I hate george Lucas but i admire this 4D chess move. Like disney star wars is truly awful. He got mad at the fans for being mad at him, cashed out to the worst game in town and sat back while they turned a gigantic piece of boomer amd gen x nostalgia into the blandest pap ever made

I thought the new ones had to be better than the prequels, but they're somehow even more forgettable.

This was always the biggest problem with the prequels. There was no one in the room to tell him an idea was stupid. Everyone just went along with every single stupid idea like it was gospel.

The Rian Trilogy will finish up by 2027. At the following year's Celebration, Disney announces they're "Bringing it back home for a new generation"

Trailer plays. Binary Sunset swells, it's a photo of Young Lucas looking determined. End Titles music play to a title screen

"2029. STAR WARS: THE LAST HOPE"

Lights up and Jabba the Hutt George Lucas sits in a director's chair, eager to share his vision of "The Last Star Wars Story and the Death of the Force"

Haven’t all the ideas Lucas had been ridiculously questionable and dumb? Like you read up poo poo about what his original vision for Star Wars was and it just sounds like the dumbest poo poo ever and it was only parred back to a decent 70s sci-fi by a bunch of people on the project constantly telling him that this poo poo he was planning was dumb and forcing his hand to change it.

Lucas core strength is pulling from pop culture and just remixing it for mass audiences, if you do enough regressions on the original Star Wars story it’s just basically Dune with tropes pulled from other old films.

:barf::sweep::zoid:



I was watching an episode of Tiny Toons from 1990 with my kid the other day and they were doing a Star Wars parody episode. It reminded me that there was a period of about 14 years after Return of the Jedi and before the special editions came out when Star Wars references in mainstream culture were sort of rare. Aside from Spaceballs I guess. Most of the 90s were virtually Star Wars free. It’s hard to recall a time when there wasn’t a Darth Vader helmet or Leia braids or wookie fur on nearly every manufactured object.

Some of it was his ex wife's editing work. But yeah, the early drafts of THE STAR WARS just read like The Hidden Fortress or whatever with a lame sci-fi veneer.

in the Universe. For a hundred thousand years,
generations of Jedi Bendu knights learned the ways of the mysterious

You can give the early drafts of Star Wars poo poo for being turgid and full of dumb names, but I think you can give actual Star Wars most of the same poo poo. What’s worse, an emperor named Sheev Palpatine or an emperor named Cos Dashit?

I mean with how big it was and how many cooks were in the kitchen it might have always been doomed, but I feel like if they'd just cut bait with the OT characters from the get-go and done their own thing with it, it would have turned out fine. Instead Disney Star Wars is trapped in this weirdly cowardly creative space where you can tell Brand Awareness was consideration #1

1-6 are a complete thematic arc and any addition to it was always going to have problems, which is why Lucas conspicuously didn’t follow it up. We’ve already done tyranny becomes freedom, we’ve already done freedom becomes tyranny. 7-8 portray a constant, almost meaningless struggle between freedom and tyranny because they have no trajectory left to explore without getting redundant.

Make a story about jedi just meddling in regular people's lives and only doing more damage despite having the best intentions. Jedi are already annoying paladin type, realize it as a scifi aciton comedy.
