Besides the fact that a manderlorian and Grogu movie titled The Mandalorian And Grogu is fuckin’ wild because it’s like calling a movie “Luke Skywalker and also Chewbacca”, this is gonna be a clusterfuck since they’re attempting to incorporate a “standalone” feature film into the already-convoluted Mando-Ashoka-Fett TV Extended Universe That Doesn’t Include Obiwan And Certainly Doesn’t Include Andor. So of course I’m 100% down to eventually watch this trash without ever paying for it.

The Prequels were the right movies to come out at the right time. Star Wars for the Toonami generation. Sequels on the other hand had no pulse on the culture. Full on Gen X memberberries followed by an uproar when it slightly turned away from memberberries to capping out with SW + Saturday Morning 80's toyetic cartoon memberberries to kill the whole thing. How do you make a whole rear end trilogy in the 2nd half of the 2010's without an trace of a LOTR or anime influence? Minus the parts in TLJ that reminded me of Zeta Gundam.

I can't speak for anyone else but I just want to see Andor Season 2 and I'm glad it's not getting any more seasons. They can close it out nice and not have to drag it on with serial storytelling horseshit. This is such a weird time to me personally because Star Wars has almost completely tanked (purely for me, if you enjoy the current bumper crop of Star Wars stuff then good for you!) but we got a very decent Dune movie (and it looks like Part 2 is also going to be a winner) and the Foundation show (which is more of a "inspired by the premise of Foundation") actually got legit good in Season 2, so I'm really happy with science fiction stuff in general. But I absolutely could not have predicted what happened with Star Wars over the last decade, it's been a real rollercoaster.

I guess it's unfair to yuck other people's yum or whatever the youths say, but I wish they would just get past this prequel-to-the-sequels era, it mostly sucks. The prospect of years and years of it to come is nauseating. Move the timeline up and try again with some new stuff. I have no high hopes for the rey movie but drat it needs to open up some new space for them I feel like

It seems to me that the post-sequel-era is probably just going to ignore the sequels in the same way the sequels ignored Episode VI. The characters surviving from the sequels will exist and everything, and the events of the movies won’t be made non-canonical, but they won’t matter anymore.

Kylo Ren shows up with another face scar "But I stabbed you." "I wanted to move the scar so it'd look cooler." "But you look fine shirtless." "Widelo Ren was too powerful."

Din rocket packs into view, lands next to the title crosses his arms and leans against it. "& Grogu" in tilted red glossy script font. Grogu pops out of the "O", swallows a frog in one gulp and burps. The marquee twinkles.

They probably should just break the glass and bring adam driver back. I mean that would actually be pretty low on the list of bullshit star wars death reversals at this point and has many obvious upsides

It's hard to back it up because I don't know where they heck you find some of this poo poo, but here's a joke jotted down by a fan in 2001 from Jay Leno which is about as mainstream as you can get https://www.theforce.net/episode2/story/Jay_Leno_Jokes_About_the_Title_71392.asp The prequels being a bad disappointment was a very widespread opinion. They absolutely did well because they're star wars, but they absolutely were not loved. Not until the younger fans grew up. Back in 2005 I was defending ROTS at 14 with my life until I just gave up.

Definitely. I don't see much sequel hate in media, but it's very much mainstream through the internet and just general opinions that they didn't work and largely failed. I'm not even going to pretend that isn't the case. Yeah they made money, but they are not looked at fondly for the most part.

I'm talking about popularity beyond fandom, not whether they were acceptable targets for Leno or the Simpsons, which is a weird measurement to begin with. I'm not saying nerd hate was unknown, only that the majority of audiences wouldn't consider themselves such or feel that way.Halloween Jack posted:I remember that a lot of people hated Jar Jar. Beyond that, the complaints I remember were nerds saying stuff like the Jedi are too powerful, the fight scenes look too good, Maul's double saber is dumb and his technique isn't realistic enough, I hate child actors in general, "poodoo" is a dumb word, just typical dumb nerd carping. Maybe it's my fault for being a nerd with nerd friends. Yes. That's ok, me too. But there's a whole world out there (allegedly) Blood Boils fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Jan 9, 2024 |

The prequels are a strange contradiction where everyone would say that they did not like them yet this did not stop anyone from seeing them or being excited for the next one. I saw revenge of the sith twice in one weekend with my dad and he maintains he does not like it. Recently I got him to concede the mace windu death scene is good.

Box office numbers are a bad argument for this because by that logic nobody disliked Terminator 3 or the Twilight movies (or as CelticPredator said, the sequel trilogy itself is perfect proof of profitability not equating to belovedness lol) when there were definitely strong widespread perceptions of those movies that colored the reputation of those series.

Within a series, the box office numbers for one movie can sometimes be taken as partially indicative of the popularly perceived quality of the movie before it.
