Marcia Lucas said that JJ and KK have no idea what SW really is. George Lucas thought that TFA was just a rehash of ANH and TLJ was beautifully directed, nothing on his thoughts about TROSW.
Yeah it is crazy how you can misinterpret what the fans want so badly. And that several times. As someone who studied business management I can guarantee that most of my colleagues would have done a way better job. I don‘t know how these people become managers at Disney, LucasArts, etc. They suck at their job. Well actually I know how, connections, but I made my point
@@TheEdog37 Honestly Disney shouldn't have de-canonized the EU and honestly instead of making Episode 7,8 and 9 right away they should have tested the grounds by making a trilogy of films adapting Darth Revan's story in The Old Republic
All they had to do were adapt the EU books, or tell a story set 200 years later, that way all of the EU was safe. Nope. They thought they could do better and look what happened
@@StickmanAnakin And honestly there was no reason not to do that. Most ppl dont know these books anyway so for them its smth new and the hardcore fans will also be dying to see their beloved books on the cinema screen...it was the most obvious choice and would have made more money and pleased more ppl, also cost less money because you dont need a creative writer as you have all the story details already...but apparently, Disney wants to burn money....
You know what really bothered me? They spent an entire movie to show that Anakin was willing to turn to the dark side so he can save/heal Padme. So that he could have the technique and ability to save her. And then in the sequels Rey, with no training, is just going around healing everybody. Just one example of the Disney slap in the face to the lore.
Couldn't agree more, the force healing being like a superpower in episode 9 was absolutely stupid, every part of the lore showed it's effectiveness was limited and required a lot of effort, physically draining the force user
@@StickmanAnakinadd Luke doing a training camp and being mentored by one of the most knowing creatures about the force and hardly being able to lift some rocks, to some kid force grabbing a broom because he got inspired
Was a lifelong Star Wars fan. Still have models, figures, played Star Wars during recess, everything. Nowadays I couldn't care less about the franchise. Disney has killed it. Everything released now is trash and the stuff that isn't a total lost cause is mediocre at best. Such a waste
@@mike9512 Sure there were duds. But during the Lucas times you got the impression that they actually cared about the universe and the characters. That the worldbuilding meant something and that canon was important. Under Disney none of this matters anymore. Characters are thrown away, the Force is just wizardry, canon is disregarded etc.
@logoff7191 Yeah, but Lucas broke the lore himself, and Star Wars has always been, first and foremost, a marketing engine. That's why Lucas brokered a deal to get merchandise and sequels rights. He knew it was always going to be a money engine to sell toys. The podrace in the prequels is not 15 minutes long because of story or character. Leia is not in a gold bikini because it furthers her character or it makes sense in the plot. And those aren't all negative critiques. Ewoks are designed to sell toys, but I still like them. I'm not saying all Lucas stuff is bad or all Disney stuff is great. It's a mix. Always has been.
@MaliciousMallard lots of people have for a long time. It has been well covered. I think Star Wars fans should realize the irony of complaining about sjw's overreacting to things while also overreacting to the fact that corporations want to make money. Example...many Bond films are good movies made by artists and owners who care about the product and want to make something good for fans. That said, Bond has, and will always be, an outlet for product placement designed to make money. The two things can co-exist, even by the owners. The only difference with Star Wars is that they are their own product placement, but it's still product placement. My argument against "Disney is bad" is not all of Disney is great. My argument is that it has always been a mix, and merchandise has always been a central part of Star Wars alongside plot and character.
Imagine spending $4b on something that (if you don't mess with it it) is basically a license to print money, only to manage it so badly that nobody wants to even watch it, let alone buy the merch (which is where the real money always was to begin with). Star Wars is dead. Disney "new coked" it. The difference is Coke, at least, accepted they'd made a mistake. Disney just keep doubling down.
After years hearing friends saying that Andor is awesome, I decided to give it a try. IT IS EXCELLENT, and because I watched The Acolyte, the difference in quality is even more noticeable. My bet for Andor relative lack of success is fallout from other productions. Star Wars viewers were starting to grow tired back then and didn't take chances with their precious free time.
Andor takes no risk and has no real stakes. All the characters are irrelevant due to the fact this is a Prequel about a guy who's gonna die in Rogue One. How is that exciting? Doing the same thing again? Seeing the same battle between the rebels and the empire again? Seeing the same story again? When do we get something new and different?
@Infamous1892 i found the story of how Mon Marthma has to conceal her funding of the rebellion and how she slowly brings her family in on it to evade the emperor's spies enthralling. Something we've never seen before in Star Wars. Straight up political espionage thriller
@@Infamous1892 It's new and different because we get the Empire's pov and the internal politics within the ISB. That was the best part of the series for me.
I love Star Wars, and to me, it will never die I don't think Disney misunderstands Star Wars, I think they just don't don't know how to deliver Star Wars. It's been 10 years, and it's time to move on and give the project to someone else #longlivestarwars
Bro same. I ve tried to see other things like dune or space marine. They are fantastic but i just cant give up the movies that made me like si fi in the first place.
From the top down, Disney needs to clean house at Lucasfilm and try to bring back some of the original creators along with Lucas himself to start over.
Force Awaken was my last film that I’ve watched in the Theater with friends and family. The worst part was the Rey character who had no “hero’s journey”. The next two, waited until it was on TV, but could only watch 10-15 minutes of it and never finish watching either film. FYI: Did watch Rogue One in theaters. Solo was watch on TV to the end.
My mother loved Kenobi, only because she thought kid Leia was cute… and my mother doesn’t even remember that Reva existed. When I was young, my mother would read the EU books to me before bed. “Star Wars bedtime stories” we called it. • Jedi academy trilogy • thrawn trilogy And a few others.
Honestly, I just chose not to even think about disneys anhilation of Star Wars. I just think about the last peak of Star Wars with revenge of the Sith. It was a fantastic creation, not a wasted minute or scene in that movie. Formed by the 5 movies that came before bringing everything together in such a fantastic way. Star Wars is really all anakins' story. His origins, his training, his peak, his fall, his terror, his redemption, and his death. Lucas had a true vision, disney just threw stuff against the wall and went with what sticked
The Originals are by far the best, the prequels aren't horrible but is very funny and meme worthy at times when its not supposed to be but it was still a decent prequel to the OGs besides the kid vader and the weird force explanation. The sequels i think FA was a decent introduction even tho it copies New Hope i was intrested in many of the stories they teased like Finn as a former stormtrooper and possibly jedi, reys parents and who Snoke was. But as you can guess those expectations i had for those characters fell pretty flat in the end😢
Give me a show thats episodic, each episode focusing on a different jedi during Order 66 and their death/escape, and how they have hidden into the universe.
There is only one way to "start" to turn this around. To hire favreau and filoni, give them either a 3 part movie series or a multi season TV show series. Make an announcement of a 5 minute video. That video starting out as Maul is in the out rim and is in a gladiator type setting, his opponent is a strange humanoid being which seems to be devoid of the force thus starting the story of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
Rebels: Meh, but I was forgiving at that point. EP7: Bad and unimaginative, but recoverable. R1: Boring plot and characters, but cool action scenes. EP8: Awful. Took the trilogy beyond recovery. Solo: Pretty decent, actually. EP9: Horrible. Mando 1-2: Ups and downs with nostalgia bait. Averages to mid. Mando 3: Bad. Boba Fett: Didn't watch. Obi-Wan: Just disappointing. Andor: I liked. Ashoka: Like Rebels, but I wasn't forgiving any more. Acolyte: Haven't watched. Also haven't watched any other Disney era animated series besides Rebels. I would say, when Disney bought it I never expected it to be as good as Lucas SW/EU, but I did expect it to be at Solo/Mando level. Should have set my expectations *way* lower.
Unfortunately, noone could've forseen how much they'd mishandle the franchise. I'm a big advocate for that if they simply and lazily would've adated the EU books into movies and series without changing much, they could've easily had a lot of great things going for them, but yeah, they rather wanted to do their own thing for the worse.
@@StickmanAnakin I wouldn't have been the happiest with that, but it would have been much better than what we got. Even completely bastardizing the EU stories and telling them as "new" ones would have been better. IMO, the best approach would have been to do a new story where the EU (up until Crucible I would say) happened at least in very general terms, but new audience doesn't have to know anything about it, all the characters being properly introduced as new.
I'm Gen X and what I learned from watching the backlash to the prequels was that Gen X and older loved them, it was the younger generation, the Millennials who hated them. It was the kids who grew up watching the films 20 times when they were toddlers who were told by their parents that they were the greatest films ever who didn't like the prequels. We had the same hatred of Ewoks that Millennials had for Jarjar, the original series was never perfect but kids who grew up thinking they were was what caused the prequel backlash. They grew up on nostalgia for a film series that couldn't live up to the hype. There was never anything wrong with the prequels.
22:49 not sure where that came from. Ashoka was quite the opposite said, destroying several parts of the continuity. The worst everyone agreed on was Thrawns character destruction.
Disney Star Wars cannot be saved. They took a flamethrower to the very foundations of the franchise. Anything connected to their sequel trilogy will carry the stench of their disrespect. Disney gave the finger to the fans smearing them as bigots for rejecting their tripe & never owned their failures. They have even more contempt for us than we have for them & their SW garbage will always show that contempt.
Luke should’ve been the one to end Palpatine once and for all in the rise of skywalker, and if anyone were to die, it should have been Leia at the beginning of the last Jedi to inspire Luke to come back. They already killed off Han, so there was never gonna be a chance to get them back together for a final scene. The entire trilogy was doomed from the very beginning.
Star Wars will never heal so long as Disney keeps undermining itself. They can’t help but try and turn each show into a cinematic universe, the fans can smell their greed a mile away. There’s no artistic vision left whatsoever. At this point I’d rather have the series die than see it’s corpse desecrated once again.
There is no way in hell Disney can revive this IP. They destroyed it. They felt it more important to check those all important woke boxes than to tell a good story with good characters. We got Mary Sue Rey, Rose, Holdo, and all the men are incompetent and stupid compared to all the women. And lets not forget. "Somehow Palpatine is back".
My two cents on Disney's Star Wars management: they didn't know what direction to give to the saga, and every direction was feared would displease the public and therefore kill any possibility of getting something from that purchase. Well, I think these two points are the main focus, the reason why Disney's Star Wars are bootlegs worthy of Turkish cinema. Lack of courage (or, at least, inability to rely on Lucas's original idea for the sequels/based on the novels released in the 90s) and absolute will to capitalize as much as possible. I'll get the second point out right away: it is the sacrosanct right of any company to recover the capital invested for a purchase and make money on it. I think we all agree. However, what is already noticeable in The Force Awakens is a servile sycophancy to the rules of the market, much more than what happened with the original trilogy: just think of BB-8, a rounded version of R2-D2. This droid is already beloved, let alone a smaller version, which rolls quickly and can even say "ok" with a lighter. The same goes for those marine mammals in TLJ. I mean...heart is missing. And you can see it everywhere: the plot of TFA is an almost exact copy of ANH, the aliens' design is embarrassingly lazy. The relationships between the characters seem to have been written with the sole purpose of placing the cool character on the cereal box and force-selling it to you....see Phasma. The first point is strictly connected to the second: there is no spark of creativity (in a positive sense, while in a negative sense we have plenty of it), nor is there any coherence with what was shown in the previous films. A character can do things we have never seen in six films, but we have to accept it for some mysterious higher law. They didn't reunite the original cast for a single, miserable scene, you even get the impression that Ford went on set, cashed the check and grumbled that he didn't want to return as Solo... and, speaking of the characters, no one gave me anything on an emotional level. Not even hate, for that matter. The only thing they left me with was indifference, or disappointment if you will. I draw a veil over the music: in 20 or 30 years, we will still be here listening to Duel of Fates, The Imperial March, etc. But I bet my remaining penny that no one will remember Rey's theme or Kylo's. I don't blame Williams, but maybe there's a reason why even he couldn't get anything good out of this trilogy... even in the worst chapter of the prequels (Attack of the Clones) there is wonderful music.
Good video. It should be mentioned the criticism for Lucas began before the prequel trilogy with the Special Editions. Many fans felt it was unnecessary to make changes like adding new background characters with CGI, or removing Sebastian Shaw in favor for Hayden Christensen. Worst, Lucas affirms the special editions are the only way the original trilogy should be viewed. That leaves Star Wars fans seeking the unpolished versions not readily available anymore.
Yeah I did think about mentioning the special editions, but they weren't a reason for so many people to actually stop watching Sw i'd say, thus i didn't include them in the video...but good point
there was a Nuance to why episode 1-3 (1999 - 2005) it was loved by Half and dislike by many of the other half. Star Wars was for NERDS the football players would say, but it was just starting the ERA of the NERDS was beginning and many didnt like that idea. Most of us NERDS, Like the movie, saw some flaws and NO ONE worried about Politics back in those days. So it was a NUANCE on the REASONS for disliking. When we realized how important POLITICS are, and the rest of the world accepted the Awesomeness of the NERD, then the movies finally got their DUE. Which was overwhelmingly liked - except for JARJAR and that little annoying "anakin" boy.
One of the issues that I believe was left out when talking about Andor was that by 2022, SW fans saw what has become of SW under Disney's management and largely wrote it off as a failure due to all the previous failures that came before it. We had Mando S1 &2, Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi series, the Squeal trilogy, etc had all soured the mood and expectations of the Star Wars brand as a whole. They heard that it was another Star Wars property and almost immediately wrote it off because of the history of mishandling of the franchise. If a franchise fumbled the bag more than 5 times over the course of 5/6 years, would you expect them to come out with a great product again? Fans were tired of watching the burn pit so they went else where but what was brought out was of actual value but the damage was already done. By the time that word of mouth got around that the show was good, Disney already called in the numbers and wrote it off as just another failure of the franchise. Going off of your Solo movie, the issue with the movie was that we already knew the ending. Han Solo was going to come out of this with the Milenium Falcon, saves the day, and makes a nice getaway. Now this premise isnt exactly bad but the issue was that it was on the forefront of everyone's mind "What's Solo gonna pull outa his butt to save his butt" and sprinkle in plot armor the thickness of a planet, the reconning of the Star Wars lore, dire hard fans that would have gone to see it under Lucas looked elsewhere. I went to the premier of Episode 2 & 3 and those were spectacles as a young teen. We were hyped for Episode 7 and came out of it optimistic and hopeful of Star Wars under Disney. Rogue One made us excited because it was geniunely a nice star wars movie. Episode 8 on the other hand made us go WTF was going on because of all the retconned material and lore of the stars. I went to see Solo but the turn out was rather lackluster compared to the first 3 movies that were put out under Disney. Episode 9 was the nail in the coffin for many if the nail hasnt been hammered in yet. Another key thing is that normal people or normies knew the basics of star wars and even they were turned off of Ep 9 which says something about the direction of the franchise. It's one thing for the hardcore fans to be turned away but as long as the number of normies consuming your media or product is high enough then it doesnt matter.
If the Force Awakens was a sequel and not a reboot then this wouldn't be an issue. Now we got shows like Andor and Rogue One which relys solely on nostalgia with absolutely zero stakes because we know how these stories end before they begin. All Disney has to do is put Star Wars in the title and people love it.
He always wanted to do 9 stories. He has lied so much he doesn't even know what he remembers. But, the decline of Star Wars began with ROTJ with the twins and the second DS. Plot solution could have been a new character referenced with there is another in ESB. Then the DS2 just needed to be the Super Star Destroyer. But it is still a better movie than anything afterwards. The text major decline was the miserable SE. For ESB and ROTJ the changes werent bad. But for SW the changes made SW unwatchable. Of the prequels, the redeeming feature of TPM was at least the overall plot was coherent. Politicians/with manipulate a war to gain total power. Overall the prequel trilogies are awful. As bad as the sequel trilogy is, at least Rian Johnson touched on something original with the possibility of Rey and Kylo joining and starting a new order or religion. Solo is okay, R1 is really good even if the scale of the battle is too big at the end. Plus it didn't need a plot of a built in flaws. There is a design flaw in everything, not everything needs to be intentional.
You clearly put a lot of work into your videos, so it's disappointing that you make factual errors such as which Star Trek film Abrams directed in 2009 and showing The Phantom Menace poster when talking about Attack of the Clones.
I have long asserted Lucas sold the rights to Disney and appointed Kennedy because he knew how much of a pigs breakfast they would make of it, and everyone would get off his back about how bad the prequels were.
Every forgets the holiday special, that crap ewok movie in the 80s, some horrible George Lucas made Special Editions in the 90s. . . The franchise was a docial fad for a few decades. It is trash now. Move on.
The moment I heard that the franchise was being sold to Disney I knew my entire childhood was going to be erased. I naively gave TFA a chance. I almost immediately checked out and haven't looked back since. To me, Star Wars is dead. R.I.P.
25:40 Lucas already fucked up the Prequels. He is the last one who should offer his opinion. Live your last days with that mountain of money you got for your fantasies and admit that you own your good movies to Marcia Lucas and all the bad ones to yourself.
You didn’t even mention all of the movies that Lucasfilm announced that never got produced or officially cancelled, such as: Rian Johnson’s trilogy Benioff and Weiss’s trilogy Taika Waititi’s movie Pattie Jenkins’s movie A solo Boba Fett movie (which got repurposed into The Book of Boba Fett) A solo Obi Wan Kenobi (which got repurposed into Kenobi) A solo Darth Maul movie which would have tied into Solo There are probably others that I’m forgetting
4:36 I wasn't angry at the Phantom Menace, i was so disappointed that my sons didn't get the same Star Wars experience i did. I mean they did through the originals, just not the 'WOW' i did when seeing Vader for that first time.
TBH I’ve become sick of the word Franchise in media. It disgusts me to hear about films talked about this way. What could be a more corporate way to refer to creativity.
I never would’ve dreamed you could destroy the biggest most beloved franchise in the entertainment industry. But Disney and its agenda based corporate types proved me wrong.
Mandalorian season 1 and 2 being good is a COPE. Unless you are a kid, there is nothing good about it. Baby Yoda is just merchendise on screen like the porgs. Mando has video game imortality cheats turned on thx to his armor. Incompetent villains that give the good guys opportunities to win, weak villains that cant pose any danger and are just targets.
I wouldn't disagree with anything you've said here if I'm completely honest. It does get to a point where it's a bit cartoonish how like 5 people can run onto a Imperial cruiser and just kill every Stormtrooper on it. However, here, let me hit you with the ultimate comeback....despite these obvious and glaring flaws...I enjoyed it and it entertained me as it was mostly still true to what I'd like to see from Star Wars.
@@StickmanAnakin I think you liked it because it looked like star wars visually and it reminded you of the star wars games you played. For me, I don't like that. I don't even play games with overpowered characters. Seeing Boba get chased off in the Dark Empire second comic by only 2 stormtroopers, 2 officers and 1 dark trooper is the power level I expect.(Boba only takes out the dark trooper as he escapes) Seeing Boba take on 10 stormtroopers in melee combat, removed me completely and I stopped watching.
Some people liked it as a series of episodic events but of course it eventually became a source to tease other projects The characters weren’t good but they had “potential”. It could have been a good foundation to build upon, eventually leading up to a sequel trilogy to the Skywalker saga. The problem, though, is the sequel trilogy already happened and the outcome is terrible for the OT cast and all the characters in the Galactic Civil War Era. It’s hard to get invested when you know the empire will rise again and these characters were following won’t matter It’s especially disheartening having Luke serve as an important part of the story/conclusion only to know that he’s going to grow up to become Jake and shit the bed. Even if Grogu were to survive Ben’s Order 66b it only really makes the plot of season 2 feel redundant and reinforce Luke being obsolete
U make a load of good points, I just wanna say that even though it might have been below average in plot, it was better than the girl boss feminine stuff we call the acolyte
@@KRobinson-ko1ne I am confused why they didnt just start adapting the comics into shows. Rechast the 3 main characters, maybe dub over them with the og cast for the voices. Or take Lucas outline. Or even do a multiverse like Marvel and pretend sequels are in a different universe and remake them. Ask Rei actress to return if you want and give us a different a version of Rei. Have her be Lukes apprentice instead of female Luke.
Shoulda made the sequel trilogy, starting with Heir to the Empire, in 1999, instead of the prequels. The actors were still close enough to the right age and that's what everyone really wanted to see anyway.
The problem with SW is Disney and since Disney will never understand that nothing will change. Sure the PT had its hateful moments but it was still a GL SW saga epic and sadly the last one we will ever get but the story and characters were solid and still stand up. Disney still doesn't understand what they purchased and not only tripled down on bad content but also attacked the fans. Not a recipe for success.
Simple - George, regardless of his bad dialogue and over reliance on CGI in the prequels, still CREATED and expanded the Star Wars universe. Disney, on the other hand, under Kennedy, decided to retract and cancel out the $4.5 billion worth of IP it spent money on. Ironic how both studios cancelled each other out.
Perhaps, Disney and the SW-Fans should think about one thing: That the "Galaxie far far away" is not having much to tell outside of the original Trilogy. The concept is not really rich in terms of epic storylines and everything of value was already told in the Original Trilogy. Everything after that, was just tributes.
I don’t like sand is notoriously bad, but my friend and I always make fun of, “Are you and angel? And the even cringier, “I’m a person in my name is Anakin!”
The failure to put Han, Luke, and Leia in a scene together in the sequel trilogy is one of the most damaging missteps in cinematic history. Disney's arrogance has only been exposed even more so in the years since. Star Wars is a dead brand and Disney killed it.
Another thing Disney got wrong we're lightsabers, lightsabers were a unique weapon specific to the Jedi they were built by the force as seen in clone wars and numerous fan depiction, that do it way better, on a miniscule budget and that's just sad, The reason only Jedi could use lightsabers was the fact that light does not stop there is no control it just continues to go lightsabers length is controlled by their focus in the force, The only reason Han in the original series was able to turn on Luke's lightsaber was because he was force sensitive,Han was meant to be the next start of the next order so was Leah there are books pre-written of all of this but Disney wanted to disregard old lore and make up their own shit and now look where we are
You're wrong...The Force Awakens was a disappointment. It did, in fact, disappoint. I had to convince myself that I liked it, because I just spent $40 to see it in theaters with my son on his 4th birthday. Rogue One was bad ass, but the rest of the movies sucked. Well, I didn't hate Solo. It was alright.
Whenever Disney acquires or creates A new idea. It starts off good but then when management gets a hold of it it's sours. Take a look at Tron uprising. That was a great series, but when it was acquiring a fan base. Disney shut it down
Nice and fair review of Star Wars where it is today. I enjoyed watching it, but I have not much interest in anything Disney is going to do with it in the future.
I think there's a LARGE fan base for Star Wars, just a tiny following for DISNEY Star Wars Lucas made a money making machine, tuned, preppeped, not PERFECT but Ready... And then Disney insisted on converting the machine from Imperial to Metric...
Yall rewriting history and acting like George didn’t sell it for a reason and that was because of fan backlash. Only reason you can say Disney killed it is because they actually were making content with it unlike George who just simply allowed anybody who felt like it to write a 20 book series placed in the universe creating a EU lore that spun so outta control not even George approved.
The majority of Star Wars content that Disney has created since the acquisition has been hot garbage. It all started with their rush to create their own trilogy, they didn’t have a complete arc in mind when they started it. That allowed a certain director to derail the trilogy and then the following director having to drastically change things in order to make it work by bringing back the emperor. It took what could’ve been something great and ruined it. Since then, it has been a series of hits and misses with it becoming more misses than hits as time has gone on thanks to a certain president’s personal agenda.
I'm an OG fan, I grew up with the originals. I was in my twenties when the prequels were released and I wanted to like them so much, but they were just so cheesy and boring. I didn't even watch the Clone Wars series until the final season because one of my friends wouldn't shut up about it. I've never cared about Anakin. He's not inspiring, endearing, or relatable to me at all. He's annoying, selfish, and arrogant. All he had to do was discipline himself and concentrate on his training. He chose one woman over the rest of the galaxy and murdered children because a creepy old guy mentioned forbidden magic once. I always thought Darth Vader was badass, but he was just a douchey simp that got brainwashed into being a tool for a geriatric politician. I didn't care about the Clones either. The only one I remember is the one at the end that got stuck in the machine or whatever. I don't even remember his "name". I couldn't tell you the difference between Rex or Fives. They were all just Jango Fett cheek swabs like the nameless ones in the background. They're literally human Clankers. Designed, built, and programmed in a factory, just like Battle Droids. #PongKrellWasRight Maul, Night Sisters, and Mando's were the best parts of that show. Rebels was way more interesting and I'd watch it again twice before sitting through Clone Wars again. I saw the sequels once. Never again. Rouge One was cool. Solo wasn't. Mandolorian would be better if it wasn't the Baby Yoda show. I wanted Boba to be better. ObiWan vs Vader at the end was the best part of that show. Ashoka was mid. I didn't watch Andor or Acolyte. Neither seemed interesting, but I'm going to binge Andor soon. Apparently I was wrong about that one and right about the Acolyte.
I'm 28 years old been a fan for 20 years which is scary to think I've been around since Legends was canon grew up with the clone wars and clone wars 2003, saw every episode, saw every episode of rebels when it was airing I was 21 when it ended. In my opinion Star Wars isn't dying there are high and low points. I didn't fully like The Acolyte besides Sol and Qimir could care less for Osha and Mae but it wasn't all terrible like the lightsaber duels and the Cortosis helmet which was awesome. The concept was there but it was poorly executed. So it is a 4/10 for me. Anyways in my opinion Star Wars is not dying. It had a bumps along the way but it's still alive and will never fall. At least in my opinion. I like to stay on the positive side of things but I do have my own opinions on the other shows that weren't that good too.
Disney totally effed up marvel movies ...as and old marvel need ...1990s punisher was dope dark grim ...thats where marvel should taking its movies.. Not this water down Disney crap... The younger generation loves to hate on my opinion with marvel and Disney
If they made profit, then the project was a success in the eyes of Disney corp. It was never about the lore or a good story. Line go up at all cost in the cheapest way. Quality is not in the equation.

@ George Lucas isn’t the Creative Genius he’s pretended to be. Acting like he made everything by himself. Taking all the credit and money.
The rise of Star Wars began and 1977. The Fall began when it was sold to Disney in 2012.
The funeral happened when they de-canonized the EU.
@@TheEdog37 Honestly Disney shouldn't have de-canonized the EU and honestly instead of making Episode 7,8 and 9 right away they should have tested the grounds by making a trilogy of films adapting Darth Revan's story in The Old Republic
@@The_Blue_Otaku that would’ve been good!
@@TheEdog37 Facts
For me, the decline began 1999 with Episode 1.
There's a big difference between StarWars and Disney-StarWars
a great divide
💯
All they had to do were adapt the EU books, or tell a story set 200 years later, that way all of the EU was safe.
Nope. They thought they could do better and look what happened
Literally, if they would word for word pretty much just make series out of the old EU books and just copy paste everything they'd be very well off imo
R rated Yuuzhan Vong War trilogy my beloved
@@StickmanAnakin And honestly there was no reason not to do that. Most ppl dont know these books anyway so for them its smth new and the hardcore fans will also be dying to see their beloved books on the cinema screen...it was the most obvious choice and would have made more money and pleased more ppl, also cost less money because you dont need a creative writer as you have all the story details already...but apparently, Disney wants to burn money....
Disney, the destroyer of franchises.
Walt would be very angry.
You know what really bothered me? They spent an entire movie to show that Anakin was willing to turn to the dark side so he can save/heal Padme. So that he could have the technique and ability to save her. And then in the sequels Rey, with no training, is just going around healing everybody. Just one example of the Disney slap in the face to the lore.
Couldn't agree more, the force healing being like a superpower in episode 9 was absolutely stupid, every part of the lore showed it's effectiveness was limited and required a lot of effort, physically draining the force user
@@StickmanAnakinadd Luke doing a training camp and being mentored by one of the most knowing creatures about the force and hardly being able to lift some rocks, to some kid force grabbing a broom because he got inspired
Was a lifelong Star Wars fan. Still have models, figures, played Star Wars during recess, everything. Nowadays I couldn't care less about the franchise. Disney has killed it. Everything released now is trash and the stuff that isn't a total lost cause is mediocre at best. Such a waste
So everything put out under Lucas was a masterpiece? Every book and film? There are no duds?
@@mike9512 Sure there were duds. But during the Lucas times you got the impression that they actually cared about the universe and the characters. That the worldbuilding meant something and that canon was important. Under Disney none of this matters anymore. Characters are thrown away, the Force is just wizardry, canon is disregarded etc.
@logoff7191 Yeah, but Lucas broke the lore himself, and Star Wars has always been, first and foremost, a marketing engine. That's why Lucas brokered a deal to get merchandise and sequels rights. He knew it was always going to be a money engine to sell toys. The podrace in the prequels is not 15 minutes long because of story or character. Leia is not in a gold bikini because it furthers her character or it makes sense in the plot.
And those aren't all negative critiques. Ewoks are designed to sell toys, but I still like them.
I'm not saying all Lucas stuff is bad or all Disney stuff is great. It's a mix. Always has been.
@@mike9512 No one said that.
@MaliciousMallard lots of people have for a long time. It has been well covered.
I think Star Wars fans should realize the irony of complaining about sjw's overreacting to things while also overreacting to the fact that corporations want to make money.
Example...many Bond films are good movies made by artists and owners who care about the product and want to make something good for fans. That said, Bond has, and will always be, an outlet for product placement designed to make money. The two things can co-exist, even by the owners.
The only difference with Star Wars is that they are their own product placement, but it's still product placement.
My argument against "Disney is bad" is not all of Disney is great. My argument is that it has always been a mix, and merchandise has always been a central part of Star Wars alongside plot and character.
Imagine spending $4b on something that (if you don't mess with it it) is basically a license to print money, only to manage it so badly that nobody wants to even watch it, let alone buy the merch (which is where the real money always was to begin with).
Star Wars is dead. Disney "new coked" it. The difference is Coke, at least, accepted they'd made a mistake. Disney just keep doubling down.
when I left the cinema after watching Thhe Last Jedi I said to my wife "That is the last Star Wars film I ever need to see." and it was.
And how sad is it that that's the reality of the franchises state
I wanted to get up and leave the theater the INSTANT Jake Soywoker tossed the saber over his shoulder. But my wife was there and wanted to see it.
The Last Jedi was a slap in the face to all of us. Rise of Skywalker was a kick in the nuts.
@@claycollins9852 I never watched it, though I'm sure you are right.
LMAO!!! Me Too!! I tapped out in the second movie, I didn't even see movie 3 😂
After years hearing friends saying that Andor is awesome, I decided to give it a try. IT IS EXCELLENT, and because I watched The Acolyte, the difference in quality is even more noticeable. My bet for Andor relative lack of success is fallout from other productions. Star Wars viewers were starting to grow tired back then and didn't take chances with their precious free time.
Andor takes no risk and has no real stakes. All the characters are irrelevant due to the fact this is a Prequel about a guy who's gonna die in Rogue One. How is that exciting? Doing the same thing again? Seeing the same battle between the rebels and the empire again? Seeing the same story again? When do we get something new and different?
@Infamous1892 i found the story of how Mon Marthma has to conceal her funding of the rebellion and how she slowly brings her family in on it to evade the emperor's spies enthralling. Something we've never seen before in Star Wars. Straight up political espionage thriller
@@Infamous1892 It's new and different because we get the Empire's pov and the internal politics within the ISB. That was the best part of the series for me.
Thanks for giving it a try, Andor is literally the best of star wars
@@88ights I am watching it again. I really didn't expect it to be that good.
I love Star Wars, and to me, it will never die
I don't think Disney misunderstands Star Wars, I think they just don't don't know how to deliver Star Wars.
It's been 10 years, and it's time to move on and give the project to someone else
#longlivestarwars
I don’t think Disney actually cares about it.
Bro same. I ve tried to see other things like dune or space marine. They are fantastic but i just cant give up the movies that made me like si fi in the first place.
No, Dizzy is PUSHING an AGENDA. That is why they flushed $$$ down the toilet.
They felt it more important to check those woke boxes.
Totally ignoring the lore breaking problems and the Disney political agenda pushing doesn't make them less true to it's failures.
And when lucas breaks lore, does that not count? Or is it only a problem if Disney does it?
The fan base isn't just divided, it's depleted.
Over half of those that have left, will likely never come back
There's too much out in the Legends area. You could start reading today and not be done for 100 years.
The Last Jedi is not a bold movie. It rips off empire and Jedi, and does nothing with the ideas set up by the force awakens.
It’s almost like it’s TESB, but in reverse and with some of ROTJ thrown in like the throne room scene.
You can always just not consider it canon
@davemac9563 There's Star Wars, and there's Disney Star Wars.
From the top down, Disney needs to clean house at Lucasfilm and try to bring back some of the original creators along with Lucas himself to start over.
That's wishful thinking.
I never bought any of the "reasons" for not liking The Prequels and I LOVED them and had a great time watching them on the big screen!
prequels atmosphere is awesome
Can Star Wars make a comeback? Nope not under it's current leadership they announced a Rey movie that should tell it all right there🤦🏾♂️
*It shouldn't have even started in 1999*
Force Awaken was my last film that I’ve watched in the Theater with friends and family. The worst part was the Rey character who had no “hero’s journey”. The next two, waited until it was on TV, but could only watch 10-15 minutes of it and never finish watching either film. FYI: Did watch Rogue One in theaters. Solo was watch on TV to the end.
Rogue One is the only Disney Wars movie that matters
The last Jedi did far more than just divide the fan base it showed a god could bleed, and now that god is dead!
My mother loved Kenobi, only because she thought kid Leia was cute… and my mother doesn’t even remember that Reva existed.
When I was young, my mother would read the EU books to me before bed. “Star Wars bedtime stories” we called it.
• Jedi academy trilogy
• thrawn trilogy
And a few others.
Honestly, I just chose not to even think about disneys anhilation of Star Wars. I just think about the last peak of Star Wars with revenge of the Sith. It was a fantastic creation, not a wasted minute or scene in that movie. Formed by the 5 movies that came before bringing everything together in such a fantastic way.
Star Wars is really all anakins' story. His origins, his training, his peak, his fall, his terror, his redemption, and his death. Lucas had a true vision, disney just threw stuff against the wall and went with what sticked
The Originals are by far the best, the prequels aren't horrible but is very funny and meme worthy at times when its not supposed to be but it was still a decent prequel to the OGs besides the kid vader and the weird force explanation. The sequels i think FA was a decent introduction even tho it copies New Hope i was intrested in many of the stories they teased like Finn as a former stormtrooper and possibly jedi, reys parents and who Snoke was. But as you can guess those expectations i had for those characters fell pretty flat in the end😢
I’ll bet, the prequel haters would polish George’s knob for a non Disney title about now
Give me a show thats episodic, each episode focusing on a different jedi during Order 66 and their death/escape, and how they have hidden into the universe.
i cant wait to see star wars died out
It would be better off. 🪦
There is only one way to "start" to turn this around. To hire favreau and filoni, give them either a 3 part movie series or a multi season TV show series. Make an announcement of a 5 minute video. That video starting out as Maul is in the out rim and is in a gladiator type setting, his opponent is a strange humanoid being which seems to be devoid of the force thus starting the story of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
Rebels: Meh, but I was forgiving at that point.
EP7: Bad and unimaginative, but recoverable.
R1: Boring plot and characters, but cool action scenes.
EP8: Awful. Took the trilogy beyond recovery.
Solo: Pretty decent, actually.
EP9: Horrible.
Mando 1-2: Ups and downs with nostalgia bait. Averages to mid.
Mando 3: Bad.
Boba Fett: Didn't watch.
Obi-Wan: Just disappointing.
Andor: I liked.
Ashoka: Like Rebels, but I wasn't forgiving any more.
Acolyte: Haven't watched.
Also haven't watched any other Disney era animated series besides Rebels. I would say, when Disney bought it I never expected it to be as good as Lucas SW/EU, but I did expect it to be at Solo/Mando level. Should have set my expectations *way* lower.
Unfortunately, noone could've forseen how much they'd mishandle the franchise. I'm a big advocate for that if they simply and lazily would've adated the EU books into movies and series without changing much, they could've easily had a lot of great things going for them, but yeah, they rather wanted to do their own thing for the worse.
@@StickmanAnakin I wouldn't have been the happiest with that, but it would have been much better than what we got. Even completely bastardizing the EU stories and telling them as "new" ones would have been better. IMO, the best approach would have been to do a new story where the EU (up until Crucible I would say) happened at least in very general terms, but new audience doesn't have to know anything about it, all the characters being properly introduced as new.

I'm Gen X and what I learned from watching the backlash to the prequels was that Gen X and older loved them, it was the younger generation, the Millennials who hated them. It was the kids who grew up watching the films 20 times when they were toddlers who were told by their parents that they were the greatest films ever who didn't like the prequels. We had the same hatred of Ewoks that Millennials had for Jarjar, the original series was never perfect but kids who grew up thinking they were was what caused the prequel backlash. They grew up on nostalgia for a film series that couldn't live up to the hype. There was never anything wrong with the prequels.
Not true, there was plenty wrong with the prequels.
“I hate sand”
Andor was probably the only Disney Star Wars series I enjoyed and rewatched
the obi wan show was such a let down.
I think that was the point.
22:49 not sure where that came from. Ashoka was quite the opposite said, destroying several parts of the continuity. The worst everyone agreed on was Thrawns character destruction.
They just need to stop. 🛑 stop hoping Star Wars franchise is going to save Disney Plus…
Funny thing is, Star Wars could literally carry Disney Plus by itself if they would just do it with some care and thought behind it
@@StickmanAnakinit already is
Disney Star Wars cannot be saved. They took a flamethrower to the very foundations of the franchise. Anything connected to their sequel trilogy will carry the stench of their disrespect. Disney gave the finger to the fans smearing them as bigots for rejecting their tripe & never owned their failures. They have even more contempt for us than we have for them & their SW garbage will always show that contempt.
Maybe Disney should, I dunno, ask George?
You mean he was will to bet everyone else's money on it. He wasn't George Romero, he didn't fund his own movies.
Luke should’ve been the one to end Palpatine once and for all in the rise of skywalker, and if anyone were to die, it should have been Leia at the beginning of the last Jedi to inspire Luke to come back. They already killed off Han, so there was never gonna be a chance to get them back together for a final scene. The entire trilogy was doomed from the very beginning.
Star Wars will never heal so long as Disney keeps undermining itself. They can’t help but try and turn each show into a cinematic universe, the fans can smell their greed a mile away. There’s no artistic vision left whatsoever. At this point I’d rather have the series die than see it’s corpse desecrated once again.
There is no way in hell Disney can revive this IP. They destroyed it. They felt it more important to check those all important woke boxes than to tell a good story with good characters. We got Mary Sue Rey, Rose, Holdo, and all the men are incompetent and stupid compared to all the women. And lets not forget. "Somehow Palpatine is back".
Waiting 3. To 4 years in between episodes was key in og Star Wars Disney has flooded the market with ……
My two cents on Disney's Star Wars management: they didn't know what direction to give to the saga, and every direction was feared would displease the public and therefore kill any possibility of getting something from that purchase.
Well, I think these two points are the main focus, the reason why Disney's Star Wars are bootlegs worthy of Turkish cinema.
Lack of courage (or, at least, inability to rely on Lucas's original idea for the sequels/based on the novels released in the 90s) and absolute will to capitalize as much as possible.
I'll get the second point out right away: it is the sacrosanct right of any company to recover the capital invested for a purchase and make money on it. I think we all agree. However, what is already noticeable in The Force Awakens is a servile sycophancy to the rules of the market, much more than what happened with the original trilogy: just think of BB-8, a rounded version of R2-D2. This droid is already beloved, let alone a smaller version, which rolls quickly and can even say "ok" with a lighter. The same goes for those marine mammals in TLJ.
I mean...heart is missing. And you can see it everywhere: the plot of TFA is an almost exact copy of ANH, the aliens' design is embarrassingly lazy. The relationships between the characters seem to have been written with the sole purpose of placing the cool character on the cereal box and force-selling it to you....see Phasma.
The first point is strictly connected to the second: there is no spark of creativity (in a positive sense, while in a negative sense we have plenty of it), nor is there any coherence with what was shown in the previous films. A character can do things we have never seen in six films, but we have to accept it for some mysterious higher law. They didn't reunite the original cast for a single, miserable scene, you even get the impression that Ford went on set, cashed the check and grumbled that he didn't want to return as Solo... and, speaking of the characters, no one gave me anything on an emotional level. Not even hate, for that matter. The only thing they left me with was indifference, or disappointment if you will.
I draw a veil over the music: in 20 or 30 years, we will still be here listening to Duel of Fates, The Imperial March, etc. But I bet my remaining penny that no one will remember Rey's theme or Kylo's. I don't blame Williams, but maybe there's a reason why even he couldn't get anything good out of this trilogy... even in the worst chapter of the prequels (Attack of the Clones) there is wonderful music.
Good video. It should be mentioned the criticism for Lucas began before the prequel trilogy with the Special Editions. Many fans felt it was unnecessary to make changes like adding new background characters with CGI, or removing Sebastian Shaw in favor for Hayden Christensen. Worst, Lucas affirms the special editions are the only way the original trilogy should be viewed. That leaves Star Wars fans seeking the unpolished versions not readily available anymore.
Yeah I did think about mentioning the special editions, but they weren't a reason for so many people to actually stop watching Sw i'd say, thus i didn't include them in the video...but good point
there was a Nuance to why episode 1-3 (1999 - 2005) it was loved by Half and dislike by many of the other half. Star Wars was for NERDS the football players would say, but it was just starting the ERA of the NERDS was beginning and many didnt like that idea. Most of us NERDS, Like the movie, saw some flaws and NO ONE worried about Politics back in those days. So it was a NUANCE on the REASONS for disliking. When we realized how important POLITICS are, and the rest of the world accepted the Awesomeness of the NERD, then the movies finally got their DUE. Which was overwhelmingly liked - except for JARJAR and that little annoying "anakin" boy.
One of the issues that I believe was left out when talking about Andor was that by 2022, SW fans saw what has become of SW under Disney's management and largely wrote it off as a failure due to all the previous failures that came before it. We had Mando S1 &2, Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi series, the Squeal trilogy, etc had all soured the mood and expectations of the Star Wars brand as a whole. They heard that it was another Star Wars property and almost immediately wrote it off because of the history of mishandling of the franchise. If a franchise fumbled the bag more than 5 times over the course of 5/6 years, would you expect them to come out with a great product again? Fans were tired of watching the burn pit so they went else where but what was brought out was of actual value but the damage was already done. By the time that word of mouth got around that the show was good, Disney already called in the numbers and wrote it off as just another failure of the franchise.
Going off of your Solo movie, the issue with the movie was that we already knew the ending. Han Solo was going to come out of this with the Milenium Falcon, saves the day, and makes a nice getaway. Now this premise isnt exactly bad but the issue was that it was on the forefront of everyone's mind "What's Solo gonna pull outa his butt to save his butt" and sprinkle in plot armor the thickness of a planet, the reconning of the Star Wars lore, dire hard fans that would have gone to see it under Lucas looked elsewhere. I went to the premier of Episode 2 & 3 and those were spectacles as a young teen. We were hyped for Episode 7 and came out of it optimistic and hopeful of Star Wars under Disney. Rogue One made us excited because it was geniunely a nice star wars movie. Episode 8 on the other hand made us go WTF was going on because of all the retconned material and lore of the stars. I went to see Solo but the turn out was rather lackluster compared to the first 3 movies that were put out under Disney. Episode 9 was the nail in the coffin for many if the nail hasnt been hammered in yet. Another key thing is that normal people or normies knew the basics of star wars and even they were turned off of Ep 9 which says something about the direction of the franchise. It's one thing for the hardcore fans to be turned away but as long as the number of normies consuming your media or product is high enough then it doesnt matter.
If the Force Awakens was a sequel and not a reboot then this wouldn't be an issue. Now we got shows like Andor and Rogue One which relys solely on nostalgia with absolutely zero stakes because we know how these stories end before they begin. All Disney has to do is put Star Wars in the title and people love it.
@@Infamous1892 well Andor is excellent, so putting that show in a negative context makes your comment look incompetent
He always wanted to do 9 stories. He has lied so much he doesn't even know what he remembers. But, the decline of Star Wars began with ROTJ with the twins and the second DS. Plot solution could have been a new character referenced with there is another in ESB. Then the DS2 just needed to be the Super Star Destroyer. But it is still a better movie than anything afterwards. The text major decline was the miserable SE. For ESB and ROTJ the changes werent bad. But for SW the changes made SW unwatchable. Of the prequels, the redeeming feature of TPM was at least the overall plot was coherent. Politicians/with manipulate a war to gain total power. Overall the prequel trilogies are awful. As bad as the sequel trilogy is, at least Rian Johnson touched on something original with the possibility of Rey and Kylo joining and starting a new order or religion. Solo is okay, R1 is really good even if the scale of the battle is too big at the end. Plus it didn't need a plot of a built in flaws. There is a design flaw in everything, not everything needs to be intentional.
Rian Johnson decoded not to have Rey and Kylo join together to start something. He just made a horrible version of empire strikes back.
You clearly put a lot of work into your videos, so it's disappointing that you make factual errors such as which Star Trek film Abrams directed in 2009 and showing The Phantom Menace poster when talking about Attack of the Clones.
The trash disney makes is not star wars.
I’ve moved on to Godzilla 🇯🇵🇺🇸
honestly i like the idea of the jedi not always being the good guy or perfect but it was poorly executed in the acolyte .
I have long asserted Lucas sold the rights to Disney and appointed Kennedy because he knew how much of a pigs breakfast they would make of it, and everyone would get off his back about how bad the prequels were.
Every forgets the holiday special, that crap ewok movie in the 80s, some horrible George Lucas made Special Editions in the 90s. . . The franchise was a docial fad for a few decades. It is trash now.
Move on.
The moment I heard that the franchise was being sold to Disney I knew my entire childhood was going to be erased. I naively gave TFA a chance. I almost immediately checked out and haven't looked back since. To me, Star Wars is dead. R.I.P.
25:40 Lucas already fucked up the Prequels. He is the last one who should offer his opinion. Live your last days with that mountain of money you got for your fantasies and admit that you own your good movies to Marcia Lucas and all the bad ones to yourself.
You didn’t even mention all of the movies that Lucasfilm announced that never got produced or officially cancelled, such as:
Rian Johnson’s trilogy
Benioff and Weiss’s trilogy
Taika Waititi’s movie
Pattie Jenkins’s movie
A solo Boba Fett movie (which got repurposed into The Book of Boba Fett)
A solo Obi Wan Kenobi (which got repurposed into Kenobi)
A solo Darth Maul movie which would have tied into Solo
There are probably others that I’m forgetting
LucasArts is no longer the Home of Star Wars. It is UA-cam where the Fan films are shown.
4:36 I wasn't angry at the Phantom Menace, i was so disappointed that my sons didn't get the same Star Wars experience i did. I mean they did through the originals, just not the 'WOW' i did when seeing Vader for that first time.
TBH I’ve become sick of the word Franchise in media. It disgusts me to hear about films talked about this way. What could be a more corporate way to refer to creativity.
I love all the sound effects you add to your video you should add more
I never would’ve dreamed you could destroy the biggest most beloved franchise in the entertainment industry. But Disney and its agenda based corporate types proved me wrong.
Mandalorian season 1 and 2 being good is a COPE. Unless you are a kid, there is nothing good about it.
Baby Yoda is just merchendise on screen like the porgs. Mando has video game imortality cheats turned on thx to his armor.
Incompetent villains that give the good guys opportunities to win, weak villains that cant pose any danger and are just targets.
I wouldn't disagree with anything you've said here if I'm completely honest. It does get to a point where it's a bit cartoonish how like 5 people can run onto a Imperial cruiser and just kill every Stormtrooper on it. However, here, let me hit you with the ultimate comeback....despite these obvious and glaring flaws...I enjoyed it and it entertained me as it was mostly still true to what I'd like to see from Star Wars.
@@StickmanAnakin
I think you liked it because it looked like star wars visually and it reminded you of the star wars games you played.
For me, I don't like that. I don't even play games with overpowered characters.
Seeing Boba get chased off in the Dark Empire second comic by only 2 stormtroopers, 2 officers and 1 dark trooper is the power level I expect.(Boba only takes out the dark trooper as he escapes)
Seeing Boba take on 10 stormtroopers in melee combat, removed me completely and I stopped watching.
Some people liked it as a series of episodic events but of course it eventually became a source to tease other projects
The characters weren’t good but they had “potential”.
It could have been a good foundation to build upon, eventually leading up to a sequel trilogy to the Skywalker saga. The problem, though, is the sequel trilogy already happened and the outcome is terrible for the OT cast and all the characters in the Galactic Civil War Era. It’s hard to get invested when you know the empire will rise again and these characters were following won’t matter
It’s especially disheartening having Luke serve as an important part of the story/conclusion only to know that he’s going to grow up to become Jake and shit the bed.
Even if Grogu were to survive Ben’s Order 66b it only really makes the plot of season 2 feel redundant and reinforce Luke being obsolete
U make a load of good points, I just wanna say that even though it might have been below average in plot, it was better than the girl boss feminine stuff we call the acolyte
@@KRobinson-ko1ne
I am confused why they didnt just start adapting the comics into shows. Rechast the 3 main characters, maybe dub over them with the og cast for the voices.
Or take Lucas outline. Or even do a multiverse like Marvel and pretend sequels are in a different universe and remake them. Ask Rei actress to return if you want and give us a different a version of Rei.
Have her be Lukes apprentice instead of female Luke.
Shoulda made the sequel trilogy, starting with Heir to the Empire, in 1999, instead of the prequels. The actors were still close enough to the right age and that's what everyone really wanted to see anyway.
The problem with SW is Disney and since Disney will never understand that nothing will change. Sure the PT had its hateful moments but it was still a GL SW saga epic and sadly the last one we will ever get but the story and characters were solid and still stand up. Disney still doesn't understand what they purchased and not only tripled down on bad content but also attacked the fans. Not a recipe for success.
Simple - George, regardless of his bad dialogue and over reliance on CGI in the prequels, still CREATED and expanded the Star Wars universe. Disney, on the other hand, under Kennedy, decided to retract and cancel out the $4.5 billion worth of IP it spent money on. Ironic how both studios cancelled each other out.
Perhaps, Disney and the SW-Fans should think about one thing: That the "Galaxie far far away" is not having much to tell outside of the original Trilogy. The concept is not really rich in terms of epic storylines and everything of value was already told in the Original Trilogy. Everything after that, was just tributes.
I don’t like sand is notoriously bad, but my friend and I always make fun of, “Are you and angel? And the even cringier, “I’m a person in my name is Anakin!”
The failure to put Han, Luke, and Leia in a scene together in the sequel trilogy is one of the most damaging missteps in cinematic history. Disney's arrogance has only been exposed even more so in the years since. Star Wars is a dead brand and Disney killed it.
It’s sad that Disney has managed to completely kill the franchise.
Another thing Disney got wrong we're lightsabers, lightsabers were a unique weapon specific to the Jedi they were built by the force as seen in clone wars and numerous fan depiction, that do it way better, on a miniscule budget and that's just sad, The reason only Jedi could use lightsabers was the fact that light does not stop there is no control it just continues to go lightsabers length is controlled by their focus in the force, The only reason Han in the original series was able to turn on Luke's lightsaber was because he was force sensitive,Han was meant to be the next start of the next order so was Leah there are books pre-written of all of this but Disney wanted to disregard old lore and make up their own shit and now look where we are
You're wrong...The Force Awakens was a disappointment. It did, in fact, disappoint. I had to convince myself that I liked it, because I just spent $40 to see it in theaters with my son on his 4th birthday. Rogue One was bad ass, but the rest of the movies sucked. Well, I didn't hate Solo. It was alright.
Hayden playing as Anakin was a big thing? Sheesh.
I checked out with the prequels so by the time Disney rolled in, I was already disengaged.
Ah yes, let’s show the literal embodiment of selfishness and hate as the good guys. Perfection.
Shilling for Disney i see
Whenever Disney acquires or creates A new idea. It starts off good but then when management gets a hold of it it's sours. Take a look at Tron uprising. That was a great series, but when it was acquiring a fan base. Disney shut it down
So, it seems Star Wars takes one step forward and then two steps back. We should have another step forward soon, but then prepare for two steps back!
Nice and fair review of Star Wars where it is today. I enjoyed watching it, but I have not much interest in anything Disney is going to do with it in the future.
I think there's a LARGE fan base for Star Wars, just a tiny following for DISNEY Star Wars
Lucas made a money making machine, tuned, preppeped, not PERFECT but Ready...
And then Disney insisted on converting the machine from Imperial to Metric...
Star Trek - Into Darkness was the second film in the rebooted trilogy.
Star Wars is dead. It's never gonna get any better. Don't look for It. Be happy for what you got.
There was no rise. Thee were a couple of moments where it stopped falling briefly but the trajectory has always been going down.

RIP Star Wars
+1 Insightful
I dont recall any hate for Star Wars. I recall a lot of hate for Disney. completely self inflicted and deserved because of their utter incompetence.
Yall rewriting history and acting like George didn’t sell it for a reason and that was because of fan backlash. Only reason you can say Disney killed it is because they actually were making content with it unlike George who just simply allowed anybody who felt like it to write a 20 book series placed in the universe creating a EU lore that spun so outta control not even George approved.
The majority of Star Wars content that Disney has created since the acquisition has been hot garbage. It all started with their rush to create their own trilogy, they didn’t have a complete arc in mind when they started it. That allowed a certain director to derail the trilogy and then the following director having to drastically change things in order to make it work by bringing back the emperor. It took what could’ve been something great and ruined it. Since then, it has been a series of hits and misses with it becoming more misses than hits as time has gone on thanks to a certain president’s personal agenda.
This is a very good video good job
Thanks a lot :D
You forgot to mention they disregarded all the old lore clone wars Old Republic Disney disregarded all of it that's where the divide happened
Just reboot it . ..... bruh
I'm an OG fan, I grew up with the originals. I was in my twenties when the prequels were released and I wanted to like them so much, but they were just so cheesy and boring. I didn't even watch the Clone Wars series until the final season because one of my friends wouldn't shut up about it.
I've never cared about Anakin. He's not inspiring, endearing, or relatable to me at all. He's annoying, selfish, and arrogant. All he had to do was discipline himself and concentrate on his training. He chose one woman over the rest of the galaxy and murdered children because a creepy old guy mentioned forbidden magic once. I always thought Darth Vader was badass, but he was just a douchey simp that got brainwashed into being a tool for a geriatric politician.
I didn't care about the Clones either. The only one I remember is the one at the end that got stuck in the machine or whatever. I don't even remember his "name". I couldn't tell you the difference between Rex or Fives. They were all just Jango Fett cheek swabs like the nameless ones in the background. They're literally human Clankers. Designed, built, and programmed in a factory, just like Battle Droids. #PongKrellWasRight Maul, Night Sisters, and Mando's were the best parts of that show.
Rebels was way more interesting and I'd watch it again twice before sitting through Clone Wars again.
I saw the sequels once. Never again.
Rouge One was cool. Solo wasn't. Mandolorian would be better if it wasn't the Baby Yoda show. I wanted Boba to be better. ObiWan vs Vader at the end was the best part of that show. Ashoka was mid. I didn't watch Andor or Acolyte. Neither seemed interesting, but I'm going to binge Andor soon. Apparently I was wrong about that one and right about the Acolyte.
I was there, the birth and the death of it. I feel empty…
Star Trek : Into Darkness was released in 2013, not in 2009.
Wow praise for J J Abrams destruction of star trek makes me seriously question your sanity and my ability to waste time listening to you.
Not surprised that JJ fucked that too, was just going off of what I was told, dont have a clue about it to be frank
I'm 28 years old been a fan for 20 years which is scary to think I've been around since Legends was canon grew up with the clone wars and clone wars 2003, saw every episode, saw every episode of rebels when it was airing I was 21 when it ended. In my opinion Star Wars isn't dying there are high and low points. I didn't fully like The Acolyte besides Sol and Qimir could care less for Osha and Mae but it wasn't all terrible like the lightsaber duels and the Cortosis helmet which was awesome.
The concept was there but it was poorly executed. So it is a 4/10 for me.
Anyways in my opinion Star Wars is not dying. It had a bumps along the way but it's still alive and will never fall. At least in my opinion. I like to stay on the positive side of things but I do have my own opinions on the other shows that weren't that good too.
I like the first three and rogue one. The first two in particular. 4&5 if I've left any doubt, the rest exist to sell toys and lunchbox.
Disney totally effed up marvel movies ...as and old marvel need ...1990s punisher was dope dark grim ...thats where marvel should taking its movies..
Not this water down Disney crap...
The younger generation loves to hate on my opinion with marvel and Disney
If they made profit, then the project was a success in the eyes of Disney corp. It was never about the lore or a good story. Line go up at all cost in the cheapest way. Quality is not in the equation.
I wouldve rather had Todd McFarlane and Quinton Tarentino running Star Wars,Lucas was already rich af but chose the dark side
I'm a toxic fan and I'm ready to do my part.
The series was declining before "wokeness." Simply having a female protagonist or LGBT characters doesn't make a story "woke."
Not woke but toleracy
@cibularas3485 People will defend anti-environmentalism, furryphobic and narcissistic messages, but "tolerancy" is too much. -_-
