That's what makes the characters ridiculous and uninteresting though.The ST characters weren't the problem... The writing was.

Three whole movies where Rey Skywalker is Luke+HAn Solo+Chewbacca+Leia and two side characters that have no affect on the movie unless they're with Rey.
If they insert Rey Skywalker, what the fuck is she even going to do? They have to Captain Marvel her like in Avengers Endgame, where she's needed on another galaxy to keep her busy. Or will they severly cut down on Skywalker's powers?
Finn's dead, unless they win Boyega over with a ton of money. But all potential he had was undone with the STs by being nothing but a generic sidekick.
Poe? He's Wedge or Red Leader but with more lines. He basically would just exist in future movies as "HEy, that's an actor and name i recognize"
Who else is there? Rose? Universally reviled and one of the worst selling toys of all time, and a non-character in part 3.
Everyone else arent even characters, but talking arrow signs, guideposts, maps, and set pieces. Bunch of non-characters with no fans.
I should at least mention Darth Emo. To me, he'd be the least offensive character from the ST to appear in the next movie, since he got killed and can only be a cameo appearanc.... FUCK i just remembered how Disney ruined Force Ghosts too with Yoda affecting shit physically and ALL THE JEDIS EVER lending Rey their powers or whatever bullshit was going on at the end of part 3.
And all these characters are from movies kids do not give a shit about. All that leaves are fans who overwhelmingly dislike the sequel trilogy. So why insert ST characters if it will literally turn off potential viewers?
We have literally seen how no one really wants Sequel Trilogy characters, because their toys did not sell. The sequel trilogy was one of the worst things to ever happen to the Star Wars franchise, because the franchise was an Ever Green property that took up a large section of the toy shelves in stores for over 20 years. Every single year since 1995 or there about, the Star Wars toylines took up 20-50% of a toy aisle, even in years where there was no cartoon, video game, or movie to boost sales. Force Awakens was one of the biggest points since The Phantom Menance in terms of merchendise, but it took over 2 years for that toyline to sell out. Meaning, by the time Part 2 came out (i can't remember its title and too lazy to open anotehr tab to find out), there were still The Force Awakens toys still on the shelves, sharing space with Part 2 toys. And when Part 2 sales also proved to be awful, by the time Skywalker Rises came out toy stores cut their orders and only 10% of the toy aisle had Part 3 toys.
Star Wars toy sales have not reccovered since then and today there's only 8 or 10 pegs that hold Star WArs toys. The ST was a huge fucking failure and licensors are trying their hardest to wring out revenue from this failing property by only making proven sellers: Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy toys.
Why can't Disney wise up?
also, i just remembered i can upload images now. fucking ST was barren of anything cool that can sell toys, unlike the OT and PT.
I wish Disney would just wake up and go “hey the sequels sucked ass. So they’re no longer part of the Star Wars timeline. Let’s try that again but good.”
You and everyone else are proving my point. Write the characters better and they will be better liked... The writing has to come from someone COMPETENT and a FAN of the material... Otherwise, it's empty crap.
And part 2, aka The Last Jedi, was the worst SW movie of all time. NOTHING changed by the end of the story.
The movie would have been better with the new characters in the background. Maverick showed us the way.I agree that with a proper creative team and direction, characters like Rey could have been stellar. I mean we had some great actors such as Adam Driver, Oscar Isaacs (how do you fuck up a movie with both these two guys), Hamill, Ford, Boyega, Benicio Del Toro, Domhnall Gleeson, etc. just being wasted in this fanfictiony, lazy, ill-conceived slop. So much wasted potential.
Anyway I thought I had moved on, but it still hurts goddamnit.
Too late for that though.Write the characters better and they will be better liked
Before TLJ, i watched Star Wars stuff automatically. I didn't watch the trailers to keep everything fresh and a surprise. Avoided all movie threads and any discussion, until after i watched the movie or show myself.Sorry, promised myself after The Last Jedi i wouldn't watch any SW movie again, and i still stand my ground (even owning D+ i left RoS unwatched). The series is where.the good stuff is, both animated and live action
After watching the force awakens and it being a total rehash I didn't even bother watching the other two. Doubt I ever will.Sorry, promised myself after The Last Jedi i wouldn't watch any SW movie again, and i still stand my ground (even owning D+ i left RoS unwatched). The series is where.the good stuff is, both animated and live action.
All the fun got sucked out of the universe by a combination of the PT's need to over explain/connect the past and the ST's aimless ripoff of the OT. At this point a reboot would be nice but I'm not even sure how you go about that.
Boba Fett: "Am I a joke to you?""They can fly now!
"They can fly now?!"
"They can fly now..."
Jesus what a fucking sell. This is all we get from Star Wars, "maybe it might work".Hes hit and miss but at least seems like a creative guy thats actually trying. I'll keep an eye on it
man, that "force kick" and comical boba fett at least fits in with RotJ's tone. ANH had moments of levity with its main characters too, and not just the droids. Albiet the force kick being unintended comedy...Boba Fett: "Am I a joke to you?"
What thread do you think you are posting in?I guess I'm the minority but I found it to be the worst Star Wars movie. The Obu Kenobi show was worse but that's a television series otherwise Solo was just pretty bad enough to be the worst film in the series for me, even worse than Last Jedi.
And man what is Disney's obsession with that ginger girl?
I hate when that happens. I was in the threat about Solo and I must have somehow ended up in this thread from the similar threads at the bottom.What thread do you think you are posting in?
