Motherfucker Star Wars takes place in a galaxy that has at least 10 planets but these people keep running into each other like it's a small village

it might just be because it's being presented in a bullet point list of what happens but man the plot of this sounds kinda...scattered

To be fair you could probably do the same with empire strikes back and make it also seem scattered

The most interesting suggestion I heard about a Boba Fett movie was to actually have other characters be the protagonists, but they're being hunted by Fett. So you have this Terminator/Predator-esque chase movie instead of actually giving him character and robbing the mystique.

Boba Fett is an irredeemable gently caress up who died like a bitch to a blind man

On the contrary, just about every time they introduce new characters into the backstory of people we know, they die sometime before the end of these movies. Lando's lady friend Bride of Pinbot had a death sentence on her once they explained she had all the navigation data in her head, I was like, "Oh, that's why the Falcon's computer has most peculiar dialect." poo poo they are killing off all the characters we know as well.

Hate that kind of poo poo, trying to legend up every aspect of the original trilogy. The Falcon has a peculiar dialect because it's been illegally modified to hell and back not because it's possessed by Lando's girlfriendtron

How on earth do they write themselves the perfect excuse to write out the dead actress but still insist on using her either as a ghoulish graphical golem or a recast her

And then put all his capes back in his cape closet.

No more than the originals surely. Those were similarly made up as they went along ("He betrayed and murdered your father," "There is another," "Leia is my sister.") and have drastically different visual/directorial styles (see the in depth ESB/ROJ comparison)

I mean, the original trilogy and to an extent the prequel trilogy were disconnected because Lucas got entirely too ambitious and weird with his ideas, while this new trilogy feels like it's disconnected because JJ Abrams who just loves to smell his own farts when it comes to setting up mysteries with no clear resolution and because the other guy with the dainty hands wanted to do something different and then it's going back to JJ Abrams who again, mystery farts

Nice that Disney left the door wide open with Palpatine returning again because if the guy survived being chucked into a reactor, exploding, and then being vaporized along with the Death Star 2 why would getting fried by lightning slow him down

People who insist rots was a good movie forget that after the atonal slapstick where Anakin and obi wan do vaudeville and a man is decapitated with laser scissors there’s three back to back exposition scenes slowly drowned out by the world's most poorly directed actors (the hangar, padme's room and the Jedi meeting room)

The MCU films are adaptations featuring storylines and characters people already know and love.

The Disney Wars movies are creating new storylines and characters but the people Disney entrusts to do this are shackled by Disney's need to maintain a certain aesthetic for theme parks, merchandising, and PR. What creative people Disney actually employs are not allowed to be such because it's too disruptive to the planning for their brand.

This one of the reasons why the faction names in the ST are so stupid and make no sense. They were created to fit a brand and the marketing and merchandising around that brand, and to hearken back to a story that already concluded. Then a story was written around that brand. That story makes no sense because the constraints force them to have to write it backwards from where they want the brand to end up.

Also why Rey wears the exact same outfit throughout the trilogy while everyone constantly changed wardrobes in the OT

I've come to the horrifying conclusion that I would actually rather watch the prequel trilogy than the sequel trilogy.

I don't like either trilogy, but the prequels actually feel like Star Wars to me. Like very bad Star Wars, but Star Wars all the same. The sequels don't feel like anything at all to me. They made such an enormous blunder splitting up the trilogy between different directors; there's nothing that pulls the sequels together. The only things I'm going to remember fondly from the sequel trilogy are:

- Daisy Ridley's performance through the first two movies
- The John Williams theme for Rey playing as she slides down that hill
- Han Solo confronting Kylo Ren
- The artwork for when Laura Dern blew up all those Star Destroyers
- The 45 seconds of Kylo Ren post-redemption where Adam Driver got to do a Harrison Ford impression

That is not much for three movies spanning more than seven hours of runtime.

Have you... have you seen the pt recently? Because those are major, major words you’re saying

Dude, it's a show about a Mandalorian bounty hunter who, aided by a former rebel commando and an Ugnaut, contends with Jawas, an IG droid, an AT-ST, Stormtroopers, and a Moff carrying the Dark Saber to save Baby Yoda. It's made out of blue milk and werewolf aliens.




Yeah, I laughed heartily at how silly it was when I heard about it. Then I watched it and was amazed at how well they pulled it off. Everyone who wishes Maul featured more prominently in Phantom Menace owes it to themselves to watch the Clone Wars and Rebels arcs that feature him. Hell, they even manage to make his absurdly named brother--Savage Oppress--an interesting character.

Yeah that’s fine and all but they don’t need to start bringing in movie characters and I hope that the dark saber is the only laser sword in this series

Nah the most important thing Lucas says is "This is a fairytale. You want everybody to live happily ever after and nothing bad happens to anybody" and he's right. If a fairytale is what you are telling.

Also there is a good character who dies at the end of their story, it's Anakin.
