What's the acronym for the upcoming anthology films?
Well, that's actually the Prequel Trilogy
This would be The Gen Z Trilogy
CIS - Cash In Saga

Sounds like there was a widely accepted one. I've never really been that into Star Wars, but this movie's got me all excited. I really didn't need to buy that Sphero BB-8, but I love watching it roll around.

Wasn't that the acronym for the separatists? The Confederation of Independent Systems.

My partner and I did the same thing over the weekend, unfortunately she wanted to finish it that morning and moved straight onto AOTC.
She's of the mindset that the prequels are only bad compared to the OT and discounting them from that they're really just average movies as opposed to awful. To be fair, I did find myself enjoying some of the visuals on AOTC and seeing alien worlds, races, etc... even if they're really boring as packages.
Let's hear the rabid oldEU fans
PT, OT and Disney's Cash-In
I can completely agree with this. I can enjoy my time with the prequels just like with any normal movie. Not classics but far FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR from foodfight-tier abominations
I also like they story they tell, even if the execution is not that great. The animated series expand the whole saga to a wonderful world,lore and overall story for me. Something the OT alone can't do for me

A lot of times you reply to my posts that way, but this time I don't get it. It's not like I was being negative.
I have a very good feeling about this movie. I really doubt it will be anything less than good. And I'm feeling positive about episode VIII. Episode IX is the grey spot.
Regardless, nah, just sequel trilogy. The prequels don't have a condescending name.

I'm unsure about the other two directors. I just don't think they have it in them. But this one is hype and looks so good so far

Trevorrow, yeah...

I need to watch looper. Why were they picked anyway?

Not sure about Trevorrow (I didn't mind JW though) but Rian Johnson has a strong pedigree behind him, doesn't he? Looper was critically acclaimed.

Looper was awesome. Watch it. Dont overanalyse the story tho.

Rian Johnson is a very talented guy. I'm super excited about Episode 8.
Episode 9...

OT best one was part 2
PT ...least horrible? was 3
Therefore ST doomed to have part 1 be best

Looper is the primary resume entry I see people talking about when they want to bring up his "credentials" but one movie is hardly proof of anything. As far as I'm concerned he's still a risky choice and I already consider Looper way overrated.
Just look at Josh Trank. Everyone was absolutely certain he was the next big thing after Chronicle and then Fantastic Four happened. Big surprise, he too was attached to a star wars film before they figured out that no, one hit does not mean good or reliable.
I think the choices for 8 and 9 deserve a little more apprehension than they get. That's not to say that theyll be bad, could be great, but I feel like people are too confident too early.

Well, with Trevorrow the mindset was most likely "oh hey, he's the director of this other nostalgia revival movie that made a truckload of money, he's perfect for this shit ahuh". Rian Johnson, maybe Looper's acclaim had something to do with it.
Going by this thread, the choice for 9 already has caused a lot of apprehension, lol.
It's just a bad angle (and I oversized the head a tad).
Your tag should now be Darth Plagueis.

Johnson is wayyyy better than Josh Trank, and I think Brick also had to have had something to do with his getting picked. At the very least, it shows a lot of promise the way someone's debut film should.

Well I guess Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going to be in it. Too bad he didn't direct e7 and cast him as fin for the #blackwashers

What I dont get is why people are focusing on 8&9 already when we don't even know if 7 will be good yet. Its like people are assuming it'll be good. That's a recipe for disappointment if I've ever heard one.
I remember legitimately liking the star wars prequels movies as a kid, moreso than the original trilogy even. All the criticism and hyperbole around them seemed ridiculous over the past few years.
Well, I bought the movies the other week to rewatch before 7 and, holy crap, is the prequel trilogy bad or what. I mean, episode 1 isn't really that offensive; it's just unremarkable in the way most summer movies are unremarkable, (Podracing aside) but 2 and 3 are just painful to watch. I now regret having these in my collection.
All that said, the actual overarching narrative isn't awful and it's not like the original trilogy is particularly great either. Episode 3's take on a pop culture tragedy- where the audience knows all the points we're racing towards- is pretty cool in concept, but the execution leaves so, so much to be desired. I think if the writing, direction, and acting surrounding Anakin and Padme alone were acceptable, the prequel trilogy would be dramatically better. All the bitter taste from it comes primarily from anything to do with them or the romance.
Re:episode 9 director- I take it Brad Bird couldn't be reached for any of these? He's seriously the perfect choice for nailing this sort of feature.
Not a huge Abrams fan- I've kind of enjoyed everything I've seen of his, but none of it stuck with me. Disposable is pretty much the perfect word for his work.

What was stopping him from doing one of the others?
Well, Incredibles 2 for one thing

Theres gonna be like 20 Disney star wars movies, including spinoffs, he'll have plenty of chances to do one eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney waits like 5 years after 9 and then starts on episodes 10 11 and 12
After Tomorrowland, they probably don't want to touch him for a while. And he is going back to a sure hit of TI2.

Not sure why they'd wait 5 years.
Chezzymann

I dunno, id assume they'd want SOME breathing room between trilogies to distinguish them, maybe focus on the anthologies for a while, but yeah this is Disney so I don't see why they wouldn't just have episode X start two years after 9.

Relax! You actually took it in a different way than I meant. I literally just meant it as a joke, it was nothing at all personal
I see you're not even the most hateful toward the prequels. I respect that. You don't like them, that's fine and even understandable. I do, but I have my reasons and perspectives. But no, I don't get a super negative vibe from your stance on Star Wars, so my post was nothing to do with anything of our... past... interests.
we dodged a bullet
JJ didn't want to do it either. In fact he turned it down once too.
Yup. Sure I know some people somehow see them not too far off the OT. The majority of Star Wars fans everywhere you look feel embarrassed about the prequels. They were just poor. No amount of trying to guilt me and calling me out on hyperbole is going to change the fact THEY ARE FUCKING SHIT.

I wonder how long it will take to release 10, 11 and 12 after 9. Guessing 3 years give or take.
