. Making anything from minor retcons (Yoda's Lightsaber) to huge retcons that remove entire stories from the canon (Ahsoka Novel, Dark Disciple, Kanan comic series).
Bullcrap! fire all the writers and hire some with fresh ideas. Then Maybe.
I find it kinda funny that the two projects I was most interested in on that revieal board of all the planned movies and series were the first ones to be scratched. Rouge Squadron, and Rangers.
Can I just say I loved your outro closer and finishing statements, you are a true supporter of the community of Star Wars and a good voice to listen to and take solace in for all us fans - thank you
A reset happened in 2014 when disney reset the canon to begin their star wars stories.
This sounds more like a course correction in comparison to the big 2014 reset.
I think it's good they are making an adjustment. I won't make a prediction of success. I'd rather wish them success in the hope for better Star Wars stories to come.
I would be fine with another big canon reset sometime in the future keeping only the best Lucas and Disney stories as canon and moving the rest to EU. Why not get more mountains of money to tell the Star Wars stories again at a fresh starting point for new generations without even having to buy the franchise again.
Please just have Anakin become the Mortis Father and open a time portal and Thanos snap everything post Return of the Jedi out of existence.
I would have said to keep Mandalorian, but s3 makes me less sure
Well, Rogue One and Andor are a keeper tho...
@@dieselsucker565 Definitely. Although I'm assuming the original post meant everything post RoTJ chronologically in the timeline, rather than anything produced since RoTJ
@@dieselsucker565 and set before return of the Jedi
Great to see a fair and positive outlook on Star Wars as it currently is. Subscribed.
I fear it may be too little too late. Too many fans have become too apprehensive about being burned.
Exactly! If you keep telling me filet mignon is for dinner, but serve me dog food instead? Eventually I’ll just stop accepting the invitation because I know better.
I think it’s not just the volume of content, but the quality and then the relationship between the two. If having less content on D+ means they can increase the quality of the story telling, in the theatre and streaming, then I’m all for it.
You would think if Disney+ was so important to Disney they would've made good content for it. I don't think Disney understands Star Wars at all and making less content won't help anything. Even if we only got one new show a year, The Acolyte is still a bad show.
Bob Iger stayed on at Disney as Chairman when Chepek was CEO making Iger his boss. Not only that but Iger said he was going to focus more on creative and less on the day to day after Chepek became CEO. So while I agree things do seem to be turning around. I don't think you can pin it all on Chepek. At least not if you take Iger at his word.
I think whether its tv or movies, the focus on having the stories gel well with canon stories that resonate with the most people is important. Personally i think it would depend on which shows or movies are focused on. Maybe too much of all the above can lower quality though, since less attention ends up being given to some projects over others, but that’s just a guess, I don’t know what actually goes on inside the studios.
I really thought Ashoka builds very well upon what the Rebels series left behind, the storytelling is fantastic. Sure there are some plot holes but Star Wars being for all ages, i can get why some plot holes exist, though I feel that is more a writing issue and won’t go on more there. I am excited for Ashoka season 2, and especially Baylan and the Morris arc, and am actually curious how Obi wan season two will look.
If there is a mandalorian movie i would of course go and see that. The show was great in my opinion though i hoped to see a following season rather than film. Although the plot of finding and protecting the child was achieved so I can understand it just becoming a film at this point.
Nice informative video mate. I must have been under a rock or something but I didn't realise we were only getting one show next year 😢😢😢 I'm old enough to remember having to wait years for star wars content and for the most part have enjoyed getting some of streaming shows: mandalorian, Boba fett, kenobi, ahsoka. Not always perfect, but ive had fun. The worst part was putting up with people endlessly whining on youtube. Sure not all of its been perfect (Acolyte) but I've preferred it to the films Disney produced, they didn5 even bother to plan the sequel trilogy out, so I worry about them focusing on films.
Thanks man, yeah I’m in a similar boat, I couldn’t wait for The Force Awakens to come out in 2015. I wasn’t really sure on what to expect from the D+ shows but overall it’s been a fun ride, I’m hoping the sequel trilogy proves to be somewhat of a learning curve for them going forward in regards to new movies 👍
I'm still mad that the most promising stuff was cancelled. Rangers of the New Republic, Lando and Rogue Squadron.
not the best time to use Star Wars Explained in a title XD
I was SO hyped after season two of Mando . They’d won me back , loved Andor , but currently no one in our household cares about the future of Star Wars , and that’s kind of sad .
Just responding to your title. Never watched the video. I will never support disney again. I am long past forgiving.
Me too
Disney has lost all credibility as far as Star Wars concerned. The fans have moved on
As long as consistency is prioritized Star Wars will be pretty successful
just release an M18 old republic trilogy and we'll all be happy
I’m flat out surprised they cannot make a decent movie aside from Rogue One.
A Star Wars reset is easy. One, they have a huge galaxy sandbox to play in. Two, the timeline can be moved. The Skywalker clan are not the only characters in the galaxy. Create new characters, new situations, political dynamics, use the same races and their traits but different motivations. Star Wars KOTOR is a great example of this.
Cut DEI crap out of shows and movies that KK want to bring us. She have to go including all of her allies in Lucasfilm.
Santa is white. Jesus is white. And all space aliens are white (and predominantly male). They just are. 😂
@Gregory11811 no, its just that DEI isnt necessary in a franchise thats been diverse and inclusive from the beginning? why sacrifice the story to make more forced diversity the centerpiece that the rest of any script has to revolve around??? Even if you're a sweet baby cuck and love DEI, star wars is the last franchise that ever needed it.
@@Gregory11811 When you hire writers and directors based on their sex and skin color instead of their skills--that is what DEI is all about, and that's why you get crap like everything Disney has churned out. No one cares about what the actors look like, as long as they CAN act.
🤡
I TRIED EVERYTHING AND EVERYTIME I FOUND OUT I WASNT GOOD ENOUGH
Focusing on movies instead of TV literally doesn't matter. They've learned nothing.
All Dismal Disney will do is try to draw out & delay production of Star Bores projects. Bringing And-Bor & Ahsoka back is one thing. No issues with the actors, but a crap script is what it is! The actors can only do so much to off set that! 😊
there is so much good content coming from the old republic era that is no longer cannon, I dont understand why they dont tap into that where there is a compelling story to long term fans while still being friendly to new viewers since there needs to be no prior knowledge of any of the media. darth malgus and nihilus make great antagonists while still being different and refreshing. or even tell a story about palpatines early days as a sith
What do you saying? Are you saying that Star Wars will get a reboot just like DC. did and just like marvel will But wait, are we going to see Full Potential Anakin Skywalker and the reboot or are we going to see him in the Ahsoka TV? season 2 also i still think their is hope for the acolyte season 2 or some new tv show or movie to continue were it left off
Dear god can we quit with Acolyte thumbnails. I really don't think.
That's getting you more views at this point
Ima make my own Star Wars channel at some point too. Hopefully this great reset will be a good point.
I’m waiting for an “eating bugs and liking it” twist as soon as I heard great reset 🤣
Your commentary on fan negativity/ positivity is spot on!
Acolyte failed because it wasn't KOTR. They tried to appeal to its idea without honoring the original storyline. We never got Darth Revan, Nihilus, or Bane in live action. They could have resurrected Lucas's original plans for the sequels but they scrapped it all instead of tastefully amending it. Sure they probably would have messed it up anyway by the inclusive pandering but it was certainly better than playing each movie by ear. The beauty of star wars is in the concept pf "in media res" which is beginning a story at the end. We knew how the story ended with the prequels, and the joy of it was finding out how the original storyline came to be. It's the lore and the dedication to a fictional universe thats so engaging. They definitely missed the magic of it because it's not just a story of good vs. evil, its the stories about how negligence can lead to the subjects demise- dramatic irony, how even though intentions may be good, we're all capable of succumbing to our own hubris and bringing forth horrible consequences, how one thought to be too far gone could still have a chance at redemption, and how we don't have to accept defeat while staring in it's eyes. Very adult and philosophical story arcs, made PG/PG-13 digestible are what make people of all ages love Star Wars and that's the fundamental core of what they seem to miss, even after they get it right once or twice. that's why it's so hard to make their money back, because it seems blatantly obvious that making the investment back is all they're thinking about.
I got so tired of it that I gave up my Disney+ subscription 2 years ago. Unless they come up with a miracle, I won't be back (same with Marvel)
“If only saying it made it so.”
Just realized Andor had the Kyle Katarn blaster. Sad we didn't get the character too
Star War should not just only be on streaming but also on DVD as well not ever one can get streaming for any reason, and they should care about they're fans
I really enjoyed the acolyte. Best saber fight scenes in decades.
It had some decent scenes. Should have been a movie. Edited to be better. The kung fu fight scenes was new and unique and the lightsabers scenes were actually top notch even tho most people won’t admit it, they just had terrible terrible writing. Hell even the ninja knives for the Carrie Moss kill and the poison was both cool scenes and good ideas if maybe executed poorly.
I’d put my life, and I’m sure many actual fans would too, that if they were to make a legends timeline, and a “what if” from both the prequels and after rots and focus on a lot more lightsaber content and PRIME Luke then Star Wars would be back in less than 4 years.
They should make shows about prequel characters, darth maul, Grievous, savage, count dooku etc
There is SO much content available from the clone wars and rebels that would work well in live action.
They should focus on quality rather than quantity,
One good complete detailed timeline until the return of the Jedi. Can’t believe they haven’t made a full darth Vader show either, SO MUCH CONTENT FROM THE COMICS😭
Mistakes were made. Disney was in such a rush to capitalize on their new asset that they didn’t even catch their own mistakes. In too many cases they failed to see what it was the people liked in existing character’s/stories and even changed the narrative on new characters/shows fans were enjoying. Then Disney blamed the fandom for reacting. In short, the mouse got over eager and went off prematurely… Leaving us all a little unsatisfied
When I talk to people, I find that the sequels have killed the excitement for Star Wars simply because of what they did to Anakin. It was always about the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker. The sequels basically erased the meaning of everything. Without that, what is there to watch? What's the great story if it has nothing to tie into but a name (Star Wars) and not a person we're emotionally bought into?
The problem with Disney Star Wars is that they can only come up with two types of stories:
1. A complete carbon-copy of a movie that George Lucas already made
2. Agenda-driven content that is not character or plot based
Look, no one's saying that you can't have diverse characters, but that cannot be the only detail to focus on. Disney focuses so much on how each character is unique from a DEI perspective, then they do a mike-drop... you need to focus on the plot and cannon-development as well. People want to be entertained (obviously) first and everything else is second. No one is going to pay money to watch a DEI seminar in space.
No fan wants woke politics in our SW shows and films. and the Kathy Kennedy idea of SW women being smart and men being dumb is killing not just shows and movies but merchendising as well.
He has "Explained" in the title.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Two Movies in 2026!?! That seems ambitious, not that I’m opposed. Still, Lucasfilm needs to focus on quality, taking their time to get it right. They should target one good film for 2027 as that will be the 50th anniversary of Star Wars. Great Video 😎👍👍
Yeah I get what you’re saying there! It would be great if they could nail it with multiple movies a year though, like the MCU did for a time 🤔 thanks for checking it out mate 👍
Thanks once again for your time and info.
More Andor please. It’s starts with intelligent writing/story arc. Some scenes looked low budget but look at NH.
If they think things aren't going well because there is too much star wars saturation, then that means they don't realize that 99% of the stuff they've made has been very bad. If they don't get this then there is no possible way that things can improve. So just forget about it. Leave it alone. Really though, you have this star wars universe you can do ANYTHING in, but for some reason they are incapable of making something good. Seems like it would be a slam dunk. People put out good and interesting movies every year, it is possible, I've seen it!
not very high quality story telling with the last show, I couldn't watch it all it was so bad a story. I hope they do better, I have watched star wars for years and would like to see them succeed with new children's G/PG shows
All of those streaming shows were already slated by Iger when Chapek came on board. Disney Star Wars is in limbo currently. The Rey film appears to have been canceled as well.
Just as long as they get keep the prequels and original trilogy and those in between those two, sequels and acolyte can go away
Acolyte drove in the final nail.
Unless it is a hard retcon of 7, 8 and 9 it is just more gas lighting and key jangling.
Disney didn't let Star Wars "breath".
Back in '77' there wasn't much as far as "video"ya know.
We had cards,comics,some books like the Lando series..not much and it built anticipation for some big from "Georgie".
They should have Obi Wan having a "Force Awakens" bad dream and the he wakes up.
There...those garbage movies were nothing but a Force nightmare!
Star Wars will only have a reset once it’s no longer in the mouse’s hands
changing up the presentation won't make up for bad ideas; it's oversaturated with that
Where did you get $280M?
George Lucas left them with a formula that works making stories people love. The many authors of the EU(Legends) got the formula right. Disney wanted their own formula because they think they know better, and here we are.
They need to stamp the new Canon as Fantasy, and start over. They need to just not adapt Legends in anyway, taking from it, sure but Disney just needs to leave it alone. Maybe allow Legends to continue by different authors, but I think that ship has sailed even if Disney did sign off on it.
Those Star Wars films did not make as much money as people thought. They all costed more than what was originally alleged. Also did they push merchandise? Honestly, I don't think so.
Is Klaus Schwab taking over Star Wars?
Lol, I’m so good on that.
No thanks 🙂↔️
Can’t imagine spending money at the theatre to see what amounts to an Acolyte 2.0
Only way this happens is if Apple buys Disney
They lost a significant part of their original hexalogy fans in the new trilogy. Don't blame it on tv shows and streaming, though Acolyte didn't help.
The problem Disney has is not what mixture of small versus big screen they're doing. The problem is, they increasingly suck at telling good stories, and they either don't understand, or outright hate Star Wars, so they are actively trying to twist it into something anti-Star Wars. Literally the same thing has been happening with the BBC and Doctor Who, and with Disney acquiring that, it will be the exact same issue: they'll continue to destroy Doctor Who in the way they've destroyed Star Wars, and the BBC already destroyed Doctor Who.
It's time to remember what makes a good story, abandon established franchises, fire all top management, and get good talent making good, original stories. Not an easy task, but it is the only way any entertainment company is going to make anything that is not completely horrible.
I’m looking forward to Skeleton Crew. Report are that Kennedy is skeptical about it and feels that it doesn’t have enough messaging (woke propaganda). Same sources said she didn’t think Andor was any good and it turned out to be the best thing they’ve done besides R1 and Mando s1/2. So seems like the projects she has minimal interference with are great and the ones she has heavy influence on suck. So that fact she’s concerned about SK is exciting and maybe we’ll get a fun series
Please tell me there’s gonna be a new Star Wars sequel or Luke Skywalker reveals. He has a lost son.
Some Disney Star Wars media is good, like Andor, The Mandolorian, Ashoka...
The so-called “sequels” were a diaster
Oh yea, they're deff gonna have to start over, at square 1, as in, they'll have to rebuild a whole new fan base. The old fans have moved on at this point
Erase the sequel trilogy from existence. What Disney should have done, is a Kenobi Trilogy instead of the sequels or a post order 66 clone trooper trilogy, then do the sequels later, it would have created much more suspense and hopefully they would have made a better sequel trilogy.
Great reset? Hopefully you don’t go the way of Mike Zeroh. I wish they would stop pandering to the audience that doesn’t show up and doesn’t pay for the product
I can see why ppl would cling to an absolute canon, but there is a reason why Batman would probably last 100 years, and Star Wars barely makes it to 50... canon FLEXIBILITY
