No no no, they failed because they weren’t woke ENOUGH.
Next time the force won’t be female, the force will be trans.

Disney is a corporation that likes making money by following trends. If their bean counters surmise that they can now make more money by not following the SJW agenda then they'll go right back to how they used to do things - business as usual.

The possibility that so many huge players in Hollywood would willingly subject themselves to such a public humiliation...Iger, Kennedy, Abrahms - even Rian! - is beyond parody.
Even if you could make a case for it as being best for the long term of the franchise, or even just to appeal to the die-hards, those concerns are microscopic next to professional reputations and egos of those people.

Yeah that’s why Splash Mountain has been rebranded black princess beastiality the ride.
Totally a bean counter move.

The World Between Worlds is canon but this isn't happening.
If anything, it may be a way to have Legends exist "canonically" as an alternate timeline.

All they need to do is attach some black face or metoo to the movies and then they can censor them and say they will remake them but this time even more diverse.

Even if it's true, so what? It's still Disney.

It's too late. Fisher is dead and the rest of the OG cast wants nothing to do with SW.

^ This.
TFA was the most creatively bankrupt avenue they could have gone down. An abject failure of any actual vision by Kennedy to think beyond simply regurgitating what had come before warts and all.

IDK looking back there's a lot of plot threads I hate about TFA. The magical homing space laser that destroys Hosnian and the entire Republic fleet.
Adam Driver killing Han was completely unearned. In both of the following movies even the character doesn't seem to know why he killed Han.

I don't think they need to reset as much as place it 100 years ahead of the sequel trilogy. Make it to where all the systems are in disarray because of a lack of central government. Systems have formed their own governments instead of a galaxy wide collective government. Part of the problem with the ST is that it didn't even make sense that systems would be super on board to join a new centralized government after the empire fell when the Republic became the empire in the first place.
Most of the cast have acted like they're done with Star Wars after ST anyways. Placing it far into the future of the ST wipes the board clean and gives you creative control to do something different without being constrained to previous films.

I doubt Disney really gives a fuck about the opinion of some Internet Nerds. They made tons of money with these movies, so why even bother? We will get a new Trilogy at some point that'll probably plays hundreds of years before or after the events of the last 9 movies, so it hardly matters. Just my 2 cents.

Now I think about it In 2020, yeah I guess they have to strip out some stuff that’s considered non P.C now, so they will probably reboot the whole thing from scratch.

Keeping the empire's collapse off screen was a mistake. The ST tells us very little about the central government's breakdown. The emperor was already aging and deformed when he took power, it's dubious his influence alone was what was held so many systems together. But I can buy that he was self-centered enough to not have a line of succession.

They will reboot so they can make another EP4 remake.

Brie Larson can play Luke
Carrie Fisher's daughter can play Leia
That dude from Solo can come back as Han
Will Smith can play Vader
Go Disney, you can do it!

TFA started the trash pile to begin with by carbon copying ANH, seriously TFA awakens is trash because it didnt do anything original

True or not, it really doesn't matter to me anymore. The damage has been done, the canon has been altered, characters and actors have died, so whatever they do, it's too late. As a lifelong SW fan I was skeptical when TFA came out, I grieved when TLJ came out and I haven't cared since. They obviously don't know what they are doing and I doubt that will change.
How do you come back from decimating the EU, handing over all of your video game development to EA, undoing the end of Return Of The Jedi, rendering the entire OT pointless, divorcing Han and Leia off screen, killing Han, killing Luke, killing Leia, hiding important plot information in Fortnite, handing everything sacred that's left to Palpatine's granddaughter, and as the cherry on top, use the failure and divisiveness of these movies as an excuse to call your fanbase toxic, misogynist, racist, homophobic and 'too white and male'.
Answer: you don't. Especially when you go on to say stupid shit like:
It would be like going to my favorite childhood restaurant, that recently got a new owner, and being served a plate of shit. Then, after I complain, they rinse off my plate with water, and tell me that a new meal is coming that won't taste like shit. Like, sorry, but I still have the taste of shit in my mouth, so I think I'll pass.

This is a brilliant post and I agree with everything but Battlefront 1 was decent and Battlefront 2 is currently brilliant.
I hear Fallen Order is good too and Squadrons looks promising. EA were fucking slow to get going but at least the games weren't a disaster lol
scoobidoo112

Yeah I can agree with that. Battlefront 2 had a PR nightmare of a launch but ended up being a great game, and I've heard good things about Fallen Order.
What I meant was that previously, the Star Wars license was open to many different developers, so you got a large variety of games in different genres and eras from many different studios. I loved games like KOTOR, Tie Fighter, Jedi Knight and Empire at War, just to name a few.
I much prefer that approach over handing the license over to the biggest and arguably one of the most greedy publishers in the world and standing by as they barely release any games, cancel the ones that are in development, and generate record-breaking controversy.
It's just another example of the franchise being mismanaged, and of opportunities being squandered. (Although it doesn't change that BF2 and FO ended up being good games).
JimiNutz
Banned
Yeah again, I entirely agree.
There should have been more games from more developers, giving it all to EA was probably a mistake.
Since all of these Star Wars games have sold well for EA I assume they are going to have multiple studios working on multiple Star Wars projects now and maybe we will end up getting a new KOTOR (or just a good Star Wars RPG in general). I'd like to see a new Republic Commando game. I don't like EA in general but they probably do have enough resources available to them to pump out some more quality games while they still hold the license.

Oh, I know. DC right? Yeah, he leaked TROS through sources but that included a George Lucas Cut and a secret skywalker version of the film which I also very serious doubt.
Maybe it’s true. But it’s ballsy and retroactive. Which is why I don’t see Disney doing it.
