She isn't wrong, coming up with things is hard to be sure. Coming up with them as fast as humanly possible because the field cannot be left fallow for one second longer than necessary makes it even harder. Good luck w/ this hell of your own making KK & JJ

If only Kennedy had had some time over the course of the past 5 movies to develop characters and plotlines that could be explored in future Star Wars movies.

Be on the lookout, suspect is an unidentified black sand male, age 18-45, possibly armed and dangerous.

When you need a good brain to come up with things to put in your movie, my advice is definitely going to be to hire chris terrio and JJ to get their crayons out and go to town

They will make Dave Filoni oversee all future lore. Dave is also constantly wearing an earpiece and you can just barely hear Lucas' voice coming from it.

It's not like marvel movies are based on the comics in any kind of thematic or plot sense though. Infinity Gauntlet in comics is wildly different from the movies.

Showdown in the Galaxy Era.


I'm choosing to read this as a great burn on Benioff and Weiss.

But also, yeah, boo-loving-hoo. Not only are there decades worth of random novels, video games, comics, and other EU poo poo to try and mine for the handful of decent story ideas in those, it's Star Wars: a pastiche of pretty much every popular genre ever. It can be or do pretty much whatever it wants and the setting would support it.

No one involved has the time or ability to read a book. But even if they did, the remotest possibility of having to pay royalties to a rando would render reading actively forbidden

Lol just rip off some Japanese movie like Lucas did. Rogue One lifted from Seven Samurai because Edwards is the only person who gets what makes these movies good.

What made the original movies good was novelty. Rogue One lacks a single original idea in the whole film. It’s like a pointlessly accurate cover song.

It’s time to strip mine the other famous Japanese properties so episode X features a lot of small monsters being collected and battled, while XI is a kaiju film. XII is somehow a remake of Your Name.

Not to mention the ethical problem of making stormtroopers into nameless child soldiers. You can't keep pretending the enemies are true-believer space Nazis when they're explicitly child-slaves forced into combat.

I would say those are both true-believer space Nazis, as well as explicitly child-slaves forced into combat, and that scene is still one of the most shocking and uncomfortable in the entire saga.

To appeal to kids, the next Star Wars thing will just ripoff Naruto.

Now off to edit the Force powers article on Wookiepedia to explain why Jedi and Sith hold their arms straight back while Force running.
