Yes but I think most of it should be decanonized

Keep Rogue One, Andor, Skeleton Crew, Book of Boba Fett and The Mandolorian, those are the only stuff I enjoyed from Disney Star Wars outside of thier animated efforts. We shall see how The Mandolorian And Grogu does but everything I seen of it made me more positive on it

I'm watching Skeleton Crew right now. I think I'm on the 3rd or 4th episode and I'm finding it kind of mid. I found Ahsoka better.

I think de-canonize all of it and just canonize Legends. I had an idea how they could do this by messing around in the World Between Worlds and just going to an alternate universe or timeline where all the old EU shit is back or at least most of it. Definitely, definitely canonize both KOTOR games.

Rogue One honestly isn't as good as people make it out to be. If you watch Rogue One immediately after Andor, the difference in quality (especially the dialogue) is pretty stark. It has a pretty good third act, but that's it.

It's also hard to watch Rogue One these days and not see Cassian as the real protagonist.

I watched Rogue One after Andor as well and yeah, the change is stark and honestly it wasn't worth watching. It was pretty bad with the MCU humour and goofy blind guy. Had to watch the original trilogy after as a chaser. I probably won't bother with Star Wars any more though if they make the theatrical versions available, I would rewatch. Lucas added in some really silly CGI to the original trilogy that bugged me on the rewatch.

Star Wars announced their 2027 event

Here's the art.

That could be a good sign imo(Han Solo is missing though)

Canonize all of the extended universe, un-canonize the new trilogy.

Really, it's not like Disney/ Lucas Arts is going to undo the 'cannon' that is already there. They may as well just work with what they have and try and course correct things.

If you go to YouTube and watch lore videos, it's always about the the Legends.

Mark Hamill is still alive.

But he's such a tosser now I don't think I could stomach it

Get Hayden back on it properly!





He seems to actually like it, which helps

 

[JimmyRustler]

They should... and then just leave the franchise be. Modern day Hollywood is simply unable to make something worthwhile with Star Wars.

 

[FMN]

I remember feeling like everyone had lost their minds back when even episode 7 came out. It was clear that Disney had no good idea about the direction to take the franchise and people will clap for nostalgia for only so long.

Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars, Hamil tried to warn him. The execs at Disney thought he wrote an amazing SW movie, but all he did was write a lecture about the rich and powerful while being a rich guy himself. They have no self awareness.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Yes. The whole premise was dumb. We should have seen a gradual decline of the empire (like you see in the manodlorian).

Instead of hey the empire is back while copying the plot from the original trilogy. Was super lazy.

I wish we could open a class action lawsuit against KK. The true evil in the Star Wars universe.

 

[Kacho]

I think a dramatic move like that is needed to win back goodwill from fans. They also have to recanonize the EU.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Start with a slice of life show of Luke training his grandkids and the next line of jedis just to get the real Hamil in. They can then work forwards and backwards from there.

Disney when contemplating the fate of Star Wars these days

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I finished it and it just didn't click for me.

But wait I have another unpopular opinion.... Andor is boring AF. I think I just watched three episodes in a row that had no action in it. When does this get to feel like Star Wars somewhat?

 

[DaciaJC]

As someone who doesn't really give two shits about SW one way or the other: make more stuff like Andor. I don't think it's very surprising at all that when the franchise finally tried on some big boy pants and delivered a gripping and grounded narrative with relatable characters and plausible drama, the result really resonated.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I like The Last Jedi but yes.

They gutted the original EU stuff for these movies and they barely lasted over a decade.

 

[AJUMP23]

I like The Last Jedi but yes.

Anyone who likes Star Wars has autism tbh. It's all a giant toy commercial.

I always found it funny that when Disney bought the IP, people were super excited due to everyone hating the Prequels at the time. Now almost ten years have passed for the Sequel Trilogy and I hardly see anyone praise the films, they are still shit. I have always hated The Farce Awakens

I don't hate everything that is Disney Star Wars since there has a couple of things I have loved but I miss the Star Wars when Lucas was in control of. I really loved the direction and how unique the OT, PT and The Clone Wars are especially in setting. And I like that he tend to take risks. As I said before I might like Disney Star Wars but I feel lot of the stuff is just super safe. I did like Maul Shadow Lord when it comes to recent Star Wars. We shall see on that Mandolarian and Grogu movie

Edit - But I found it really funny how they are just aiming Star Wars at everyone in the fanbase not only the OT Crowd but the PT Crowd. As someone who love both but prefer the PT, I remember how Disney was fine with the marketing of The Force Awakens shitting on anything Prequel. I know lot of PT fans who refuse to watch anything of Disney Star Wars due to this. So I think the pandering to PT fans now is rather hypocritical of them too
