Oh how fucking sad it is if they need to recycle old EU lore after their "original" content was shallow at best.Spoiler: the remnants of the Galactic Empire are the antagonists. Oh, also Sith.

They just steal the ideas and retcon them into their inferior writings and works. Then slap the Disney canon badge on it.

It was her lovely shoulders/collar that stood out for me in TFA. The costume accentuated. It was like an indication she would be carrying the franchise going forward.
I started rewatching the Sequels and am developing a greater appreciation for Poe Dameron.

I fear how they will (further) handle Thrawn.
I loved him in Rebels, but they blatantly used the term "heir of the Empire" in Ahsoka's trailer. Like, come on, you are just pissing in our open mouths right now.
That said: any idea when in the timeline will thenseries take place?

Disney stuff is becoming easier and easier to ignore.
I have to admit it's a bit sad no longer having any big movie franchise to look forward to, but at least there's still some interesting fantasy/sci fi book series to follow.
Not only that, but IMO it makes all these post EP6 pre EP7 content inherently unexciting because we know the crap it's all leading up to.
All this Mandalorian timeline, the whole "new republic stuff", everything related to the Jedi., etc. Everything post Ep6 is basically just leading up to depressed Luke drinking green milk, the new Republic being blown up by essentially a new death star because JJ is incapable to write something original, a new group of heroes no one gives a shit about, stuff like: "sigh, somehow .... Palpatine has returned" and "I'm all the sith....and I'm all the Jedi!!!!", daggers that looks like the wreckage of the Death Star, etc.
At this point the only thing that could get me remotely excited about Star Wars is a whole new story taking place hundreds of years before or after the OT. And even then Disney will probably just fuck it up.

So much this. Mandalorian is a great example pointed out by you. I geniunely was excited like a kid when Luke showed up at the end of S2. The whole sequence was perfect. It was THE Luke Skywalker. The hero of the Republic, powerful Jedi general who destroyed the Death Star, took part in countless battles and campaigns of the civil war. He was such a badass that Moff Gideon shat his pants when he saw a single X-Wing coming to the rescue. Even the dodgy deepfake didn't matter.
And afterwards i got TLJ flashbacks...
Never forget Mark tried to warn us...

This fucking hurts. Who in their right mind thought it's a great idea to off them one by one and not give us a single scene together.
My head canon is that they dodn't want to kill off Leia, cause girl power etc, but they bet on the wrong horse and Carrie's death made them scramble for a solution.

Exactly, imagine how more exciting the ending of Mando S2 would have been without the added knowledge of what happens in the sequels.

lol yeah I guess. Though if they had released Mandalorian first there's a chance they'd have let Favreau/Filoni make the new trilogy, and while that wouldn't have guaranteed that it was going to be good, it would probably have been better than the shit we got.

Han was going to die in 7 regardless of what anyone said. Harrison has wanted him dead since 6, only getting veto'd by Lucas because "dead Han doesn't sell toys". I imagine they had to spend a pretty penny to get his cameo in 9. He's made it clear he doesn't hold the role in regard the way he does Indiana Jones or Deckard.

I like to think that the expanded universe of old is an alternate universe somewhere that can be accessed in the World Between Worlds but then I heard that the BWB doesn't work that way, sadly.

I knew that was probably going to happen just because of Harrison Ford, but the way he went out was lame (like everything else in the ST except BB8). They had one miracle chance of Ford being in the right mood and Fisher still being alive to have all 3 together, and they blew it. Saving Luke to bait us into The Last Movie I Paid For is an amazing way to use up the opportunity of a lifetime.

The only way they would get rid of her is if her replacement is a non-white and/or non-male, preferably both.

I was done with star wars after The Last Jedi. Haven't watched anything related to it afterwards.

Yeah, nothing new or surprising.
Still they could have made the fans happy and honor his request at the same time.

They are a company that leaned hard into wokeness by lack of leadership that has board members that want results but need to save face at the same time. Reports are that Kathleen has been in many heated talks with her superiors.
She is a high profile public figure. They wont just outright fire her. It will be a planned .. lower her presence for a year then she resigns or "leaves" .

Calling it now, Rey has had a force child, and this child is actually "the chosen one", not Anakin
Finished rewatching The Last Jedi. Not quite as dismal in tone as TFA. There is something really sinister in these movies about the portrayal of The First Order threat and the civilization in which it flourishes. It's a good lesson to place in for viewers to take away in challenging Pollyanna blinders. And with Poe/Holdo that not all situational info may be accessible, making it important not to be rash in judgements with more informed allies who disagree, or overreact to responses to that disagreement.
That scene with Snoke/Rey/Kylo is one of the best in the entire Star Wars series cinematically. Raw, and not overly floushished. Embattled. Good portrayal of clairvoyance to start it.
It'll be interesting to see how they adapt the things Rey experienced and learned into the new series.

This is pretty much it in a nutshell. I think that to save face, they don't appreciate the damage to their own brand. If it was my money, I'd want course-correction immediately. Whether it was my error or not.

It's really impressive when Disney can make a worse trilogy than the SW prequels. How embarrassing.

The Sequel Trilogy should have been set a couple hundred years in the future. Scrap everything, start from scratch. Sure get some fan service with some statues of previous characters or whatever. Or some endearing flashbacks that don't humiliate and shit on Luke, Han & Leia.
But most importantly get a collective vision connecting all 3 movies into a unified logical product.

Well Carrie is dead and SW is dead for Ford, so that's gonna be a sad timeline

Rey trains him in the Lego Christmas Special which is canon I believe. Doubt that Boyega wants to come back though.

I used a 1000 year old dagger and lined it up with a new construction project by my house and it pointed me in the direction that this won't be any good at all.

They truly did his character dirty. Starting with Ryan Johnson... And JJ should have KEPT his Force sensitivity scene in the final movie. Dumbass!

I feel that everything after 1983 is more or less crap fan fiction. Even they guy who created the thing didn't understand why it was so successful. I mean, no one watches The Empire Strikes Back and thinks that Darth Vader built C-3PO do they? Those first 3 films were special and were products of their time. Everything else is all made up after the fact and crammed in. They are just films, none of it is real! The fact that The Crystal Skull sucks doesn't mean that Raiders is no longer a great movie.
It will be interesting to see how this crashes. Will it be shit in a prequel way, or a sequel way?

I don't know what's going through their heads but they really insist on people sticking with the sequel trilogy and its characters.
I really want a movie that explores a whole new era. Something like the Old Republic or a hundred or a couple of hundred years in the future from the sequel trilogy with new characters and especially new enemies.
