It was alright, and yeah, bonus points for Emilia Clarke. Don’t even know the name of the guy who played Han Solo though. Generic Man. It didn’t ruin many classic characters at least, other than making Lando some kind of furry, which, well, does kind of count as ruining a classic character.
I understand this point, but Star Wars was of a time and place, that being 1977. You can tell a promising young filmmaker to go wild in this universe but they'll still be in this universe, and hamstrung by it.
This is just objectively wrong. That entire chase sequence alone makes no goddamn sense, must less the rest of it. TLJ was fundamentally flawed from page 1, no doubt about it. It NEVER should have passed muster.
Kathleen Kennedy is never leaving, she is too stubborn to leave. Even if Kathleen Kennedy left, she has had over a decade to install loyal underlings in every department under her leadership. The LucasFilm story group's brainstorming of the High Republic with the dry erase board picture was a huge red flag for the type of staff Kathleen Kennedy had on-board, and unless these people are purged from Disney completely, there will never be a change.
More importantly, the vast majority of modern writers have little talent and have had their brains fried by their addiction to social media. There is nothing left in this cultural wasteland, merely the rotting corpses of the past and the bastard children who are cognitively incapable of perspective-taking.
Weren't the horses in ep9?
It wouldnt be bad, could be great. But the next generation isnt offering anything better. It's utter garbage.
That's not true
Quite an eloquent way to say "some middle aged white broad ruined all the fun for everyone, per usual"
You misunderstand my point: I want a new filmmaker to make a new universe--not Star Wars.
It's amazing. So few films have actually been released, and even a couple of the ones that were had major staff changes and reshoots.
It's not even so much that the protagonist was a woman it's that she was a Mary Sue. No one complains about Ripley in The Alien franchise cause she was well written character.
My brother in Christ what even are you saying? The sequels sucked.
Millions of people got into the EU books too, and the LucasArts games. Those did a good job of maintaining interest in the IP and building out the canon.
Yeah I don't know what the issue is with that. Lucas wasn't even that interested in the EU. Probably some kind of creative differences or control thing.
I don't care about star wars but came to agree with this. The fact that a great portion of media franchises that are popular today came from the 20th century is wild. All good things eventually come to an end, the only way for movies to get better is to get over the obsession with nostalgia and create new IP for the future gens to be nostalgic over
I watched a video the other day and there was a recording of Spielberg talking about when they were making the Indiana Jones films and Kennedy would come into the meeting, supposedly to take notes (which she evidently wasn't good at) and while spielberg and co were discussing the story - throwing around ideas - she'd interupt and come up with stuff like, 'Instead of Indiana Jones getting the 'girl' why not let him get a dog instead.'
