Don't worry. He's in talks for a Star Wars trilogy. Just wait till you see what he can do with that curved LED screen thing they use for backdrops

My fervent wish is that someone would give Neil Breen like a low 7 figures professional indie movie budget, and he could fully realize his vision. Let him shoot on film again or at least pro-grade digital, with real sets, locations that aren’t a community college, and professional actors.

I kinda feel like he would still do it all the same regardless of budget. Like it’s all a stylistic choice

Wacky fan-fiction characters is the best part of Star Wars, especially different authors' pet characters having slap fights in the old EU material. It's action figures going on adventures in the playground at recess.

Oh yeah he would make all the same terrible creative choices and it would just revolve around his character being a god-like savior of humanity again. But it would at least resemble a real movie and be a lot more entertaining than the sub-YouTuber quality green screen poo poo he’s making now.

Shocking if true.

I do feel like he’s been phoning it in more and more lately though. Maybe he’s finally becoming aware that he’s a joke and just leaning into it. Cade The Tortured Crossing just feels extremely lazy.

lol the finally the backstory to that random lady Ashoka fought in Mando season 2 for some reason

Filoni is just madly in love with his lovely fan-fiction characters. He’ll keep pushing them until the ever diminishing returns force Disney to make him stop. He had a few good ideas for salvaging some sort of coherent story from George Lucas’ terrible prequel world building, but he’s now completely creatively spent.

She's really the biggest question mark I have about anything related to disney star wars. There had to have been many discussions about adding her in somehow. But for some reason they never wanted to, and I'm so curious as to why.

"Luke Skywalker does not gently caress" seems to be a Disney mandate.

They hosed up Luke’s character so badly that I can’t really imagine them adding a wife that he abandons on top of the existing poo poo pile.

All paths lead to the narrative dead end of the sequel trilogy.

No, it's what George Lucas wrote, and it's because the Jedi Order is a celibate priesthood.

the Jedi order being celibate bureaucracy monks was always stupid. bring on luke skywalkers wife I don't remember anything about, I say. at least she's from the era where they made a lot of cool cross-section drawings of spaceships and robots

The Jedi being an actual established government peacekeeping force with its own headquarters and academy in the republics capital was always pretty darn stupid. Far less cool than it just being scattered warrior monks taking on apprentices as they go like I always assumed it was before 1999 (with Luke in the EU starting a centralized academy himself to bring the Jedi back from extinction, not just him going back to business as usual)

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Lucas made the Jedi ridiculously celibate yet also killed almost all the Jedi until Disney decided it'd be more profitable if actually a ton of Jedi actually survived. Also he had a vagina monster swallow up Boba Fett.

Lucas may have weird views on sex is what I'm saying.

The prequels are about Anakin trying really hard not to gently caress Natalie Portman but Portman keeps trying to make him wanna gently caress her and then when he does he turns evil and the galaxy explodes and his whole gentlemen’s club gets disbanded.

Edit: wait actually Anakin was always trying to gently caress Natalie Portman and she kept going “hmmmm, nah” after not quite finishing a handjob. This changes everything

Anakin seemed like a poo poo head from the start of the second movie, so it just sort of seemed like the story of a shithead who continues to be a shithead.

The prequel trilogy was a morality tale about the dangers of single motherhood and why a strong nuclear family with a male breadwinner and trad wife are optimal

I thought a big part of the prequels is how the jedi are wrong about them not having relationships. Like it was the a big example of the jedi order's extreme rigidity. If they'd been cool with him loving, he would have never needed to start breaking rules.

They were ok with loving, they had a problem with close emotional bonds and emotional interdepency, exactly the opposite of actual monastic orders.
